I'm 20 and this is like exactly my story. I don't know if it is good, or bad, or whatever... But it is working for me so far. I eat the occasional healthy meal when someone else makes it... I'm a rubbish cook. Lol. Good luck to you :)

120?

I feel bad for you and I wish you didn't feel that way :( I'm sure you look great. I feel the same way! I feel like everyone I know could tell me I'm beautiful and I would still look in the mirror and see a fat monster. I try my best not to think negative thoughts! I'm sure your journey is working and you will start to see…

My secret motivation is my boyfriends sister! I went to Florida with their family and she and her best friend were so skinny and pretty! She's a size 2/4 and thinking about her keeps me going! Also, my best friend and I have a wager. I beat her to the first 10 pounds, so now we are doing another 10! I really want to be…

I am most definitely eating at a deficit. Some days I feel like I hardly eat anything (that might just be because I'm a fat kid), and I KNOW what I eat, I just log a little extra just in case. I'm not estimating! I will get a food scale. I'm just not exactly sure what a food scale is or how it works, and how I'd use it…

I have been since Dec 27. I've lost 12 pounds. Which I'm happy with! I just don't want it to turn and go the other way now :( I would get a food scale if I actually cooked ever. Almost everything I eat is packaged (which I'm working on) or I measure it in a cup.

I MISS PIZZA.

I am in LOVE with them. Shame they are breaking up this year, they changed my life. :( def going to the farewell tour! I love listening to them while running. They inspire me.

I'm so happy for her and proud for changing her life! But I have to ask, she looks like she was going hard in the gym. How did she lose only 18 pounds in 100 days? I feel like going that hard she should have lost more!

If you listen to one song, just one, PLEASE listen to Dead American by Anberlin. After you fall in love with that, which you will, try The Resistance and Someone Anyone by them. They are my favorite band ever, and they ROCK for work outs... And all other times of the day. :):)

Thank you ladies. Good luck to you all! Yes, I do strength training and cardio both 6-7 days a week.

I'm so sorry you were sick. :( I hope you are better! Hmm.. I've never measured my rib cage. And haven't measured my hips in a while either. Maybe I will. :) except everytime after I measure I feel like a giant monster and feel horrible the rest of the day. /: haha

I'm glad you feel that way! And that all you want is a good fit. I just want to fit well into a size 4. :( I want what I want and I can't help it /: I just wanna know if it's even possible with my frame. I don't agree that it's an excuse.. I mean it is if you say "I'm not gonna work out because I'm big framed and I'll look…

I'm inspired by how comfortable you are with this! I really want to know what my frame size is. My wrist and elbow say "medium"... But what does that really mean? Can I ever be a size 2? Size 4? It's so confusing. I'm sorry I'm ranting.. I've just been thinking about it a lot. :/

Thanks for all of the inspiring answers! I wish the best for everyone. :)

That's kind of rude. I am only a sophomore, I'm still finishing my basics /: but thanks anyway I guess.

I also take Zoloft and have gained weight. I recently stopped taking it because it was making me very Ill in the middle of the night. I find that replacing it with exercise has helped slightly with the withdrawal.

Okay I have a problem with food I get it. But I suck at cooking, I hate fish.. And most meat to be honest.. And I am in college and pretty broke. I try to look up recipes... But I pretty much consider it a win that I don't go to whataburger or have pizza and beer every night with my friends. I'm doing my best! It's a slow…

What do you mean it doesn't work out the way you like?

I made my diary public. You all can see everything. Chocolates not the worst I guess, I am. :( I ate too much!

Neuroscience student here, add me! :)

You've already gotten great advice. I'm also 20 years old and in college! However dorms have a mini kitchen and my apartment has a full size kitchen in it. When I ate at the dining hall freshman year, I would just estimate calories, and be aware not to eat bad stuff. I stuck mostly to salad, grilled chicken, deli counter,…

Thank you, all. I'm trying to lose, so I eat at a deficit. I just asked about gain bc someone I know said he's trying to gain so he's adding chia seeds. Just wanted to make sure! Wow! These things are power packed with nutrients apparently! I just ate them in Greek yogurt and they don't taste like anything!! :)

Hmm.. Pizza, green bean casserole, and ice cream. The greenbean casserole is the most important though. What is the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you in a gym?

Let me add 2 things: They are suuuuper expensive. So keep that in mind. Also, I don't take capsules, I take the chewables. I love them even more, bc now that I'm dieting, they taste like sweet fruit snacks. A little treat!

I take juice plus to boost my awful immune system. My whole family does, after my aunt used it throughout her chemotherapy and it made her feel tons better. She believes in it so much that she became a rep. I love it, idk what it has to do with weight loss but I've gotten sick way less since I've been taking them. I love…

You've gotta get some birthday cake vodka!!! It's your birthday!! :) happy birthday!

Pretty lady!

As a college student, my sleep schedule, along with my work and class schedule, stays pretty consistent on week nights, 6-7 hours every night. On the weekends, well... I usually get more sleep, 9-11 hours, but lots of times I stay out and party until 5 am, with light beer and fruit if course... and sleep til like 2 or 3…
