I also didn't really cut anything out of my diet - except soda. I dropped that bad habit first, then started making healthier choices, and really paying attention to portion sizes. I knew that if I made any food "off limits" I would cave and binge, so I just stuck with a serving of what I wanted, and made sure to have the…

I've never gotten hit on. Anywhere. Maybe I look like a huge *****? I don't know. All I get is creepy foreign dudes staring at me from their cars. No guy - ever - has come up and talked to me. Weird, lol. But I'm sure my bf doesn't mind.

My biggest pet peeve at the gym is when the guys on the weight floor spend more time checking themselves out/flexing in the mirror than they do actually working out. It's like, "nice biceps, bro - maybe they would be bigger if you actually worked them out, instead of just staring and willing them to get bigger." LOL, I've…

I have been wondering the same thing. Not to say that I don't get looked at, I do notice that guys look at me. But I look at people walking around/in restaurants/wherever, too, so just looking doesn't really mean anything. No guy, ever, has come up and said hi, or offered to buy me a drink, or stuck up a conversation. Not…

First of all, please relax. You are human. And sometimes human crave more food than our MFP allowance gives us, lol. Take a walk, and drink lots of water. And try not to binge out often. I have a problem with it, so I've been stuck lately. But really, one bad day/night isn't going to totally de-rail you, unless you let it…

This.

My style definitely has changed, and I think it's a mix of having lost weight as well as living in a new city and finding that the style here is very different than in Michigan, lol. I love pencil skirts, now. Actually, skirts in general, lol. I used to be scared that a pencil skirt would be too form fitting and show off…

Stop being discouraged! And also stop thinking that weight loss is going to happen quickly. If you do it right, it's going to be a very slow process. And that's what you should want! Just stick with eating better and exercising more, and you will see results. You just have to be patient. Personally, it's been just about a…

212 was my first official weight in, a little over a year ago. Now I am hovering i the low-mid 160s. Would love to get to 150!

I don't have a picture, but I think Christina Hendricks is gorgeous! She makes me feel ok about being a super pale curvy redhead!

HOW DID I FORGET TO PUT ANY/ALL OF MY ZUMBA SONGS!!!!!!! Instructor fail, lol. So yeah, yes to all of these, too!!!

I've been LOVING Alexandra Stan's "Mr. Saxobeat" lately. Can't seem to get it out of my head! Also: 3Oh!3 - Touchin' on My (or anything else by 3Oh!3 b/c they are hilarious) Dev - In the Dark and Bass Down Low T-Pain - Booty Work LMFAO - anything really David Guetta - anything (he's got some great collaborations with tons…

You look super amazing!!!! Even for being above your "goal weight" you look strong and healthy, which (in my opinion) is way better than just being skinny. I'm also stuck at 20 pound bicep curls. I'm kind of scared to move up, actually, lol. But I have seen 22.5 pound weights at my gym, I think they keep them stored…

I agree with the person who advised you to give it right back to your neighbours about their own noise. If they can scream at each other all night, you can dance in your apartment. But also check your lease to find the "quiet hours," so you don't get a call from your landlord because they complained. As long as you are…

CJ = law student (with a Zumba instructor audition tomorrow!!) DJ = professional organizer Weird, I know.

A Burberry purse. My original reward was to get licensed to teach Zumba, and I got REALLY close to my goal (lost 55 pounds), but didn't reach it by the time of the training. Then I slacked off and maintained (then gained few back) this past semester. Now I am back on track and having something to work towards!
-
I totally hate it. And I also hate when guys tell me that they are more attracted to "big girls" or "thick girls" or whatever other way they try to make it sound better than "fat."
-
My friend told me we were going to Las Vegas for her bachelorette party. I didn't want to be the "fat girl" in the group, because I knew all of the other girls who were going are super skinny and gorgeous. So I decided that was the kick in the *kitten* I needed, so I could go and have fun, and not have to worry about being…

I think I got to 75 the first time I did it. Last night I did 100, in two chunks of 25, then one of 50. I'm going to try for 150 today!
-
I added two diced tomatos to my pasta "sauce" for dinner, does that count since the fruit v. veggie thing is so controversial? lol But for good measure, I'll have an apple when I get into snack mood before bed!
-
I'm getting myself a Burberry purse, from the store front (not eBay) on M Street and Connecticut Ave!!! That's after 15 pounds lost and about $800 saved, lol.
-
I do it every time I have some in the house. So I don't buy them, unless I'm having a raging hardcore craving. Then I go to town. And then I drink lots of water and go to town at the gym the next day, lol. Don't stress over it, though, cravings happen. And whoever has the willpower to resist every single craving needs to…

Oh girl, thank you for this challenge. I am making a list of my "crap that I hate doing" now, so I can just get it over with, lol.

Some ideas I have seen: Manicure/pedicure Massage That new haircut/colour you have been wanting Pair of shoes etc. It can be whatever you want, really. Something that you know you will enjoy working towards. For me, I have been struggling with the last 10 pounds (which have now turned back into the last 15, thanks for…

Don't give up, and quit making excuses. If you really want it, then you will "find the time" to add exercise, and keep control over your diet. Weight loss doesn't happen overnight. I have been stuck in a plateau for FOUR MONTHS. It's law school final exam time, so I am super stressed and eating like crap, but I am still…

Shannon, My advice would be to stop worrying about the numbers (on the scale, calories, sizes, etc), and instead just focus on eating healthy. Once you have a good diet worked out, one with nutritious and filling foods (and the occassional indulgence), then start adding exercise, and the weight will come off naturally.…

LOL @ later does not mean the car ride home. Funny because I've done it before, haha Will do my best, but having a friend's birthday dinner! So b'fast, lunch, and snacks will all be from home!

Successful Meatless Monday here! I usually only eat meat for dinner, so that was the biggest challenge. But I made a really great meal (with the help of Pinterest!), that was delicious. Baked lemon pepper tilapia Broccoli with a bit of olive oil and garlic pepper Baked sliced sweet potato (from Pinterest, it was awesome!!)

Hey there! I completed today's challenge, yay! I added 5 extra minutes to my elliptical time, before I headed down to the weight floor to do some circuit training. =)
