I'm a month shy of 21, always looking for friends my age :) Anyone feel free to add me.

I agree with everyone about the ft4. It has a strap that is more cloth-like and less plasticky (super uncomfortable). I don't find mine uncomfortable in even the slightest way. The ones with the straps will give you a more accurate reading, plus you don't have to stop working out (and consequently slow your heart rate) and…

"The girl with red hair and big boobs"

Feel free to add me :) I've been here 5 weeks, lost 13 pounds, and about 10 inches. I'm on here several times a day and am very dedicated/determined to lose this weight! I'm always accepting new friends and looking to create a good support group.

Yep. You can also just add some dandelion leaves into your salad or just eat them plain. The tea tastes better though. Also, I know that when I am drinking 0.5-1oz. of water per pound of body weight, I have no chance of gaining any water weight. It works wonders for me! Fluid pushes fluid. If you drink more, you retain…

Ditch the crystal light, try bagel thins instead of the huge bagels, cut back on your cheese, maybe try to limit your skinny cow to every other day instead of every day, ditch the chips and cheez-its and crackers, try to incorporate a serving of veggies and lean protein into every meal. Try to drink a glass of water, and…

My name is Rylie and I always get called Kylie or Ryan, even Rene, plus people can NEVER spell it right. Same goes with my last name, always spelled wrong and usually pronounced wrong (and my last name is pretty simple to figure out!). I get tired of correcting it, so I usually just let it slide. The only time I correct…

Yes! I'm the same. I crave things like cucumber and berries hahaha

P.S maybe try to incorporate some online classes so that you don't have to worry about commuting, plus it saves time.

I know you don't want to, but maybe cut out juicing. If you eat the whole fruit/vegetable you will get more nutrients and all the good stuff in the fibers that you are (I'm assuming) throwing out after you get the juice out. Another thing to do is dedicate a couple hours once a week (for example a Sunday evening) to…

A binge means something different for everyone. Like you said the definition of a binge is eating, "unusually large amounts of food" Everyone has a different idea of what an unusually large amount of food is. For me its something like eating 4 slices of pizza as opposed to my usual one slice. It's not necessarily the…

I'd choose to be taller. I wish my breasts were smaller, I think I'd look so much more proportionate and I think it would make me look a lot thinner. Plus, large breasts are a pain (literally and figuratively) hahaha

ME! I'm starting tomorrow and I've heard so many great things, I can't wait!

Thanks for the kudos! I'm still new at it, we're all a work in progress here, right!? However, I dove in head first and don't plan on coming back up for air any time soon. :)

^^^ LOL oooooh girl you look so good! Congrats!

I'm always welcoming new friends and I definitely believe in keeping each other accountable! I'll add you :) Anyone else feel free to add me as well (although, just fyi, I feel most comfortable with female friends at the moment)

Laura Mercier ALL of her products are great. A bit more expensive than drugstore products, but you're getting what you're paying for, plus it lasts forever! You can purchase her line at Sephora or LauraMercier.com

This is a good question and honestly, I don't know the answer. However, in my opinion, if you can only squeeze in 10 minutes of exercise, make it interval training. IT has tons of great benefits and can burn more calories than a steady pace of exercise. Here is some good info & examples of interval training that you can…

Stress hormones can cause you to store excess fat, that may not be your problem though. Try to find 10 minutes everyday to just relax, meditate, play a game, whatever will refresh your mind for a little while. Try to eat clean, and limit the amount of toxins and chemicals in your body (there are a lot of ways to do this…

I never said it increases it, I said it keeps it stable. Even disregarding the metabolism statement I made, it is true that if you constantly spike your blood sugar by engaging in intermittent fasting you will store much more fat than if you eat balanced meals/snacks on a regular schedule. Fasting can elevate cortisol…

I don't accept guys because women and men lose weight differently, so its hard to relate to them a lot of the time. Also, it's kind of a privacy thing. I think I would feel a little uncomfortable with males on my list. I know I would definitely censor certain posts if I had male friends. For me, it's almost like having a…

Just fyi fasting for 16 hours a day isn't good for your metabolism. It should be the other way around. You want to eat every 3-4 hours to keep your blood sugar from spiking and to keep your metabolism stable.

anyone?

these fats are great for you and as long as you aren't eating more than about 40g in a day, you'll be fine. I like to limit my fat to 9g a meal.

Just because you has surgery doesn't discredit you! Like you said, you worked damn hard for those 48 pounds! Congrats on your progress so far, if you keep it up you'll be at 200 before you know it.

Abs are cooked in the kitchen! Eat clean, whole, organic foods and focus on core exercises. Strength training with a touch of cardio will probably be your best bet. Good luck! P.S. If it's a lot of loose skin that's getting you down, give it time. If it's been a significant amount of time and your skin isn't tightening up,…

Sorry that was a reply to this: I eat 1200-1300 calories a day. I try to eat all organic, clean, whole foods from the earth. Any meat or fish I eat is usually salmon or extra lean chicken, and its always free range, or wild caught and organic. I try not to eat anything that has added sugar and have quit soda and candy cold…
