^^^Hahahahaha perfect gif. Perfect. I agree with most people on here, it's not safe to do for long periods of time. I do, however, do a fast once a week where I only eat fresh fruits and veggies and drink water for the day. No juice, no coffee, no bread, but I do it for religious-ish reasons. Anyone could do it for the…

I'm on my last week of Insanity and it has been FANTASTIC. I wasn't totally unhealthy before, I ran and went to the gym about 3 times a week but Insanity kicked my *kitten* so now I've lost 3 lbs (131 to 128) and I'm so much more tone AND it has really inspired me to be more fit and active. It encouraged me to do the…

I'm in! I only want to lose 9 lbs between now and then, but it's the last ten that I hear are the hardest (and boy, is that proving true!) :]

I have a desk job too so I try to walk around the office (making up reasons like: Oh i have to check this guy's mailbox? haha) and I keep water on my desk at all times (ice water!). I started eating smaller meals throughout the day which keeps me from snacking on unhealthy foods. I eat breakfast before work, a mid-morning…

haha add bacon on the side- I'm all for that:] but chia seeds are a natural seed (obviously) that have ridiculous amounts of protein and fiber and the daily recommended amount is only 1tbsp so its not like you have to eat a whole bag to get their true value. But I had to search a lot for these (regular grocery stores don't…

That sounds awesome!

That is fantastic! Your goals are in the right place and your parents are going to benefit so much health-wise and I'm so glad to hear that! This is so exciting for your whole family:] You're not only an inspiration to your parents, but to us here too:]

Protein. You've got your shake and that's great! But keep protein in your snacks too and it helps regulate insulin levels and gives you a feeling of satiety so you don't have cravings later. Bob Harper (Blue Team trainer on the Biggest Loser) talks up the benefits of having protein at every meal (don't go too crazy though,…

Hey! I'm a sophomore in college too and I would love to be your friend! We can keep eachother on track! Best of luck! p.s. friend request sent!

special K protein shakes are delicious...they've got more sugar than most others, but the dark chocolate is SO friggin' good

Don't focus so much on the weight loss as on how you feel. Do you have more energy now? Are you having fun working out? Do you feel stronger? There are so many other benefits to this lifestyle than just weight loss. NSVs (Non-scale victories) are some of the best benefits of eating right and exercising. So set some of…

These are all awesome! I need to do a tough mudder sometime! Here's my list! 7/14 Warrior Dash in Earlham, Iowa 9/15 5Khaos in Carlock, Illinois 10/6 Color Run in Des Moines, Iowa

I think that if you restrict cravings too much it can cause you to crave them more and could (down the line) lead to binge eating or overindulging and so I say go for it! As long as you're still consuming a balanced diet and exercising, I say reward yourself with a little sweet treat:] It's well-deserved, I'm sure! :]…

VITATOPS! They're full of vitamins and essential nutrients and they're only 100 Calories:] you can find them in the frozen breakfast aisle and you just pop it in the toaster and enjoy:] My personal favorite is Deep Chocolate, but there are so many choices.

Have you ever seen those sandwich thins? It's like a bun/bread slice only incredibly thin? Haha. They're not only delicious, but they cut out some of the carbs you normally consume with a sandwich. Also, use avocado on any normal sandwich (like ham and low-fat cheese or lettuce and cucumber) instead of mayo or other…

Brilliant!:]

These are all so great! Thank you so much! (Keep posting!!) I wish you all could see me madly writing every idea down so I can go grocery shopping after work! haha

check out undressedskeleton.tumblr.com (I know the skeleton thing sounds iffy, but she explains on her blog that it's referring to the "real her" underneath) but she has links on the side for some seriously tasty recipes (they're my got-o for lunches) and she has a whole category for salads!

Mmm ya know, I've never tried hard boiled eggs (isn't that crazy?) so I may have to since everyone is raving about them:] but these are great! Thanks! Keep 'em coming if you have ideas:]

Hi! I'm still in college, but I stayed slim throughout high school, but battled my weight entering college up until this summer when I'm finally trying to take the reins and control it. I've been up and down in weight and sometimes it's nice just knowing that other people have the same concerns. Feel free to add me and I'd…

My friends and I have been doing insanity for almost a month now and we do it every morning at 6:30 before we all have work. It was a big commitment at first, but I started feeling more awake throughout the day, I adjusted to getting up early, and it helps so much to have a group (about 5 of us, give or take) to motivate…

I like your attitude:] It's not so much about size as it is about how good you feel in your own body. I'm in the same position as you, I know I'll probably stay this same size, but I really want to be healthier. Friend me if you'd like!

I agree that you probably aren't consuming enough calories to fuel healthy weight loss, but if your caloric intake is as low as you say and you're doing that much strength training, you may just be gaining a lot of muscle (which I'm sure you've heard weighs more than fat). I'd say boost up your calorie consumption a little…
