Kill the diet sodas. They may say 0 calories but think about all the crap that is put into them to make them still taste like soda. It isn't good for you. And drink MORE water. I drink a little over a gallon a day. It keeps my body hydrated and functioning properly.

Hey there. Listen, I've been working steadily on weight loss since February now. I've lost 35 pounds with twenty more to go. Weight loss isn't easy. Don't give up. Do you know how many times I've slipped, tripped, and fell? Countless. But I won't let one bad day (or even one bad week) ruin my determination to look amazing…

From what I've heard, you have to have two shakes a day for weight loss; one is only for maintaining. Well, I only use one a day and I'm still losing weight. The whole point of any kind of meal replacement program is to take out a meal (some people think a HEALTHY breakfast is 600 calories) and replace it with some kind of…

Hi there! It's nice to see someone around my age on here! I eat around 1300 calories a day but I don't always reach that mark. It isn't a fad diet or anything, I'm just not hungry sometimes and I won't force myself to eat more for no reason. I exercise four times a week and lift often. This is a lifestyle change for me as…

If you don't trust him, leave him. Don't put him through your insecurities by going through his things. Chances are, he's just being a guy and you're being crazy because you're insecure about yourself. Before I get my head bitten off because people think I'm being rude or something... I was in a similar situation. Turned…

I started losing weight January and I've totaled 35 pounds so far. I only started using MFP 12 pounds ago. You're going to have some pitfalls and sometimes its going to feel impossibly hard to stay on track but, if you want it bad enough (and it sounds like you do), you'll keep trucking in the right direction. Feel free to…

I wear it at work or when I'm going out to have fun. Other than that, I prefer my natural face. I don't like the feel of too much makeup on my skin. Plus, it has a tendency to make me break out if I'm not careful. :noway:

Sounds to me like water weight or you're overdoing it with your exercise. Burning 2500 calories a day but only eating barely 1300? I feel like you're sabotaging yourself. I won't nitpick your exercise but I will say something that I feel like other people haven't. Drink more than a gallon of water a day. Initially, you'll…

Especially when you're just starting off, a whole *free* day can be really detrimental. Your body can feel deprived so you'll want to eat everything! And after a day of eating all the old foods you used to, it can be IMPOSSIBLE to get back on track when the next day rolls around. I speak from personal experience. However,…

DO IT NOW! TONE! LIFT WEIGHTS!

If you can't support me and my goals, I don't need to support yours. And I also don't need to be your "friend". I surround myself with those who encourage me and let me encourage them, people who want the best for me and love to see me shine. No offense to your friends, but that's just me.

This is coming from a woman. I understand your frustration with him but to me, it sounds like you're being nagging and no guy wants to be around that. They shut down and avoid the situation. Spending time with his buddies is a better option for him while you're in this mood. You're going to have to sit him down and calmly…

Onions. Don't like the smell, don't like the taste. Liver. No thanks. Chunks of garlic. For seasoning, it's great in powder form. But chunks of it and I pass. For the longest time, it was american cheese in slices. One time at the grocery store (when I was really little) the lady behind the deli counter gave me a piece of…

Stick to your plan. If he really cares about you, he will support you AND your goals. He isn't allowed to tell you to stay one way or to change. It's all completely up to you. It's YOUR body and YOUR life.

Hi there! I'm all the way from Delaware! Add me if you'd like! I'm trying to log every day and I'm into exercise. LOVE weight lifting!

My man used to say not to lose the booty but when I dropped the fat and started toning it, he no longer said anything. :laugh: Just because you lose weight, doesn't mean you need to lose that butt. :tongue:

Start lifting now! Lifting is about shaping your body. You can burn all the fat you want with cardio but you could be left with extra skin and, trust me, that feels just as bad as being fat. I lost only twenty five pounds when the skin under my arms started to sway a bit. Ugh. I felt really intimidated at first but then I…

Exercise and diet are the biggest factors here. It sounds like you're doing well with exercise but fat builds up due to diet. When too much fat occurs in an area, you get the cellulite. I used to have it too! All over my thighs and butt. With the proper diet and weight loss, it went away. Keep track of your foods. Track…

First love? I was 17 and in high school. Yes, I thought it would last forever but, as these things tend to go, it didn't. Broke up my senior year of high school and I was devastated. Did some dating after that and boy, I'm glad I didn't stick with the first one I fell for. I had A LOT to learn. lol

Thanks for the opinions that everyone is giving me! I was a little bothered by someone trying to tell me that my trainer is stupid, though, seeing as how she gave me my life and confidence back. :grumble: But oh well. Can't please everyone. Anyway, I'll look into getting a professional spray tan then. I'm not obsessed with…

Haha. This made me laugh because my mother used to joke about me being a vampire! :laugh: Seriously, though. I wasn't planning on going crazy and tanning like mad. No, maybe once in a while for less than ten minutes. Surely it can't be THAT bad for your skin that I'll look all leather-like one day. Right?

I love how everyone is complaining about how bizarre it is that you aren't allowed to bring in outside food (which I agree is weird), instead of offering advice on what to do. :ohwell: Seeing as how I work in a restaurant, too, I know exactly how you feel. I put some money into appetite suppressants for a while but they…

If you're bored with those, try to find Insanity through torrents online. I did and loved the results that I got! After doing it for sixty days though, I tried to do round two and was just bored. Then I joined the gym to kill the boredom. Can't succeed if you're too bored. lol

Everyone is different but I tell as many people as I can. It helps give me motivation to stay on the bandwagon and keep going. Don't really tell relatives though since I like to see their jaws drop when they see me again. :laugh:

I passed my halfway point a few weeks ago but I'd still love to add you! I've got 20 or so pounds left to go!

I can totally relate here. I'm not married but I've been dating my boyfriend for a year and a half now. I used to be 5' 5" and 190 pounds when we got together. He's 6' 1" and weighs around 210. While I didn't weigh MORE than him, I wouldn't ever let him try to pick me up or anything. No piggyback rides. And I've ALWAYS…

I've been "dieting" since December of 2011 and it never became habit. Even now, when I'm 35 pounds lighter, it's a struggle to keep going, even when the scale and tape measurements look great! I seriously think I'm addicted to food. It's HARD to stay away from pizza and say NO to foods I love. It hasn't become habit to…

I'm on ViSalus right now and have been for months now. I'm up to 34 pounds lost and I've got 26 left to go! Yes, it IS expensive. I won't deny that and it's hard to afford at points. But in taking the shakes every day, twice a day, I've actually cut back on my grocery bill. If you order the Transformation Kit, it also come…

I'm in the SAME position since I'm living with the parents until I finish college. Even though my father has diabetes, they all still eat the worst possible (but BEST tasting) foods out there! Really, the best advice I can give you is to just say NO and avoid the kitchen when they're eating that food you want. You have to…

Thanks everyone! Wow! I feel popular! =)
