1) lose another 5lbs 2) cook more, eat takeout less 3) make honour roll at school 4) get a new job 5) join a fitness class 6) run a 5k race

Ugghh I feel like I have massive legs/calves in contrast to the rest of my body; I feel so uncomfortable wearing shorts/skirts because of them. my thighs are 21'' and my calves are 15-15.5''

I try to stick to this formula.... carb intake = protein intake + fat intake. for example, if I have 100g carbohydrates, ideally i'd have 40g fat and 60g protein. That's worked well for me; I never feel hungry and I lost most of my weight eating 1200 calories. I'm no expert but it worked for me! lol

december 5th of this year, which happens to be my 23rd birthday ;)

I did Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and saw a ton of results with that :) other than that, I've just stayed consistent with eating well and being more active.

I'm 22 5'5''-5'6'' sw: 175 cw: 134 gw: 125 35/27/38 and currently wearing a size 6 pants. It's taken me about 7 months to lose this weight, but I started very slowly— I only discovered MFP in August which really kept me motivated to keep going. :) I'm not too focussed on weight loss right now, I'm more looking to gain…

Absolutely does get easier lol. The first time I ever did it, I was dying just doing jumping jacks. I have since finished the 30 days and now I'm starting it over again, only this time I find that the jumping jacks are way too easy so I've been adding 5-10lb weights to the cardio moves lol

wow, you look FANTASTIC. well done

I love garden salads with either chicken or tuna, some feta cheese and a little dressing on the side. & whenever I make tacos for dinner, the next day I always pack a taco salad with the leftovers... which is basically just a garden salad with seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, some crushed up tostitos and salad…

That's awesome! I wish I had have gotten healthy when I was still in my teens, making the lifestyle change now is fantastic. you look great!

I couldn't figure out how to edit my original post but I wanted to add some pictures of me wearing (what I believe to be) the same jeans from my "before" picture. I've drawn two conclusions from these images 1) holy crap, those jeans were way too tight on me before lol and 2) I need a new belt. these jeans are a size 12:…

I have a math lab due midnight tomorrow that I should be doing for a class I decided not to pay attention in last week. oops. I also have a team presentation for a communications class that I'm supposed to be researching right now Looks like I'll be up for awhile.

you look great!

thank you so much :) I don't really have any secrets, but Jillian Michaels definitely kicks my *kitten* and I recommend her videos to anyone who asks.

1000-1500 I know a lot of people here look down on people who eat 1200 calories per day or less but I've never been hungry eating in this range. When I am hungry, I eat more and on days when I'm less hungry I take multivitamin supplements.

The first 25lbs was lost very gradually by making minor lifestyle changes. In the beginning I wasn't actively trying to lose weight, I just started making healthier decisions like having salads instead of fries, walking instead of driving everywhere, and then I started using my elliptical machine at home, 3-4 times/week,…

oh god no haha I only do one level at a time. I've done the entire video a couple of times (only after a few cocktails for encouragement lol) but one level at a time seems to be sufficient.

thank you! I do Jilian Michael's 30 Day Shred video most days (but I add 5lb weights to all of the cardio moves) and I walk as much as I can. I'll do 30 minutes on my elliptical machine every once in awhile but not often enough to say it's part of my regular routine.

I've gotten Kaley Cuoco and Christina Applegate... lol blonde hair, maybe? I wish I looked like either of those women!

haha I cant even find a pair of boots to comfortably fit my huge calves :( so I just avoid skinny jeans which is unfortunate because they come in really cute bright colours that I haven't been able to find in other cuts.
