I'd love to be friends! I have been vegetarian now for the past 3 years, and I was vegan for 2. After a doctor's visit when I learned I had a severe protein deficiency, I had to start easing eggs and dairy back into my diet, so now I'm only vegetarian.

Age: 13 Height: 5'4 SW: 159 (*cringe*) CW: 157 (equally as bad) GW: 110 UGW: 90 (at least)

Oh, I'm sorry! It's great that you've lost that much weight though, I'm sure you look fabulous! For me it was the exact opposite. I've always appeared way thinner than my weight would have you believe (I'm pretty lucky, I guess!), so I dropped clothing sizes like crazy, even if the weight wasn't coming off as easily. I can…

Oh, I feel bad. I haven't had nearly as much as I should- 4 cups, and only 32 ounces. Yikes.

I saw the most weight lost at first in my face. It just seemed a lot thinner. I also noticed it in my tummy and thighs, pretty quickly.

That's amazing! You look fantastic. Keep on shocking those blue-haired ladies!

Seriously? Only 6 weeks?! You look fantastic! I guess if I had to estimate your weight without knowing your height, I'd guess around 125-130.

Honestly, I get all my workouts (structured ones, that is) from On Demand. They have a decent selection, so I can do something different every day if I want.

I did my first 10k this past March, and it was the best experience ever! It was so much fun, and having everyone cheering you on was so encouraging. I managed to finish in 53 minutes, but I did a good bit of training before hand. I definitely could have done better though, and I'm currently training for a 5k in July.

Swimming is really easy on your joints, so if you could get to a pool to do some laps that would be great. Or, you could focus on building your upper body with strength workouts while you recover. Whatever works for you. But do give yourself enough time to rest, you wouldn't want to cause further injury!

I don't think there's an ideal time to do cardio. I do know that your metabolism is highest between 7-9am, because I asked my doctor last time. So in theory, if you do cardio then it will up the metabolism further and would burn more calories throughout the day.

Honestly, I probably do at least 500 crunches everyday, simply because they're easy and I feel like they really work for me. But I kind of carry my weight evenly throughout my body, so I'm not sure of the effect they would have on you. If you don't want to risk it, do cardio along with crunches. Then you'll be burning off…

Honestly, I hate them. I know some people think they're really good, but they've always seemed like mutant raisins to me. My mom likes them with cream cheese though, so you could try that.

I record everything. Fruits and vegetables have calories, too!

You don't need to eat a huge amount, but be sure to stay hydrated and eat throughout the day if you start feeling light-headed. Pack a sports drink (Gotta get those electrolytes!), and a granola bar to eat between cheers if you think there will be enough time. As for breakfast, don't eat too much or you'll feel bloated and…

That's great! You're doing so good, keep it up!!

You're so beautiful! You look so much more confident in the 'after' pictures. (I'm mentally high-fiving you through the internet) Good luck on your big day!!

Wow, congrats!! You really look fabulous, and that's such a big fitness level increase! Amazing!

One cool bey-otch!

False! I can't stand the heat. TNP has a spray tan.

How'd you know!?

Dental Hygenist. I have no idea why.

Hair- so effortlessly pretty. I hope someone compliments my fur.

Ya, pretty much. For all my profile pics (anywhere) I use animals or something that isn't me.

I feel like there are healthy options everywhere, and you just need to pick what's best. Whenever we go to McDonalds (which is extremely rare) I try and choose something that isn't horrible. I normally order the small fries and a fruit and yogurt parfait.

Date- you seem like you'd be really funny. Considering that my profile pic is a dog, I guess I should say that I'm a girl. :tongue:

Someone who seems really superficial but is actually sweet when you get to know them.

Ok, so I'm 5'4. My heaviest was 154 pounds (!!!), and my lightest was 87 pounds. Right now I'm in between the two (but closer to the heavier one) and I hope to get down to 90 pounds by October. I can hope.

I wish I could lose an Irish Settler. 0_0 I've only lost the average newborn.
