I'm 5'6" and wanna lose ~20 can I still join? ;) I'm for it! The more support the better!

It absolutely is!! I have two close friends, one was 230 and now she's 120, the other was 250 and now 135. Yes it took the first one 1 year (she was VERY dedicated) and the second took 3 years. They are now SMOKIN hot :D You can definitely do it! They said the best best thing they did was set small goals of 5-10 pounds at…

That's amazing!! Keep up the awesome work!!! :)

This isn't much of a "diet" but rather what we should be doing anyway. Added sugars are always bad (which is why sauces are forbidden, they also hinder any progress you've made with exercise and eating well) but I like my carbs and they are essential. I just stay away from the useless carbs like bleached flour, processed…

Have you just recently (within the last few weeks) changed you exercise habits? I am like you too. I started Insanity a little over a month ago and the first few weeks I was ravenous ALL the time, eating more than my allotted calories. If you've recently started an exercise program, specially a high intensity one, it's…

I'd love to help you out! I know exactly how you feel. I've basically done every workout and diet on this earth and have finally come to something that works for me so I'd love to know your eating/exercising style and help you out!! Us ladies got to stick together! Feel free to friend me :) I also think having people (like…

Hmmm kinda? I don't have wide or narrow hips. I am definitely not V shape like swimmer. I'd say I'm pretty proportional. I've got a big behind for sure but that goes to the back and thankfully not too much on the side. LOL I'll give it all I got and see what happens. I definitely think there is always room for improvement.

Hey thanks for your input! I'd say my role models are Allison Stokke (pole vaulter) and Lindsey Vonn (Skier) . Here are links to pics I like of both of them. Allison Stokke: http://www.bettertradessports.com/articles/allison-stokke-hottest-athlete-google-it Lindsey Vonn:…

Thank you! I can honestly say I am working my BUTT off!!! :D

That is so inspiring! Thank you! I guess it does depend on what kind of physique you're going for.

This is such an inspiration! I am going to go workout now :) You look fabulous! Keep up the great work!

I am doing the Insanity workout and I am almost done with my first month. It's intense, hardcore, and VERY effective. I average 700-850 calories in each exercise. OH and they are only 40 mins long the first month (that's some intense calorie burning). I remember seeing results after 2 weeks and the results just keep…

Well said! I've noticed sometimes MFP is like a diary for users. That's just not what it's meant for.

We all go through it, don't be too hard on yourself. It's all about taking more steps forward then you do backwards. :)

Don't think like that. You should have ONE hard workout in one day and the rest of the day you should be eating foods that make you feel good. A salad is nothing to worry about unless it was doused in bacon and full-fat ranch dressing. Don't let working out multiple times a day become a habit because that's really doing a…

Insanity is amazing! I am almost done with month one and I am already seeing results. Honestly I just noticed a change a few days ago. If you don't results in the first couple weeks don't give up! A lot of what your results will be like will have to do with how much extra weight you have to lose and what athletic ability…

Thank you! I will definitely be sticking this out. Does Muscle Milk make you bulky? I am already pretty muscular so I am not trying to add on much more muscle but rather trying to tighten everything up and loose the last 10-15 pounds I've been dying to loose since HS years. I don't have a proper recovery drink right now…

BTW, this is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! :) It is a lot of fun though!

Thanks so much for all your insight! Glad to know I am not alone in this. I find that the hardest time of the day for me to eat healthy is between 2-5pm. It's a few hours before lunch and I have a long commute home from work so that's when I have a lot of problems controlling myself. How do you guys eat healthy when you're…

I do the same! Dark chocolate satisfies your sweet cravings (believe me, mine are as bad as yours). If you do this for a week or two, you will actually change the way you feel about sweets! A lot of it is mental commitment too, you kinda have to tell yourself "this square of dark chocolate is going to satisfy me" for a few…

I am pretty new myself and very impressed with the support available on MFP! I added you :) I am always looking for more friends and more life stories to read since everyone goes about getting in better shape in such different ways Good luck!!

I only told my boyfriend and 2 of my closest friends. I feel like as soon as someone finds out I am watching what I eat they tell me I'm not fat, which I already know. I am doing this to be in better shape and learn healthy eating. Also, everyone has SOMETHING to say about losing weight and exercising and that bugs me...…

You look amazing!! :) Great job :)

I am not at all pro-anorexia but, looking at your pictures, you don't look TOO skinny. If you choose to drop two more pounds that's your decision and your choice but if your boyfriend is telling you you're too thin, its pretty obvious that he likes you a little curvy. I don't think you have an eating disorder unless you…

I've done both and P90X Ab Ripper X gave me better results. I swear by it, it's awesome, I love it and hate it at the same time but it sure does work :) PS: I do it 3 times a week

Happens to me all the time. Specially because I am usually up around 6-7 so I have my breakfast at 8, lunch by 1, and dinner by 5. When 7pm comes around, I am ravenous for unhealthy things. You can do a few things that have helped me: 1) Drink a big glass of water 2) Sleep... tiredness makes you FEEL hungry 3) Workout,…

I am new to this site as well and so far I really like it! Actually, I like it so much I always have this window up while I'm working! I love MFP too and if you have a smartphone you should get the MFP app. Good luck on your weight loss! :smile:

I weigh myself everyday too! I know we're not supposed to and it's true, whenever I see an extra pound I go crazy for the whole day. But like you said, I cannot stand the suspense of weighing myself once a week. Like you, my body responds really quickly to a bad day (sometimes a whole 2-3 pounds!) :sad: Also, I have my…

I just followed in your footsteps and completed the same calculations for myself and got similar results as you. If I want to be my goal weight I would have to have a negative body fat percentage. In order for you to reach you goal weight of 123, you'd also have to lose some muscle mass. This is true for me too. I have…
