congratulations on the engagement!! how much weight are you looking to lose? you can add me if you want! goodluck!! =]

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&plgroup=5&docId=1000248111 some of these are expensive. i think my friend had this one:…

maybe you can buy one of those electronic water boilers? it looks like a water jug but it boils the water for you. my friend doesn't have a stove or microwave in her dorm too. that's how she would cook noodles, boil the water and then pour it into a bowl of noodles until the noodles softened. i'm sure you could boil eggs…

prepping is a drag. either you could keep a list of foods you can buy that are healthy when you're in college or you can pick out one day a week, maybe on a sunday, and prep food for the entire week in containers and ziplock bags. that way, you can grab it and run on your way out. it requires some prep but only for one…

Same here dude. I just got back on today after a break of 2-3 months. I'd suggest making sure you interact with people on here as much as possible. That way, when you disappear or someone else disappears, there's some accountability or something that draws you back. Another way is joining a weightloss group on here.…

I've always wondered about people who burn so many calories at once like that. I think spinning classes and maybe Zumba might burn that many calories. I've no idea. The max I've ever burned was 600 calories and that was by speed walking 4 miles for 75 minutes on my treadmill at home. On my home page, I've seen people who…

Everything i've read thus far and from most of my psychology courses, it does seem that stress does indeed play a role in weight loss or that it contributes to weight gain. A lot of it is indirect too like we tend to snack and eat more when we are stressed. We can't always escape being stressed but give yourself a little…

I also want to add that sometimes we overestimate how many calories we have burned as well.

It really is your call about how much of your exercise calories you want to eat back. It does seem that especially when you get closer to your goal weight, it is important to eat those calories back. If you're burning 600-900 calories a day, then your body gets a deficit of calories because what you ate got burnt up. We're…

Hi, I just came across this group from the Ramadan thread. This group seems to have a lot of motivation and I would love to join. Is it possible to join now? Or is it too late?

wow you look great. how did you get down to that and how long did it take? I'm 5'3, starting out at around 126. My weights been fluctuating between 124-127. I can't seem to get out of this range.

21 =] wish it would stay that way =\

if u like green tea or raw tea of any kind, that counts as part of your daily water intake. Also, if you eat a good amount of fruits and vegetables, the water from that is included as well

bingeing on oreos right now :( aaaaah and it sucks because u can't stop even when it stops tasting good :\ i feel gross.

Hi Leanne, I'm about 5'3 and as far as what I know, I don't think 98lbs is a healthy weight to be at. I have a friend who is 5'2 and she's very petite and thin and she's in the 105-110 range. I've had the same issue as well with binge eating disorder. It has improved substantially from before, mainly because I'm broke…

congrats and thanks so much for sharing. it's definitely more inspiring to hear about what you did and how you got to achieving your goals. most of the success stories on here usually just tell us how much someone has lost and a before and after picture. so thanks and goodluck with the last ten pounds! i keep hearing and…

that's absolutely awesome!!! congrats!!!!! =D ugh guys. forget them. if they're so rude as that as to blow something off that was already planned, they honestly are not worth your time. flaky people are never worth it. great job on channeling that anger into something positive though!!! =]

lol that was kind of rude but it gets the point across.

Awesome. This got me to start working out again. Hope it continues! MON –Exercise: Yes- (30min treadmill; 15min resistance training) ~ Under Calories: Yes TUES – Exercise: Y/N? ~ Under Calories: Y/N?

Also, I'm doing a challenge someone posted up recently in another forum. Would anyone be interested in doing it? It's very simple. If anyone wants to join it or if you guys want to do one for us and we can post our progress here. It's a really good one for those of us who aren't consistent. I changed the order of the days…

Quite understandable and the challenge is not at all pathetic. You're right, it is important for us to look over our progress and figure out what we can improve. I usually try to avoid doing that because all my mistakes and cheat days become very glaring. I've been very inconsistent with both eating healthy and working…

totally need this. being consistent is so hard.

wow you look wonderful! keep at it girl!

Metabolism as someone mentioned above is definitely part of it. Also, some people are better at going cold turkey then others. For some of us it's a long term struggle, where we find it difficult to stick to eating healthy consistently and so it takes us much longer. Add a slow metabolism to a weak will and the struggle…

Same here, I haven't been able to be consistent as well but mainly because I didn't have internet. Wish my excuse was that I was busy as well lol but I've been bumming it out at home, trying to find a job. I know exactly what you mean. I'm usually good except for the binge days. I don't know why we do it especially when we…

Jury duty all week? That really sucks. Maybe you can squeeze in HIIT for about 15 minutes at some point in your day? Every little bit makes a difference. Yea my weigh in isn't looking that great for me either. My weight has been fluctuating and every time I lose some weight, I end up gaining it back.

haha omg i remember those things! my parents would almost never buy them. i was so jealous of ne kid who had it for lunch. so yum indeeed. do they even still make them? i had a deficit of cheese as a child so i made up for it when i got older. needless to say, it kinda ruined my diet lol.
