Thank you for your reply! I didn't take it that way and maybe I do. I'm so focused on the instant results that will never get there instantly. I need to realize the best things take time. Thank you for helping me see that!

Thank you for your reply! Yes, I'm using this app program and it's been really helpful! I just wish it had a meal plan of some sort...

What I did when I first started was cutting out soda completely. I cut soda in 2013 and I lost almost 20 pounds in a year by just drinking water. I also did most of Billy Blanks' stuff on YouTube with Taebo. That stuff REALLY burns calories and it's fun to do! Attached is my playlist of his stuff that I really like and…

Ok, so how should I chnage my diet? I'm on a 1220 calorie diet right now if that helps. Thank you, I appreciate your honesty :) that actually helps a lot

I am so grateful to everyone's comments! They are extremely helpful! However, I went to a gym where I had a personal trainer and it didn't help at all. Maybe I wasn't focussed or I was too focussed, I'm not sure. I'm just really nervous about doing the free weights because I'm short and I can't reach most of the machines…

Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers!! I'm more of a college fan though, so I'd have to say University of Nebraska at Omaha Mavericks :)

Ohhh that sounds yummy! Thanks for the idea! :)

WELP! Got my hair done today and my stylist fixed EVERYTHING! And I didn't even have to get a perm! My whole problem was that I was using too heavy a product and my hair was also thick so it was ultimately weighing down my hair. It gets thicker in the winter. So I got it thinned and replaced my thicker product with…

I've tried. Their products really weigh down my hair. I'm just getting really frustrated and I've almost had it with my hair to the point where I'll put it in a freaking bun every day instead of actually doing something with it.

Yeah I thought so too...I honestly think I do have a styling issue. I hate my diffuser with an absolute passion, but when I use it I flip so I'm upside down and I finger scrunch while blow drying but then it just turns to puff, no curl.

Ok, so I put some new pictures up on my page and I'd like opinions. The one that's my main photo that I hope you can see right now, is when I curl it with curlers and let it sit overnight. The one on the end if you click on my photos, past my progress photos, is how my hair is naturally when I blow dry it. Which do you…

Ok so I've gone against the perm and decided to fix what I'm using as shampoo instead because I looked up the Curly Girl Method which says to watch out for sulfates and all that stuff and I really need a good conditioner... So I've narrowed it down to two shampoos and conditioners: Pantene or Tresemme Any ideas?

Thank you dear! I'll definitely do that! You've most certainly calmed some of my fears! :)

No I want bouncy curls without having to sacrifice being natural because of product

Without a doubt: NCIS Person of Interest (I know I'm a nerd, but I don't care! :D) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Once Upon a Time The Voice I think I've also wasted my life on Netflix as well....my sister and I watched all 6 seasons that were on Netflix of Supernatural in about 2 1/2 months. Also, we watched the new reboot…

OH MY GOD!! AS SOON AS I SAW THIS I HAD TO REPLY!! I HATED drinking water too, but I found these flavor things that you squirt in to water and it completely changes the taste. It doesn't taste like water and I'm drinking at least 8-10 glasses daily, easy. I usually get the "Our Family" brand because they're cheaper. They…

Yeah, that's been hard for me too, but I just bought a BUNCH of Smart Ones microwavable meals and OMG THEY'VE MADE THINGS SO MUCH EASIER!! You don't have to compromise, just watch what you eat and you'll be good to go, trust me :)

I'd love to be your motivation because honestly I need some too! :D Not just that, but support as well...it's getting kind of tough now haha I'm surprised though I stuck to it this long... I'm Sarah by the way :)

Sorry I think I might have come off wrong, I meant like Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice?

I'm doing all the right workouts, or at least I think I am, but they don't seem to be enough… I do Pilates, yoga, and strength training almost every day. It's just hard because I live with my brother, who works out all the time and seems to have gained a flat stomach almost overnight

@whierd: that's EXACTLY what I'm going to school for right now!! :D

@Terasome Ballerina! :)

But I feel like I'm missing out on an easy way to get rid of the belly fat, you know? I just want it to be easier

8.5. :)

Right! I understand where you're coming from, but what I REALLY don't want to do is have to compromise. I've tried that before and it didn't work AT ALL. It was like I was starving myself. I was only eating salads, yogurt, and apples, all day every day. It drove me CRAZY. I just want to be able to eat without having to…

Then again, I'm feeling really overwhelmed with the whole process of losing weight. I just want to be able to do what will make me FEEL the best and be done with it. Does that make sense?

I will definitely try that thank you!

Oh my gosh! I DEFINITELY did not expect all of this love and support!! Thank you all SO MUCH it means a great deal that there are people here who support me and want to see me do well! I'M THROWING MY FREAKING SCALE AWAY! :D I'M NOT LOOKING AT IT ANYMORE!!!!! I mean to be real, my parents have seen a difference in me, even…
