Yeah.... you definitely need to tell the management at the apartment complex. You shouldn't be afraid of going to the gym or even seeing him around. You live there! You need to feel safe. Best of luck to you.

I'm 5'3 and eat about 1500-1600 calories daily. I work a physical job, and my TDEE is around 2300.

I lost 35 pounds while being high on marijuana constantly. At first, I had a lot of trouble with the munchies and all but after I got my mindset into "it's time to lose weight" I feel that it actually made it easier for me to workout and eat right. since I zoned out so much while high I would find it easier to spend more…

thanks all for your input. I got some nude sparkly heels to wear with, and a black cardigan shrug like the one in this pic

Why bother bashing her if you're not even going to contribute to the topic of the thread. Yes its fine to have a cheat day, that way you won't feel deprived and binge on junk food. But please, if you have a problem with her diary then don't look at it. There's no need to tell her how wrong she is because you don't like her…

When I'm tempted with unhealthy food (and I often am), I look at the calorie content of whatever it is that I want to eat (cookies, a slice of cake, whatever) and compare it to the amount of time it would take for me to burn off those calories with exercise and ask myself, "is it really worth it?" Most of the time, it…

thanks everyone for your advice!

Haha, that dress fits your description perfectly!

Okay, here's outfit #2, which I feel much better about. It does show more leg, and in this picture I'm actually wearing shoes lol. I feel like this dress also doesn't make me look aged. opinions? I resized the pic because it was too big.

I was kind of thinking the two patterns clash together myself. I have a solid grey skirt with a black belt buckle that's about the same length, and I think that would look better.

Wow, what a jerk. It's besides the point that you may or may not know what a portion size is, but the fact that he had the audacity to say something like that to someone. If I were you, I'd forget about it and just smile to myself because I know he must be truly miserable with his live or himself in order to be so…

add coming your way :)

I'm looking for friends too, I'll add you :)

work your way up to the heavier weights. I would start off with 2 or 3 pound weights and when it starts getting easy for you, then increase to 5 lbs. As for push ups, I also have a lot of trouble with the unmodified ones. I have to do 3 regular pushups then either hold a plank pose for a few seconds and continue, or switch…

Ah, I started this last week, and I'm on day 6 today. Can I join? I tried completing it a few months ago, but got a minor injury using improper form on level 2 so I became intimidated of that level and skipped it all together! Now, I'm back in the game and ready to do it the right way. :smile: I'm using 5 pound weights but…

I'll have to try this sometime as I have gotten used to the "smaller, but not ideal" me and find myself feeling fat whenever I go clothes shopping. You look fantastic, thanks for the idea as well!

Personally, I eat back half of them on most days. It really depends on my hunger for the day- sometimes, I find myself being suuuuuuper hungry and having to exercise so I'm not going over my caloric goal for the day! :laugh: what can I say, I like to eat. But like I said, it depends on whether I'm hungry or not. If you…

I'm with you... a few days ago, I was talking to one of my friends about my weight loss goals and he said something along the lines of "yeah, when you lose all that weight you'll start looking so good!" ouch.. I guess I'm not looking good now? :/ oh well, like you said- use it as motivation!

Well, you already said you know you're NOT a failure, so I'm not quite sure why you started this thread....attention? sympathy? just take a few days off until you can work out again, and in the meantime stop complaining :)

wow, I hope my legs look that good when I get to my goal! looking great!

EccentricDad, dude....drop it. just let it go. you are threadjacking right now. take it somewhere else....

DAMN girl! you look amazing! what an awesome accomplishment :) thank you for sharing!

I weigh in every two weeks, just to record my losses (take measurements, pictures, etc) and don't really reward myself with every weigh in.... however, when I hit my goal weight I will be buying a new wardrobe! I can't wait!

Hahaha, story of my life! I wasn't allowed fast food as a kid and when I moved out of my parents' house that's all I ate for months :laugh: I love nutella on whole wheat bread. sooooo good. I just keep it out of sight most of the time, so I don't eat it all in one sitting! :wink:

You look amazing! This is so inspiring! And your cat is so cuteee :3

I'll just leave this here
