Thanks! I'll definitely check it out

I only gain like 2-3 pounds, it's usually water weight...not from eating more because i just get bloated in general during it

Way to go! Merry Christmas!

the name of the DVD is dance off the inches?

Probably wouldn't do the last one because of my back, but I'll look into it!

Carmen's is like over 10 years old so dated fitness videos don't bother me! lol

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! The only one I've done by all your suggestions is Zumba at my old gym a few times a week...might look into the others too!

This is very true. I am only 22 with a desk job and I really hurt my back I think with poor posture..I didn't even realize how bad it was until I started consciously sitting up straighter.

No I don't anymore...I think it can be very discouraging when you feel like you're working hard and then you step on and hardly see a difference.

me too! i avoid it like the plague because i'll get so depressed lol

WOW okay no excuses for the 15 lbs i need to lose - thanks for the inspiration! beautiful!

I definitely don't trust myself. I have fallen off the wagon too many times lol

I've never been overweight until last year when I was slightly over the "healthy" mark for my height (5'0'') I've always struggled though with body image issues and I remember at my senior prom this girl who targeted me for no reason the whole school year screamed to me at post prom (she was really drunk) "LOOK ITS THE…

Thank you! I really appreciate your help and will try the calorie cycling definitely!

Thanks so much! Guess I just got frustrated after losing very fast and then suddenly not losing lol

bump again D:

Bump lol - really need help

everyone looks awesome!

I'm 22, 5'0 and my UGW is like 115-120

How many do you eat? WHAT ARE YOUR SECRETS!! lol. What do you for workouts?

I hear ya. I feel like I just constantly fluctuate in the 130s. I don't even remember when I was less then that!

Thank you sooo much! It means alot to me that you figured this all out. So in short you are saying I should set 1692 as my everyday goal, but included in that is the exercise cals. Would 1400 be my goal on days I don't work out?

Thanks so much! Really helpful. Yes my goals I think are reasonable due to my height i would like to be 115 lbs eventually. I eat between 1200-1500 cals a day (depending on my exercise)!

Also, question for you guys...might sound stupid.. Do you eat more or less on days you work out. On the days I would eat maybe 1400-1500 hundred cals, should I work out harder on those days or do a less intense workout? Thanks.

Thanks, I will try mixing things up...this seems to work for a lot of people on here! I have been only eating 1200 cals, so maybe I should mix it up time to time and inluding my workouts.

Thank you so much! I will try this out and the whole "tricking" my body and see if it will get me anywhere. And I'm not going to listen to these people telling me I should be happy where I am because I'm NOT, I am short and know that I will look and feel better if I lost about 15 pounds. I am on the borderline of healthy…

I am pretty active... I work out from 30-60 min 5-6 times a week and try to mix it up. I also have between 5-8 glasses of water a day.

And don't diss my inspirations!! :mad: I love my Gagaloo. She is very fit

I'm only 5'1'' :/

it so is, but just keep thinking about the road ahead and looking and feeling great everytime. i have to force myself to the gym most of the time. once i'm there i'm fine, it's just the process of going there that is a pain lol
