Best methods for cardio?
So for the past month or two I've been on the elliptical almost every day. Started out at 30 minutes and have increased to 50 (sometimes 51) minutes. I know that after a while your body will get used to the exercises you do frequently and they won't be as effective, so how long until something like that might happen? Also,…

My fat stomach -__-
So I've lost 23 pounds so far, and I admit that I have noticed changes across my body (subtle changes because I'm kinda tall) but seriously I'm almost 100% sure my stomach has not budged one bit, if not gotten even bigger. I swear it looks just much softer, jigglier....just, worse than it was when I started. It feels…

Cellulite, aka The Devil
Okay so I've always had a big butt. Let's just start with that. And even when I wasn't overweight, my big butt had some cellulite on it.

My struggles with body image started when I was 9, the first time this boy called me a "fat *kitten*" in front of all my…

Love handles? More like hate handles.
Okay so I have only lost about 15 (as of a week ago. not weighing in again until Wednesday morning...possibly lost more) and have a while to go. BUT I have already noticed a nice change in my body. Like in my face, around my waist, a little on my arms, and some on my legs. The more I observe my body though, the more I…

Skipping a day of workout leading to weight gain?!
So today is my last day of Thanksgiving Break before I head back to school tonight (it's just a couple hour drive). Well I wanted to enjoy my last day at home so my mom and I went out to run some errands and had lunch at Panera Bread. I got a Pick 2 with a half roasted turkey sandwich (turkey, lettuce, tomato, country…
