My personal tumblr is GreenStreetHooligann.
I'm 22 years old
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. Because of this, I keep a close watch on my simple carb intake, and it means my weight loss might be kind of slow. Because I have to kick major ass to lose weight
Check my pages for photos of me, personal posts, weight loss stats/goals. If you want to know something that isn't posted, just ask

Hey guys, can you help me out??
I had a friend come to me asking for workout DVD recommendations. The only one I know of is the 30ds, really, and I think she wants something easier than that to start off.
She’s morbidly obese and the only exercise she does currently is to walk once around a track 3 times a week. She’s looking for a way to ease into regular exercise, mostly. Does anyone have any recommendations? Please? Leave an answer or inbox me, please

I HATE DRESSES. These are the only 2 I really have right now. My boobs are too big for the first one and the second one is just frumpy. It looks like I’m going to have to go shopping for a new one for next month because these just annihilated my self esteem :(

Water retention is not my friend right now.
Criss, your honesty and your outlook never fails to inspire.Here’s another photo to illustrate my point. In the red dress (124 pounds), I had to subsist on a VERY low-carb, low calorie diet to maintain (50 grams of carbs or less, 1100-1300 calories a day). The minute I’d eat ANYTHING out with friends- be it a piece of cake, some Mexican with some friends, some chips and dip- I’d retain so much water that it’d cause me to gain a few pounds of water weight and bloat over night. I was also too weak to make much progress in my lifts, because I was eating too little. I’d cry when I gained any bit of weight or water weight, and I’d let whatever number the scale said set the tone of my day.
Let’s look at the picture on the right. In January, an old knee injury started to flare up again, causing me to halt my weightlifting progress briefly. As soon as I wasn’t active, though, my food habits slipped. It was the worst thing in the world at the time, but now I’ve learned- this is the way I’d like to live! I eat mostly by intution now. If I’m hungry, I eat, and who cares if I’m going to bed in two hours? I don’t think of things in calories or carbs, but just try my best to not over-indulge too much or too often in things like pizza or chips. I still eat my healthy stuff, but it’s a balance of things.
Guess what? Five months of eating this way, and my weight hasn’t budged past 132-134. I feel healthier these days, I’m able to enjoy life a little better, and I’m actually able to have more energy to perform better in the gym. No, I’m not super-skinny, but that’s the point of this! We get so freakin’ focused on numbers and silly beauty ideals- “I NEED to be 120 pounds, I NEED to be a size two, I NEED to not have my thighs touch”- that we forget we’re make pretty high demands on our body and emotional health here. Quit chasing perfection, quit trying to become so much skinnier than you actually are, and just worry about your health. Too much restriction is as bad for you as too little moderation. Instead, aim for a life of balance. :)
