Thanks. Just sometimes it gets old looking at my body and seeing the lack of progress I've made since May of 2012. And that website- mybodygallery? I haven't seen a single picture of somebody with a body that looks like mine at my height and weight :(

I would definitely get a police report ASAP, maybe even before calling the parents.

All in my stomach- I'm shaped like a man with a beer gut :( No such thing as spot reducing fat though, it comes off where it wants.

I stayed at The Trafalgar when I went, the rooms were small but I assume most of Europe is like that? It was pretty conveniently located though, I was able to walk most places I planned on seeing and took the Metro to the rest. I just stopped at whatever restaurants we happened to be walking past and I wasn't disappointed.

Be sure you have a 6-12 month liquid emergency fund, give some of your money away, and save up for your next car or whatever other purchase you have in mind- down payment on a house perhaps?

same here. because I didn't loan the government my money I was able to buy a house a couple of months ago. I much prefer being able to spend my money when I want to.

Being attached to their phone. Put it down, pay attention to me. Talking too much about life problems. I don't need a daily update that you still haven't sold the house you bought with your ex. Not being able to tell if you're not on the same page as the other person. You both like each other and like long good-byes? Cute.…

I use the recipe builder, then weigh once cooked. If my entire batch comes out to 650 grams, I enter it as 650 servings. If I eat 125 grams myself, then I enter it in my diary as eating 125 servings.

I use 1 frozen banana (peel and freeze when good and brown), an individual or similar size scoop of greek yogurt and whatever fruit I feel like. Sometimes I buy frozen berries- if I do that then I add some milk. Sometimes I have pre-made fruit salad at home and just add a serving of that, there's usually enough liquid to…

Friday after school detentions were my teacher inflicted punishments for not doing homework. So was being kicked out of advanced math. My mom didn't punish bad grades beyond taking away privileges, and I had chores to do around the house regardless of my grades. When I got an attitude though, that's when I was volunteered…

I just did W7D3 of C25K! 2.27 miles in 25 minutes, not include warm up & cool down. I'm the same chick that failed running the mile in high school because I couldn't run the whole time! My mom started running later in life and ran two half marathons in her second year of running. I recruited her to run my first 5K with me,…

Why does it have to be awkward? I honestly can't remember if it was me or the guy that would usually contact the other first. I guess it would depend on your relationship beforehand though.

Did you ask him the last time his scale was calibrated? What about the last time for the one you regularly use? Were you wearing more clothing, had eaten before hand, etc? There are lots of variables.

I use McCormick grill mates to make marinades for chicken. I cube about 2 pounds worth, let it marinate for a while and then cook in a pan. It stays yummy for days and comes out to 180 calories for 4 oz.

He hasn't tracked at all. I'm just trying to help him get a starting point. TDEE -20% is 3,200 calories a day using moderate, 3,550 for heavy. I don't even know how to pack that many healthy calories into a day.

Sorry if I wrote that wrong- I have 50% carb, 20% fat, 30% protein. I can definitely add tuna or an egg to my salad. I usually have Greek yogurt in the afternoon- I do eat it almost every day already :) I also keep string cheese on hand.

It looks like I'm at 50/20/30- I don't know if that's something I set or not... My breakfast is normally a burrito that I make- tortilla, egg, salsa, hamburger & cheese. That's a big step up from the banana I used to eat for breakfast. I was never a breakfast person so that's a lot for me to eat in the morning. Suggestions…

I was internally yelling at myself last night "you are NOT ALLOWED to quit" on the treadmill. I suppose I should tell myself that more often.

That week was a fruit/veggie fast where I had a few slip ups. It's not how I typically eat.

In one day I could eat a big bag of Doritos and a huge tub of cottage cheese with it. So much yum.

So that's what I have to look forward to? Usually he tries to dutch oven me at night but I can fight my way out from under the covers. If he does it in the morning I just might die...

Cheesy warning... I sleep on the left so when I cuddle with the bf I can hear his heartbeat. When he leaves in the morning I move to his side so I can smell him.

I'm the kind of woman that would in a heartbeat unlock a door if I knew it was locked. Thanks to fobs though it wouldn't even cross my mind. Not to mention some of the cars I've been in will unlock all the doors if one was opened with a key. I don't think this is a good way to judge a woman's character. I would have failed…

I'm 5'3" and carry all my weight in my stomach. Based on current body composition even 125 would have me looking fat. This is what a 20 pound weight loss does for my gut, from 153 to 133. I got down to 129 and there was no significant change. It's hard to say what my goal is because I know I need to start lifting weights…

Will you be back home/ at your dorm, or is this something you need to carry with you and eat on the go/ in the dining hall?

8 minute miles? I would burn out too! I was never a runner though. I run at 4.5 mph (I'm 5'3", 13:20 minute miles) although last night I did a minute each of 5, 5.5 and 6 mph. (12:00, 10:53, and 9:59 minute miles, respectively). Have you had your form evaluated? Most of my focus when I'm running is on my form- if I forget…

I use a foam roller after running and I've never had shin splints. I'm no expert though, this is my second attempt to finish C25K.

My dad and stepmom split up. Being an emotional eater at heart, I started eating junk food and quit going to the gym. Dating an alcoholic didn't help, I drank a lot of calories too. And then summer concerts happened where... surprise surprise... I drank more. It's not terribly hard for me to lose weight (153-129) but what…

5'3" SW: 153 CW: 140 GW: 120-125 This picture was from last year when I was at 133- I carry almost all of my weight in my stomach. It's hard to look at other 5'3" females around 133 with almost a completely flat stomach and see how much of mine still sticks out.

I'm not a fan of egg white/light stuff, so: 3 or 4 oz of marinated chicken or pork 1 cup boiled mashed red potatoes, skin on 2 tbsp sour cream on the potatoes 1 serving canned corn, peas or green beans It's really filling & depending on specifics, it's between 360& 420 calories. It's also super easy to make ahead of time-…
