I weigh 10 lbs more on the right, and based on BMI, am overweight. if this isn't proof that i need to ignore the scale and look in the mirror, I don't know what…

Strength training question
Hello :) So, I've been reading all about how strength training and "lifting heavy" is the best way to change my body composition and shed fat. However, between now and September, I don't have gym accesss. Can I get the same effects from using a resistence band and my own body weight? Or is it really necessary to use…

I need your help!
I'm writing an article (for a journalism class I'm taking at university) about perceptions of people at different weights. I want to look into how people are treated when obese, vs a healthier weight, and see if I can write a story about the difference (because I know there is one!) If anyone is willing to speak to me…

My belly is shrinking!
It's like magic - and by magic, I mean hard work at the gym and much healthier, more controlled eating habits. I'm loving the way my body is looking - maybe this year I'll be ready for "bikini season" :D

Almost 40lbs, can't believe it!
I know, yet another Halloween before and after - but after seeing the pictures from this weekend, I was so proud of the way I looked (minus the ridiculous costumes!) I've lost about 37lbs in 2 years. It's been slow, but I've been working on developing habits for the long haul. I only want to lose about 5 more before I…

Thrilled about this NSV :D
I rarely post NSVs, but this one is a big deal for me! Today, I bought a pair of size 6 skinny jeans from Old Navy. I've traditionally had to go up a size in Old Navy jeans because of their fit in the waist. Well, these were on sale, all my skinny jeans have become "boyfriend-style" jeans...so I thought hey, what the heck,…

100 pushups
http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2AXhku/hundredpushups.com This program is supposed to train you to be able to do 100 pushups by the end of it. I did day 1 of week 1 today and I have high hopes. I'm all about setting fitness goals. If you'd like to try this out with me, send me a message or friend request! :)

Cravings!
Came across this interesting page about how to block cravings: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/30mlrf/www.naturopathyworks.com/pages/cravings.php Not sure if it's accurate, but I found it interesting so I thought I'd share :)

I'm calling this an NSV
Not only have I gone to the beach in a bikini TWO weekends in a row (and currently experiencing painful sunburns as a result...) - As I'm sitting here on my bed, confronted by my dressing mirror... I actually *feel* skinny. I've been struggling this whole time to see the size 6 me, instead of the size 12 me. And here I…

Protein
Does anyone have any tips on how to get more protein into my diet? I'm partially vegetarian - I only each chicken and fish, and I'm consistently 60+g of protein under my daily goal. I have whey protein powder, and will look into incorporating it into smoothies - but in general, I'm at a loss for how to up my protein…

Halfway pics - 23lbs down!
My friend and I did a pseudo-photoshoot the other day and for the first time, I've noticed the change in my body - so I thought I'd share. I still have 11lbs to go until my BMI is "healthy" and 16lbs to go until I reach my goal, but I think I'm well on my way. Just a little background...I just finished first year…

Still feeling fat...
...even after losing 23 lbs. Sometimes I feel like hot stuff, but most of the time I still see my old body. I still have 15 lbs to go until I reach my goal weight and my flabby stomach makes me very self conscious! To make matters worse, I met some of my new boyfriend's female friends, and they're all tiny - I felt like a…

so minor but made me happy
A male friend of mine and I were just texting back and forth about food/exercise/etc, and he actually sent me a message that said "why? you're skinny" *and* my RA told me I looked like I'd lost at least 10 lbs (it's really only been about 3 this month...) If I wasn't smiling before, I am now...

McDonalds
A couple days ago, I was out with a friend and we caved and decided to have McDonalds for dinner. I chose to eat a cheeseburger happy meal, and to my surprise when I logged it afterwards it wasn't that bad. Although I only eat fast food about twice a year (with the exception of Subway...mmm), I was pleased to see that with…

no freshman 15!
I'm in my first year of university...so cafeteria food consumes most of my diet. I lost 15lbs between June and September, and my BMI went down by 2 (yay!). I hope to lose another 25lbs before September 2011. My success (so far) is that I haven't gained ANY weight.... despite myths of the dreaded "freshman 15". It's not the…
