This is motivating! :D My starting weight Sunday May 8th = 183.2 My weight on Saturday May 14th = Your total weight lost for this week =

Oh yeah I remember watching a documentary on all of this! All the corn we eat... really adds to so much issues!

I'm in as well! :D

Thanks so much for posting all of this... I got worried that I wouldn't lose weight because some days (especially the ones I don't work out on [I work out 5 days a week and rest for 2 --- weekends]) I can't reach 1,200 calories due to my small appetite... but I feel stuffed and never hungry. So I don't feel like I'm…

Also... how often are you weighing yourself? It shouldn't be more than once a week... and if you've lost a lot of weight in the beginning I suggest looking once every 2 weeks.

Not only your calorie intake, but do you watch your sodium intake as well? There's an option to view sodium in your food diary as well... :) I don't eat that many calories, but when I exercise I try to eat over 1200 calories...cause I don't wanna be super hungry at night or anything like that... D:

YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE YOU LOST SO MUCH MORE THAN 20 POUNDS! OOO: That's so cool and motivating! I love the pictures! Thanks guys! Lol and no problem to the rear shots... I do the same (hide from cameras) D:

You guys have all done so good! Congrats to everyone!!! I love seeing the progress... it's just such a motivator! I was about to go for a swim today! I'm on my 2nd week of eating better n exercising! :D

lol! oh no I meant in general... but DANG YOU LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT :D GRATSSS

That's great! 20 in only 4 weeks! Your working hard! Good luck to the rest of your 8 week journey hun! :D

Danggg... you go girl!

WHOA THATS AMAZING!!! See... I've always been a 12-14 (switches a lot) in juniors... and never been below a 11... that's amazing!!! I can't wait to see results near the end of my journey... it's a long road, but so worth it I bet! :D

Well now your bound to see a ginormous change haha... NICE

I did it for 3 days in a row, and swam for 3 days in a row then have a day to rest (Sunday) and just repeat and mix up :)

Thank you! I actually love swimming... just wish we had a private pool... >_> but I know when I like my body more I'll feel more comfortable swimming in public haha. Well yeah my boyfriend said he'll take me shoe shopping in June. Since I didn't exercise much in these shoes... I figured they'd still be ok, but I guess not.…

YOU LOOK AMAZINGGG!!! And 180 for a woman who's 5'10" is probably a good build for you... I mean in your picture I thought you were gonna say you weighed like 170ish or 180 already! LOL You're a beautiful lady! :D

I decided to swim on my days off :) That way I won't hurt any part of my body and it's a great form of cardio! *o*

It's bad shoes and they are just being overheated. Sooo... I'm going to rest for a while. Any suggestions on what to do cardio wise since I can't run?

I think I want to go out and get new shoes in June (I'm waiting till I get more money... :(). My shoes I've had for about a year... so I'm ready for a new pair... and normal shoes as well. I have some really good socks too... but in June I'm going for new "supplies" lol. :P Thank you for the advice! I'm going to rest... I…

Thank you all for your inputs! Yeah I've just been running...4 days in order? I'm going to spend the next few days on break... my running shoes are 1/2 a size bigger so they can get air when they get heated... that way my toes aren't cramped. And yeah I didn't think it was normal... so I'm going to wait till my blisters…

WHOAAA...seems so fast LOL...seems like he reached the goal like halfway through his video o-o

Today I did something similar to this... I didn't want to exercise cause of this nasty blister on my foot refraining me from running on it... so I decided I'll just walk... but when I turned the corner and challenged myself to run. I didn't get to my destination but it's interesting how the mind works... I have to push…

I think I'll give this a read...

I'm new to weight loss and eating differently and everything too... I can't even tell you! Today I saw a kid with Hot Cheetohs in my class... and I so badly wanted to go buy a bag...and was about to as well... but instead I had some frozen yogurt... maybe not the BEST substitute but much better than those Hot Cheetohs...…

bump bump bump gotta bump this :P!

Thank you everyone for the input thus far... :) The dorm is pretty much an apartment. I'll be attending The Art Institute of Los Angeles... and they have 2 room apartments for 4 students attending the school :) So I'll be supplied with a microwave and stove/oven :D

This is also another recipe I'll be saving... Thank you for the idea! I usually always make big meals like this to last me at least a day or two.

Ooo... I know what I'm getting next time at the store! :bigsmile:

Mmm... this sounds really good actually! (both the salad and toast idea! I'll be sure to use that next time!) Thanks!

Ugh they are expensive! I go to Mexican Markets usually :) super cheap and even better quality!
