I would not order anything online. Just go into a store and buy some. That way you can try them on and make sure they fit, make sure they look good, and you're satisfied with them. Different brands have different sizing, and you never know what you'll be able to fit into at some stores. My suggestion is you avoid buying…

The food scale isn't really something I want for everything--I'm not that obsessive about it. I just want to do it for my meat. I honestly don't know what 4 oz of chicken is or whatever. I don't know what that looks like, and I'd rather be safe in knowing that rather than grossly overestimating and going way over my…

Never ate healthy, really. Lots of fast food, fried foods, no portion control. Sure, we had veggies and fruit, but that's just added calories when you're shoveling a plate full of mashed potatoes and a huge slice of meatloaf in your face. I ate as much as I could as if I were starving, and I paid the price for it. Salad I…

Tank top and panties, usually. In proper company, I'll wear a tank and sweat pants.

When I babysit, I cut strawberries and carrots for the kids. Let them eat pears or apple slices. Maybe peanut butter and celery sticks. The thing is no kid is going to want a salad for dinner. They want french fries and chicken nuggets and ice cream and cookies. Every once in a while that's okay, especially at a…

Nothing is inherently bad. Anything in large amounts can be. Overdoing it on sugar can destroy your liver. Sodium does the same thing. Drinking too much water can be bad for you. Drinking enormous amounts of tea can harm your bones. Just depends on the portion sizes. Keep your sugar intake normal, and you're fine.

Apparently the artificial sweeteners make you crave food and prevent you from feeling full? So when you dump the diet soda, you don't eat as often, thus cutting your calories. I stopped drinking sugary drinks, and it really helped my weight. I just drink water and plain iced tea anymore. :)

Well, I'm not 5 '11 but I'm 5'8 and I know what you're talking about. All these short people lol I sent a request.

Looking for much the same! I'm 19 and trying to get into shape and be healthy and active. It really helps when you have someone to be accountable to, someone who's aware of your progress and can help if there are bumps in the road.

Happy to! I log in every day, as well.

Go ahead and add me. I'm looking for friends, too :)

I don't know if it should bother you. Couples don't agree on everything. If it does bother you, though, try to get her interested. Lead by example. Show her how happy it makes you or tell her. Just don't harp and turn it into something negative or she might start to think you don't like the way she looks. Just be…

Feel free to add me!

Wow, great job. That's wonderful. Feel free to add me. Always helps to have friends about to encourage and support. :)

I sent a request. Would love to be a member of the support network. I know how hard it can be to stay on track sometimes. Helps when there are people around. :)

Maybe if I were ravenous, but 5 slurpees is a lot of sugary crap to put in your body. Portion control is key. I just ignore it. There's no chance I'd go out of my way to dress like a cow for free chicken all day. Your friend isn't going to be losing anything and might end up with diabetes or something at this rate. :ohwell:

You should give it some more time. None of this stuff works instantly. Body transformations are difficult. :flowerforyou:

I drink tea instead. Doesn't make me jittery, though my friend is a fan of the flavored protein powders for her coffee. She likes vanilla and coconut. Maybe try that and see what you prefer.

You can add me! I'm trying to stay on task, too!

Wow, you look brilliant. I also like the blonde hair!

You could add me, as well! I'm trying to get in shape and stay thin, and motivation is not always the easiest thing to come by.

You look good, and you've earned it. Go have a bikini body day!
