It's taken me since February to get down 30 lbs. It's been a really slow road for me. I lost 12 lbs the first 4 months( SO SLOW) then another 12 over the summer 3 months, and since the end of august I've only lost 5.. It's probably because I'm really short, and it's going to be really hard to lose these last 10 lbs

In february when I told my family I planned to lose 40 lbs, they all FREAKED and said that was way too much and lalala one aunt even thought I only weighed 125 when I was actually 165! I said that at the moment my goal was 40 lbs and I'll decide ultimately when I got closer. I've lost 29.8 lbs and am still aiming for that…

Weighed in at 137.6 this morning! 10.6 lbs to go until goal! This week I seriously upped my cardio, but have been trouble eating all my exercise calories. I also upped my intake from 1200 to 1300 last week and I think the extra calories are hopefully bumping my metabolism up. This weekend is homecoming/halloween so I have…

Only 5 lbs in the last 2 months:( I wanted to be down to 135 by Halloween but I'm still hovering around 138 :( 11 lbs to go until goal and they DO NOT want to come off

kettlebell would probably be circuit training and what do you do in BL cardio?

thanks so much guys! I need money to buy an HRM

I am 20 years old so I wear misses and juniors clothing. I'm not sure what I am in misses now but when I was a juniors size 11 I was a misses size 6(they were pretty tight though i would probably have done better in an 8). I am now a junior size 7 so I'm probably a misses 4 because there is a bigger size difference between…

Welp, it looks like I'm not going to reach my halloween goal:( I was aiming for 135 by Halloween but I'm still hovering around 138:(

I was a 30.1 BMI so just in the obese range. I wanted a BMI pretty much in the middle of a healthy range for me. I know I might not be able to get down that low because my body shape(I have huge boobs and a butt) but I just want to go from a dress size 12 (pant size 11) to a dress size 6( pant size 3 or 5) :D I'm a pant…

shadow boxing. you'll sweat so much. It'll really get your heart rate up. maybe add 1-2 lb hand weights it's really good cardio

I'm sure it will start kicking in soon:D

Try switching it around. Breakfast should be AT LEAST 350. The bigger the breakfast the less hungry you are through out the day. Lunch around 400, depending how big the breakfast, dinner 400-450. This should help keep you fuller through out the day and if you're exercising, you can eat those calories so you don't have to…

The first thing I notice is that you're way over your sodium most days and not eating eating enough. Make sure you're drinking enough water as well because your body is likely soaking up all the water due to how much sodium you take in and that's why the scale isn't moving

I do spinning and zumba each 3 times a week, on off days I lift and run:D

run run run! Or do the elliptical. Sprints!

I recently upped my calories from 1200 to 1400 and gained about a lb, then lost it again. Everyone's saying the lbs will start coming off faster soon and to give it 3 weeks. I'm also trying to add more running into my routine at the gym:D

This is perfect, I have 10-12 lbs more to lose and they're being SO stubborn

Thank you! I'm at the highest healthy BMI possible for my height so I'd like to lower it a bit, and my tummy is still a little pudgy, so maybe I'll stop around 130:D

my ex boyfriend weighed 3 lbs more than me at my highest weight.. he's 6'3" it made me feel like ****. But my boyfriend now only weighs 10 lbs more than me now, after losing nearly 30 lbs. He's only 5'10" but still

thank you so much:D

I hope so, the pounds are starting to not wanna come off!

2.2 lbs=1 kg

We have almost the same SW and GW, I've lost 30 lbs already so I'll share my workouts with you:D So when I first started going to the gym, I basically did the elliptical every day for an hour burning around 700-800 calories. It depends what model of elliptical your gym has but the cybex ones automatically set you at level…

what kind of elliptical are you using? I burn about 12-13 calories a minute on average on the elliptical, the slowest being like 10 calories a minute if I'm really taking it easy, your machine must be really off

Going over on anything means it can be stored as fat because your body doesn't need it at the moment. As long as you're not going over your calories per day, your body is going to use up every bit of energy(fat, carbs, protein) you put into your body. As soon as you go over more calories than you burn, that's when your…

thanks guys! :D

Whatever glucose(sugars and carbs) you have consumed that your body doesn't need gets converted into glycogen and stored in the liver for later use, but if there is too much it can get stored as fat. It is a form of energy. Your body needs sugars and carbs to run.
