Hey! So I'm losing weight, and thus far it's going quite good.. However I've quit drinking until now, but I plan on starting again soon. I want to sustain my student lifestyle with getting drunk (so not just a few beers/wines) once every 1-2 weeks. I suppose it could be possible (I know it's not healthy) and I was just…

5'8" women who are losing slow&steady!
Hey everyone! So my name is Emma and I'm 21 years old. I'm 5'8" (well actually 172 cm so that's... a little less than 5'8"?) and started at 198lbs.

Just made my 'before' pictures.. A bit of a shock
Hi, So, I just made my 'before' pictures (they're on my profile). I made a picture not sucking in my belly for the first time and it really shocks me how bad it is. Also, I did this just after looking up on the internet that my ideal waist measurement is 60-74 cm.. I'm at 93, which means I have to lose 20 cm and it just…
