I bought some fish oil soft gel capsules (1000 mg) because my grandma recommended it to me. I heard it also helps you lose more weight when combined with exercise/good diet. Is this true?
Also…you have fishy breath?
(Did I also mention I’ve seriously been considering stripping for money? It looks difficult, but the pay is really nice — from what I’ve heard — and I absolutely HATE conventional jobs with a passion. So boring! Stripping seems like a great way to exercise, get used to interacting/conversing with lots of different people, and try my hand at flirting all in one. Just what I...

Here’s my game plan for the week.
I’m going to try to go to the gym twice a day, starting tomorrow (too late to go twice today, and I have work that really needs to get done at home). I’m thinking going around 11am and then 7pm, cardio each time. I know I should try and lift weights or something, but for a quick fix, cardio will do.
Except my shins always hurt when I run, even...

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG OH GOD I'M SORRY FOR...
My life just took some crazy turns. But I’m back for now!
Current weight: somewhere between 144-148 lbs.
This. Sucks. I’ve never been this heavy. I maintained 135 all through college, which sucked in its own right, but now I’ve gained 10 lbs from being back home! Must be all the food.
I want to look good when I meet up with some friends next week, so I’m back here to...

As far as thighs go, I can totally see where it’s just fat now, and it’s all jiggly and gross and I don’t like how it looks at all! I wouldn’t wear out as many jeans if I got rid of it and got a thigh gap, which would be lovely to have.
Double chin: Gotta go. I want a lovely, slim face. I’ve got the bone structure for it, I can tell, I just don’t know how to...

Is it better to eat more fruit or more vegetables...
I gravitate more toward fruit because it’s generally sweeter, but now I’m wondering if this is a problem I’m having with losing weight — because of the amount of natural sugar in the fruits. Think apples, grapes, tangerines, strawberries, etc.
What are your favorite vegetables to snack on throughout the day?

JUST TELL ME WHAT TO EAT DECIDING ON MY OWN SUCKS.
I need to stick to some sort of plan when it comes to food, but I have no idea how to go about that, since I eat cafeteria food. I could try and find a schedule, yes, but I don’t know what the best options are, what I should avoid at each meal, etc.
I can work out and think I’m eating healthy, but I’m not seeing any change, and I need someone to actually guide me through the...

Well, my goals for weight loss just aren't...
Still going to workout a crap-ton, but I’m definitely trying to eat healthier now. I bought like, three packages of celery (I like to eat the hearts, but buying a single package of just celery hearts is about $3 more than the regular stalks). Anyway, sidetracked.
I’ve definitely gained a bit more fat in my lower stomach, even though my weight has stayed the same. Ugh. Started drinking...

You guys.
I work out, on average, about 5-6 days a week. For approximately an hour each day, save for Thursdays, which is two hours. I love my workouts, and I find them a challenge.
YET HOW IS IT I HAVE MANAGED TO STAY THE SAME WEIGHT AND NOT LOSE ANY FAT.
Riddle me this?

Weighed in at 134lbs this week.
Going to take measurements soon, but honestly, I’ve just been in a funk. I haven’t really been feeling boxing at all this semester, and I don’t understand why, because it was so fun last semester! If I skip any gym days, it’s usually boxing. Like I did today. And on Monday, even though I needed to study for exams. Sigh.
Family issues back home have made my workouts not as...

Things I have learned:
Eat enough during the day. Tonight at boxing, I felt really lightheaded and dizzy and sick after about…fifteen minutes in to the workout. Turns out, I only ate one thing today — and it wasn’t enough. It’s all fixed now, I heated up some chili I made and whipped up a to-die-for tropical mango/banana/green tea smoothie, and it was so good. Drink water and eat enough to keep...

Soda causes you to bloat, right?
I had one over the weekend and I’m thinking it’s the culprit.
Feeling particularly huge this morning and, embarrassingly so, a bit…err…gassy.
Maybe this is the day I learn to fly? Ahahaha!
Anyway, what’s a good substitute for soda? I’ve noticed that I really don’t like the taste of soda too much, it’s just the carbonation that I want…but is...

Can't tell if I'm eating like a pro-ana or just...
I feel like I eat enough sometimes, but other times I just barely get enough to make 1,200. Like, when I think I’m hungry, I just sit there and let it go on for a couple hours, while drinking something like water or green tea or (yes) soda. I can’t tell if I’m really hungry or not, so I just sit there until it passes or until I realize that I better go get something to eat before...

Smoothie for breakfast/lunch!
Shit’s magical, I tell you. Now I actually don’t mind eating something in the morning. I tossed in two whole bananas, about 1/2 cup orange juice, some frozen strawberries/blueberries/blackberries, and three tablespoons of plain greek yogurt. It’s really good!
My school has a smoothie kiosk in its SUB — student union building. Basically, a giant lounge/cafeteria/bookstore....

Oh, hey! Cramps! Also a little TMI?
Haven’t felt those in about, oh, six or seven months.
Only yesterday did I get some sort of period. It’s not blood (at least, it’s not red), but it’s something, and I couldn’t be happier. I haven’t had my period since late July, and that was still sporadic, even on the pill, which I am not on right now. Do you think it’s this exercise I’m doing?...

I could see a difference in myself this morning.
I was just, you know, checkin’ myself out this morning in the mirror, and when I turned sideways, my stomach looked a little flatter! Yay! Bonus points: when I exhale and watch myself, I can see the indentations of my abs. Haha, that’s good, right? Of course it is!
Looks like throwing myself headfirst into my workouts and going all out really does work!
(Eating lots of good food...

What's a good way to increase my endurance?
This might be completely obvious to someone else, but I really don’t know what to do.
While I was swimming today, I always make it a sort of challenge to see how long I can swim and hold my breath underwater. Kind of silly, I know, but I’ve gotten pretty far. It’s a fairly normal-sized pool, only 25 yards (75 feet), and I can swim underwater/hold my breath until a little past...
Swam for about 45 minutes, now feeling lazy and a...
It’s over at 7, so I still have time. Considering eating something before I go out.
Hmmmmmm.

Haha, I’m going swimming this afternoon with my friends. I told myself I wasn’t going to work out, but it’s been ages since I’ve been swimming, so I thought I’d get back on the horse! Of course, I swim differently, as I’ve stated before.
New followers: I can’t swim normally, I was never taught. Instead I only know how to do two things: doggy paddle and...

Would really love to go workout now, even though my whole body hurts. However, if I do go workout now, my total time for working out today would be four hours. I would just run to sword-fighting afterwards, and I really should eat something for dinner this time. A proper dinner, that is.
Haha, I’ve got to cool my jets before I get burnout.
Any of you get like this?

So I decided, on a whim, that I would attend both Zumba and Butts, Guts, and Thighs tonight. They take an hour each. I. AM. SO. SORE. Not to mention, I am dripping sweat. My back is totally soaked, which is pretty disgusting, but I’m kinda proud of it. Zumba was lots of fun, though I came in about ten minutes late because I was lollygagging. I definitely feel like I’m getting better at...

Someone tell me to make smoothies.
I now have a smoothie maker blender.
I want to make smoothies.
Yet, I do not know how loud it is, and I do not want to upset the people in my hall/next door if I make smoothies all day, every day.
Tell me to do it. :D
Please?
