I'm also an hourglass. It's frustrating for me. I will lost no "boob" fat at all. I may go down a band size, but the cup size always stays the same. My waist shrinks pretty fast, but my hips like to stay the same for a long time, then randomly go down all at once. Currently I'm 42-33-41.5. Sometimes when I start losing…

Hi, my name is Megan. Currently I work in retail and go to college part time. When I was going to college full time, I gained about 50 pounds my first year. At my heaviest I was around 210 pounds and when I found that out I couldn't believe it. I have been a "yo-yo dieter" since then. Last year I lost almost 30 pounds when…

Too bad there isn't a "like" option on this site. I definitely agree with you!

I haven't tried any of the challenges yet... but this one sounds fun :D I'll give it a try!

The scale makes me angry most of the time. Yet still I get on it multiple times a day just out of habit. I've only lost 3 pounds but am a pants size smaller. To me that doesn't make any sense, but I guess the best thing to do is take a look in the mirror and SEE that you're looking smaller. And then look at the difference…

I also felt like I woke up one day and I had gained 20 pounds in college. It was so weird. What made me notice is that it started getting difficult to walk across campus to class, I'd actually get out of breath! Also my clothes started looking weird. I felt embarrassed because I could not figure out when it happened, and…

Yeah that's the attitude I have now with any gym. I do prefer in home workouts though just because my work schedule is evil retail scheduling. I've been working on Insanity. Unfortunately I fell off of a horse last weekend and have bruised ribs and a messed up shoulder... but I'm going to try and get back into it, just…

Do you have a gym at your college? My college had a really nice two story gym that was included in tuition, I just didn't take advantage of it when I had the chance... and it was literally right across from my dorm room. It was just getting the motivation and energy to do it. I regret partying so much my first two years at…

For me I found that a kind of competition on losing weight helped me a lot because I'm competitive with almost everything. Most of the girls in my sorority house had a weight problem and we decided to play "biggest loser" that summer. Every week we had to put a dollar in a jar and at the end of the summer whoever had lost…

I don't think it was the stress of college that caused me to gain weight.... I think it was the drinking and pledging a sorority and just generally living that lifestyle. My freshman year I started drinking (never had before) and didn't realize that I would get intense fried food cravings. There were nights I would pretty…

I also have hit some plateaus, but the fact that I feel better everyday keeps me going. :)

I also have 50 pounds to lose. I made it through the first week and some of Insanity, but just listened to my body (I only stopped because I have bruised ribs :( ). If I was really out of breath, I stopped and drank some water. I went into it very out of shape, but everyday I felt like I was getting better. Like others…
