Just sent you a request. Anyone else feel free to add me!

Missjoci@gmail.com Count me in!

Cutting out gluten is tough, but a lot of people are sensitive to it. I feel amazing when I don't eat gluten. Less water weight, less tummy fat, less headaches, and more energy. I feel really good when I eat less carbs. I usually have more energy with lower or healthier carbs. Currently trying to cut some of those out!

Happy...and like going on a road trip. :happy:

When I'm feeling frustrated with my body, I look at all the things I love about myself. As far as hating your body, losing weight won't make you love your body. You need to love it at every stage of the journey. Now, as far as weight loss: what have you tried so far to lose weight? Most people say you should get anywhere…

I need motivation, I think this will be perfect. I'd love to join. :)

I need some more motivation. I've gained back all the pounds I lost previously. Currently 13 lbs heavy and 5-6% higher body fat than a year ago. I'm ready to start cracking down hard on my diet and exercise. I too have many digestive issues (food allergies). My food diary therefore is missing many of the normal key…

Age: 26 Ht: 5'5 SW: 148 lbs @ 21-23% BF CW: 127 lbs @ 15-16% BF Immediate Goal: 122 lbs @ 14-15% BF Ultimate Goal Weight: 115-117 lbs @ 11-12% BF** Just trying to keep tightening up the muscles and getting stronger, so if I never get to 120lbs I won't cry about it!

Eyes...you're gorgeous :)

You guys are rock stars. I love reading other peoples goals! That reminds me. Next year I will run the 10k Warrior Dash and at least 4 other races 5-10ks during the summer!

Hahaha yes, exactly!

I have trouble with sinuses and asthma when exercising pretty bad. I find the longer you train, the less of a problem it is, but I also have to take caffeine supplements, nasal decongestants, and allergy pills to deal with mine. I don't want to promote that, as I have no idea what is wrong with your sinuses, but it may…

Definitely a difference!

His smile :)

1200 isn't often enough starting out. Try making healthier choices and eating until you feel satisfied. Plus, if you exercise you get to eat back those calories! :) Everyone has a different metabolic rate, therefore some people need more than 1200 calories to keep moving throughout the day. I wouldn't worry so much about…

Not crazy! Sounds like you're motivated. I bet you'll do awesome!

*starts dancing* :wink:

Science and sci-fi nerd alert! No shame here. ;)

.

I drink 8-14 cups (about 80-120 ounces) of water a day. Sometimes I drink 3-5 cups (16-32 oz) of coffee too, so I try to make up for the dehydration of caffeine with higher water intake. I also count any light colored teas toward my water.

You look incredible! Such an inspiration!!! :D Keep up the great work, gorgeous!

Love love love this. I'm up for the challenge!

You can do anything you set your mind to! The weight doesn't always come off quickly. I've heard from a lot of people (and this was true for me to): the first chunk of weight comes off quickly, but as you get closer to your goal it comes off slower and slower. Instead of focusing on the scale, focusing on measurements and…

When I start having any issues with my wrists I just push myself to do biking or running. Anything you can do is better than nothing! As far as getting your mojo back...I start looking at progress pics of myself or those of others. Just being able to see how far you've come verses where you were before may be a great…
