Does your family have a history of metabolic disorders?

Sizes have definitely changed! My stats are similar to yours (5 5 124lbs 35 23 36) and a gaps 0 high waisted skirt had to be taken in. Its ridiculous. Its hugely vanity sized! I'm not a 0! Anywhere! Nor am i less than a 0! I'm a 2 on my best days!

I'm a curvy girl too, and I don't have a goal size. I barely even consider my goal weight my goal weight. I just know how I want to feel, and want to be toned and strong. I know my boobs and hips will never leave me, even when I was a 0, I was a d cup! haha. It's just my skeletal structure, I could never change it, none of…

For me, a binge is going way passed what I should eat caloricly, especially foods high in carbs, fat, sugar, etc, and if I feel guilty looking at it on my food diary. Indulging and bingeing are different to me. I'll indulge in Thai food or a cupcake, but if I binge on them it would be like 2 orders of different things from…

I find that my workouts timing and my meals are important. If I eat sooner than an hour or longer than 3 I'll get sick. Usually an apple or a banana half an hour before or am hour before is enough to prevent nausea for me. When i did Tonique by Sylwia Wiesrnberg, i almost threw up and was too dizzy to continue. It had been…

Pure Barre (I have the original, the production quality is low but the work out is GREAT) is so intense on the thighs and calves, I love it. It'll make you shake during plies. It doesn't burn as many calories as booty barre, but its really intensive focused toning.

you look really pretty in the 5th one :]

I have booty barre, xtend barre, ballet body beautiful, squeeze, and pure barre. I'd recommend booty barre, xtend, and pure barre. the booty barre has a cardio effect, I find myself burning more calories, and feeling it was a better work out. Xtend is the same way. ballet body beautiful made me gain and I'll only do it…

My sister loves Cathe, she does a lot of heavier lifting and is pretty challenging. I love Jari Love, she's considered 'advanced' as well. Tonique by sylwia wiesenberg kicks my butt. Right now I'm doing ripped in 30 by Jillian Michaels. There are also so many different types like pilates, barre, intervals, circuits, etc…

eggplant. bleck.

Congrats on the loss so far!

Honestly it looks like its taking care of itself. keep doing Cardio, eating clean, and do weight training. It just looks like hip fat that's slowly dying.

I'm looking to lost a little then maintain! Haha. Welcome :) I'm new, too

Bacon, tomato, avocado, wrapped in lettuce. I'm simple. And love bacon.

Water weight/retention from sodium, hormone fluctuations even though its supposed to be over, scale got moved? It sounds silly but I was told you shouldn't move a scale because it messes with calibrations (i am not a scale scientist, or any scientist, obviously).

Working obliques will widen them, I think. Also, isn't the v shape what men want? Unless your hips match your shoulders, you're not an hourglass. Not supposed to be discouraging btw, you're doing great and don't look like a girl

Sugar hits your blood steam, your pancreas sends out insulin. Then insulin brings it to the liver (i think) where glycogin forms and is stored for energy. You're supposed to have enough saved for the day, when excess glycogin builds, it forms as fat storage instead. Too much unused energy =fat storage.

It can take up to a year to balance out, sometimes more. Hormones are really tricky. I'm currently recovering from my own birth control debacle. It screwed up my blood pressure, so i sympathize. I keep checking to see if I'm not high anymore lol

You could try zevia, it uses Stevia to sweeten, many don't have caffeine, and they're tasty. They're at Fred Meyer, trader joes new seasons, etc. and natural sparkling waters that specifically say they don't use fake sugars, like ones that use sugar alcohol instead (idk, my boyfriend is type 1 diabetic and won't drink fake…

5 5, goal of 117-118. Edit: just wanted to add that isn't too low for me, I've been 112, which was too low. Before i got in a relationship, i was 117-120. Just so I don't seem unrealistic/unhealthy.

Yes, you can.

I love challenges ! Game on.

In terms of taste + health an ex of mine taught me peanut butter and banana slices. Its amazing, but you have to be careful with the amount of peanut butter because its calorie dense. Usually i just put a lot if flaxseed and suck it up :/ lol

It's great that at least you have your sister and you two are close. I know what you mean though, even if a friend isn't intentionally leading you astray (yours do sound like they're trying to, though) it can be hard being around people who are eating things you are not longer eating because of a lifestyle/not a cheat day,…

Honestly, I'd invest in heavier free weights. If you're a home exerciser (I am) you'll need heavier than 4lbs. I have 5's, 8's, 12's (I would have more if I could, I'd have a field day with a gift certificate haha!) and some barbells of my boyfriends that I can add up more on for heavier weighted stuff. I don't know about…

I want awesome abs too! haha Good luck! I could probably use friends regardless of gender, I am very new to the site. I had it a while ago and then just dropped the ball.

Oh my god! Congratulations. You look phenomenal. It's really inspirational :]

yeah. I did it like 2 years ago or whenever it first came out and really enjoyed it. Since I gained a little weight, I have pulled it back off the shelf. I'm doing the weeks for ten days with 2 rest days so a total of 12 days to finish the week instead of 1 week so that I have the opportunity to move on to heavier weights…

Completely agree. If I'm not a little bit uncomfortable, i don't feel I'm working hard enough! Haha. Its hard to keep going when it hurts your knees, but taking two days off instead of one is infinitely helpful for me when i really start feeling it. Contests for making it so far! I love squats, i wish my knees weren't so…

I'm doing a squat challenge from instagram. I am at 185 squats today, but i had to take a break (i have a sensitive right knee) and have been seeing great results. my butt is firmer and perkier, my thighs are more dense feeling and the little bit of visible cellulite i had when I'd squat is now pretty much gone. I haven't…
