Well I lost 7 pounds in one day then nothing for twelve. That's why I'm concerned.

...lol, thanks.

Bump !

Like 30-35. I work at J Crew part-time about 25 hours a week, and also have a voice studio I work out of one day a week doing lessons for 8 hours. Can't wait for the day when I'm done with undergrad and law school and can get a legitimate job. -_-

I'm going to be lazy and post this just to see my join date to the left... I feel like it's been a couple years.

First of all, congrats!!!! Second - you are (and were) absolutely gorgeous!!

HOT DAMN. Good for you, that's a pretty rockin torso.

Thanks for the recommendations, guys - just watched Forks Over Knives, it was pretty good but not super captivating for the most part. Still worth it to check it out :)

Anderson Cooper. ...or Zefron.

Ken - you are amazing, thank you for the response! I think I'm going to start focusing more on weight training now then, because cardio just hasn't been very fun haha and I'm kind of motivated now with the thought of having solid arms! How many calories should I be budgeting per day with this diet? I've been doing around…

Thanks for all the responses, guys - gives me some stuff to google! Quick question - should the protein I take after a workout (1 gram per pound) be ON TOP of the protein I normally take in in a day?

Wow, sounds like a pretty bad outlook overall haha... maybe I should start stocking up on Lean Cuisine or something? lol

Wahoo, congratulations!

Whoo, so many answers so soon! haha Because I go to school in NYC, I don't have a car I can run to. And because I'm taking four classes in a row every day, I really just don't have enough room to carry a lunch bag around on top of all my books, notebooks, and gym bag. It sounds like the best choice would be to have…

Gorgeous!!!! Congrats!!!

I've started and ended dieting so many times due to binging, I can totally understand. My thing is I always binge late at night (like midnight-ish). I try to stop eating by 8:00 PM, but due to a handful of sleep disorders, I typically can't fall asleep until 3 AM-ish. What I do now is make sure that dinner is always my…

Wowza, you look incredible!!!!! Congrats!!

That is fantastic!!! Congrats, my ultimate goal is to lose 145, this is such great inspiration!

Just threw my crust in the oven... cross your fingers, y'all! I'm really bad at cooking :happy:

This is a fantastic story... I wish something like this would have happened to me during my childhood, that way I'd have a fast food complex growing up! :laugh: :laugh:

2:19 AM, I am trying so hard not to wake the house up with my laughter!!

Same sex here, but it's definitely smile! Nothing beats a man with a dreamy smile ;-)

Thanks everyone, it's reassuring to know that I'm just being paranoid!! Haha, back to weighing in a few times a week. :)

Congrats, you look gorgeous!

Wowza, you look awesome!

Holy crap, I'll take that body, please!.. :P Really great post to read through, though - thanks for that, and congrats on your success!

Welcome! I love zumba too, wish I had time to sign up for my old class. MFP is awesome, I'm sure you'll love it here!

I love my gym for two reasons: one, it's open 24/7 during the week (closes early on weekends unfortunately); and two; all the treadmills/bicycles/cardio machines have hookups that let you plug your headphones in, and about ten tv screens/channels. I like to combine the two and go around midnight and watch Leno & Jimmy…

<-- Guy! We're hidden on here, it seems, but still here!

I live in Connecticut, which is ranked as the second leanest state... interesting. I definitely don't see that many overweight people in CT, especially throughout middle/high school. Not sure why that's true, as there's really not a ton of outdoor activities to do here. I guess there are a lot of sports, but I think that's…
