favorite quotes from a movie
mine are a little depressing but they kinda helped me out when i was going through a tough time: White oleander: “Isn't it funny.I'm enjoying my hatred so much more than i ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you, changes its mind. But hatred, now, that's something you can use.…

gym newbie
i'm thinking this week (i actually have 2 days off which rarely happens) i will make a trip to a small gym in my neighbourhood. i think i know how to use the machines, but i was wondering what i start the weights as? sorry if this is a dumb question, i just think i'll feel a little lost. and how long should i be on each…

anyone else feel somewhat guilty when sick?
this is kinda ridiculous but i feel guilty when i'm sick. like i feel like i'm letting everyone down. i've been up since 3:30 am running back and forth to the bathroom. i'm running on 2 hours sleep, and i couldn't even choke down breakfast. now here's where i feel guilty. my manager let me go home early today. and i'm…

can you guys help me decide my weekend?
i'm sooo on the fence with this one. basically my group of friends is going to a show on saturday (not sure which one), and it's only 10$ a ticket. i looove shows and i LOVE everyone that's going. my friend wants me to come so badly, she's begged and offered to pay for my ticket. okay but here are the negatives of going:…

best protein shakes?
i usually drink a special k shake in the morning at 7:30 with a small meal and it keeps me full till about 1-2pm when my lunch is. but it has lots of sugar in it. i want a protein shake that tastes kinda good but will keep me somewhat sustained. also, no protein shake that i HAVE to add milk to it. i have ibs and milk…

compared pictures from when i started.
honestly, lately i've been feeling kinda blah, like nothing has made a difference. but i just took some pictures and compared them to when i first started, and wow, 10 pounds does make a difference! i do suggest everyone take pictures! it definitely made me see this hard work wasn't for nothing. i also measured my waist…

why do i lose slower than others?
just a simple question, i just wan't to know why some people lose slower than others? i see people on here losing 40lbs in 5 months. but others (myself included) seem to lose slower. like way slower. why is that?
-
will going over in certain things ruin my progress?
like i mean fat, sodium and sugar. i've slowly gotten way better at controlling my sodium but some days i'm over. i know sodium will affect the number on the scale negatively- that's why my main priority was to keep sodium down. but i'm wondering if lets say i went over in protein every day but stayed under my calorie…

try our new drug!
side affects may include heart attack, stroke or sometimes death. like seriously, why would i buy anything after a commercial like that?!

5'6 women with 50+ pounds to lose

NSV
not really a success story, but something that means a lot to me. i've dieted on and off my whole life. but this time is the LONGEST i've gone without giving up or losing motivation. it's only been 2 months, but it means a lot to me. and i'm still so determined :) i don't see me giving up anytime soon. before i'd go 2-3…

someone hit and run my car this morning.
so i was outside shovelling then foot of snow we got over night (yuck!) and i noticed a bunch of snow got knocked off my car. my neighbour comes out of her house and told me i was side swiped. basically my whole drivers side from the front to the back has a huge dent down it. luckily i can still open my doors and drive it.…

stupid question.
anyone find they lose slower than others? like i've been doing this since january 15th and i've only managed 9lbs. like is this normal? or am i losing slower than others? i see people on here for 2 months and they've lost about 15-20lbs. i eat my TDEE -20% and i have a pretty active job 5 days a week (walking, standing a…

what motivates me
instead of thinking how far i have to go, i think of how far i have come. 9lbs may not seem like a lot for most people, but it's the farthest i've ever gone while dieting! before i usually only managed 4-5lbs! also i'm doing little goals. for example, i started at 206.6 and now i am 197.6 :) so the first 10lbs goal is…

i find myself daydreaming.
i have still a majority of my weight to lose, and i'm so confident in the thought of me doing it. i think what changed for me this time is i realized i have to do it slowly. whereas before i would think "oh, if i don't lose 50 lbs in 5 months then i suck" but now i realize .5-1lb a week will be sufficient. i'm doing this…

i heard it takes 30 days to make a habit?
is this true? i've been at this for almost 40 days and i seem to be finding the controlled food easier to handle! i still get little cavings but i don't give into them. at first it was a little hard but i'm actually enjoying it. the reward is seeing the scale go down .5 or 1 lb every week! i'm hoping this is a "habit"…

i really really wanna start weight training.
i know it's the key to faster fat loss. a girl i knew started working out and the pounds melted off her within 6 months! she looks amazing and i'm so jealous. problem is... i'm so busy. i wake up at 6am to get ready for work, then right after work i goto school and i don't get home till 10pm :( i find it hard to function…

has anyone lost 50+lbs on 1700cals
a day? that's the approach i'm going and i seem to lose a steady 1lb per week. but i'm wondering if it'll stay this steady. will i eventually need to drop my calorie intake? i wanna lose about 60lbs in a year. i was hoping under a year but i don't think i'll be able to do it with 1lb per week. but if it's steady and keeps…

how do you deal with a bad coworker?
here me out: i've been working at a new place for a couple months and it's a lot to learn. everyone is super friendly except one girl. what a B. here's what she does: doesn't say hi or bye to me. ignores my existence when we're in a group discussion. she literally tells me EVERYTHING in a snappy, *****y way. she raises her…

winter blues
i actually get incredibly depressed during the winter. which means lack of motivation. i have no trouble staying in my calorie goal (though sometimes i do want comfort food, but my cravings are pretty much under control) but i have trouble getting motivated to exercise. like it's so bad sometimes that i have trouble…

what are your plans
for when you lose the weight? i'm thinking i'll be more social, enjoy activities that i don't enjoy now. i cannot wait to buy cute clothes that i can't wear now. i'm also hoping to get back in the dating scene. yours?

im not one to fall for fad diets but my friend switched to alkaline water withought diet or anything and her stomach looks 4-6 inches smaller or about 5-10lbs tinier. she said she's been falling off the wagon and eating like crap but just switched to alkaline water. i'm actually baffled and convinced after seeing her…

my "thinspiration"
i know this sounds ridiculous but hear me out: my old best slept with my first love(boyfriend) a couple years back. :( i can't explain the hurt i went through. probably helped with my weight gain. anyway, we were always the same size, i was somewhat smaller. and i havent seen her since but someone told me she lost a lot of…

staying under in carbs,
i'm a huge carb lover and i love bread and pasta. but surprisingly i've found i'm always under for my carb count :) and i feel i'm not craving them! my only issue is sodium. i have lots of problems with going over on sodium. :( which is really bad.

is going under really that bad?
if i was under by about 300 cals one day, would it be that bad? or should i make sure EVERY day i should be eating my calories?

a girl i know lost about 100lbs
through good ol' fashioned hard work and exercise. she looks amazing and she's so skinny now. BUT my issue is she's a sales rep and literally isn't living her life. she's at her goal weight but i asked her a bunch of questions: me: what do you do at work events? there's lots of food and alcohol her: when everyone else…

another simple question
i don't always get the chance to eat when i'm hungry. sometimes i have to go 2-3 hours without eating, even if i feel like i'm starving. just wondering: am i going into starvation mode when i'm so hungry but i can't eat for another 2 hours? like will it affect my weight loss? i still eat all my cals, but like i said, when…
