Thanks so much for all of your helpful advice! I really appreciate it. :) To clear a few things up:* I drink between 2-3 litres of liquid per day just naturally (water, herbal tea and a bit of black tea). I tend to let my thirst be my guide on this as much as possible. I don't believe drinking water is a weight loss…

5'5" and 28 years old. First time doing low carb/keto ever. I started on Monday after being stuck on a plateau for the past 2 months. Heaviest recorded weight: 186.6 (Feb 2016) Plateau weight: 179 (Sept 9 - Nov 13, 2017: 1lbs away from obese BMI = scary) CW: 178 (Nov 15, 2017) I've broken through! GW#1: 149 (healthy BMI…

5'5" SW: 186.6 CW: 176 1st GW: 149 UGW: 130 I've been really struggling all summer with losing and gaining the same 5 lbs. My lowest weight since I started all of this was 172, but I seem to be holding steady in the 175-176 range. I hit 175 in May...so this has been going on for awhile. First goal weight will put me at the…

Getting better roles - Playing love interests and more leads! Better dance performance and skills. Wearing clothes with a waistband and opening up my fashion options (I only wear dresses, partially because I'm self-conscious about my middle. I'd love to be able to rock skirt/shirt combos again). Feeling lighter. Lessening…

1. What is my favourite fitness YouTube video? Right now...probably 30 Day Shred, but I don't use youtube for working out much... 2. What is my favourite stretch?

Do I use supplements? Yes. I have to as a vegetarian. I take a multivitamin with iron and B12. I also use whey protein powder just because I find it difficult to get all the protein I need.

You all have been my biggest cheerleaders! You're all so inspiring and motivating. :)

1. What is my must have workout accessory? Earbuds. I love listening to music or watching the giant TV in our gym while I'm working out. It helps keep me distracted. 2. What are my biggest unhealthy weaknesses? * Emotional eating. * Self worth tied a bit too much to the scale. 3. What was the last NEW FOOD I've tried?…

Aside from anything fitness related, what are some of my hobbies? * Ukulele (a mix of terrible Heart covers and 20s/30s jazz) * Dancing (yes, it's fitness, but it's a huge part of my life) * Listening to copious amounts of showtunes (currently obsessed with Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) * Journaling and…

Favourite motivational quote(s)? Not weight loss specific, but just some quotes that have stuck with me. "Honey, your odds go up when you file an application." - Win a Date with Tad Hamilton (Yes, it's a traditional chick flick, but it has really lasted in my mind. Lots of quotable quotes and some hard truths.) "80 percent…

What is my favourite cheat meal? I don't really have a favourite cheat meal, but I have favourite cheat foods. * Poutine * Ice cream * Curries (Indian and Thai)

Tell us about an exercise you have wanted to try. I've always wanted to try a colour run. They look like so much fun! :)

What did I eat today yesterday? Yesterday was terrible. Really terrible. :( Breakfast: Multivitamin, leftover thin crust veggie pizza (bad planning meant I'd run out of my protein bars and berries - this was all I had in the house and there isn't anywhere to grab decent breakfast near my new job. Excuses, I know.) Lunch:…

Tell us something you like about yourself? Physically: This is something that I'm struggling with at the moment... I like my smooth, pale skin and the contrast it creates with my dark eyes and hair. Yeah, that's probably about it... I'm hoping this will improve with time. :) Otherwise: I like my musical and theatrical…

Do you workout with a workout buddy or do you prefer to be on your own? I much prefer to be on my own. I get really self-concious about exercise, to the point that if someone else is in the gym, I'll just go back when it's empty again. The only exercise I like doing around people is dancing.

My favourite workout song? This really changes depending on my mood. Lately I've been listening to Postmodern Jukebox, but the week before that it was The Great Comet and the week before that it was uptempo classical. Really it's more about the tempo of the music, especially if I'm on the treadmill. Something faster with a…

What do I like to do on REST days? Rest days usually mean taking some creative time for myself. Writing songs with my ukulele (or just playing really terrible rock music), drawing or journaling, vocal training, etc. Also, spending some much needed time with my partner and my kitty. Snuggles, tea, books, music, sometimes a…

What is my biggest gym pet peeve? The Voice lady. We have a small gym in our building with a HUGE TV. The thing takes up most of one wall. Every time The Voice is on, down comes this one woman (very tan, blonde, in good shape). It doesn't matter what's on the TV, or who's watching something while working out, she grabs the…
