Shredding Lbs: hmmm, advice? →
shreddinglbs:
so for a combined birthday/christmas gift..my dad told me he’d take me shopping since NONE of my clothes fit anymore.
realistically…I could still lose another 15 pounds. So I don’t want to get new clothes that wont even fit me by the time February comes around.
I’m sick of wearing the same…
Yeah, like someone said 15lbs could be a while away. I suggest you take your dad...
Swimming never ceases to make me feel awesome :)

BOrereedddd so survey time :3
1. Current craving(s): Foodwise-- I wouldn't mind going for some fettuccine alfredo. Haven't had that in soooooo long. And I'm on my period. Gahh. Physicalwise-- I'm craving the swimming pool! I'm craving working out and expending energy and feeling my limbs go numb. I'm headed to the gym in a bit after I finish eating. Hopefully I get a good workout out of my swim.
2. Favourite Christmas present: Ralph Lauren Romance perfume gift set. LOVE IT :3
3. Biggest fear: Short term-- being SOL over something I did last semester. Long term-- failing, I guess. Ending up alone, unmarried. As I get older and older that begins to scare me because everyone I know is getting married in their early 20's.
4. Last meal: Oatmeal with apple, flax, cinnamon, dash of brown sugar, coffee.
5. Favourite thing about the person you like: IDK.. I'm trying not to like them anymore LOL. Technically I'm not even sure if I like them. I guess... he's the only person who makes me feel comfortable, and safe. And that's what really drew me to him.
6. Biggest regret: Not experiencing more as I was a teenager. Now that I'm in my 20's... I'm starting to see what I missed out on. I'm starting to see life for what it really is. And I wish I didn't dwindle those years away sitting behind a computer screen being divulged in my graphic design hobby because of my insecurities to interact with my social group IRL.
7. Person you hate: I don't have anyone.
8. Last kiss: It was.... unexpected. And lovely. :)
9. Biggest insecurity(s): Gosh.. I have so many. Definitely physical appearance. I'm insecure about my chest, because I had like an acne breakout sooo it's not pretty. I'm afraid the scars will never fade or smooth out. I'm insecure about my arms because they're not naturally slender like most girls arms are. Like some girls are 80lbs overweight, but their arms make them look normal. My arms make me look like I'm a whale. LOL. I'm insecure about my hair. I made the mistake of shaving my body when I was really really young. BAD IDEA. When I can afford it, laser treatment here I come. I'm insecure in relationships with people. Like... I always have this need to feel "wanted". I always have this feeling like people don't WANT me there, or want me to talk to them, etc. So it makes me back away and distant. I just don't really have confidence in the things I do or say so I don't really act "silly" or say dumb stuff, even though I'm thinking it in my head. It's weird. IDK. I'm all screwed up inside. Gotta work on it. Because deep down, I'm know I'm only human like everyone else and there's really nothing to be insecure about. It's all in our head.
10. Bad habits: If I don't put things away right away (like when I'm in a rush), things tend to pile up and I end up leaving a huge mess for a while. I just put off cleaning it for a while. LOL. So my room could be messy for weeks before I go into a "clean freak" mode and clean everything. I have a bad habit of staying up late and sleeping in. And definitely procrastinating. Ughh.
11. Last crush: V.
12. Favourite song: Don't have one. Right now I'm hooked on the song Glad You Came (Alex Gaudino Remix) by The Wanted.
13. Childhood memory: A lot. IDK. I was a happy child.
14. Something you'd change about yourself: My body is a first. Being less insecure about everything is second. I typically like everything else about myself. I think I have a good head on my shoulder. I just hate when I overanalyze things. And I care too much about things/people who don't care. That's a problem.
15. Best friend: Walter and Brooke
16. Favourite food: Grilled chicken caesar salad from Taorminas
17. Last party: Umm.. someone's birthday party, I don't remember.
18. Worst memory: When I was 10 I guess... I got really sick. And everything went downhill after that.
19. Most scandelous thing you've done: Something I regret. And actually don't wish to share.
20. Favourite holiday: Hmm.. Thanksgiving. FOOD
I feel like my body gained 1/2 an inch all over. Is this cuz of my period? It’s bumming me out :(
IDK..
I just kind of had an epiphany about myself… a stroke of inspiration. I need to do this. Cheers to 2012~
afia-is-here asked: I saw your before and after pics and I just wanted to say congrats on the weight loss and merry christmas:) oh and plus I'm a new follower so hi!
itsonlyephemeral asked: At first I was losing weight really fast, like, 3 and 4 pounds a week. Then it got down to 1 and 2 pounds. so after three and a half months I just gave up. I feel like it takes too long, and I don't see a change in my body at all. I've lost 27-28 pounds.. but idk, so I got off my diet/workout for about a week. and I'm trying to start back. but it's so hard ):

