| Weight Loss | Do you weigh more than you 'look'?? I do. | Jul 31 2009 19:42 (UTC) |

I think I look like I weigh more than I actually do! I suspect it's because my boobs are really big and make me seem heavier than I am, especially because I'm so short (5'0) with 34D boobs.. :| |

I'm still working on my weight loss journey, but I have really great boobs and a perky butt. Aand a cute face ;) My collarbones are definitely more visible now and I think they look elegant! I'm also pretty sharp witted. |

| Weight Loss | But you're so skinny... | Jul 26 2009 19:48 (UTC) |

I haven't ever gotten "but you're so skinny", but I've very often gotten "But you're not technically overweight, you're fine," "You don't need to lose any weight, you wouldn't look good skinny". Ha! And it's not like I'm a big person- I'm 5'0. I'm pretty petite.. Technically I'm not obese, but what's wrong with wanting my outside to reflect my inside? To look the best that I can while I'm still young? To look and feel better about myself? It's like I don't just want to be healthy, I'd like to be in the best shape that I can and be totally confident about my looks and be able to wear a bikini. There's this online forum where we post what we eat and weigh-ins and whatnot and several people were like "Why are you still losing weight? You weigh so little!" and I was like "Do you know how tall I am?" and posted progress pictures and they didn't say anything lol because it was pretty clear I still had some weight to lose.. People don't understand short people! I feel like I should just post my BMI instead of my weight so they can understand. |

| Weight Loss | Why don't people acknowledge a small weight loss? | Jul 20 2009 08:18 (UTC) |

I agree! When I'm done losing weight I'll only have lost 28 lbs from my highest weight, but I'm only 5'0 so it totally makes a difference. The more weight I lose, the harder is to come off too! Although I do think success stories of people who've lost 100+ lbs are very inspiring and I love reading them, I also think just like a 20 lb weight loss can completely change the transform I look and feel. Although I dunno, people have definitely noticed for me anyway. Wearing clothes that show it is pretty necessary though. |

| Weight Loss | why do you REALLY want to lose weight [be honest] | Jul 19 2009 18:29 (UTC) |

I want to have more confidence in the way that I look.. Especially when my stomach gets flatter- I want to get a navel ring to show off my bellybutton, which I've always been a little ashamed of because it's big and sort of more horizontal than vertical, if that makes sense. But I also thought navel rings were cute, and I always secretly wanted one. I want my ex to kick himself when he sees me. ;) I just want to be more confident and feel sexy and toned. |

| Weight Loss | Anyone up for a new 10-15 lb group? | Jul 11 2009 06:40 (UTC) |

How is everyone doing? Here's my check in (A little delayed): SW: 114.2 lbs CW: 113.6 lbs! (I'm only 5'0 hehe) (My last weigh in before that was 114.4 and had been for awhile, so I finally lost a lb!) I exercised cardio three times a week, and I'm finally starting to see results.. I'm also making sure I stick to 1200 calories, but I'm pretty sure I went over today.. :( |

| Weight Loss | What is your weakness food? | Jul 10 2009 03:08 (UTC) |

Bagels and cream cheese (Blueberry bagels with cinnamon cream cheese or everything bagels with plain cream cheese). So yummy.. It's difficult to wean myself off of them or stop myself from overindulging =/ |

I like my name- it's common, but not overly common (Denise). Although it really bugs me when people think my name is Jenise- ?!?! I prefer it to the overly girly, ditzy sounding names that were pretty popular for my year ('89). |

I want my ex boyfriend to be kicking himself the next time he sees me! (Actually, just after we broke up, his sister came to visit and she was like "Wow, you've gotten so skinny! What were you thinking, Jake? You really f*ed that one up, huh?" Hahahaha). To get a bellybutton ring, I've always secretly wanted one because I think they're cute- but my stomach was always too fat. I always carry all my weight there and I'd just like to feel confident enough to wear a bikini as well without covering up my bellybutton. :P |

I am totally! Age: 21 Height: 5'0 Weight: 114.2 lbs Goal: 100-105 lbs I've been 114 for a month, maybe more. I'm switching up my diet to be more low carb, thinking maybe that might help.. I carry a lot of fat on my stomach, which is really the only area of my body I'm unhappy with. And I definitely need motivation to exercise as well! That's what I've been missing lately. |

I have a similar problem! I am also 5'0, 114 (I've been 114 for like a month too!) Personally I am trying to eat less carbs and fit more cardio into my life. It's super frustrating though :( |

| Motivation | Does anybody else binge at home when others are not around, but when others are around say "No" to all junk food | Jul 06 2009 02:32 (UTC) |

Yes! It's so difficult to stay strong when my twin walks around munching a Family size bag of Doritos, uggghh. And I buy blueberry bagels to have my carbs in the morning, and yesterday I went crazy and ended up eating 3 throughout the day! I'm on track today, but usually I can do much better if I'm at college and control what I buy and just don't buy Doritos or Oreos or ice cream or Cheez-its. Temptations! |

| Weight Loss | Revenge Weight Loss? | Jul 02 2009 19:12 (UTC) |

Yes! My ex, he always told me that I got more beautiful every day. (He doesn't sound so bad, but he would always say some random girls were retarded hot, and I felt like he never thought that about me). We're taking a two month break and I want him to be speechless when he sees me next! Also my roommate, whom I absolutely adore, but when I was losing weight before, she said that I "wouldn't look good skinny anyway". And I definitely want to prove her wrong (Like I wouldn't look hotter with a flatter stomach?!) |

