I took before and progress photos. One month looked the same but two months I can easily see a difference. Frustratingly, I've been almost the exact same weight the whole time. But I know I'm changing.

I have the Fitbit Charge HR which also has a heart rate monitor and have used it on an elliptical with what I feel to be a good degree of accuracy. I take the steps calculation with a grain of salt but figure your hr is your hr. I also own a Polar FT7 that I was using before I got my Fitbit. We had a long, happy…

I'm new to the Fitbit too! Feel free to add me :)

It's a very old antidepressant. They rarely prescribe it as an antidepressant anymore and most often use it for other reasons. For example sleep or fibromyalgia. I haven't heard of it specifically causing weight changes in either directions but I know other meds can cause changes kind of based on your relationship with…

Currently reading Dr. Sleep by Stephen King

Stop eating the nuts or make sure to weigh them. Soups also have a lot of sodium. Keep working out if you can (it'll help with the stress). Get plenty of sleep and water. And good luck on finals!

I just did the survey and it suggested low-carb and 1300 calories for me. I would be a very grumpy and hungry person if I were to do that. To address your primary question, it's my unprofessional opinion that the low-carb diet will not fast track your weight loss. I think you would see loss because it's also restricting…

I would suggest seeing a doctor. You may have some sort of imbalance.

Anything, anything at all. I haven't seen a loss in a while and it's disheartening :(

Don't do this, please. Unless you're buying off the rack, it takes forever to order a dress and you want to leave time for alterations. I'd suggest getting your current size or maybe 1 size smaller. A corset back would be a good idea because they're so adjustable. Having that motivation helps but things don't always work…

I agree with the therapy idea since your habits are probably caused by an underlying issue. In the meantime, I'm reading a book called "Have Your Cake and Skinny Jeans Too" that deals a lot with binge eating. I haven't finished it yet so I can't vouch for its effectiveness but it was cheap and it might be worth the read…

you annoy me and I don't find this funny. there, that's my grumpy comment for the year

The comment that stands out in my mind within the past couple years for infuriating me came from a professor that I wasn't even taking. I had to go back to the lab to take some more readings for an Organic Chemistry lab. It was the second time I had used the equipment and my professor wasn't there so I had to ask him for…

Finished Day 10 this morning! It has earned its name. Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other. Good luck!

She sounds like a controlling b**ch. Honestly, I would have dropped by now and suggest you do too but..... I can feel your love for her and want to just make her happy. You could tell her that you want to wait until closer to the day to buy everything in order to give you time to collect the money and make sure it's the…

This is me. I have exams all week. Or homework. Then work. Or it's my ONLY day off and I want to rest. Or my fiance is off work and I want to spend time with him.

The book New Rules of Lifting for Women.Or Stronglifts 5x5

6-8, like most of the jeans collecting dust in my closet. I have been smaller but didn't like the way I looked. Currently I'm 12-14.

Rock that pear shape! You look amazing!

I like most of Jillian Michael's videos. P90X and Insanity are both videos. In theory you can do weight lifting at home but that requires purchasing equipment. I'd say there's no reason to be afraid of the gym. Maybe you need to find one that's less intimidating? Or go with a friend. I know the first few times I went, I…

This made me laugh. Sounds like the same motivation my fiance gives me. Honestly, I like the button. I know it's not accurate but so long as it says a number lower than I currently am, it feels good. And on the days I go over it's a good kick in the butt to show me I'm blowing it if I keep eating like that.

Omg, story of my life. I'm getting married next June and have a dress crisis. I bought my dream dress 3 years and 40ish pounds ago so now it barely fits! (Long story.) Thankfully it's a corset so I can suck into it and just have the underlay remade if need be but..... I don't want that to be necessary. Pretty sure if I can…

You seem to be torn because he seems nice and hasn't tried to make a move on you yet. Just because he doesn't right of the gate, don't think it isn't on his mind. He might be trying to get a feel of how far he can go with you and make you comfortable with the situation first. If he tried to jump you on the first night and…

Non Scale Victory

Heck yeah! Rock it!

I make sure that the shakes/protein don't put me over my daily calorie goals, that's my main priority. But I've found drinking them after a workout really helps avoid sore muscles (and hopefully will help build them too). I don't really understand their reasoning. Maybe they do think any excess is magically converted to…

I hate them and they hate me. My best friend keeps trying to convince me to buy a pair but every time I try them on I cringe. Strangely, she's rather pear-like too and they work for her.

Hi, 22, pre-pharmacy student in Kentucky. I could use some serious motivation to make sure I fit in my wedding dress next summer!

I'm going to second the idea of curvy fit jeans. I have personally tried and loved Gap Curvy and Old Navy has two versions. Their Sweetheart is supposed to be the curviest but I prefer a lower rise and got the Flirt style. I've also gotten some good ones from Lee but can't remember the name. Most of them come in short as…
