Note me and I'll send you a load of stuff, I had to lose weight and build up muscle about a year ago, and I guess the structure I used can be used for you

Hey yeah :D Anything helps and if it's not exactly what I need I can totally adapt it. Noting now c:

Lots and lots of sex. Great for both strength and cardio.

Or... or go with Aki's regime.

I like the first idea >w> *eyes Carrot*

Ive always been a heavy, but as a doctor once put it, no matter my weight Id always be otherwise 'big'. Huge, taller than most girls, size 11 men's shoe, and planet sized boobs. xD

Though it doesnt activley show, Ive been loosing weight mostly by cooking things for myself. I dont know about your situation, but I cook for the family (chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, cream corn), then step aside and try my best not to gouge myself on that food, and make something for myself. (rice, small bits of lean chicken or pork, lots of chopped up veggies).

Its really a mental, and lifestyle change. Exersizing will help you feel better and more cheerful in general, and eating the right foods will give you energy to think clearly and not feel bloated or lethargic. I really wish you the best on this. <3 Sorry I dont have a big tube for you. 3:

XD I'm built to be a lot smaller actually. I'm 5'5" and my sister who's super active is a B cup and super skinny. But my mom, who's never been active, is really heavy and has E-cup boobs :( I'd rather lean to my little sister's side of the scale honestly.

That's a good idea though :o Got some specific recipes I could try out? <3 I like cooking so it'll be easy for me to do this c:

xD What does your sister do to keep fit? You should look around, Id imagine Florida is a pretty active community, being so sunny and stuff. Join a local jogging club or something!

Also I DO oh man here they come:

The point to most of these recipes is moderation, and quality. Enjoying what youre making is great, and if you actually spend time to make it, you appreciate it more than just nuking up some easy mac. Some of my favorite recipes are...

.... Ill skype you them so they dont take up the whole journal. :3 xD

She rides two or three horses for several hours each day, plays lacrosse and field hockey for her high school, and jogs daily. xD I...can't possibly be that active, especially considering I have a job.

So I'm gonna start jogging around the neighborhood about an hour each day and eventually save up for a bike to start doing that alongside the jogging c: I'm also gonna do sprints in our backyard with Carrot but I hate running so blehh xD

And our area of Florida is all old people 8C so there aren't a lot of active communities in the area, there's a couple of shady looking gyms but I'm too shy and poor to go to those xD

No. More. Nutella. :C

SHUT UP

I stopped eating Nutella a month ago x3 Haven't had any since the beginning of April. I'm going to be cutting out chocolate starting tomorrow, since it'll be the first of the month.

Have you gone into detox yet? Probably a good idea. D:

+ moar protein
- Carbohydrate

If you're not omgsuperduperactive carbohydrates are pretty bad for you. You need to exercise quite alot to get rid of those. So try eating less of those.

Protein is really good, so eat moar meat and fish and stuff. Or try finding those like protein drink things too perhaps!

And drink alot of water. Alot. Try to make it one of the only things you drink. ;_; (this part really sucks if you're addicted to soda like i am ;_;)

<i should probably follow this advice myself rofl.


But don't ever feel down about weight loss and stuff. It sucks and what works for one person won't work for someone else. I don't really eat unhealthily. I just eat at random times and i NEVER drink water. So thats the reason i'm not slim or whatever.

Swimming is good exercise if you live near or have a pool, since you're exercising everything when you swim C:


I'm 5'0 and yeah i'm not skinny or slim. I'd like to be but i really can't break my bad habits of soda ;.; So i envy you for being alot more motivated than i am XD Soda is just omg ;_;

But Bee! Only lose weight if you want to, and if it will make you happier. C:

Yeah I can't drink soda much anyways cuz of my kidneys xD I mostly drink water, Gatorade, and juice.

We don't live near a pool I don't think but I can definitely start running c: And I just got a bunch of sweet recipes from Majorra that include lots of protein, so I'll be trying those out :D Thanks!

Note me anytime! :3 I'd love to swap some recipes!

I can't stand tofu @.@ So I won't be touching that, haha. What's quinoa?

Try this diet i'm having right now:

I'm only drinking tea, coffee, juice and water. So if there is any sugar cravings, juice will have to do.

For food wise, i recently stopped the vegetarian since it usually being too oily was not doing well.
I'm just focusing now on lesser carbohydrate and more protein.
Breakfast = eat the most, Lunch = eat moderate, Dinner = eat less. Of course, no supper.

Chocolate wise, i'm consuming plain 70% chocolate, apparently just eating for pieces would make me feel guilty already without all the nuts and other ingredients in.

Excercise:
Take up a sport, I'm in Archery now. Since my previous Taekwondo lessons got my parents worried from the fractures and KOs. and my previous Krav Maga lesson and Skating lessons too.
If your family and friends are alright with you getting hurt, have a go at combat sports, since it burns a lot of calories; train your mind; and that weird part of time slowing down when sparring... and self defence.. quite a lot of benefits in my point of view.
(crap, now you know i'm a combat person)

I might have to quit Archery soon, so I'll just exercise by brisk walking or something, if someone got shot (in the knee) or something. :\

I'd like to take up a sport. :C I miss horseback riding a lot; that exercised everything and kept me really in shape...but it's an expensive thing to get into, and I don't have the time for it right now. x.x Alternatively I'd love to play field hockey again but once more, it's not really a big thing around here.

