Um... yeah I was 5.

Obviously I'm at the low end of the spectrum haha

5'8", 19 yrs old, 215 lbs... however I don't look my weight.  The thinnest I ever was was around 160 when I was 15 and 16.  About a size 10.

My goal (by next year) is to be 145, because its a healthy weight for my height.  But seeing as I've never been that thin... it'll definitely be interesting!  I'm looking forward to being a tall, skinny, fierce biatch lol

Hey well done! What is water weight? is that why when you first start you dont feel different? Ive been doing it for 2 weeks now and ive cut out almost everything fatty that i used to have and i feel no different at all :( its not good because i am edging nearer and nearer to the chocolate muffins in my kitchen!

 

 what's your exercise look like?  That could be part of the problem.  But yeah, give your body time to adjust to everything and keep reading about weight loss.

i'm more worried about the weight at this point, once I'm past 200 I'll start to do more weight training i think.

i kind of like logging everything... its sorta comforting haha 

yeah it says 1450.  Guess I'll bump it up, huh? lol

As for exercise, that's ok right?  I always feel like i'm a baby for only doing 30min of cardio but my legs are exhausted after it so... i can't really do any more haha 

well I always heard that 1200 was what women were supposed to eat.... but then through this site I learned that that really wasn't enough.  So I bumped it up to 1350.  Sometimes I'll go over, but I try to keep it between 1350-1450.

That's not enough?

How is the BK Veggie burger? Really - I mean can you tell that there is no meat in it? Is there an aftertaste? I was just curious.

Thanks,

 My friend's a vegetarian and he gets them ALL the time- he loves them

I like smoking so I'm focusing on losing the weight. Though running is kind of a bitch because of it lol.

I would think that it would be easier to diet and get in that healthy mindset, then try to quit smoking.

yeah unfortunately that's true... when you get bigger your boobs do too and when you lose the weight so do your boobs.

but honestly, don't worry about it too much.  If you have a proportional shape, it'll stay that way when you're thinner.  I love my 38Cs, but I really wouldn't mind having them a little smaller and perkier.  Pec exercises help too

I worked at Subway for a year and when it says the 6 grams of fat or less, you need to stick EXACTLY to the measurements... so its usually never 6 grams of fat.  However a veggie sub, or one of the wraps... they're good and pretty good for you. 

Though *this is a trick of the trade* be WARY of the wraps because they aren't as popular and subway will leave them there for days.  I can't count how many times I'd check the wraps and found that a dumbass co-worker had let them go moldy.

I don't think that's unreasonable at all.  I wish I had that kind of time to devote to the gym!

I wouldn't do cardio for 2 hours, no... but maybe 45min-1hr of cardio and then the other hour stretching and muscle training would be better.

 But considering its once a day, not every day of the week, and they see you eating and don't hear you puking it all up again, they have no reason to harp on you about it lol

That's a good way to deal with it... I'm trying to lose 75 lbs by next year (to bring me down to around 145) so I'm making my big celebration points every 25 pounds.

I joined yesterday, so I'm new too... good luck!!!
