I usually work out, shower, then eat. If I eat before, I'll get nauseous when I work out. I have to either eat like 2 hours before, or wait until after.

I plan on starting Insanity the Monday after December 12th. It's finals week in college, so I'm waiting until that's over so I can give it a better shot. But I got it from my neighbor instead of paying over $100 for it. I'm really nervous, but excited! Hope I can stick with it. I just want to lose about 10 lbs and tone my…

Because I'm super super shy. People think I have no personality because it takes forever for me to open up.

if you're just trying to tone up and not bulk up, i'd use light weights (2 or 3 lbs) with lots of reps. I do a bunch of Jillian Michaels dvds for toning, and she only uses 3 lbs and she's wayyyyy in shape! She says it's better to use low weight and high reps.

I'm 5'5" and 134 lbs... but you can add me anyway!

For me it's not about keeping my metabolism guessing; it's about allowing myself to have chocolate so I don't go crazy! If I didn't have a little cheat once in a while, I'd give up on dieting all together because I have a huge sweet tooth and can't handle all healthy eating all the time.

I'm a college student. Pretty much sit at a desk all day, and I don't factor in the fast walking to and from buildings on campus. I wish I had a job that would keep me active!

I have a baby poodle :) (ignore the outfit, it was halloween and we weren't done getting ready)

damn my thing showed up for the wrongggggggg person

booty!

I'm 20 and in college, does that count? Haha and I've actually found it's easier to eat healthy after I got out of high school and lived on my own because I get to do my own grocery shopping. So don't get discouraged if it's hard right now!

one of my roommates has a demon chihuahua. it acts all sweet to her, but when she's not here it growls and tries to bite me, etc. I'm the boss here, not this dog! ughhhh

looks good! ps how do you post pictures on here?!

count it as a loss! you could gain or lose more than one pound during the course of one day. no biggie.

this seriously makes me feel bad about eating the cookie i just ate... lol. You look sooooo good!

Yeah I get headaches from lack of caffeine. this is totally not good advice, but i'll drink a coke zero or some other diet soda instead of coffee just because that's a few less calories. But i don't drink anything but water and green tea until i get a caffeine headache. You just gotta say no!

celery is extremely low-cal! one stalk of celery like 8 or 9 inches long is 10 cals or less! good to snack on if you're a person who eats when they're bored like i do :(

You look so much slimmer! There really is a big difference. Good job!

have you tried the zigzag calorie thing? eat very few calories one day, then splurge a little the next, and alternate? this can help break a plateau because eating fewer cals for a while will make your metabolism slow down and this will reset it. try!

I get that from my grandma every time I see her. She's just used to me being chunkier. In high school I got up to 155ish lbs, but I'm 5'5 so that's on the borderline of overweight according to BMI index. Now I'm about 130 and my grandma thinks I need to gain that weight back. I'm much more confident without an extra 20 lbs…

anything sweet. candy, cookies, brownies, ice cream, whatever. I have no self control and am addicted to eating out of bordom. Haha I'm not that large though, I'm just trying to drop a few lbs and get toned up.
