Try to resist eating out! That's always struggle for college kids, especially where I live. Most of my friends admit that they eat out way too much without realizing, even I've been guilty of the convenience of take out. I walk to all my classes and if I have a little extra time I'll take a longer route. I only take the…

I agree with the other posts. I know you said you're dealing with depression and anxiety and that you feel like ending yourself, but truly look to the positive side of life. Feel blessed to be alive and moving. Even the smallest things we sometimes take for granted and forget how much we have. Being able to smell the rain…

Hi Amanda! I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, seriously. I have had issues with that pattern too, which is why I never liked taking before pictures. I always thought I would just fail after a week. Take it day by day! Find your greatest motivations and use them to push you forward. :--) It seems like you've got goals on…

You like bacon, beef and cheese...you should add me. We already have so much in common. :love:

Motivating one's self is hard isn't it, but it's so worth it when the results start showing! Feel free to add me! I'm an active logger :--)

Hi Sara! The first thing I would definitely try to do is eat more throughout the day, which you said you wanted to help your body adjust to. Just take small steps, you know? Small snacking, don't gorge on snacks all the time, but introduce your body to some natural foods like bananas or apple slices or a small sandwich.…

You can add me! Change is great, sounds like you're motivated and ready! :explode:

Emotional eating does suck! Sorry for your break up, it seems relationships always make people gain weight in some way or form. :cry: Logging food is a great way to watch your eating because you have the visible proof of what you've eaten and the nutrition that was in those foods. If you ever feel like fasting and purging…

1200 calories seems very low from the start... Unless you're very short like me. :tongue: But, even then I'm 5 feet and I take in about 1300 calories with about 600-700 calories burned from working out. I would try actually adding to your calories. Don't be so strict on your diet in a sense of calorie counting, but more so…

Welcome back! Good luck with your journey! Coming back is always better than staying away!

Hi! I'm 5 feet and I'm trying to drop the last 10 pounds too. It's definitely a lot harder once you reach the stubborn area... This is just for me, but I've added a lot more strength training to my regime and also upped the amount of weights I use and the amount of cardio I do. Different things work for different people,…

Could be that a lot of the initial weight was water weight! Switch up your schedule a bit? Look into your nutrition and meal plans. Are you getting enough water? Doing cardio and strength training? Depending on what your specific calorie goal is and you staying under it that could also be affecting you too. I'm not sure…

Hi WinterValen, I think it's great that you're on a journey to lose weight. It's seriously such a great journey and once you start it'll hopefully never end because it'll eventually become a lifestyle. Make small changes, which you seem to be doing. It's hard to go cold turkey for some people; I used to be an ice cream…
