I'm really excited to answer this question because I think I have a solution.... have you heard of the C25K (Couch to 5km) Program? It's an app for your phone that trains you (using intervals of walking or running) to go from a couch potato to running 5km straight in a matter of weeks! All you have to do is go for a run 3…

I can really empathise with this! I have some other "curvy" friends who feel more comfortable in their own skin if we all kind of stay bigger together haha so they kind of do the whole "don't deprive yourself" routine. Then there's people who are already thin, people like my sister, who someone feel like their own beauty…

I'm so jealous of all you girls blessed in the bust! I don't know if there really is anything you can do as I understood that breast size was kind of predetermined... Though they are mostly fat so I have heard some people suggest that with an incredibly low body fat % you will see boob loss :) I, on the other hand, am…

Well just by looking at the math it seems completely doable! That's how much I'm hoping to lose so I hope it's possible! haha And while it's true that people look for the "best looking" trainers, personally, I would hire someone who had been through a weight loss journey over someone who had been thin their entire life. :)…

Bump for later :)

I am shamelessly superficially motivated hahaha here are just a few of my reasons: - skinny jeans and daisy dukes! I want to be able to pull of skin-tight denim! - bikinis! I live 200m from one of Australia's best beaches and never go because I'm self-conscious. - LOVE. I want the opposite sex (including my ex…

Don't be upset! This happens all the time! I know lots of amazing, stunning girls who are super thin, but sometimes they just get caught at the wrong angle or mid-laugh or with a scrunched up face. Everyone is capable of a bad photo! I think it was rude of her to put it up, but people do that to me all the time! I just…

"Yolo"

Maybe compliment him? E.g. I love your strong arms/biceps/shoudlers etc. and maybe then he'll be like "likes my arms, aye?" and start trying to make them even better! I've seen it happen before. Or something like, I just love being with someone when I workout, but you're my favourite person to spend time with. Keep me…

Hips! 18 with stretch marks is severely depressing :brokenheart:

Yep. This is the one! He was a personal trainer who gained a lot of weight in 6 months or so, and then lost it all in 6 months. Before this process, he lacked empathy for his clients. However, he was exceptionally fit already, so getting back to that state was a lot easier for him than for someone who has been unfit their…

Count me in! I've always wanted to be a runner and can't wait to start C210K in July :) If I'm feeling super keen I'm going to run more than three times a week as well! hahaha

One of my all time favourite before and after threads! You look AMAZING you should be so proud of yourself. And it's so wonderful that you and your wife have embarked on this journey together. You blow me away. Such an inspiration. :flowerforyou:

Nothing! I still eat everything I used to in moderation, and don't deprive myself of anything :) I do kind of miss eating "carefree" though... when I would just eat and eat without thinking twice, and could have multiple treats within one day. That kind of "free" eating style will be missed. But if you always do what…

AMEN. Sometimes, I want to break down and cry in a dressing room. Sometimes I convince myself that it'd be better if people wore sheets or something instead, because clothes are just too much work. But you know what? Cute things come in every size. A specific cute dress may not come in your size, but I'm sure you can find…

Edward Cullen is a vampire, so that's not really "people"...right? :blushing: Not some little teeny-bopper Twi-hard I swear guys! hahaha

Why not try and commit to a habit of drinking a full glass of water before every meal? You'll get your water in you, savour your meal more, and feel more satisfied :)

Congratulations! That must be an amazing feeling :)

Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to come out looking like a stunner as a big "**** YOU" to my ex-bf whom I'm still tragically in love with hahah

Love it all! Except for that one little bit^ hahaha All my life it's been "well...you have a an amazing *insert non-physical trait here*" You know what? I do have an amazing personality. But I'm also just as gorgeous as any other girl in the world. You can be both. We are all different, but we are all gorgeous inside and…

Omg I have a million! Hahaha Write a novel, travel the world, walk the Great Wall of China, climb a mountain, experience this, see that, blah blah blah And it's kinda sad...but in many ways, my biggest dream is to fall tragically in love with the perfect person :blushing: hahaha Love is the greatest adventure of all?

Congratulations!!!! You're gorgeous!

Holy moly that's amazing!!! Congratulations! You're such an inspiration! Anything is possible! Let's do this guys! Make sure we all take some great before photos?? :)

So what's going on with this group?? Do we just post in this thread? :)

Agreed. I honestly just don't think breast implants would be right for me, personally. Although I love how they could look... :) So yes! Health comes first. And if need be, I'll just go all out on the chicken fillets and water bras :wink:

Off to do some pectoral exercises I go! :wink:

Admittedly this is my favourite comment! hahaha so thanks :) I guess that's a good way to look at it... heathy all the way! It's also good to hear that some girls didn't lose anything... but more importantly, no one regrets a thing and that's wonderful :)

I'm sorry someone got hurt, that's awful! But yes, do watch out because no doubt his list of excuses may pile up... My ex-boyfriend was always late picking me up to go somewhere because he was doing things like watching an episode of his favourite tv show, or some other lame-*kitten* excuse. He was honest, yes, but kinda…

Amazing! You look gorgeous! Mind if I ask how tall you are? :)

Nope. I just think that if they really understood the dedication, skills and motivation required to get someone else fit, shouldn't they be fit themselves? I'd need someone to look up to. Someone who wouldn't get out of breath jogging beside me, who wouldn't just yell from the sidelines but could lead the way.