I doubt they're lying +-5 lbs, seems kind of counterproductive- may as well not send in your stats then! |

| Motivation | why do parents do this?? | Jul 02 2009 05:43 (UTC) |

I only WISH I could get that kind of support! Being fit and exercising doesn't mean they're saying you're fat- exercise is good for everyone.. My mom said I couldn't sign up for the gym until I made dentist and orthodontist appointments and of course I'm PETRIFIED of the dentist so that puts off the gym indefinitely.. :( |

| Weight Loss | Could that be a collarbone I see? | Jul 02 2009 05:35 (UTC) |
3 |
My collarbones are weirdly visible, not like a skinny person, but much more apparent than 14 lbs ago (It seems to be the only area I notice a difference). I'm small but it makes sense- my bones seem big for my petite height (5'0) but I'm a size 7 in shoes and my wrists and fingers are medium- I could never quite get my fingers around my wrist. |

Not to be like that earlier poster, but my weight stays the exact same.. I guess I don't retain water at that time of the month. |

Yesterday I was doing pretty good but I got so hungry I had a big chocolate chip cookie and a pumpkin spice latte (small, nonfat, no whip, but still!) from Barnes & Noble.. Not even that good, made me feel a bit sick afterwards. (I usually feel sick when I eat too much sweets). Today has started off better, I just got up so I had a banana for breakfast. But I bought lots of very healthy foods today so I can eat better! |

Vanity? I caught a few photos of myself and I couldn't believe how chubby I looked, especially my arms... (The paleness didn't help either). And I'm in college, I would really like to have a cute stomach I'm not embarrassed about! |

| Vegetarian | Ex-Meat eater... | Sep 14 2008 00:02 (UTC) |

I'm a vegetarian but more for health reasons which means I just don't eat meat but I'm not nitpicky about all the other little details, I eat cheese, whatever. I'm not a huge fan of PETA since they do a LOT of shady things that I don't agree with. (They actually euthanize a LOT of animals). Anyway be very wary because a lot of things that you think are vegetarian aren't (A lot of cheeses have meat byproducts in them, anchovies in some Caesar salads, Pop-Tarts, anything with gelatin). Also be sure to buy organic milk and eggs. New leather products... I don't see how you're going to succeed as a vegetarian if you don't like vegetables.. lol. |

Aww thanks! Yes it's probably a self esteem issue. I have always had really low self esteem. But I don't want to be a bitter jealous hag or anything. Hahaha. I'll probably feel better once I've made more progress on my weight loss. I can do this, even if it takes awhile... I guess I should use my feelings for motivation instead. |

| Young Calorie Counters | That stupid brownie wasn't even good! | Sep 13 2008 21:22 (UTC) |

I always do that. Brownies always make me feel sick, I think because they're so rich or maybe I eat too much! My mom bought those candy corn pumpkins (mellowcreme pumpkins??) and I indulged yesterday but they made me feel sick because they're soo sugary. I think I'm staying away from them now! Sugary indulges never turn out well, if I'm going to have a treat, I'd rather have a bagel or Togo's egg salad sandwich! |

| Weight Loss | Keeping you confort food around the house ? Will you binge if you do? | Sep 10 2008 06:58 (UTC) |

I just can't have trigger foods in my house.. I'm home from college for the summer and my mom is constantly buying junk food for my dad and brothers. But I can't resist Cheez-its, Doritos, those addictive cheesy snack things.. And the four tubs of ice cream in our freezer that my dad/brothers don't even touch?! Literally when we were in the store, she was like.. Oh we have to get some ice cream for your dad... Mom, there were four tubs at home and now there's still two left because I couldn't help but eat them!!! I know I need more willpower. I have gained back 3 of the 9 lbs I lost.. Uggghh!!!! Things will be greatly improved when I go back to college because I can just not buy those snack foods. |

| Weight Loss | I want to fit in my Jeans again!!! | Sep 05 2008 05:28 (UTC) |

Yep, I have this stubborn pair of size 2 short American Eagle jeans that just do not fit.. Even though I have 2 other pairs of American Eagle jeans that are the same size and are slightly loose if anything!! (I'm 5'1, 120 right now, have only lost 9 lbs so far..) I also have a pair of gray Lucky Brand jeans that are now breathably comfortable, I used to squeeze into them and now they don't look as horribly horribly tight! Haha. The only sad part is my very expensive LB jeans that were a size 27 and are now falling off me.. Sigh. All that money. :( |

That's great! I started to run for awhile.. Don't forget to take it easy though. I was overzealous running for half an hour to 45 min a day (I can't even run very fast) and must have pulled a calf muscle or something, which literally hurt every time I ran or just in general for like a month. I stopped exercising for a few weeks, which is bad.. But my leg muscle healed, which is a relief. Now I'm sticking with the elliptical for awhile.. But I do like that runner's high! |