Now THAT was a good workout.
Wow I feel soo much better. Exactly what I needed. And I don’t have to worry about it for the rest of the day. I can get stuff done whatever needs to be done and then go out tonight. SCORE :)
senorita-tacos said: Your period can be effected by the amount of time you spend working out. Which could be cause of the irregulation :)
Yeah? Thank you. It’s quite possible. I don’t have any other unusual symptoms. No pain or cramps or anything. I’m just not used to getting a period again so soon.
I know that a lot of you are with me on getting...

Remember- 99% of any gains you may be facing like I am are most likely from water weight and bloat.
One day- even one week will NOT ruin your progress.
Don’t try to starve and restrict to “make up” for anything you ate.
Be happy that you were able to spend another holiday with your friends and family!!
Let’s veer a little bit back on track today and let’s kick...
Good afternoon!! So how much weight did you gain...
My last weigh in was Thursday morning. Definitely pigged out during Christmas. And I only gained 1.0lbs, and that’s with my period! Insane! I’m hoping to be down to 145.0 by next week hopefully :3
What about you?
PS: Before I get jumped on, this is just mass weight. No one gained that many pounds in body fat. Impossible. So let’s just have fun with this and not take it too...

Even though it’s Christmas, I just got back from my bro’s house where both sides of the family celebrated Christmas this weekend. And now I have nothing to do since I’m home, and all my friends are with family. I really wish LA or Plant Fitness was open.. sigh.
I really need to workout. And I got my period today…… only like 18-21 days between my last cycle? Not 100%...
squidfengshui asked: Just saw your before and afters. You look so good! Congratulations, and keep going! As usual, you've inspired me to get back on the wagon :D

Really bad stomach ache. Not sure if I should workout tonight.. or just give it some time and then go easy at the gym. Hmm

heavy-breathing-deactivated2011 asked: Hi! So you've totally inspired to do the whole BMR and AMR thing but I was just wondering do you have to like adjust your BRM and AMR once you lose say 5 pounds? Like how often do you have to change it in order to keep it's accuracy? Thanks boo! (:
pinkhairandponytails asked: Cool. So did you have to go to a specialty store to get it and was it expensive because I have a feeling those are, haha.

pinkhairandponytails asked: I was just wondering how you get your measurements. I mean, how can you tell how much of what you lost has come from fat or from muscle? Thanks!

Weigh in!
I haven’t been home for the entire weekend (and certainly indulged in too much delicious food while celebrating someone’s graduation!) So I’m going to do the weigh in based on today’s numbers and count it for Sunday. LOL. It’s whatever. No big deal. But I don’t feel like skipping the data for next week. K enough blabbering.
Since last Sunday:
Lost 1.2 lbs

I've just been fasting and restricting for about two months now and after pretty much drooling over your blog I just...
keepcalmanddrinkwater asked: Are you serious about your mom? My mom has always been so supportive so I don't know what that's like. If you need anyone I'm just an ask away. You are extremely strong, stronger than most to be able to, not just loose weight, but do even function with a relationship like that. I hope you have some nice friends and can get away from your Mom soon. Happy Christmas beautiful and stay...

jriley60 asked: Hi:). So I recently started eating according to my bmr, and I was curious if going from dieting to this will cause a weight gain at first. And if so about how long would that last before losing?
tressielynn asked: Hi! I've just found your blog, and you have no idea how happy it makes me, and how much it inspires me.

I'm already on caloriecount, and it's...
