HIYA! I'm 24 and I have 76lbs to lose. Add me, I love new friends :-)

WTG!! you look great, keep going!

Hello All, Here is my before picture. The picture on the right is one of me last week - around 215-ish. I am currently 212.5 and 5'2. I would like to lose at least 12.6 pounds by march so that I can be in Onederland.

I recently made a huge batch of shredded chicken (about 4 large chicken breasts) and I use it for a variety of things, salad, tacos for myself, sandwiches, and chicken salad. All I have to add is a carb (usually a piece of bread) and a veggie.

LMBO!!! They are very close to my complexion lol but those are my favorite jeans lol

Must do a lot of ab workouts

The only thing I log is my cardio - I never log weight lifting or anything like that just because it takes too long. Sometimes I don't even log my exercise because I never eat my calories back anyway.

Almonds, fruit, egg whites...

I love the elliptical as well - I always sweat and burn a bunch of calories. I suppose it doesn't hurt that the machine is in front of the tv so whenever I go I can switch the channel to one of my shows and the time just flies by. :-)

I hate plyo - i tried once and not only did I feel my back fat jiggle when I jumped but it was really hard on my ankles. It made me feel bad so I replaced it with cardio x so that it was a little bit of plyo but also yoga and kenpo.

Kenpo is probably the easiest one - the stretching is a little more intense but other than that you're pretty much just kicking and punching - no bending down or jumping around. I liked that one a lot - always made me feel like a bad *kitten* because I pretended to be punching a bad guy lol

I had 14 almonds, a package of instant oatmeal (I ran out of plain oatmeal so I had to use this :-/) and green tea. 240 calories

Hey Girl Hey!!! You can do it!!!

Thanks everyone - I feel really good! I now realize like how tiring it was for me to walk up stairs or bend over and just after losing 40lbs I can do those things with no problem!

Hey, just wanted to say hi because I'm a med student too - 2nd year to be exact.

Thanks everyone :happy:

I weigh in everyday. Last Friday I was 217.8 and this week I am 213.6. I think a bunch of it was water weight but I have been hitting the gym like crazy this week. :-)

You look amazing and I loooooooove your dress!!

Squats are amazing. I've been doing the elliptical and it has made my booty more round instead of the pancake it used to be.

I'd say replace your cereal with oatmeal - cereal is high in sugar and calories but doesn't fill you up - its like a teaser to me I can never stop eating it. Oatmeal on the other hand fills you up and you can customize it a million ways my favorite is 1 cup cooked oatmeal with 3tsp of brown sugar, some cinnamon and a…

Hey there! I'm in med school too - 2nd year! I lost a bunch of weight over the summer and then slacked off October - December because I was stressed and felt like working out was time I could be studying. I wish you the best!!! I'm going to add you. :-)

Hey Y'all, I'm 24. My highest weight was 256 but now I am 214. My short term goal is to get under 200 lbs while my long term goal is to reach somewhere between 130 and 145 depending on how I look and feel. :-) Good Luck everyone and feel free to add me.

Hang out :-)

Eyes and Hair - I LOVE RED HAIR!!

No, I'm not into girls :-/

French fries, buffalo wings, pizza and potato chips!! I couldn't pick just one because I love them all :-)

Hehe I lost a 2 year old and a human brain lol

Yay! I'm excited! SW : 250lbs CW: 222.7 lbs GW: 215lbs (by end of August) 130lbs (ultimate goal)

I did the elliptical for 45 minutes, 120 Lunges, 60 Squats, minute and a half wall sit, 90 calf raises and 90 oblique Crunches

Haha, you all are very close! I'm 23, I turn 24 this September :-)
