I think I can do it if i stay on track up until then - which I fully intend to do! So I'm in!

Avoid - only because I hate tacos.

I love SUPing. One of my good friends has a board and we go all the time in the summer. They are a bit pricey ($1000+ for the board and $200+ for the paddle), but I think it is a good investment if you are planning on going a lot. Right now a lot of places aren't renting for insurance reasons, so instead they do tours and…

I'm moving there! For a little while anyway. Just got a research job before I go to medical school. I can imagine going from New England to Texas will be a bit of a culture shock.

I always hate the first 10 minutes or so (or the first mile). I started running around May/June of last year and have worked up to 6 miles on my longer runs. Once my body finds its rhythm and has adequately warmed up I am usually ready to tackle those longer runs. It has gotten easier with each pound I've lost, but I still…

9.4 - beautiful skin and hair!

8.2 - love your eyes!

Big tips that I can think of (that I learned) 1) Plan your meal ahead of time once you are familiar with your dining hall - it stops you from making poor choices when you see all of the options. 2) Just because your friends want seconds, doesn't mean you have to get them too (took a while to learn that one) 3) If you are…

Hey! I started losing weight the beginning of my junior year when I was at my highest weight of 181. In the year and half since I've lost 31 pounds. It's definitely a difficult environment to lose weight, but if you plan it out and learn how to say "no" to friends sometimes (and to yourself haha), it is definitely…

My favorite is: "If I could be any enzyme, I'd be Helicase so I could unzip your genes."

I spent the weekend snowboarding. Such a bummer that the conditions are so bad, but that's what makes New England skiers and snowboarders the best - we learn on ice.

Hey everyone! Down 4 out of the 5 pounds I've gained over the holidays - so pumped! I went snowboarding yesterday, which is always fun but the conditions were really icy. I've already been on the elliptical today and did day 2 of the 100 pushup challenge. My arms still hurt from Monday haha.

I like muh face yo.

When I am at home (from school) I weigh myself everyday. My scale at school broke, so I can't check anymore. I have found that I stay much more motivated when I can check in everyday. I don't think much of minor fluctuations as long as the trend is downwards. I don't like not knowing when I don't have access to a scale.…

I use a food scale so that I can weigh out most of my food. I find that it is the easiest way to do it. I also like angel hair pasta because it feels like I am eating more of it when it is still 2 oz.

On a good day I eat less than 20% of my calories after 5. I also tend to eat dinner early that is generally on the smaller side.

WOW that's a big 30 pound goldfish.

I can be both, but I find it MUCH easier to say no to food when I'm bored. If I'm stress I use food to make me feel better... which isn't great because it usually does make me feel better. Until I step on the scale of course.

I love Jersey Shore... I can't help it. I am so entertained. And it makes me feel smarter.

You look like one of those Kardashians! Hahahahaha

Hi! I've tried Atkins - I did it for about three months two years ago. Personally it wasn't for me, but it has worked for other people. I lost about 8 pounds, but I was miserable without any energy and I always felt sick. I followed the program to a T, and my body just wasn't having it hahaha. I also gained the 8 pounds…

Ahhhh so funny! And so true!

Hello! June/May is kind of my time target for losing the last 10-20 pounds of my weight. My starting weight was 181, and over the past year and a half or so I've lost 30, and I'm currently at 151 pounds. Iv'e had some plateaus (my own fault) and some 5 pound gains and then loses (my own fault haha), but the trend, overall,…

That was a big problem for me. I never saw myself as "large", although according to my BMI at its highest I was just at the line of obese. I never thought I was necessarily "skinny", but I thought I could be considered "normal" or "healthy". Definitely not. It took a big wakeup call (the scale number) for me to see what…

I love your wavy hair

Patriots! Although I don't know what will happen if they go up against the Saints. I love Drew Brees but I don't want to go against him haha.

I'm a Pats fan... and all I can say is... I did not see that coming. Hahaha.

I've tried both ways, and I do not lose the weight if I DO eat back my exercise calories. That being said, I believe food logs tend to be underestimated, so I believe I eat more than I actually do ( +-100 calories, so nothing extreme). That is the way my body responds. I also make sure that if I do not eat back my exercise…

The sugar really only becomes a problem when you juice a lot of fruits. The best way to juice is if you mostly put in veggies (mostly greens with fewer root vegetables). It's a good way to get a lot of nutrients, but I could never go hard core juicing like some people do or what that guy did in his documentary. When I…

I am a monster without breakfast haha. I usually have a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter with a piece of fruit (I also like banana slices on top of it). I usually love scrambled eggs but I have them for lunch or dinner.
