  • Not to be negative or anything but Jennifer Aniston's features probably also got more defined because she's like older now, and when you get older your face looses "baby fat" or whatever. lol. But anyway I lost like 15 lbs last semester and I look the same to me. ha ha. I will get back to working out this semester and hopefully lose another 10-15 lbs.
  • wow. i never thought about that(the getting older/losing baby fat thing)!! you're really smart! but ok...linsey lohan! have u seenhow much weight shes lost and she looks HOT now. i saw this magazine that was saying how jessica simpson and lindsey lohan are like, shrinking haha. and it had before and after pictures and oh my god. linsey lohan looks SO MUCH BETTER now. shes so hot. damn her.

    i dont know if this is a blessing or a curse, but even ONE POUND shows on me. if i lose a pound, u can tell. if i gain a pound, u can tell. this is going to osund REALLY not believable but it is SO TRUE: if i eat a LOT one day, my mom can tell the next day. like, seriously. if i eat three bagels today, tomorrow my mom will be like "your face is looking bigger today for osme reason..." and this is WITHOUT knowing what i ate! and thats REALLY shitty, but at the same time, my face shrinks really fast too. if i control my eatign and exercise for 2 days, on the third day, i look smaller.

    15 pounds in one semester is awesome, julie!! what did u do??
  • i was watching something with linsday lohan on it and she was talking about that magazine that has pictures of her and jessica simpson, and she said they digitally like widened her befores.... cause she looked HUGE in those pictures I was like she was never that size...
  • Yeah I want to have a much flatter stomach by this summer (beach week!), so I guess my goal is 10ish pounds. My weight is actually perfectly fine, it's the flab I want to get rid of. whatever, at least 5 pounds should do it with some ab workouts...I should stop talking to myself so much.

    Good luck everyone!
  • i kind of like how jennifer aniston looked before.
    i've been trying to to crunches every day, but i'm way too lazy and i always forget.

    yeah that's been my problem--and I don't have carpet in my room so it's not something that I can remember to do every night before bed, you know? I actually have to think about doing them...blegh.

    Actually it was kind of weird. It's too hard to go on a diet living in the dorms so at first I just ate like I usually do and started working out like 4 hours a week like cardio and lifting weights. And I could tell I was gaining muscle but I wasn't losing fat fast enough so I like stopped eating after dinner and only drank water after dinner and kept exercising. But I cut a lot of salt out of my diet and stopped eating like chips as much. So most of what I ate was fruit and pasta everyday, but no cream sauces on the pasta, lol.
  • i have to agree with amina that jen looks better now... but then again i think thats also cos she's gotten older... although sometimes when she smiles she looks very bland, whereas before her whole face smiled if you know what i mean?!?! i can't explain it.

    getting ill also makes you lose weight lol. i lost weight over xmas by being ill and i couldn't eat properly for like a week. a couple of those pounds came back but te others didn't.....

    amina i'm not being rude but how much do you weigh now?? cos you look amazing!
  • hahaha right now---this instant i weigh 118 sad.gif i DID weigh 114, my 3 pounds has gone up to 4 pounds for nor apparent reason. im VERY late...if i dont get my period soon im going to kick some ass. i gain about 2 pounds before my period and its gone by the 5th day. water retension, i guess. and it happens EVERY month, yet it keeps scaring the shit out of me. like, i have a heart attack every month even though i KNOW its just water retension....but theres just something about seeing those numbers on the scale that makes me crazy..


    and quick question: how often do u guys weigh yourself? i read that people that weigh themselves every day dont lose as much weight. but i ant help it!!! ive been doing it every day for the past 6 or 7 years. its a habit...i dont even think about it and there i am on the scale. and if i controlmyself one day and dont do it, i feel like, off balance all day. like, i dont know where i stand! its so annoying!!!


    but yeah: goal for thsi week: dont weigh myself ntil friday!
  • haha see u weigh NOTHING!!! lol

    how tall are u??

    last time i was weighed was the last time i went to a doctors office, hahaha... so i have no idea how much i really weigh, i just guess based on how well my clothes are fitting...

    THAT is the whole issue! if i was like, 5'5 and weighed 114 or even 118 id be happy. but im five feet!!! sarah michelle gellar is one inch taller than me and weigh 98 pounds. this used to make me do crazy things in an attempt to weigh 98 pounds, but then i realized everyone has a different body. my sister weighed 88 pounds when she got married and a year after she had her baby, she weighed about 115 and she looked realllllly chubby, and i wore a smaller size than her. now, she weighs 97 pounds and we wear the same size. i think i have heavy organs hahaha.

    the least ive weighed(at an adult age) is 109, and i stopped getting my period until i went up to 115 and stayed there for 5 months. my body is such a difficult bitch.

    i dont really have a problem with my numerical weight anymore, i guess.my sister always tells me "why do u care about the number when you look good?! people dont see the number, they see YOU!" so when i say i want to lose "weight" im ot talking baout the numbers really. I'm going to TRY and drp the numbers--and maybe since im doing it in a helathy way this time, i can weigh even less than 109 and not worry about hurting basic body functions.

    i just want to look more lean. i want to look BETTER. i think girls can never be happy iwth the way they look. ever. no matter what. i think even if i weigh 100 pounds and wear a double 0, i wont be happy. there will always be something else to fix, and something else to make better.

    i wonder if boys feel this way too...?
  • lol see you are so mad!!!

    sarah michelle gellar is SO SO SO petite i swear there is no room in her body for all of her body parts lol!!

    i know what u mean about the weight. i lost like 28 pounds (i guess it was like puppy fat or something) about a year ago and all my friends noticed but i couldn't tell. everyone was like "OMG you look so amazing, what did you do??" lol i was like ummm, noting haha. and since going on the pill like 9 months ago, i feel much fatter, even tho apparantly i havent put weight on on, i feel like my body fat has re-distributed itself to my belly haha... and ryan can tell my body has changed since like 9 months ago haha. but according to the scales i've probaby lost a couple of pounds. i hate scales. its ridiculous lol.

    anyway that whole paragraph was meant to be about guys body image but i forgot haha. yea ryan feels a little insecure about his body. he's a little chunky and thinks he has man boobs. he doesnt. he has a beautiful body, granted he has a belly, but its not like its FAT or disgusting, it looks fine but he's all like "yea i'm gonna join the gym and get rid of these man boobs and this beer belly" and i think he looks lovely. so i guess it hits some guys lol. but then i am biased because i looove him hahaha blink.gif i am stupid.
  • I agree about girls never thinking they look good. And it sucks because it's like... no girl can ever know what she actually looks like, because it's colored by her perception. And even how other people see you is colored by their perception. It's weird. And we're like so easily influenced by what other people say. Like my confidence level is hovering around normal at this point in my life, but if someone were to say I looked like crap or soemthing, no matter who they were or why they said it, I would probably believe them and self esteem would come crashing down.

    But yeah I want to weigh what Amina weighs and i'm like 5'6 and 1/2".

    sooo true... i always get so confused when people make comments about how skinny i am, 'cause i don't think i'm that skinny, i mean i know i'm not fat or anything, i just think i'm a normal sized girl...
  • lol darbie you're not skinny.... when i think skinny I think unhealthy and you look pretty healthy to me... well apart from being oh so pale tongue.gif
