I've considered giving up drinking altogether! But unfortunately I lack the willpower haha so kudos to you. It seems id rather kill my self in the gym and watch what I eat than give up my wine

Try not to laugh at whatever face I'm making in the before photo last year. 40lbs lost so far, but still another 25lbs to go! It's crazy how much weight I have lost in my face already; I didn't fully realize the difference until I compared these photos.

Yes, it's possible, but depends on several factors. I myself have done (somewhat) close to it, having lost 40lbs in 4.5 months. As a reference, I'm 5'6", 22 years old, with a starting weight of 195lbs and a current weight of roughly 155lbs. I managed to drop the weight by eating less, tracking EVERYTHING, and exercising at…

Name: Kat Age: 22 Height: 5'6" Start Weight (1st June): 156.0lbs Goal Weight (1st July): 150.0lbs 1st June: 156.0lbs (unless I lose weight by some grand miracle) 8th June: 15th June: 22nd June: 29th June: 1st July:

Before, at 195lbs last July (yes this photo is all around unflattering) After, at 155lbs last weekend. Figured I'd only show the weight loss that I've experienced so far in my face, as my before body shot is waaaaay too embarrassing for me to share as of yet. I'll probably share it once I hit my goal of losing 60lbs.

Reposting since I wasn't sure how to edit my previous post. It's on page 4 of the thread if you are interested.

I think I'm a little late to the party, but here goes: SW: 195 CW: 175.8 GW: 170 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (10/01 Wednesday): 175.8 10/04 Sat: 174.6 10/11 Sat: 10/18 Sat: 10/25 Sat: End of Month (10/31 Friday): Total weight lost in October: 1.2lbs

I'm a calorie counter, and I don't believe in depriving myself of anything. That said, I'm also living on the world's smallest food budget (broke *kitten* college student here), so I tend to eat like crap most days. In addition to calorie counting, I also try to watch my protein macro, and I run a lot // waitress daily //…

I do, and did, in fact, today. I have a nasty respiratory infection and exercise is the only thing that really clears my head. Only do it if you are not contagious though, ie. check to make sure you do not have a fever and even if you don't, be sure to excessively wipe down machinery after your workout.

Hi Izzy! Welcome to MFP :) My name is Kat and I'm a junior in college, so I totally understand how hard it is to eat healthy while studying at the same time. Best of luck on your journey!

Hi Celeste! Welcome to MFP :) I'm 21 and a student as well, so feel free to send me a friend request!

Not sure what his rules are specifically, but here's what I know about lifting for women: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2013/09/11/7-strength-training-myths-every-woman-should-know/ From a quick google search it sounds like the author touts women lifting heavy weights. Bingo! This is what you should be doing, as a woman.…

There's this thing called steroid/hormone abuse -- that's what these "gals" were doing. Theoretically, higher reps of a low weight will build "bulky muscles" or whatever women are so scared of. Low reps of HIGH weights will tone. If you are curious about the science behind this, check this article out:…

Hi there! Feel free to add me as a friend, as I completely understand how hard it is to maintain your weight when studying. I gained a lot of weight during my sophomore year of college, and I'm trying to lose it now as a junior. My stats are pretty similar, as I'm 5'7" and 177lbs. Anyways welcome and good luck! :)

Emotional hunger can be treated with intensive exercise. It sounds counterintuitive, but the harder you push your body in a workout, the fewer emotional cravings you will have for food. And by "workout" I don't mean walking on an incline for 15 minutes at the gym, I'm talking about intense, get your heart pumping to at…

just to echo what everyone else has already said: just do it! I started by using the C25k plan, and because of how it is structured I'm really starting to enjoy running again. I definitely recommend it. also, when you are just starting out running, don't try to think of how much you are doing mileage wise, instead view it…

hahaha this is actually spot on and drama club for you!

You need to increase your exercise. Start some strength training -- free weights, NOT the machines, they are just a waste of time. With any luck this increase in exercise will help curb your desire to binge, since binging is often emotionally linked, and exercise = endorphin boost = happy brain. You may not think you are…