I'm probably gonna take up biking and running mostly. That ought to help c:

I don't feel like reading everyone elses comments but I mentioned your diet to Jason. He said be careful when cutting your calories down. The amount you plan on eating is going to put your body in starvation mode. That's okay for burning fat very fast on a short period of time(which is why he's doing his 900 calorie diet) but over a long period of time, your body will think it's starving and it'll instead start SAVING all of the fat it can get. Once you've reached a decent weight, gradually increase your calorie intake to a more normal level, and be sure you're burning the calories you're taking in to keep your body from doing exactly the opposite.

This is what Jason does. 4-5 small meals a day. Pre-planned meals so that he can count every single calorie going in to his body. Sugar/calorie free only drinks. Lots of vegetables. Fresh veggies are difficult since they go bad quickly so if you can't do that, frozen veggies are just as good. Just make sure you're buying something that's not slathered in a butter sauce or something ridiculous. Frozen food usually keeps the nutrition and can be kept for MUCH longer. Also allows you to buy in bulk. Cut out sauces. Eat more salads.

Here's a break down of some of the meals he's had lately.

This mornings break: Omelet "muffins". Eggs, frozen vegetables, and low calorie turkey deli meat, baked in the oven in muffin pans. The turkey is used as a muffin cup, so it cuts out fatty oil and adds flavor. Low in calories, high in protein, very yummy!

For lunch he had a simple sandwich. White bread(which isnt great. If you're going to eat bread, he suggests something with nutrition like wheat bread. White bread is just calories, no nutrition but I refuse to eat anything else...), lunch meat(we get our deli meat in pre-packaged 90 calorie servings from Walmart), lettuce, horse radish(as opposed to mayo which has more calories), tomato, pickle. Small, light, and pretty low calorie.

Dinner from last night: Chicken breast baked with lemon pepper, paprika, garlic salt. These seasonings dont have any calories. The specific chicken we get is Harvestland or something like that from Walmart, and they come in pre-packaged, frozen pieces, which again, is awesome since they dont go bad as quickly. They're very juicy and yummy. This is coming from someone who used to HATE chicken. Serve with a few sides of veggies. Broccoli is good with a little salt on top. Skip the butter. Jason has a salad with Italian dressing(15 calories per serving). He got a new vinaigrette or something thats only 5 cal per serving but he prefers the italian flavor more. The key here is to actually measure the serving and not just squirt whatever.

Hope that helps. c: I also have a bike that you can borrow if you want. It's REALLY rusty and dirty but if it's washed off and the tires pumped, I think it'll work just fine. I rarely use it. I want to bike more but we dont really do it anymore.

I love you guys ;w;

I had no idea about the calorie thing - that's really good to know. D: I might take you up on the bike thing until I can buy my own...if it's not so rusty that it won't fall apart, that is. xD We have an air pump for the tires.

I already eat whole wheat bread; I refuse to buy anything else xD We buy the honey wheat kind that LOOKS like white bread but tastes like whole wheat and has a lot fewer calories (according to my mom, I trust her so I just keep buying the same thing I always bought...might switch to the brown kind if it looks like it has fewer calories though). The sandwich thing is a good idea, I don't eat even that many toppings on it, so just a sandwich and a pickle makes a decent meal for me.

That chicken sounds delicious. :C Think you could get him to write out a recipe for me? I've been collecting them and scribbling them down in a notebook so I can start planning my meals that way. I LOVE chicken. I got a really good recipe for low-calorie fajitas too; if you guys want to get together some night soon I'll make them c:

I don't like most sauces, dressings, or dips. One thing I actually was planning on making more often now is rice - plain sticky rice with Old Bay seasoning on top is delicious as fuck. And Jake really likes rice balls, so I'll be making him some plain ones and making myself ones with tuna and light mayo filling. :9 Mmm.

Thank you so much. Your walls of text are always so helpful <3

The chicken is the easiest one xD There isn't really a recipe but I suppose we have cooking times. Let's see.

Buy chicken: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Boneless-.....easts/14244825

Take out one frozen chicken breast. Defrost. Bake at 420 for 24 minutes in a pan covered with tin foil. Once time is up, open stove. Is it sizzling? No? Leave it for a couple more minutes. Once it's sizzling, take it out. Cut it in half to make sure it's fully cooked.

Cut into bite sized pieces. Season to taste with paprika, garlic salt, lemon pepper. Mix it all up(should be really juicy if cooked right, so you should mix to get flavor all over). Serve! For two people.

It sets a serving size at 4 oz but we don't measure cuz we're lazy. Unfortunately they're not precut, it's just the whole breast. They leave you to figure out portions on your own.

Also, Jason says he loves fajitas and when I mentioned us getting together for some he says "MMM!" which is more than his usual "mhm" so xD I say he approves. Any idea how many calories per serving? He's going for 300 or less per meal.

XD I'm glad he's so enthusiastic! <3

I'm not sure exactly how many calories, but I DO know it's a weight watchers recipe. It looks like their point system is a fat versus fiber calculator as well as a calorie calculator, so 100 calories equals one point, and then -1/2 a point for fiber. It's complicated.

It's 4 points the way they make it but my recipe is slightly tweaked (marinade is a little different; all spices for the marinade are calorie-free, and no extra spices are added during cooking). I also plan to use whole-wheat tortillas and fat-free condiments (salsa and sour cream). Hopefully it's okay for him to eat it :C

I don't know if he'd eat it if he didn't know the calories. D:

There's probably a way to calculate the calories in points and stuff. I just donno how.
