Why are you eating if you aren't hungry? That honestly sounds very silly and I've never heard of someone gaining weight from not eating. Eventually you'll be hungry and then you can eat. As you said it is stressful trying to force an unnatural situation.

Lol, I've been jumproping awhile and even I can't jump for 10 minutes not stop (I can easily run 10 minutes non stop). Jumping rope is extra tough because you are jumping thus fighting gravity. I normally do intervals. Try setting a interval timer, 1:00min jump, 10 seconds rest and do this for as many rounds as you like.…

Your board shorts and tanktop comment is priceless- that's been me since highschool!!!! This year though, thanks to hard work, dedication, and VI, I think I'm going to hit the beach in a bikini for the first time this summer!

First time seeing the Adonis results, I'm drooling!!!

Totally agree, great post. Beauty is different for each person, as long as you are healthy, how can anyone argue?

Today is the end of my fifth week. Started at 127 and am now 118. I am seriously impressed! Also have never been able to do regular pushups, can now do 10 easily :)

Yes, start weight training, it will help you replace body fat with muscle which will slim you down more. Don't worry about bulking up, girls don't bulk without very intense training and supplements, but your arms will look more defined and you legs will probably be slimmer and more toned. Some times losing weight isn't the…

I started my weight loss journey in 2009. I had went from around 100 pounds to 150 pounds in two years during high school, this was mostly due to not living at home, living on a steady diet of pasta, and stress. ^ me at my highest, 150lb. I'm 5'4" Then I did a lot of cardio and went vegetarian. The problem was I didn't…

Yes! To me it's not so much that unhealthy foods (candy, cookies, fast food) taste bad but they make my stomach hurt now and I rarely crave them. Last night at a party I ate m&m's and pizza and by the end of the m&m's the sugar was making me feel weird and this morning my stomach was veeeery pissed off lol. I also have…

Thank you, this makes much more sense :)

I'm no expert and am still trying to learn about this but from everything I've been reading it seems you have to first let go of expectations. Just because it says someone your age, height, and weight, can eat 2100 calories to maintain, that is the average but that doesn't mean that works for you. So many factors play into…

I'll check out your blog, awesome results, you look great!!!

I have been packing carrots and cucumbers and apples to eat during the day so I guess I'm not doing so bad, I'll get lean cuisines too :)

Yes that's what I'm planning to do this next paycheck. I had tried that this past week and my boyfriend ate 2 days of lunch for his dinner while I was sleeping!!! I'll have to put sticky notes on them lol.

At least recipes for these would be greatly appreciated! -Polenta rounds stacked with mascarpone spinach and marinara with a side tomato salad -Rosemary tomato soup with grilled cheese on ezekiel bread, -Handmade mushroom raviolis with a brown butter sauce, fresh thyme, and toasted walnuts, stuffed zucchini boats with…

Those look awesome, would you be willing to post recipes?

I do stick to the calories allowed. It's just that, for example, the oatmeal may say I can have 1 cup of oatmeal as a "normal" serving size. So instead I use my japanese cup. I feel just as full from that but when I see an American cup half full for some reason my brain feels like I need or deserve more because the box…

Peuglow I'm confused by your post, but in case you miss understood me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28unit%29

They also wore corsets (hence the 20inch waists... maybe even smaller). But I agree that eating no processed food or microwave meals, using one's hand as a measuring guide, and going on long walks while never using elevators/escalators would allow someone a much thinner look. Problem is that when people live in small…

Wow awesome a so true! Congrats on your hard work, your waist is becoming very dainty! My scale doesn't move much because I'm fairly slim just very squishy (133 pounds but 28% body fat). At first it was so demotivating realizing the scale wasn't going to go down very much and day after day only seeing a small loss and then…

You look beautiful! Thanks for the great advice, you are so right :)

If water doesn't help, get tested for lyme disease, that's what I have and whenever I exercise I feel soooo depressed and worn out, even if I don't break much of a sweat.

Wow, great work, definitely an inspiration! You can really see how distinguished and beautiful your face is now :)

I have a half cup of oat meal and add add 3/4 cup of soy milk. Put it in the microwave for 2:30 and then add half cup of honey bunches of oats with cinnamon bunches because I'm not a fan of the oat meal texture honestly. I also eat 1 egg with it. The oatmeal and honey bunches are so filling I normally can't even finish the…

I'm the same height as you and had about the same starting weight as well. Feel free to friend me and we can support each other :) My best advice is every morning, every time before you eat, and every time you don't feel like exercising, ask yourself what type of person you want to be. Do you want to be over weight, lazy,…

@dward2011 I can't take any leaves and I could transfer to another school but it would only increase the cost of money that I owe. Luckily half of this school is paid off so I don't owe a lot of money.

Thanks everyone, I know it's weird that someone would ask strangers for advice but sometimes strangers will say it like it is while people that know you will sugar coat things or be afraid to say what they really think.

As an older sister who is meaner to her younger sister, here is my advice- the meaner she is the hotter and more interesting you probably are or are becoming! Try to ignore her and if you have to, just avoid conversation with her. You can try to be nice by inviting her to become more healthy with you and if she responds…
