Eating healthy is EXTREMELY difficult while in college!
I agree!
Food can be a comfort.. keep you awake.. help you celebrate.. etc. I'm doing good taking REAL food for lunches though. I used to do the vending machine grab.. i know i know.. but now I take substantial things and I feel so much better. It definitely helps prevent the after class pigout I've done soooo many times.

It is so frusterating. I find that the hardest time to keep up with dieting and exercising is when the scale wont budge... because then you feel like all your effort if worthless.
But if you are eating healthy and exercising you will lose weight. You can't burn more calories then you consume and not lose. It's probably a little plateau and you just have to tough through it. It's also really important that you do eat enough so your body doesn't go into starvation mode.

So I usually weigh myself everyday because I like to know. and I started this at 136.6 two weeks ago and today I weighed in at 131.8 so thats... almost 5lbs!!! I don't really count the everyday just once a week.. but wow! I am really excited right now! Next wed. is the next weigh in.. how is everyone else doing?
My progress report...
I've made progress this year, but it's sloooooow going. I tend to do a little flucuating too. I haven't posted everytime I've gone up or down a bit.. but I think I'll start doing that now. It just takes a sec to update it.
I took a couple weeks real easy.. got sick.. lasted over a week and a half! And that was after 3 weeks of getting up early and doing a 20 min tready 5 days a week and my regular workouts 5 days a week. So, now I'm back on track and if I workout today that'll make 5 workouts. I haven't gotten up first thing yet. I wanted to have a week or two or this first.. I've been a little sore.
Here's the deal.. or what I'm trying to focus on and work through.. I'm worrying about doing things I can maintain. Lots of exercise, but nothing crazy... as much water as I can, which varies day to day... eating reasonably and much less at night. Eating what I want, but having treats mixed in too. And I tell you what.. loss is slooooow, but I am losing and feeling better. My MIL and SIL are on shape up plans and one is doing more like me.. the other dieting and not even eating dinner... and they are losing, but you have to do what you can maintain and since I've know both of them they haven't.
I maintained weight loss and exercise and got better and better after my youngest.. was on a 3.5 yr streak, before I faltered and started to slowly gain back and get into a size up.. So, obviously what I'm doing is working.
Anyway, chins up if it's slow... just take it a day at a time. If you can pass on something.. do it.. if not.. have a little guilt free. And work that booty! It's really the only way to do it.
Good luck this week. I'm hoping after bobbing up and down a bit this last couple months I can post a loss.

I wish I could blame my current lack of weight loss on being in college, but I think it's not so much dorm food as it is me eating too much of it. Or not eating much of it and then pigging out on snacks afterward. I miss real food!
I also miss having a flat(ter) stomach. Time for me to hit the gym!

Hello Everyone! I'm new here. Trying to loose 10lbs. I'm 5'6" and weight 140lbs right now. I've started to exercise last week:
*Walking 20 minutes/day
*Doing Pilates 20 minutes/day
*Weighlifting 10 minutes/day
I'm also trying to cut calories, by eating a healthy breakfast, going to Subway for lunch, and cutting soda (drink about 2-3 cans a day of Coke)
Should I be doing Pilates everyday? I've heard that it should be done every other day in order to be effective. Any thoughts?
