BUMP

I'm impressed with how maturely you handled this. Many people in these forums tend to fly off then handle and it is nice to see someone calmly handling/taking advice and revising your previous statement to reflect what you actually meant. Maybe the forums aren't so bad! haha Good luck on your weight loss journey

^^This. perfect.

I wouldn't. Exercise can only be good for you. Even if you don't see an associated weight loss while exercising, you will still be a healthier person for it, which I think is an even better result.

I recently got engaged as well! I've been on MFP for almost a year now, I'm hoping the wedding will give me the extra motivation I need to stay on track. Good luck ladies!

Greek yogurt is also fantastic! Lots of protein and yummy fruit flavors. Also, are you a full veggie? I'm a pescaterian and being able to eat fish helps a lot in the protein department, but I completely understand if that's not for you.. Humus, also delicious, has a decent amount of protein. I like to dip carrots,…

I totally hear you. I work about 15 hours a week, do 6-10 hours of research, and am taking 18 credit hours for my final year. Plus, as a senior physics major, I'm also taking GREs and trying to apply for grad schools. It's a nightmare! Lack of sleep, high stress, and little exercise time make losing weight a nightmare! I…

You look like silvermist :) one of the tinkerbell fairies…

@Julz2586 Definitely the cute blonde hair!

I can definitely see a change in your stomach!! Pictures are by far the best way to gauge your progress :) keep it up lady

Does anyone know how to make the pictures smaller so they're actually side by side?

BeFit in 90 is a free work out program on YouTube. Everyday it has a warm-up, a weight training, a cardio, and a stretching/yoga section. I really like it because there are a lot of variations between the days, you never do the exact same work out! Plus they incorporate two rest days a week. Phase I was a challenge when I…

Could you tell me how much I should be eating please? I'm about 5'6, 21, and 150 lbs. I'm not sure what my body fat % is now, but before I started exercising and was about 8 lbs heavier I was at 26% So far I've been trying to net between 1200 to 1500.

bump... I want to see the answers to this, my hips always pop when i'm exercising and occasionally my elbows.

Hi ladies, our previous group has slightly died because our moderator has had some personal issues. In the mean time, we have just started getting a second pin ups group going. It's a little shaky atm because I've never ran a group before, but you are still welcome to join. Please friend or message me and I will gladly…

I tried Alli once, and the side effects are actually manageable, but I didn't notice any significant results. It wasn't worth it to me. Plus, because fats are necessarily for vitamin absorption, there's a chance you won't get adequate nutrition while taking it. So, all in all, I think your idea to toss it was a smart one…

@halliedoll I love how thick your hair is! It's so cute :)

:D thanks guys! @AnotherHolly I actually love your eyebrows! They are so perfectly shaped! @ciaobellaxo I love the flower in your hair, it's really cute/sassy @Tashmayes I love your dress! It's very flattering on you.

@RitaSantoss I agree with coliemarieale, I really love the hair :flowerforyou:

haha so true

I use body fortress protein supplement from wal-mart at the moment... I like the chocolate flavor, and when I mix it with milk it's almost like I'm getting a treat! :)

Ditto what the above posters said. You want to do things in a healthy, sustainable results. It's going to be frustrating, and it's going to take awhile. But in the end it will be worth it :) I typically eat around 1500 calories a day. I try to always stay at least above 1200 calories because I've heard that's the bare…

I'm 21 and about to start my senior year :) friend request sent

Huge, huge, HUGE!!!!! difference :) especially on the back shots. I totally agree with you about MFP making all the difference in keeping me motivated for the long haul. I also love the fact that you have become so close to a few fellow mfps, so I am going to friend request you :) you are an inspiration and I hope you…

^^this. There are some really decent options too... I love the chicken teriyaki. The sweet onion sauce is really low cal/fat.

@ shannyfro you look like an english teacher :)

Right now I'm 5'7 and 149 lbs, and probably a medium frame? I'm not sure... I wear a 9 in jeans, an 8 in dresses, and most often a medium in shirts, but it depends where I'm shopping.

@Kooraloo, thanks! I'm 21. And I agree with artisticappet... I wish I had your hair!

@gec1266 you have a great smile! I'm guessing 28?
