Another thing is that I'm working at a job 4-5 days a week where I'm constantly running around and scoopng ice cream... I feel like this may be why I don't always have the energy or motivation to be doing intense workouts 4x a week..

Damn girl! You look so good. I'm jealous of your curvy waist :)

No problem! I try to research nutrition as much as I can. I have a hard time trusting things, but that's just me.. lol. :) As for muscle weakness, I'm not too sure! I, myself, haven't experienced it but I'm not religious about drinking them everyday, so I'm not positive whether the effects would be long term. To be honest…

You all rock!! Thanks for the ideas. I read a few articles (and spoke to my doctor) that you should really steam your kale before throwing into the blender. The oxalic acid in raw kale can lead to muscle weakness. http://www.bulletproofexec.com/the-kale-shake-is-awesome-so-upgrade-it/…

In the morning I love dicing up peaches and apples and having it with cottage cheese.

I want to either get a spray tan and see what it looks like, a belly button ring so I can wear crop tops and show it off, or some new clothes :)

omg you guys ROCK. i can't wait to test these out :D

bumpity bump bump lol

Awesome! Thank you. I think I'll actually try that. I'll do some more arms today & legs, then might stick with just legs/core tomorrow.

heaviest: 172 lightest: 148 (when body percent fat was higher, and muscle percent was lower.) now: 150-153 (when i have some muscle) goal: 130

I unfortunately will be out of town labor day weekend.. so maybe I'll have a late start? And finish into early October? :)

thank you! and definitely decrease body fat. i am hoping to lose 10 lbs of fat.

Thanks! I'll check it out. ;)

Well, it's a full stomach but I see the bloat in my love-handles. AKA my waist disappears, and I just lack a shape all-together and it just depresses me everytime I look in in the mirror.

bump..

Thank you! I'm going to set it to maintenance & try it out. :)

I got a little confused here.. Your BMR is your basic metabolic rate.. meaning, the amount of calories you burn in a day? PLUS the 250 you burn from working out? So in total you burned 2050? And what do you mean by also reducing the intake to 1550? Ahhh for some reason this part majorly confused me haha, sorry!!

bump. what is hrm/brm/etc?? i mean.. i was kind of asking that lol

Again, I don't know what you all mean by "HRM" "BRM" "MPH", can you specify?? Thanks for your replies, by the way,

Also, thanks for the reply. I've noticed my stomach always grumbles and it really pisses m off HAHA. I know that sounds so dumb, but I've actually never found eating so annoying. I was up till 3AM the other night constantly having to get out of bed and puttinf something in my stomach because it wouldn't shut up. It's just…

bump bump bump bump bump.

bump.

I'm a notorious binger. I feel your pain. Growing up I had the luxury of eatin' all these yummy yummy foods that my little piggy self couldn't get enough of. Think of it as a cleanse. You binged, your body is used to it, and now it wants more. You need to mentally fight it by having a lot of willpower. Are you going to be…

Thanks for showing me how to work the photos!! You rock. And honestly, before I lost weight, I was definitely an apple. I gained it in my tummy & arms, a little in my thighs. You guys can do it! There is a sexy banana/possibly hourglass waiting for you!! :)

I can see how the end looked like one, though. :P Plus it was blurry.

Wow sickos.. that's my tooth brush. LOL. If I even OWNED one of those, I definitely wouldn't put it on a shelf NEXT to the entrance of my room. http://i47.tinypic.com/35l81zb.jpg

No, hourglasses have a waist measurement that is 9+ inches smaller than their hips and bust. Mine is only 4. Bananas usually have the same measurements in those areas, and 32 is close to 36. Hourglass is more like 36-27-36. I WISH I was an hourglass, haha.

Sigh.. here we go again.
