How do you shrink your thighs?
*sigh* Okay, I had a GREAT success this past 2 weeks with my upper body, I lost 2.5 inches! But my thighs grew by a total of .75 inches :frown: I've been doing 6 sets of 10 squats (with weights) and 3 sets of lunges (with weights) for my strength training, and I started C25K 2 weeks ago exactly... Is that why my thighs are…

So the scale gave me the finger this morning...
...I weighed in at 166.6 :laugh: :devil: I've been stuck at 166 for the past week or so... But this was just crossing the line for my "friend," the scale... So here's to tossing the scale for the next couple weeks :drinker: That's what it gets for crossing me!!

FORGET BMI!!
After checking out this link-- http://www.flickr.com/photos/77367764@N00/sets/72157602199008819/with/1651752679/ I'm tossing the BMI calculator!! If they want me to change my physiology to be "normal," I'd rather be "overweight"! I don't want to lose all my curves! Who's with me? (no offense intended if you're naturally…

How do you tell?
....if your goal measurements are accurate for your body? I would really love to be a size 8 but I've never been that before and I just don't know if it's possible to get down that far... I don't want to get discouraged because I set my goal too low... The lowest I've ever been (healthy) is a 12 or a 14 in the hips, plus…

Non-spicy healthy recipes?
Does anyone have any of these? I have acid reflux and gastritis so I can't eat a lot of spicy things, but I'd really like to branch out with my food choices... I'm not a cook, I can only make things from a recipe, so any new additions to my menu would be mucho appreciado (if that's a word :laugh: ) Thanks!!

Wanted: Guy friends...
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my girlfriends with all my frickin heart, but my friend list is like, a 30 women/1 man ratio, lol... I could really use a more rounded perspective on things... Just a warning, I give a little TMI sometimes haha... But I'm the most loving supportive friend you'll ever have! Only add me if you're…

Females ONLY... and no, it's not what you think!! :P
I have a big problem... I've never had a baby/nursed before, and I'm only 19, but my boobs sag like nothing you would believe... They've taken alot of beatings because of my constant ups and downs with my weight, every time I lose weight I see them droop even more... It's very depressing and I was just wondering if anyone…

NSV #2---"You've lost weight and it shows!"
I meant to post this last night, but it got late so I decided to wait until today-- Last night I was talking to a friend about guys and voiced a couple of my insecurities, hinting at my weight and she said, "You've changed in a good way." And I asked her what she meant by that, and she remarked, "You have lost weight and…

Starting Couch to 5K (c25k) Monday, May 9th! Anyone with me?
I really want to become a runner, and I feel like I need a challenge, so I'm going to do this starting next week, no backing out! I live in a hot climate so I'll probably run in the mornings or evenings, not sure which yet. If I can do this you can do this; I have stomach issues as well as some other physical problems so…

Harder for Short Women?
I have noticed a seeming pattern with short women, that it's harder losing weight. Why is this? Is it because our metabolism is slower and it's easier to overeat? Do we have less muscle? Or does it just SEEM like we're not losing as much weight because there isn't as much to lose? Or, are we imagining things and it's…
-
P90x?
I have heard countless supporters of P90x say it's the best... Is it good for someone who wants to be muscular but not like, ripped? I don't want to look like a man when I'm done (lol) and I have a weak stomach, so I've kind of been holding off on this method, because I've heard it's tough... However, I am having a hard…

Height question??
Should I call myself 5' 1" or 5' 2" on here? My mom measured me with our measuring tape today and said I'm actually between the 5' 1.5" and 5' 2" mark. I want to calculate my BMI correctly, so since I'm still under 5' 2" should I say I'm 5' 1"? Or just round up?

What is considered "heavy weights" for women?
Especially short women? :P I can do a bicep curl with a 15 lb. weight, but I kinda doubt that's considered "heavy" persay... Any thoughts on what I should try to build up to?

NSV--Size 10 dress :D
Okay, I haven't even lost that much weight (5 lbs., which is 20% to my first goal) and yesterday I went to a store and tried on a dress that I thought was a size 16. It fit, and wasn't even tight. Then once I took it off I realized it was a size 10 instead :bigsmile: I have NEVER fit into a size 10 in ANYthing before!! Or…

Are we supposed to lose lean body mass??
I just took a lean body mass test and it told me I'm supposed to have 18 pounds LESS lean body mass... Wth?? Does that mean I'm supposed to lose muscle?

Rolls on your Back
I have some serious fat accumulation right where my sides meet my back. You know what I mean? Those big lumps that make it impossible to wear a swimsuit without cringing? :P What exercises are good to get a burn in that area?

Doctor's Advice or BMI? % Body Fat?
Hey guys, I set my goal weight as the highest weight I should be according to my BMI index (130 for someone who is 5' 1"). However, my doctor told me a few months ago that I should shoot for 150. Which one should I shoot for? I'd LIKE to be 130 but I don't want to get too skinny... Also, I've taken body fat tests and most…

Mini-Goals?
Guys, how important is it to set mini-goals? I have a big goal of losing 40 lbs. but I don't really have any mile-markers laid out... Will that make it go faster??

Newbie here :)
Hey everyone! My name is Haley, and I was guided here by my friend Beth. I'm only 19 years old and considered "obese" (my weight is only 170 but I'm very short, 5' 1") and I want to make a change. I'm tired of being the fat girl that sits on the sidelines watching everyone else have all the fun! And I'm tired of being…
