rollerblading and when it's hot outside, running.

I live in apartments too. my neighbor goes in our courtyard with her dog and does exercises on the stairs. I don't think she's weird but I know other ppl probably wonder what the heck she's doing! I also love to just walk around the city.

Ooo I forgot about South Beach! My Ex years back did this and I joined him. It was also stupid. he had me eating ham and eggs everying morning *vom* Is it needless to say I just gained weight while with that guy? LOL! I also used Slim Fast drinks when I was 18-19. At the time they were making non-dairy ones. They were Ok…

I did the cabbage soup diet when I was like, 19. It was stupid. And I still can't eat that soup mix to this day. :P I've done the fruit cleanse. It's actually kind of cool as a cleanse, not as a diet, if you like fruit (which I don't anymore). My favorite fad diet is the one where I eat a little less and exercise a little…

It's a change for sure. I'm at a desk all day. I got used to it by constantly writing down my meals and snacks. I think about food a lot because I like it. Planning out my meals and snacks ahead of time is helpful and gives me something to look forward to! Also keeping track of all the food has helped me learn what keeps…

If your knees are hurting, you may be over extending. Try doing them with your legs spread far apart as well - works the inner thigh and glutes (sp) and is not as much strain on your quads for some reason. I think it's called sumo squats. Doing those with a jump inbetween is a good extra calorie burn.

woo hoo squats! Count me in! Will send a FR because I can ;)

I hear steel-cut and museli are really great. However, unless it's got horrible processed sugars in it, any oatmeal is fine. My workmate makes steel-cut in her mini rice cooker. That stuff takes FOREVER to cook (which is why I stopped eating it) But it is pretty tasty.

it's WARM from the cow!?!?!??!? Ok. I don't know why that surprised me. Cows are mammals. Mammals are warm. Unless they are a scorned cat. In which case, they are cold. Until you squeeze their ADORABLE little bellies!!!! (Which are warm) No, I don't know the answer :/ maybe check nutritiondata.self.com

It seems like shorties lose sizes faster BUT like everyone says, we're all different! I'm 5'1" and at 180 I was an18 I'm around 130 now and a size 4 Tall girls be DYING to be a size 4 but I still have weights to lose! crazy. Sounds like your sizes and going well.

Hey WTG, I think people freak when a person says low-carb because we all assume you mean NO BREAD, NO RICE, NO SUGAR EVAR!!! And that's just silly. I would never say that I do low-carb, but I certainly don't eat as much carbs as before when I'm trying to lose. I eat stir fry without rice, I make tacos using seaweed instead…

This!! I get discouraged seeing super fit girls atthe gym BUT then I think, "what are THEY doing to get llike that?!?!" I'll totally check them out and their workouts. And keep going! Eventually you'll be smaller or fitter or whatever and you'll feel great. If I see ANYONE doing a kickass workout I look and I am impressed…

all the squats and lunges and jumping. while eating at a deficit. you might not think you want any muscle but you do.

my diary is open. Depending on your cal intake my breakkie and lunch could be snacks! I eat pretty basic and snack mostly before/after workouts and at night

Mine too. And Microwaves changing DNA. I see what they're *trying* to say but... no.

I feel stuck too. I have motivation but I need reassurance. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time!

How much info are you looking for? My diary is public but it doesn't say that I bring my coffee in the shower with me. mmmm coffee............

Hi Derek! My name's Pet Store and I'm a everything-aholic! I've sort of been in your place. At my heaviest I went to the doc and he was like "you're fat. lose weight." But I didn't know how! I'm from the midwest! Eating healthy foods and exercising was like, TABOO or something. Thankfully I'm out West now (sorry, Midwest)…

LOL. we're all mean and awful on here. What sorts of workouts have you been doing? I'm just nosey. Add me if you like! I like to think I'm pretty good with food and logging and I try not to whine too much :P

lmao UNICORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 5' 1.5" What do you consider a small frame? What would we be if we weren't small framed? I used to think I was "big framed" because I was fat, but I've lost like two shoe sizes since then... Anyway - since my largest days I've lost about 40 lbs and quite a lot of pants sizes. I'm…

Change it up the girlie!! download some workout apps and try them out or go on to YouTube and find some videos. Even just some quick 20 minute things! Hell I would Kill some snails to get some days at home!!!! I eat out of boredome too but OMG the thought of that free time to get an extra workout in?!?1 holy cats, I'm…

Hey Mary, Good for you for trying out a Vegan lifystyle. It's nice but you really do need to learn as much about it as possible in order to stay healthy. check out some of the vegan groups on here and some websites to find things you can eat to get the nutrition you need. So yes, you're defo not eating enough. if you get…

Lots of hair spray! And teasing. For the rolls I mean. I usually do my hair that way when I go out. I used to own a lot of vintage style clothes when I was heavier. Love it so much; it's all so beautiful! I'd love to do pin up modeling! A friend of mine even does shhots for fun. Sadly the weight loss left me a big saggy.…

I make stir-fry a lot. A LOT. It's easy and delicious. I usually buy frozen veggies. It's cheap and easy but they usually consist of broccoli, oinion, peppers, green beans, carrot, bean sprouts. Sometimes I add peas and corn squash & zucchini. I found the secret to stiry fry is the seasoning. Otherwise all you're doing is…

Lol. I've heard this before. In total I've lost about 50 lbs too. Mostly what happens is that people ask me what I did and then tell me that THEY are going to try A B , or C - which is usually some ridiculous diet product like Sensa I do get told on occasion to eat this or that and it's usually stuff I already eat or don't…

beer & wine! O - you said to stay hydrated! I drink seltser water/club soda (spelling) and green tea or jasmine tea. I feel like the tea dehydrates me a little but not like coffee or sodas do.

Express is just in Adult sizes, not large. If you're a 2 there, then you're a 2. :) Be proud of your adult size fitting pants!! The juniors sizes are higher numbers. My jeans are 5's and 6's by my adult pants are 4's.

crappy donuts is SO disappointing!! All that sacrafice for a crappy snack. So sad.. I feel your pain girl!!

I quite often want to drink. Damn dirty martinis are just so good! And beer. Precious beautiful beer!!!!!!

which candy bars?? I feel like Snickers still count as a good snack... xD
