The first time was in high school when I hit double digits in pants size. The second time was after college when I wanted to lose 5 lbs and get healthier for my acting career, which actually resulted in a 15 lb weight loss

Agreed.

Height: 5'2.75 Age: 24 SW: 135 lbs, 34D CW: 114 lbs, 32DD

A tight out-on-the-town dress. WITHOUT spanks!

Making good food choices when going out with cast mates after shows

1750 was recommended, but I gained 5 lbs. So I'm back at my deficit (3 lbs to go!) and am going to try 1500 for maintenance. Honestly, though, sometimes I'm not the best logger, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was going over 1750 more often than eating exactly that

That was my big shocker too! Specifically for me a pumpkin white hot chocolate with skim and no whip ... I knew it would be a lot, but at 400+ calories I nearly fainted. Lettin me down, Wawa!

Haha I live by this ... I don't want any jiggling whatsoever, so I buy as tight as I can.

I reset my goal for maintenance and pray.

115 is the lowest I've seen myself in my adulthood, and I was pretty happy there. I feel like somewhere between 110 and 115 is where I need to be 5'2.75 35-27-37

It doesn't work for me personally. Back when I didn't count fruits and veggies, I had lots of calories "leftover" that I would use on cookies and whatnot. I was losing 2 lbs a month eating on a 2 lb a week deficit. Once I counted the produce in and eating actually at my deficit, the pounds came off the way they were…

5 lbs at minimum

MFP gave me 1750 for maintenance when I was 115 lbs. When I ate that regularly, I went back to a 118-120 range, so my maintenance cals are low too. You aren't alone

I'm the same way as you. I live by KrissyMuree's suggestion.

Agreed. Squats get all the glory, but deadlifts also lead to great results. Also the stairmill is a good way to work on your booty as well as get cardio in.

For me personally, as long as I don't exceed my daily calorie allowance, I'll lose the weight. How I handle carbs, protein, fat, ect is more of a nutritional thing than a weight loss thing. But I know everyone is different.

I love Bolthouse Farms dressings

I love my Polar watch

Thanks everyone!

Agreed!

Oooooh, okay, I was wondering how updated workouts worked when there have only been two DVDs and a few actually Beach Babe seasons. Thanks for answering that for me!

I was in that spot exactly a few months ago. Now I'm like how did I ever eat less?! You'll adjust slowly :) . Just eat what you can. Don't make yourself uncomfortable.

I agree with hip thrusts, donkey kicks, dead lifts, and adding weights! Also I recommend leg lifts on your sides too so you get all angles of the booty :)

I'm not a TIU member (yet), but I have followed the workouts they post on YouTube for the past year now and am finally in a financial place where I can buy the plan! Before I do though, I was wondering, do the workout DVDs like Beach Babe come with your purchase of the plan or are those separate?

I agree with all of these suggestions. Olive oil, nuts/nut butter, avocados, and bananas are definitely some tasty ways to increase calories. And maybe have a snack between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner, like a banana or yogurt or nutrition/granola bar. And even with that, you may still be able to sneak in a…

Kashi and Cascadian Farms are my favorite brands. I can get my favorite types of cereals, but organic. Mine and my sister's favorites right now are Strawberry Fields and Vanilla Island

A banana and some hot tea

I'm definitely feeling you on the new clothes struggle. I went to FL recently and had to stick with tank tops and my one pair of shorts that I bought recently because all of my summer clothes make me look like a bag lady. I just raid clearance racks from the typical young adult stores like Forever21 and Charlotte Russe, or…

I'm interested as well.
