^^^ This is the best response yet.

Mine was this morning! I wore shorts to work that a couple months ago were uncomfortably tight. Now they're perfect!

You look so good! I'm 5/8" too and hope to get to where you are !

LOVE that pandora station!!!!!

Hi Mike! There's so much support on here = D I used the app on my phone for a little while before getting on the website. It seems a lot easier to log everything online rather than typing through a phone.

I'm 5'8" and my weight goal is 130. I'm currently 152.

^^^^^^This.

Agreed. You're absolutely not eating enough. 400 below target and not even up to 1200? Not so good. You could throw in a protein shake, low sugar high protein. Give your body the fuel it needs. You deserve it, and your body will function better.

I would say that if you incorporate lifting on the days you are not running, 3 days per week is great! Also, if you mix in other things like biking, pilates, yoga etc your body is going to respond pretty quickly. I know when I'm doing my pilates class twice a week (a new session starts in about a week! I'm thrilled!) my…

12 minute miles is what they meant, I'm sure!!!! 12 mph would be insane!

I took Lexapro for a few years, and found it to be helpful. I know what you mean about weaning off and feeling the side affects. They are awful. Vertigo, nausea, headaches. The whole works. I feel for you while you are going through these. I tried Prozac for a few months, but felt completely neutered!! NO sex drive at all.…

Hey! I just had this discussion with my trainer at the gym! What she said is longer distance, slower pace; short distance, fast fast fast. As in doing interval training with sprints for 20 min, going full force on the bike for 20 min, etc. Then switching it up and working out to a slower heartrate (mine would be right…

^This! Also, I thought I absolutely couldn't afford a threadmill, like, ever. But my partner found ours on Craigslist for 40 bucks! It sure isn't fancy, and it doesn't do your heartrate or anything. But, I wonder if you could find a bike online for super cheap, or even free from someone trying to just get it out of their…

I think it's awesome that even with your hectic schedule you are still keeping motivated to be healthy! I am 28, mom to a three year old boy, and work full time too! We've got three dogs and a cat, so life is sometimes more chaotic than I'd ever want it to be. I make time for my workout during my lunch hour at work. It's…

SW: 160 CW: 152 GW: 130 I set my goal weight pretty low, and with the amount of weights I like lifting, I don't know if it'll happen. I think a part of me wanted a lower GW because this site is wonderful...I didn't want a goal that I'd reach right away!

In the end, all that matters is you making the choices that are going to make you feel wonderful and healthy, and if that means turning down unhealthy food and getting crap from friends, so be it. I get that in the office from ladies who have a lot more weight to lose than I do. I will turn down donuts and they say "what?…

^This! :flowerforyou:

I'd say that either you're not logging all the cals, OR you are just not eating enough. I can't see your diary so can't really help. Can you please unlock it? You just go into settings to change it.

I really don't have a ton of weight to lose, about 22 lbs max more. Looking at your chart it seems we have the same about of weight to lose at this point ! I am seeing results, and think it's important to do something that will work long term, not just for the here and now. Anyway, I do know everybody is different, so what…

From everything I've read on here, 1000 net is pretty low. I have been eating most of my exercise cals back because if I don't I feel like my stomach is going to eat itself. But, how are you feeling on 1000 net? That will probably tell you a lot. If you're super hungry, and just not feeling energized, you should eat more…

You look so beautiful and healthy! Not just thin (which you are def thin!) but STRONG and thin...Very nice! Good job girl!!! And thanks for posting!

My gym, Planet Fitness, costs 10-20 bucks per month. If you just need access to cardio and weights, it's 10. If you want to be able to tan and be able to bring a guest any time you like, however many times you like, the cost is 20/month. They do charge a 60 dollar annual fee, but for me the gym is perfect. It does not have…

I can't say I've given it up completely, but I've scaled back on alcohol. I still have drinks on occasion, but have to limit to every once in a while instead of what I was indulging in before. Used to drink a couple drinks a night 0.0 I feel so much cleaner now, if that makes sense. Alcohol makes me not want to work out,…

Tillapia!

We actually met online two years ago!!! :love:

Looks to me like you've put in a ton of HARD work! :happy: Good for you! It does look like you've got a bit of skin there. Maybe you could get in to see your primary doc for more info.

^^^This!

I'm usually so focused on my workout and how much I'm lifting or keeping my heartrate where it should be that I don't find too many people annoying. Reading other people's gripes is pretty fun though! Thank you for the post!

I've love to support in any way!!!! Welcome!
