  • I just got the book and it's been hard to put down! I have been traveling a lot lately, but once I'm done I plan on starting the journey!
  • For me, I had to have my boyfriend literally be at the gym with me for two weeks til I finally got back into the routine...then once it becomes a routine, it builds to be a habit. and once it's a habit, it transforms your body and you see results. take one step: put your gym clothes on that always always always gets me out…
  • HAHAHAH ^^^^^^^ I've heard that dihydrogen monoxide helps a lot of people with general health! I hate the side effect of consistently needing to urinate :tongue:
  • If you find weight lifting to be boring, try doing circuits! even just body weight circuits can be a fantastic workout!! Also, it's very possible to not lose much on the scale but have your body shape change! Muscle is more dense than fat, so even though you might weigh the same or similar, your body can look drastically…
  • Keep doing what you're doing and just push through! It's frustrating, but patience and perseverance will win!!! You will get there, just don't give up!!!
  • I would usually spend between $8-$15 on a pair, and Walmart has them (Gold's Gym gloves), Target/ TJ Maxx has them too. I get ones that are padded on the palm and that velcro around my wrist. My finger tips are exposed in both pairs that I've ever used. It just takes a day to get used to wearing them, now I never notice…
  • 23 going on 24 in North Carolina! feel free to add me y'all, i'm logging regularly and hoping to lose 10-15 lbs by june!
  • squats, butt kicks and what we call "fire hydrants" where you get on your palms and knees and with your leg bent 90 degrees, lift it out to the side. they killllll. also hips raises!!
  • What an awesome NSV!!!!!!!!!! way to go!!!!! Body Positivity is so important especially to daughters! Growing up, my mom never once spoke about her weight or how she felt about her body in any negative way, and let me tell you, it's a huge role model! Go be inspiring!!

  • Protein definitely helps me stay awake and alert (as does caffiene....try some caffienated tea!) just aim to make each decision the best you can throughout the day. each decision is your own choice and they add up! Good Luck!
  • I'm totally in!! Add me!!
  • 5'8" SW: 170 size 12 CW: 145-150 size 6/8 GW: 130-135 size 2/4
  • Honestly, the best thing that makes me focus on my workouts is music. Put your headphones in and just listen to the beat/lyrics and that pumps me up enough or distracts me enough that I am capable of pushing through the toughest workouts. Find music that consumes you and you should be good to go!! or just schedule your…
  • I am 5'8" or 5'9" and I float between 145-150 and usually wear a 6, but at my smallest, I was about 135 and a size 3/4. I tend to fit better in 4's and 5's when I'm closer to 140 although I own some 5 jeans that I fit perfectly into now. My heaviest I was about 175ish and easily a 12. not much lost on the scale, but a huge…
  • I know the feeling of gaining some weight back..it's so frustrating, but Let's do it!! You got this!!
  • your BMR is the very basic need for survival, pretty much what your body uses as if you were only laying in bed all day. Your Net Calories is what you need to aim for. you should eat back some of your exercise calories, but not all of them because MFP tends to over estimate calories burned sometimes, so general rule of…
  • First of all, Congrats on the incredible progress!! IMO I think you're fine at the amount you're eating, but if you want to up to even 1700ish a day for a week or two and see how you feel and whatnot, I think you'll be great regardless! I think that you probably have put on a little bit of muscle in those 2 months, and…
  • I'm working on my last 20ish pounds!! I made it about halfway and have been maintaining for about a year, and am trying again to lose the little flabbiness I have and get that body!! Add me, feel free anyone to add me!!
  • Feel free to add me! that goes for anyone who needs support!
  • Try to refocus on your goals, what is it that motivated you before your weekend? Even if you go out, you can opt for something healthier!! and honestly, it happens to everyone, just refocus and start back immediately again. That's what I do every time I fall off the wagon, I just pick myself back up and work out and eat…
  • Feel free to add me too! If I don't log in, it's because I'm away on vacation...which is why I only have a 2 days streak right now because I was on spring break, but add me! I love being supportive and encouraging!!
  • You can absolutely do it!!! I'm in, I have a wedding in about 12 weeks as well!!! let's do it together!!!!!!
  • CW:154 GW: 144 Running as much as I can, doing the 1000 squats in 20 days challenge, drinking way more water, taking more time to hit the gym instead of just the 40 minutes or so.
  • me me me! I want to lose at least 10 lbs in 4 weeks..let's do this! also, feel free to add me! :)
  • Peppermint and chai tea are my two favorites, along with the infamous green tea :) Happy Drinkings!
  • I'm 5'9" and roughly 145ish pounds I'm around a 21/22 BMI which isn't bad.. and my bf% is about 20% My size: 5/6. and my shirts are small-mediums It depends on the bone structure. I have a friend on here who is 5'4" and weighs like 135ish and she wears a size 1...when I was 135 (and hopefully i'll get there again soon!) I…
  • A lot of this answer is going to depend on the type of woman you're talking to. Some shallow lovely ladies will probably ignore the "average joe" and be kinda rude..but I have a feeling that those girls are far and few between. Others however will probably see what you have to say and hear you out regardless of what the…
  • in terms of styles, try some with ruffles! that way they aren't the complete "sexi-fied" bikini but it's still a cute and fun bikini that will make sure you're covered, I got mine at PacSun..and I love it, but I took the time to work with the sales associate (probably like a good 45 minutes to an hour) to find that perfect…
  • I am single for the time being :) and happily enjoying it!
