Can't seem to lose any more weight...
I started losing weight a little over a year ago. I started out at 150 pounds (I'm only 4'10), and currently bounce around between 112-115, and have been doing so for several months now, despite regular exercise and a generally healthy diet. My goal weight is around 105, but I can't seem to get there. Could this be a sign…

Progress I think... Pics inside
These pictures were taken in June/July. I weighed about 125-130 pounds. These pictures were taken today. I now weigh 114 pounds. Can you see any difference? ETA: Sorry about the last pic

What is your favorite book & why?
My absolute favorite is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I like love stories, and Wuthering Heights isn't the traditional 'happily ever after', ' girl finds her prince charming' love story. And it's a classic! The 2009 movie adaptation with Tom Hardy is excellent also. Mainly because he's hot ;P

Relationship question! Just for fun
How long after being with your s/o did you realize that that they were "the one"? And was it something they did, said, or just you?

Really need some motivation!
The past few weeks I haven't been eating very well and haven't been exercising as much as I should be. I've only gained about a pound or two, but I know that if I keep doing what I'm doing I'll gain all my weight back. Anyone got some encouraging words to motivate me? :/

Being played by a guy?
There is this guy I met, who I really like. He says he feels the same way. However, he goes from talking to me one day to acting like I don't exist the next. I initiate almost all of our conversations, and he will go from talking to me one day, to completely removing himself and not responding to any texts, calls, etc.…

Senior Lunch tomorrow!
Every other Friday at my school, the seniors get to go off campus for lunch. I don't feel like driving to the other side of town, but there are a lot of restaurants near my school. I prefer going to a fast food place, since I can actually track the food since most of those places have nutritional info online/in restaurant.…

35 pounds lost, feel totally different!
I started my journey at 150 pounds in January (I'm only like 4'10), and now weigh between 114.6 and 115. My goal weight is somewhere between 100 and 110 pounds. I've lost over 23% of my body weight & 35 pounds, went from a BMI of 31 to a BMI of 23 and I couldn't feel better! I have so much more energy now, don't require as…

Homecoming Hair Ideas!
We have our homecoming (high school) in a few weeks, & I'm on the senior court. I'm trying to find something cute to do with my hair. My hair is very long and naturally wavy, and I want something cute that's not a complete updo (I think updo's are more for prom). I'm thinking something half-up, half-down, classy looking.…

Homecoming Dress Opinions?
I bought this dress the other day for our homecoming assembly. They told us one shoulder/one strap dresses were okay to wear, but they need to be appropriate, and a "church-like" dress. They weren't very specific as to what they meant by "church dress", but I saw girls last year wearing dresses much shorter and more…

"What's your secret!?"
I get asked this question all the time (pretty much every day). I've lost 34 pounds since January, and ever since I started back school (been about a month), I've been bombarded with these questions every day. It makes me feel great that they've noticed I've lost weight...but seriously? A secret? There are no secrets. I…

Close to goal, & my story.
Up until January of last year, I had put on a bunch of weight in a pretty short period of time. I worked a lot, ate lots of Chinese food, cheeseburgers, and wings, and I didn't exercise. I didn't really care about what I looked like then. I felt kind of like, "Well, my body isn't attractive, so why should I go out of my…

Done Zumba two days in a row
And my arms are sore. I don't get it. I figured if anything would be sore, it would be my legs, hips, or thighs from the squats in it. Nope, my arms are sore. Like, did 200 push-ups sore. And all you basically do with your arms during Zumba is throw them around to get the full cardio benefit. Any explanations? :huh:

Food sensitivity??
I've lost a little over 30 pounds now. I LOVE peanut butter, always have. I used to be able to have however much of it I wanted. It never made me sick. This morning I put 2 tablespoons in my oatmeal, and I got stomach cramps almost instantly. Is it possible to develop a sensitivity to certain foods when you change your…

Zumba!
I'm thinking about trying it. There is a studio not far from my house that offers Zumba classes pretty much every day. A girl I work with has been going 2-3 times a week, and she says she loves it. It's $6 a session (sessions are 1 hour) and it sounds like a lot of fun. Have you tried it? What do you think of it? Is it a…

Quitting smoking TODAY!
I've been thinking about quitting smoking for awhile now, and last night I decided I would quit today. I smoked my last cigarette about 30 minutes ago. I've only been smoking for about a year and a half, and I'm not a particularly heavy smoker (less than a pack a day), so I also figured the sooner I quit, the easier it…

Zumba Exhilarate?
Okay, so earlier I posted a thread asking about Zumba. Well, I found the box set on zumba.com (Exhilarate) and I was suprised to find it's only $89...with free shipping! 7 discs, toning sticks, and all the dietary stuff that comes with it. I considered buying each individual disc one by one (thought it might be cheaper).…

Where did you notice fat loss first?
Of course, when you lose fat, you lose it all over...but what part of your body did you notice it first? I think I noticed mine first in my stomach and hip area, followed by chest, arms, and finally my thighs and butt. My boobages haven't gotten much smaller, so I'm quite happy! :flowerforyou:

McDonald's -- Official Restaurant of the Olympic Games
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this while watching the Olympics last night.

I hate it when...
People spend money on me. I don't know why! I've always been that way though...and I also don't spend money on myself. It's not that I'm cheap or anything, because I buy stuff for other people all the time with no problem. There are no negative emotions that come with people spending money on me or anything...it's just the…

Calling all shorties!!
What is your favorite thing about being short? I'm 4'11, and I wouldn't change it for anything! I love being able to wear heels and not be freakishly tall, I can fit into small spaces, I can duck faster, I can get up faster when I fall, I NEVER have to worry about hitting my head on the ceiling, I get a better view of…

What's for dinner?
I'm having a chicken leg quarter without skin, cauliflower, broccoli, and whole grain brown rice :)

Lost 1.6 pounds since yesterday...
The past few days I've been eating closer to what I'm supposed to in terms of calories. Yesterday I worked out, ate 1,300 calories (I used to eat around 1,200). Got on the scale yesterday and weighed 122.2. Got on today, I weigh 120.6. I have my lifestyle set at sedentary and I have a goal to lose half a pound a week, but…

Why not to listen to Dr.Oz
I used to watch Dr.Oz back in the day, but I haven't in years. Lately I've been hearing people say not to listen to him, but they didn't exactly give a reason why. He used to give great advice and seemed to know what he was talking about, and he never supported any weight loss gimmicks or anything. What has changed??

Jogging NSV!
I jogged half a mile this morning! Doesn't sound that impressive, but it really is to me. When I was younger and did all kinds of sports, I could jog FOREVER (by forever, I mean up and down my 300ft long driveway atleast 80 times. Yes, I counted the laps.) I stopped doing sports, got out of shape, and now I just can't run…

Had a bad day today...
I went out to eat today at a local restaurant, so I had no way to track it in the database. Kinda had to guess everything. But, when I entered everything, I went way over on calories and all my macros. It kinda sucks, but I did make some good substitutions. I had a buffalo chicken wrap (fried chicken, wing sauce, Mexican…

15 Weight Loss Myths
I came across this list while browsing the interwebz, and I found it quite interesting and thought it might clear up some common confusion on here. Sorry, it's kinda long. "Myth #1: Fad diets work for permanent weight loss. Fact: Fad diets are not the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Fad diets often promise quick…
