Making progress! VISIBLE progress! Yippeee!
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I am super duper proud of myself here. I usually take two versions of each picture - one with me "sucking it in" and one with my belly let out... I've hit the point where my sucking it in and letting it out pics are almost the same. So these are *all* "letting it out"

Do you guys plan ahead or go with the flow?
So my food intake fluctuates. A lot. Right now I'm on a good spree of losing weight since I've been eating about 1400-1600/day, and my BMR is between 1600-1700. However, I'm regularly eating less than my BMR... Which I know means over time that I'm going to plateau and then begin gaining, so I'd like to try to avoid that…

Cardio vs Lifting for weight loss

How on earth do I count this?
So today for lunch/dinner, I went to a hibachi buffet with my boyfriend. I tried to go easy; got a lot of sushi, a lot of vegetables (primarily broccoli), and two egg rolls (only two...

I'm so proud of myself.. But I still have some ways to go.
So for pretty much my whole life, I've been "That fat girl," and it's always bothered me. I've always had friends look me in the eye and tell me I wasn't fat - even when I was. I'd tried a few times to work out and lose the weight, but I was so out of shape that honestly working out HURT. It didn't feel good. It wasn't…

New and Rearing to go! But for one thing...
So, until recently as far as eating and working out goes, I've just occasionally tossed in a DVD or gone out to run, and pretty much ate whatever I wanted - obviously, I would try to eat slightly less, but still whatever I wanted. However, I have 30 lbs to lose until I hit my goal, and I figure trying to track my food and…
