I'm also a student - feel free to add me! I am going the second time around, so I could use all the help I can get.

Nike Training Club! They have a lot of workouts that are just bodyweight. Or r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine.

The most I've gained over night is 5 pounds, however I will notice a slow creeping gain of roughly a pound or two prior to that. At ten pounds I'd check your scale.

Yeah I was debating walking home (1.5 hours, 3.5 miles) or taking the train (20 minutes, barely any walking) and the servers came back up so I was oike "oh. Its not THAT hot outside."

So I would have reacted the opposite. Anytime my mom mentions my weight, I shut it down. If strangers talk about my weight, I shut them down. My weight is something I have to control - no one else gets input. Especially since oftentimes I was being "shamed" by people when I felt (and was, actually based on any normal test…

If it gets to the point where someone is isolating themselves, I would mention it - but not from a weight standpoint. Honestly, I think by default people end up with weirdness around weight. Most people will take concern about their health as a personal attack. But mental health or social life is something different.…

So the first thing I'd like to say is double check your calorie goals. If your calories are calculated correctly and you are still super hungry maybe try to aim for .5 pounds. After all all that matters is that you lose the weight - if you feel like you're torturing yourself to do it that's not going to happen. Second,…

Me, please and thank you!

Since I'm hopping back on this horse (for the third time -.-) let's see if I can get off to a good start! SW: 205 CW: 194.7 GW: 190 Weigh in dates: Start of the month(03/01 Tuesday): 194.7 03/05 Sat: 03/12 Sat: 03/19 Sat: 03/26 Sat: End of the month(03/31 Thursday): To anyone else who is starting again, or those who are…

Bananas! They're the best. Also try running without eating first - I do that and it seems to work but everybody (and every body) if different so if it makes you ill please don't!

Monday of running a complete, no small thanks to this group! I said I'd do it but my alarm was too soft with the fans on. Good thing I spelt through it on an early day! But rather than giving up on my run I just ran after work. Thanks invisible pressure monkeys!

Oh hey I'm super late but I think I'll join up! My June goals are to... [ ] Run Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday mornings [ ] Start StrongLifts (has to wait until I get my ID card but AS SOON AS I DO) [ ] Buy and USE a water bottle Shouldn't be too hard, right? Haha. Ha.

I ripped the shorts I was wearing in this profile picture. I loved those shorts. But despite the fact that I was slowly creeping up in weight I could still "fit" the same clothes. When they ripped that was the moment of truth lol

I'm restarting today. I managed to shave off thirty pounds in 6 months, but most of that was over the summer. The school year bit me in the butt and I gained ten back. Here's hoping I can lose that and work my way down forty more pounds.

Thank you guys so much! I've copied and pasted your answers into a list just in case haha.

I prefer working out in the mornings. Granted, I'm in college so its nice for me to wake up at 7:30, run, shower, eat and be ready for class at 10. This, opposed to the days when I wake up and stay in bed for like, forty-five minutes on my phone and then grab some tea and sprint to class instead. If I work out in the…

What started me thinking about it was the fact that I was finally comfortable enough with me as "me" that I wasn't losing weight because I felt like someone told me I had to. I knew I was overweight, but I didn't consider myself out of shape, so it was mostly aesthetic. So I kind of messed around, started biking more.…

I used to drink milk a LOT when I was younger (more than water, really) but now that I'm at school I really only drink it with cereal or, occasionally, in tea. However since I figure if I get my milk calories I want to best damn milk ever it tends to be whole milk. I put half and half in my coffee because I can use less of…

I got hit with the stress eating hard this past midterms, because its so much easier to just grad a slice of pizza than sit in line at the deli waiting for a wrap, or to make a salad. And its easier to eat chips constantly while studying that procure and a slice a cucumber. What I ended up realizing was that... a) running…

I used a free HIIT app and put in the running intervals, and then use endomodo (or something similar) to track speed. I just really didn't feel like spending money, and since the times are online I figured why not?

SW: 206 CW: 190 GW: 135...? It's so interesting to see how many people's lowest rememberable healthy weights were in high school. Mine was definitely the same. I was maybe 126 when I was 11 and hadn't started puberty quite yet, and I came in at a juniors size 5 I believe. At the 150s playing competitive volleyball, I was a…

Mine is set to 1800, since my BMR is like 1760~ and I eat back all of my exercise calories. Most days I average out to a net of 2000. Basically because my college so so freaking huge and hilly I know that I am burning way more than what is listed as exercise running back and forth between classes and up and downstairs, so…

On the weekends I just eat less, because I normally have two meals (brunch after practice/sunday brunch and then dinner). So if I don't go out, there's no problem. Weekend nights when I do go out however, which I don't track for personal reasons slash inability to measure, are a whole 'nother can of worms. Basically I know…

This is a two part NSV. I not only did couch to 5k week 5 day 1, I did it without stopping! This compared to five weeks ago when running for 1:30 looked daunting. The second part came after the run. I was being lazy and sitting at my computer when I realized I was gonna be late for my club! So I jumped up, ran down the…

SW: 201 CW: 193.6 Phew! I definitely think this is some of last week's weight coming off now. I switched up techniques (moved to TDEE -20% vs eating back exercise calories) and I don't think it is working too well for me in this college environment. I might switch it back up again on Sunday after reviewing my averages.…

I lost 6.4 pounds in August eating back all of my exercise calories that I was hungry for. Now that I've stopped doing that this week, my weigh in went up. Part of this is because I'm not eating within my calories for the day (okay, yeah, most of it). What I find for me is that days I run or lift, I'm hungrier, and so I…

I was not in a place I could weigh myself on friday, but I weighed myself today (still August!) and I weighed 194.6, leaving me with a grand total of 6.4 pounds lost in August, or about a pound and a half a week. If I keep this up, I should be below 180 by Christmas which sounds so insane to me because I haven't been below…

It's move in and college starting season so I won't hop on this bandwagon, but I wish everyone the best of luck!

Favorites: Deadlift and Squat, probably because I feel the strongest when I do them lol Least favorite: Rows and OHP... because I feel so wiped afterwards!
