Agreed! Can't drop the last 10 pounds.

I have the vegan chocolate Shakeology. It's meh. I do it when I crave chocolate but honestly, I never noticed it doing anything for me or my bod.

I just hit 73 hours of not smoking after about a pack a day for 10+ years. I'm expecting to snack like crazy so I come prepared to work: salads, fresh fruit, granola, nuts, etc. and drinking TONS of water to flush my system.

Between 110 and 115. I'm 5'2 3/4" :)

I usually have a banana, half a cup of blackberries, half a cup of raspberries, and about 10 strawberries. I love them way too much to give them up, but the carbs from a banana alone are scary!!

Just to be clear, I do not miss smoking. I've just found since I've quit, my appetite has increased significantly and I've been appeasing it. I was just looking for similar stories with weight gain/loss after quitting, not tips on how to deal with nicotine cravings. Thanks!

I'm trying it for more energy and weight loss. Hoping I see results without doing the beachbody programs!

I'm just shy of 5'3 but my profile pic is my transformation! From about 136 down to 117 (that was my weight today).

I haven't had red meat, let alone any meat, in years. Growing up, my family ate a lot of chicken, so that was hard to cut out. Red meat was never a big part of my diet, so giving it up wasn't too difficult. I will say, however, that eliminating meat from my diet has made me feel better overall.

Not really. I took a few before pictures last summer, when I was about 12 lbs heaver. Haven't looked at them since. Never want to look like that again!

I'm 5'2 3/4"! Currently hovering around 117, but my goal is between 108-110. I have big thighs too!

I think I'm one of the creepy starers. The crosstrainer I use is awkwardly placed in a corner, and I'm facing out to the rest of the gym. I zone out a lot while exercising and I think I mindlessly zero in on people without realizing. No one has ever said anything but I guess this thread has made me more aware! That being…

THIS. the gym is not a singles club. it's a gym. the purpose is to get in, exercise, and get out. if i see a guy staring at me while i'm on the treadmill, i feel really uncomfortable and do everything i can to avoid eye contact. so yeah...don't.

agreed! my headline on here is "fit, not thin" :)

I'm not sure I've lost a significant amount, but I'm short and have lost weight! My profile pic is a before and after. I'm 5'2" and lost about 20 lbs. My starting weight was between 136-138, and now I'm down to 117-120 (depending on the day). All it took was exercise and eating right (but I was eating a very healthy vegan…

I'll do it! I occasionally eat chocolate when I have a craving, but I'd like to challenge myself. I'm in!

meeeeeee! I've been struggling with the last 10 lbs for a few months. I want in!!!

I bought a 4 cup reusable water bottle at Target. Fill it twice a day, you're golden!

I've never been afraid to ask someone out. Being formal and traditional is so weird to me though. If I like someone, I say something like "have you been to [this] bar? we should go one day!" or "that restaurant rules. let's go!" it's more of a casual vibe and just makes me feel more comfortable. I think it's silly to not…

Mine is my profile picture! I'm 5'2 3/4". Picture on the left is from last summer, ~136lbs. On the right is a few weeks ago, 116! I still have 5-10 more lbs to go, but I'm chugging along!

I have contemplated getting the quadratic formula tattooed on me. it is my faaaaaavorite!

no one!

I'm 5'2", 116. My goal changes constantly; sometimes 110, sometimes 105. I'd at least like to get to 110.

I'm gonna have to disagree on this one. I'm a very happy person. I'm friendly with the staff, say hello and make small talk with whoever is working the counter. Maybe I'll smile at other women in the locker room or people on my way in and out. With that being said, I don't go to the gym to make friends. I go to work out…

you look phenomenal!

Yes you can shower! Just don't put the tattoos under the stream of water; essentially, don't saturate it. When you clean it/them, use lukewarm water and antibacterial soap. Lotion is optional, balm is optional. The only hard part is not scratching and picking at it when it starts to peel!

I use soda as a treat; I only order it when I eat at a restaurant and even then, it's always diet. I stopped drinking it a while ago and really lost a taste for it. Now my weakness is sugar free red bull! mmmm....
