Though you cant necessarily target where you want to lose fat, you can utilize the muscles necessary to push your body in the right direction... I personally like blogilates back workouts. If you want to check her out her website is blogilates.com and she has so many awesome workouts, even a back series.

I highly recommend jillian michaels, especially for losing weight around the mid section. If you don't feel like paying $10 for her dvd you can always find it on youtube.. the 30 day shred is amazing, I lost about 10lbs with this dvd and a lot of it was belly fat. I followed it up with ripped in 30 (which im just about…

For me the super hula hoop is my fav, it burns about 70-80 calories. I usually do it for the 10 minutes and by the next day my sides and thighs are so sore. I also like the snow ball fight, its a good workout on the thighs :)

hey! and welcome =) A few tips I learned when i first started that really helped me was: 1. Friends, friends can be so helpful when you feel like giving up, when you need to ask a question, when your having trouble with something... they are fun to have to motivate and encourage and vice versa. 2. Spend the first day…

5"3 Currently 203lbs.. Goal is 120lbs.

id rather be flat, flat flat flat!... haha. But then again, Ive had a significant chest since puberty. Wanna trade?

I cant work out at all at a gym or out in public in general. So, I put on some DVDs and get to it. I find that if i make it fun then I have no issues getting sweaty and burning the calories. I asked for a kinect this passed xmas and its helped a lot with some good cardio exercises and well as the jillian michaels dvds.

Welcome! Youve made a great first step. =) I think youll enjoy it here, most users are quite friendly and helpful and this site is great for teaching yourself moderation and the proper habits to be getting into. Im Christina, 22, from Canada, always accepting new MFP friends so feel free to add me if you like (this goes…

It depends. If your losing fat around your midsection, then yes.. your body shape will be altered. My body shape was altered slightly when I did it.. but then again, I have quite a bit of weight to lose.

I weigh myself friday mornings. Mornings because its most accurate, and Fridays because thats just the day i picked haha. :P

Alone. Boyfriend is 175lbs of pure skinny, so he eats whatever he wants whenever wants. Hes always suggesting mcdonalds and tim hortons to me late at night. I do my workouts alone because hes always "too sore" or "too tired", and when he does do them he does it laying on the bed (the floor workouts). MFP has been my only…

My mom pierced my ears when I was 3months old. I dont remember a thing, and I love wearing earrings so I say go for it!

Hello!... Im Christina, Im 22, 5"3. I started my journey at 230lbs and am currently 205.8lbs. =) I am always willing to accept new friends who have similar stats as me and also log daily. I am currently on my last couple days of 30 day shred, and also looking into starting C25K.

Calgary, AB, Canada. =)

Hmm, id stick with my boyfriend.. but if it HAD to be someone famous, id go with.... Michael Ventrella from Biggest Loser S09. Ok maybe hes not famous per se, but I think he'd be a fun date.

I work in a long term care facility and burn about 1500-2000 calories at work. I think MFP calculated you a little bit high. If you put yourself as sedentary I would definitely change it to lighly active and dont log your work calories.

When I first joined this site a year ago I used my first few days as an eye opener. I would log everything I ate, but ate as normal to show myself how bad my habits were and how unhealthy I was. I was consuming 2200-3000 calories a day and I was completely shocked. Try to remember that your starting out and your bound to…

If you deprive yourself your more likely to succumb to cravings and go overboard. Try using laughing cow wedges, or a lighter cheese. Measure it out and be very accurate with it. Also, If you go to subway you can still have cheese just ask for shredded (because you get less of it) or ask for half the cheese. =)

Whole milk Bread Pasta noodles MASHED POTATOS!!!!! Sweets (chocolate, donuts, candy bars) Like the above person said you can still eat these things but in moderation. Or, if your looking to substitute I would say drink almond or soy milk instead of whole milk, whole wheat bread instead of white, rice pasta instead of…

Hello! My name is Christina, im 22, 5"3, and have about 80lbs to go before I reach goal. Im also in the health care field, im an HCA/NA/PCA. Im always willing to add more friends to my MFP family, to both give and receive helpful advice and tips!

I actually recommend rice pasta, its 100% whole grain rice formed into pasta noodles and tastes exactly like regular white pasta. I buy the 'Rizopia" brand... you cook it the same, it tastes the same, but its way better for you. =)

I tried to do the same thing in the past. I would buy the smart ones meals for my dinners because I was too busy to cook... I ended up gaining 30lbs back due to the carbs, sodium, and fat in those meals. I used to recommend them to people as they are easy and most of them are pretty delicious but your best option would be…

sure are!.. 22yrs old from Calgary, AB (originally from Mission, BC though haha) 209lbs, goal 150lbs. 5"3.

Holy crap! you look amazing.. good job =)
