Is this enough?
So in 2011 I lost 38 lbs, and over the course of 2012 (I turned 21/ got comfortable with my body, etc) I managed to gain 13-15 of that back (depending on the day). I really really really do not want to keep gaining and would like to lose that 15 lbs and probably another 5, so I started doing: Bootcamp Monday/Wednesday…

Back on track... causing LOTS of weight gain?
Ok so I've been doing this for nearly 2 years and fell off the wagon for a little bit and gained back around 13 lbs. But since a week and a half ago I started working out hard again (bootcamp 2x a week, turbokick once, spinning once, and my own cardio/strength training once with the weekends off) and I am SORE AS HELL and…

Body fat reduction?
Different calculators are telling me different things (calibrators gave me like 23%, the hand help machine gives me like 24, and some online caculators are giving me 25-27%) You can see my body in my pictures, and I'm playing it safe and saying I'm around 26-27%. I want to be around 20% by Sept 1st( When I'm scheduled to…

Nausea/lightheaded-ness during run
Ok it's not because I didn't eat enough because I had a HUGE 450 calorie breakfast and drank a bottle of water beforehand... and only ran 3/4 of a mile before I had to stop so I couldn't have dehydrated myself that quickly.. any other ideas? I can't even do squat jumps or any cardio without feeling nauseous.

Do you guys think...?
I went home from college for winter break and didn't get a gym membership or anything because I didn't feel like paying anything for just a month of the gym. I ran outside only about 5 times the entire month and didn't really watch what I was eating. The scale fluctuates every day but I'm back at school and it looks like I…

i hate it
I literally am so bothered by it because I see it every day.. IT'S "LOSE" not "LOOSE" get educated, people. Second graders know the difference between the two.

That stupid stomach pooch!
I have lost nearly 40 lbs and I'm getting super close (as in 7 lbs) away from my ultimate goal and this stomach pooch is NOT going away... Has anyone lost it? Does it ever leave? At about what BF% did yours disappear?

A discouraging realization
I thought I was closing in on my goal weight (7 pounds to go) but I'm starting to realize I am not anywhere NEAR where I want to be, I don't look like I want to yet and I'm starting to realize I may have another 15 lbs to lose before I get there.. It's kind of discouraging because I've come so far and 15 lbs is going to…

New Years NSV
This year I am ringing in the new year 36 lbs lighter... but the most amazing thing about this new year is definitely an NSV.. Last new years I couldnt find anything that looked good because I was so big! I ended up wearing a short sleeve sweater with sequens that I'd had for years and jeans and looked absolutely HORRIBLE.…

I feel like I'm never going to look thin..
I have lost 36 lbs, I am 5'2" and currently weigh 131 but I feel like I've looked exactly the same for the past 12-15 lbs. I know I look a lot different than I did at my highest weight and I think I look a lot better, but I feel like I'm getting so close to my goal (only 4 lbs away) and my stomach is still all flabby and…

A couple questions

I am 5'2" and currently 135 lbs and around 26-27% BF I want to eventually get my body fat down to 21% and I do HIIT cardio 3 times a week, zumba 3 times a week, and starting strength training(as of two days ago) 3 times a week I'm…

Weight almost always drops after heavy drinking?
So I'm at my last 8-12 lbs (idk where exactly I'm going to stop yet) and have been losing very very slowly. Only about 9 lbs in the past 3 months. I am in college and drink alcohol on the weekends, so most fridays and saturdays I go over my calories by a considerable amount and usually saturday or sunday morning after…

Can I gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously?
I've been reading I can either lose fat, or gain muscle. Not both at the same time because losing fat requires a caloric deficit and gaining muscle requires eating more calories I am around 10 lbs away from my goal and I don't want to be "skinny fat" (Be thin but still be flabby). I want to be toned and have nice muscle…

burn 300 calories in 20 minutes on the elliptical
Ok so, this is my routine for days I don’t have long at the gym. I always like to do intervals because it gives you the best burn and after-burn but this is a super sweet burn on the elliptical in only 20 minutes! I’m so sick of seeing girls do the elliptical on level 15(the automatic level for a cybex) for an hour. It’s…

RANTING- not for the easily offended
the nerve of some people, seriously I cannot STAND it when people call thin/skinny people "anorexic" Like when people ask me "why all my friends are anorexic" YOU DONT KNOW THEM you cannot assume a thin person is anorexic and anorexic is certainly not a synonym for skinny just because YOU'RE fat doesn't mean thin people…

SO FRUSTRATING
When I started my weight loss journey I was 167 lbs and wanted to lose 40.. and after 30 lbs I still have the same goal. But when I was 167 and told people I wanted to lose 40, especially my family, everyone freaked out. My one aunt even thought I only weighed 125 lbs! And now people tell me I need to stop losing weight…

bootcamp
So I do this spin class on wednesdays and its like a combination spin/bootcamp. We do about 20 minutes of really intense bootcamp exercises in the class and I feel like I'm dying after every one. I was wondering, in 20 minutes of bootcamp(today we did a circuit that was 15 squat jumps onto a step with 2 risers, 15 med ball…

Met my first major goal
When I started my weight loss journey my major goal was 140, as I got closer I realized I wanted to change it to around 127 because it would be a healthier weight for me and I probably wouldn't be happy at 140 I'm now 139, and have surpassed my first major goal! Only 12 more lbs until my Goal Weight!! This is crazy for…

What to do?
Ok so I've been doing the elliptical for like an hour every day for the first 6 months of my weight loss then when I got to school, I reduced my elliptical time to like 3 times a week and run/spin/do zumba on the other days But some days I REALLY don't want to run. Like today. And I know I can burn more calories in an hour…

how come i can't see it?
When I look in the mirror I see everything the same as 28 lbs ago. Only in pictures can I sort of see a difference. But then I think it's probably just the angle of the camera or something. How come I can't see my progress?

Predicament

ABSURD
Ok so, I live in an apartment with 3 other girls. I'm a junior in college. We have.... THREE SCALES in our bathroom. THREE. And I really want to start only weighing myself once a week, because I fluctuate a lot and it's really discouraging day after day. I weigh myself probably 5-7 times A DAY. But my roommate is also…
