I usually just put some honey, and I think thats perfect. A few weeks ago however, I got really sick of my usual oatmeal. I decided to put put a pinch of cinnamon sugar and 1/2 a teaspoon of nutella. It was soooo yummy! (:

Wooh! This is so incredible. You look so good! (:

such a difference! you look yeaaarsss younger!

I agree with this. In the past, I've wanted to lose x amount of weight in x amount of time, but because I felt like I had sooo much time, I'd never get started and the time would slip right though my fingers. What I have done now is made a list of mini goals (3-5 pounds at a time) and rewards for myself when I reach these…

Ah, this is making me so excited to go to the gym and try adding a little bit of weights. Whenever I do the machines, I feel like they do absolutely nothing for me, so I am going to get over myself and ask gym goers for advice on the regular weights. I really want to meet my goals for when I go back to school. I don't…

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I will try slowly incorporating lifting into my routine. I really hate using the machines at the gym, but I am too scared to go into the free weights section with all of the guys. Hopefully I'll be able to get over myself and head over there for a little bit tomorrow.

Anyone?

I agree with TavistockToads, you totally do not look 59. And look at those legs!! They seriously look great. Congratulations to you, and good luck on your journey! (:

You are so beautiful! You look seriously wonderful! I hope you're incredibly proud of yourself (:

bump - I am also curious about 30 day shred results.

Curent weight - 143 Goal Weight - 130 I am so excited for this! (:

This sounds awesome! I could definitely use some motivation to get back into running!

Soo, we should make a group for this or something! And then we can set shorter weekly goals to keep everyone going. What do you guys think?

Sounds awesome! I love this!

I am wondering the same thing! I work at a bakery and for 7 hours I am carrying stuff and walking back and forth. But like you, when I set up my account I put that my work causes me to be active. I am assuming MFP takes that into account when they set the daily calorie count. If you're really hungry when work is over,…

I didn't realize how many young people are on here; I thought it was all older people! Ha ha. I'm 19 (:

I thinnnnnk net calories are what you eat minus what you worked out. For example lets say you ate 1800 calories today but burned 400 from running, your net calories for the day would be 1400. Thats my understanding of net calories, but I could be very wrong! Ha ha.

Oh my goodness! Such a difference - you look incredible!!

Hmm, now that I am going back through my food diary, I see that the days I had a loooot of carbs were the days I was really hungry. The days I had carbs left over were the days I felt fine. This is really interesting. I am going to try and cut down on carbs for sure!

I looove green tea and have been drinking it pretty often at night. I never thought of making a big pot and saving it though! Thats a great idea!

Oops! I just made my diary public. Thanks for all the feed back everyone. I will definitely be more conscious of drinking more water and getting more protein. But according to MFP, I am getting enough protein. Ugh, I just don't know!

Yeah, I do have a serious love for sugar. I will try cutting it out and getting more protein. Thanks for the advice! This is also extra frustrating because its not like I am over weight or anything. I just want to be in better shape. But this constant hunger just makes me want to settle for this decent body. I don't want…

I usually drink a lot of water. I cary a 32oz bottle around with me and usually go through two whole bottles. And you can look at my food diary. I eat pretty healthy and decent portions. My calorie goal is 1400, yet I go over and am still soo hungrryyy.

Good luck! Let us know how that works out for you! (:

Maybe it has to do with what time you eat dinner? Do you eat really late?

I am in the same position as you ladies - trying to lose about 10-15 pounds (but more importantly just love the way I look) by the time school starts. Its just so tough sometimes! I stay committed for a few days, and then I lose sight of my goals. I don't know how to stay on track!

Yay! We can get back on track together. 30 pounds is a big deal!

Thats a really good method. I think often I am way too hard on myself. I just added you. We can do this!

Yes! I need friends who have the same goals as me and friends who will encourage me to keep this going! Thanks for the support (:

Your "*kitten* kicking workouts" could be just the motivation I need to get my butt to the gym and push myself a little harder! Ha ha. Good luck with this (:
