Yup I eat clean, no fast food, no soda for 2 years now :) My diet is pretty much good, balanced and high in fiber I take super food supplements too :) thank you I dont focus on abs mainly, I do cardio to burn the fats, I know we cant spot reduce but to lose the belly, a significant lost in bodyfat is needed and it's a…

I dont take rests at all the workouts except the ab workouts those are asskikckers! :( Well for me fitness=losing weight since I have to get rid of around 5-6% bodyfat so to be fit I should be able to lose weight. And my fat accumulates on the stomach area, it's the most dangerous place to be filled with fat and I'm kinda…

I am an occupational therapy student and first thing I'd say is don't be shy about it to your therapist. They can help you just be honest with them, they wont judge you, they have seen worse. I'm not saying that your case is really bad actually it is common :) so dont be shy! anyway for the bingeing problem, restrict your…

Enjoy yourself on a date. Forget about the calories, well be reasonable at least about the type of food,but dont order just a salad. most men said that it's such a turn off for a girl to order just a salad not unless they're vegan or vegetarian. It's just a meal, adjust on the other meals of the day instead :)

Honestly, every single day and it's not good because when I gain a lb let's say from soreness, it affects my motivation totally so I wouldnt say what I'm doing is good :))

It's so hard to be a broke college kid who cant afford a new HRM that actually works haha but thanks for your insight :D I am looking to lose 10lbs so I hope I'd be able to reach my goals with this program

But the feeling I get is the same as I was getting with an hour of Insanity, given that I don't even finish the workouts straight without taking longer breaks lol and I burned around 300 then

When I was in a dating site people always tell me "you're not Asian, you're an Islander why do you put your ethnicity as Asian?" Filipinos are Asian. LOL

Thank you so much! I've been to physiotherapists 3x and they only teach me petty exercises you know like those REALLY simple boring ones like squats and stuff to strengthen the hamstrings but my hamsteings are so much stronger now it's just kinda fragile I guess since there's an i-repairable damage in there :( but yeah…

I messaged you :)

Lin7604 suggested doing Chalean Extreme :) if you like getting into home workouts :) I'll sure try it after my current program. I need to lose around 5-6% fat :/

You made me laugh with the last line haha but yeah we should keep the faith lol the pics and success stories that I read off of this makes me hopeful that people like us who tend to accumulate fat in the stomach area can get rid of it :) It just takes time sadly haha

Thank you so much!! I will just keep on doing my workouts with passion and hope to lose this belly! :heart:

I think it's a waste of calories. You could have eaten something more filling with 180 cals like an open sandwich with turkey bacon and egg or a savory oatmeal. I wouldnt suggest to have it everyday, maybe once a week but not everyday, the sugar content is high. Even if you compare it with coke, which obviously is loaded…

Chocolate malt drink. Like Nesquick. I wanna eat the powder itself lololololol pizza can be healthy! If you make it yourself :)

Thank you so much for the motivating words, like what lebaker310 said maybe the ads about the workout programs I'm taking is the one causing me to have a meltdown haha :)

I'm kinda hesitant about lifting though because I occassionally get patellofemoral syndrome due to a hiking injury 5 years ago that caused me to have a torn ligament. When I did Insanity, all the jumping made it hurt :(

You have a point there, a really good one. Especially the one about programs that show before and after pictures HAHAHA now i realize that maybe that's what's getting into me. Aside from the pms, I was looking at the ad results pics lol! I admit that I actually thought I'd get instant abs with Insanity, that's why I wasnt…

Thank you for the kind words! I try to hang in there and be patiemt :) instant long lasting results are impossible :) and your profile pic keeps me inspired too! You look great!

Carrots, onions, garlic and leeks, you can make a veggie stock. Then take 1/4 cup rice, sautee it in 1tsp olive oil with onions and garlic, gradually add the veggie stock as you constantly stir (tldr: make a risotto out of the rice and stock) roast the cauliflower and brocolli to top the risotto :) this makes 1 serving.…

I was initially superproud of my weightloss but now when I look at the mirror I always nearly cry because it seems hopeless lol idk if it's PMS but it's been happening a lot

I agree with ladynocturne and guro princess

You look great to me honestly. Almost no belly fat left and toned. I have a long way to go :) but I will keep that in mind to not go too strict, I have completely eliminated carbonated drinks though in my diet and I dont crave them anymore, as well as mcdonalds HAHA

Okay I'm even more motivated now thank you for that lin7604 you are so nice :) and you look great! THERE IS HOPE!!!

I try to keep that in mind but whenever I see my limbs shrinking it makes me think that I have a health condition or something :(

Don't you think it's a little too kuch for fluids though? There is almost 30lbs difference, water retention only weighs as much as 3lbs. :sad:

It's not about the fat, it's about your calorie intake. You may think that you can eat whatever you want as long as it's low fat because you're working out but that's not the case, everything you put in your body counts. Aren't you logging in your MFP diary?

One word, SPIRULINA :) google it, it's kinda like an algae if I remember it correctly, but it has tons of protein in it.

I was like that too but then I tried looking at my naked self in the mirror everytime after weighing, every morning when I wake up, before meals too lol. I look at my disappointing stubborn belly fat from hell, then I get right back on track again feeling as fat as I did before every pound I lost -_____- though I feel sad…

Yeah it kinda made me feel sad for a bit I'll try to measure and weigh less lol I'm so paranoid about my belly fat problem that I had to constantly check on it :(
