First question- try health food stores. Im not sure where exactly tho. sorry. Second question- Protein shakes are good meal replacements. I used to use them for breakfast cause my stomach hurts in the morning, so a shake would be a lot better than food. And if you get the right kind, they fill you up. Herba life works so…

No. You should do it maybe every other day, so you dont strain your self. Or if you feel like you need to do it every time you work out, try doing light some days and doing a hard workout others. Or do it for a short amount of time. But good job with getting back on track. Keep up the good work. :)

Whats that?

HA!:tongue: I can relate.

Good job! Keep yourself motivated and i hope you make your goal soon.

Thats exactly how i got into running! I just recently got into it but its really working. I've gotten so much more motivated for the marathons that i've signed up for (1 5k, and 3 marathons this year) so good luck with it. I hope it helps you too. :)

I wish i could find the stupid thing!!! And i actually used to do the string thing before for the same reason... i didnt wanna know how big i was. lol. Wish i had measured a string before i lost my measuring tape. :(

Carmen Electra's workout videos. They're so fun and teach you some great moves. ;)

I think that your at really good size for your height so dont worry about it. Besides, a US size 0 is tiny!!

Dont worry. It's never too late to lose weight and get healthy so you've come to the right place. The people on here are very understanding and will help you with whatever you need. So its nice that your getting motivated and are ready to have a better life. Good luck with everything and dont be afraid to ask anything. :)

Another great book is called "The Carbohydrate Addict's Program For Success" by Dr. Rachel Heller and Dr. Richard Heller. This diet works so great. I would do it but it requires you to eat a carb filled meal at the same time every day and i work different hours so i wouldnt be able to eat at the same time everyday. But i…

Look online. Theres tons of websites that have great ideas for vegetarians/vegans. Im not a vegetarian, but i try to substitute dairy as much as possible so i go to different sites to find good ideas.

I burn on average 1800 calories a day just with everyday activities. So to lose 1 pound a week, i need to burn 500 more calories than i eat. You should go on sites that show you what you BMR is. Its a great tool to use to figure out how much you need to burn in exercise a day.

This is definitely my downfall on diets. I get bored at night so i eat cuz it is after all the best past time activity. :) So my cut off time will be 9:00. I work til 11:00 sometimes so i do need to eat a snack on my breaks or i get really shaky and weak. Good luck!!

Vitamin E (at least i think thats the one) People use it for scars and stuff and it works great. Try it. Look up different brands of lotions and vitamins and other stuff that has it in it. And good luck. :)

Theres a website you should look at. Theres a list on it (i think its called starving tip of the day) that has all the advice you'll need on when you go out with friends or family to eat. I think its a site for anorexics but i found the list helpful. Just make sure you dont starve yourself like the title says.

Haha. I just posted a topic on the complete opposite. The last thing i wanna lose is my butt. But if you want to lose a fat *kitten*, run. You'll get nice sculpted legs and a tight little but, especially if you run hills. Keep up the good work!

Its completely normal for that to happen... or so i've heard. When anorexics starve themselves, their cycles completely stop. It'll regulate again once you get down to the size you want or when your body gets used to it so dont worry and keep up what your doing. :)

Thanks guys. This makes me feel a lot better about losing the weight. I think its whats been holding me back from going all in. And i am losing weight for myself. My boyfriend doesnt even want me to lose weight at all but i dont feel comfortable in tight clothes so im doing for myself. I just know that he loves a huge…

Ya i dont wanna look like tara reid, she's waaaay too skinny. The other girl is what im aiming for but i know that my *kitten* wont look like that if i lose weight. I just put tara reid on my page to keep me motivated to lose weight. I couldnt starve myself down to that if i wanted to. lol. But thanks for the concern.

Talk to your doctor about taking a different anti depressant. My sister was taking one that caused a lot of side effects she didnt like so he switched her to one that works. Just tell them your concerns and if they're good and care, they'll listen.

Whats the anti-aging plan?? I wouldnt mind going on it.

Take a shot or two. That'll get you buzzed and its less cals than whole drinks.

America does that to you lol.

I started running and doing things like crunches and pushups to help me get ready for my 5k coming up in less than two months. A lot of pressure!! But i found a great way to get cardio done at home cuz its been raining for a while now and havent been able to workout as much. Hulu.com has some exercise videos you can watch…

I would think jogging but there are site you can look that up. But do both to switch up your routine. You cant go wrong with either you know?

Well as you lose weight, after a while it slows down so change up your routine. Try doing an incline and add weights while your walking (not running cuz it can damage to some muscles and strain your back) And try going for longer walks/ runs. And dont forget to add strength training. I suggest getting a body ball (works…

Congratulations. But like she said, start early. Plenty of girls will wait until the last month to lose weight and they end up trying to starve themselves into that dress. Dont do that!! Stick to low calorie diet and find exercises that you can do. Strength training on your arms and crunches for your abs will do wonders.…

Hey. I have a similar story. Im 5'2 and used to way 155. I slowly lost the weight but currently i cant seem to lose any weight. Its like i dont have the same motivation i used to and i dont know what happened. Then i found this site and the people on here are really supportive. ive managed to another 3 pounds. I have…

You also have to consider that some of those dont take your BMI into account but can still be more accurate than the ones on treadmills. So make sure you buy a good one that is very accurate. and let me know how it works cuz ive been thinking about buying one myself.
