Thank you so very much for the motivation. I really appreciate it. Its always nice to hear about the journey others have taken because it helps me remember I am not alone, I went to the website you attached and I think it will be very helpful. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for all of the words of encouragement guys. You are all so kind. I think your right, take it one day at a time and work things in slowly. Its true, change won't happen over night and its unrealistic for me to expect it to. The past is the past and the future is the new me. You all make me smile. Thank you :)

I am totally ready for this: CW: 132 GW: 122 I know the goal weight will be hard to meet because its so low but I will never limit myself!!

I am in the same situation. The worst part is we are consuming all of these extra calories and we are stressed. When were stressed out body releases cortisol which causes us to gain even more weight. The result is pure weight gain. I am unsure of what to do to. I have gained just 14 lbs. this semester (almost 5 months,…

115-120 and toned

they also help with fat loss, when you soak them in water they absorb it and when you drink them they take up more space!!

Wow, your inspiring me :)

Megan Fox :p

Thanks for all of the feedback guys, seriously, I appreciate it a bunch!!! Its nice to hear of a non-biased opinion because his friends and my friends have different views of it.

I am independent, most certainly. In some aspects, I feel like he depends on me for a lot. I am happy with him almost all of the time, a lot of the things he does makes me smile even if they are silly. We talk quite a bit but the problem is he seems to be a brick wall. He has this worry that if he expresses his emotions it…

What you just said helped a lot. It is nice to hear of your opinion from personal experience. The thing is, if I am second guessing it now I am sure I will in the future too.

Yes it does help a lot. That thought has most certainly come across my mind. Another persons insight is nice right now. I think your right though, I think I do know how I feel about it and whats hard is making the adjustments to let go.

I most certainly think this has a lot to do with it and I feel bad because I am not always here and I am a busy person. I am sure my lack of sleep and abundance of homework is kicking my butt lol. Regrouping would be great :)

Poisongirl- a lot of people have suggested that, for us to take a break. I think the hard part about that is he is all I know, literally and the attachment runs deep because he went through a lot of family problems with me as a support person. The other thing is, how to you leave when you live together and your afraid of…

Thanks for the insight. Its not a major dry spell but it comes and goes in phases. I think your right, maybe time away from him will make it better. I think once I get some space he will see what I am feeling but it will allow us to appreciate things more.

I think that my problem is really the amount of time I have now compared to when I originally lost the weight. I feel like its a time consuming thing to exercise but if I don't, i know the outcome. Its such a hard thing to balance. Its all in the belly.

Try a morning star meatless sausage, they also make ham etc. which are not very high in carbs. Do you do the 17 day diet is that why your eating high protein low carb? You can always try to eat seitan which is like a tofu alternative with a meatier texture. There are recipes to make it from scratch too.

I am in on that one. I will go for 270, 6 45 minute workouts :) Starting on September first

I just started today actually, I have been drinking it off and on every few days but not as a meal replacement. I hope to keep it up but its so expensive.

http://www.weight-loss-center.net/body_fat_calculator.html Try this one, it seems pretty accurate for me.

My measurements as of yesterday (5/25) were: Weight: 127 Neck: 13.5 Waist 29.5 Hips 33.5

We should post starting measurements

I am still there, second day but i feel fine. This morning i was a little sore but nothing too bad. I still love it though!!

I am restarting again and actually doing it this time so yes i am still in it with you :)

No, you did not go overboard it was very well said and I think your completely right. Theres no point in changing because you will change who you are for someone who probably does not matter in the first place. The only things that should be changed are ones you, yourself, believe in changing. Thank you.

Thank you guys so much. All of your points are very valid and your right, i have spent a lot of time caring about this kind of stuff when i could be focusing on myself and my life goals. Why care if it does not help you? You guys are the best!!!

Thanks so much guys, I will try to follow all of your advice. Everyone's so supportive of me thanks :)

o_malley thats a fantatsic idea. Also, I know its delayed but I will post some pictures tonight when my room mate is not here haha.

I will as well. I started it but then slowly stopped doing it. Tonight I will start again but I do not have a measuring tape for my measurements. What do you suggest I use? I am 126 right now but its mostly fat and not muscle.

great job
