IN 14 DAYS I WON'T BE ABLE TO LOG. SCARED!!
In 14 days I move into my apartment on the campus of my new school. I won't be able to log like I have been because of dining hall food, and to be honest....I'm scared. I have gotten so used to logging and done so well with it. Granted, I will make my own breakfast and only have dinner and lunch in the dining hall 5 days a…

MY BOYFRIEND IS ON BOARD!!!
Recently I posted a status about being desperate to get my boyfriend on the healthy wagon. He got 3 job offers, but couldn't manage to pass the blood pressure screening for the one he really wanted. I always say that no matter how many people tell a person they need to lose weight, something has to happen that makes THEM…

Cool NSV
I was showing my dad my shoulders yesterday. I told him to touch my delts, and I don't think he as expecting much. He touched them and said "damn that's solid" LOL. So, needless to say, I felt cool.

Better than they fit back then. 2) Went to the dentist, I have been going to this place since I was a little girl. At the checkout desk some of the staff and the…

MADE FUN OF MYSELF B4 THEY COULD
Yep, I was THAT girl. You know, the one who would make jokes about herself being fat and laugh awkwardly because she was trying to beat everyone else to it. But, now I'm actually the girl that is so used to being fat that I don't know what to say when people tell me how good I look and point out my weightloss. I think…

Scared to raise my goal weight
This may sound dumb, and I know I will get alot of "why do you care what people think" type of responses so let me just say...be real, we all care to a certain degree. Ok so my start weight was 224, and my goal is to lose 50 pounds. When I set my goal weight, alot of my family told me I don't need to lose that much (don't…

NSV-NOT THE KIND YOU THINK
So I know that this isn't related to diet or weightloss, but it made my freaking day. I overheard my boyfriend's brother on the phone talking to my boyfriend and having a once in a lifetime "spilling his guts" moment. He told him how proud he is of him and all this nice stuff, and then started talking about me. He told my…

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT "SKINNY"?
I'm curious, how does everyone feel about the word skinny. I am mixed, but I was raised with my black side (except my daddy) and black women take pride in being thick and black men love a thick woman. So growing up, skinny has become kind of an insult to women. When you are called skinny it's more like telling someone that…

IT'S THE 4TH, BE REAL WHO MESSED UP!

WEIGHTLOSS AND LOW-BACK PAIN
So, before I started losing weight I didn't have low-back pain. But now I am 36 pounds down and OUCH. My theory is that when I had more stomach it caused lordosis (aka swayback) which is like imagine standing to the side and it''s like bottom of your spine curves inward (happens alot with pregnancy). But now that I am not…

Can men & women truly be JUST FRIENDS
Honestly, I don't think so. I feel like they make think so, but at some point feelings will get involved that you didn't even know were there. One of ya'll starts dating someone, one of ya'll suddenly becomes single. That "just friends" thing can change very quickly. I was recently contacted by a guy I hung out with ONCE 4…

Ever been afraid you'd end up with an eating disorder
Seriously. With all the calorie counting, weighing in, and working out have you ever been afraid you may become scale obsessed and/or develop an eating disorder? Some people who who have been heavy all of their life develop one because they become obsessive about keeping it off or don't know when to stop losing.

Sometimes family can really make u feel like crap

WHAT ACTIVITY LEVEL DO YOU PUT IN TDEE CALCULATORS
I'm wondering what activity level everyone uses on TDEE calculators. During the week I do the treadmill or a jillian video for about 30 minutes. On the weekends I do 40 minutes on the elliptical and then weights. I am sitting most of the day besides my workout, so I usually use the lowest level.

Doctor says 1500 calories is too drastic
I had my physical today and told her how many calories I'm on and I told her 1750 and asked if that's healthy. She said that's fine as long as you don't go under 1500, that is too drastic.

Trying to insult and make it sound like a joke
Ever met anyone who does this? It's the most annoying thing. If you're going to be a jerk be honest about it and don't try to make insults sound like jokes. My boyfriend's brother has a habit of this. The other day my boyfriend and I had just gotten back and his brother was already there and parked in the handicap spot…

How old were you when you stopped...?
Going into the same dressing room with your mom (if you are a woman) or dad (if you are a man)? My mom and I went shopping yesterday and we automatically go into the dressing room together (I'm 24) and I made a joke to her (I bet for most people this would have started being weird YEARS ago.

FABULOUS NSV
Had some great shopping quality time today. I normally wear a size 16 dress. I picked up all 14's and they ALL FIT. And my mom bought a size 12 dress. When we got home, I decided to try it on. Look what happened! Not getting too excited about the 12 yet. Some brands 12 are bigger than other, so just because this ONE fit me…

Do you do cardio AND Yoga
I'm going to start doing yoga 2 times a week as part of my training. Going to do Jillian's Yoga Meltdown, which is like 30 minutes. I feel like maybe yoga alone won't burn enough calories. When you do yoga, what other workouts do you do on that day?
