setbacks. [164]

Gosh, the days are flying by. It seems like yesterday I was in the 170s, and now I’m already in the low 160s. Yikes. Today was definitely a setback. Some how I’m up .8 of a pound and I don’t really know how that happened? I didn’t eat tons yesterday AND I worked out. It’s just a little frustrating, I’m so ready to get back in the 220 range and my body just will...

I deserve to be happy. My happiness will come from...

Limiting myself to 1400-1500 calories now.

1,500 is my daily goal :)

Day Three-A picture of your thinspiration. What...

I guess I’ve never really thought of a single person as thinspiration. So that’s a good question. I guess I’d have to say that Blake Lively is a great thinspiration. She’s skinny, but she has curves. (I mean, dang, look at her boobs.) She’s just one of those people I have a girl crush on! She’s beautiful, in my opinion, and she doesn’t look scary thin or...

My goal is to hit 230 by the end of the week.

Do you think I can do it?

"Don't give up, it's just the weight of the...

sizingdown asked: <3 thank you dear! I love finding people who have similar starting weights as me! It's so encouraging, especially since most of the weight loss tumblrs I find are super pro ana or whatever. Anyway, keep up the good work, girl! I'm excited to follow you and all see your progress! We got this :)

creatingconfidence-: I want to be soft. I want to have hips. I want to have a butt. I want to have BOOBS! AMEN! You tell it girl.

weekends are usually bad for me. [165]

‘Sup guys? I have found so many new blogs to follow and I’ve gotten so many new followers! So thank you and hello to the new folks :) You guys will help me get through this! Teamwork, yeah! Today was such a hectic day for me. I had so much homework to do! So I woke up early and got pretty much all of it done. I even managed to work out for half an hour. In related news, I finished...

goingthinforfashion-deactivated asked: Oh, I understand what you mean! I used to follow these girls who were like, "I'm size one, I MUST be a size double zero by Christmas!!!" And I was sitting there thinking, I would love just to be a size *eight* again, you know? They were so negative too. They would post, "I slipped up and ate 300 calories for today!! I might as well kill myself!" It was just terrible, and...

simply-multifaceted asked: We have similar starting weights, and I really agree with your post about healthy dieting and not fitting into societies expectations. Good luck with reaching your goal weight, I'm sure you'll reach it! =D x

Reblog if you're a weight-loss tumblr, so I can...

priceofperfection: simply-multifaceted: I second this. Haha these gifs are perfect! I’m a weight loss blog :)

Day Two-How tall are you? Do you like your height?

I’m 5’9”. When I was in fifth grade I was 5’8”. I’ve only grown an inch in 8 years haha. I like my height. I wish I was 5’10”, but what can you do? Height isn’t something you can change. Weight, however, is. Day One-Your stats Day Two-How tall are you? Do you like your height?

horrific. [day 166]

This morning I was creepin on Tumblr for some good weight loss blogs to follow so I can share more things with you guys instead of just posting about my day. And I found some pretty good ones, of course :) But then I found some really scary ones. Blogs that talk about trying to be underweight and eating only 800 calories a day. Blogs that are clearly sending the wrong message about weight...

Day One-Your stats.

Alright, guys, I’m going to do a 30 Day Weight Loss Challenge :) Starting Weight: 240 lbs. Current Weight: 232.4 lbs. Goal Weight: 180 lbs. Ultimate Goal Weight: 170 lbs. Days Left: 166 Total Weight Lost So Far: 7.6 lbs. Day One- Your stats.

If you are a HEALTHY weight-loss Tumblr, reblog! I...

Hear, hear! Healthy weight loss!

change time! [167]

Hi guys! I know it’s a bit later of a post. Usually I’ve been posting early in the morning talking about previous days. Instead of posting in the morning, I’ve decided to post at the end of the day. So I’m not talking about the previous day like I’ve been doing. …Did that make sense? Probably not… Moving on. When I gave blood the other day, I was...

the importance of giving blood. [168]

It sure does seem like 167 days is a long way to go, but the truth of the matter is that those days are going to slip by so crazy fast. I mean, they pretty much already are. Yesterday, I wound up giving blood. I wasn’t planning on it, but it happened. I was standing outside of our student center when a couple blood drive people came out and asked us to donate blood. I’m not against...

scrumtralecent asked: Thanks for the help. My only real big thing is to find times in the day to dedicate to doing this sort of stuff. I not only have classes everyday, but I have work, theater rehearsal, and nightly clubs/commitments. It's also hard to live in the dorms and have a meal plan, because the food is so limited, with the only healthy option being salad, which gets boring fast. I just need to find times...

scrumtralecent asked: So what kind of stuff have you been doing to lose weight, like specifics? I'd love to try and do what you are doing if it's working so well for you! :)

the first five. [169]

Good morrow, Tumblr! Today is Wednesday and it is most definitely hump day. With the way my scheduling works out, Mondays and Wednesdays are my longest days. But as soon as Wednesday is over, the rest of the week flies by. Just gotta get through this extra long day. Really, I just want to back to bed. Buh. As some of you might have read one of of my questions asked, I completed my first...

abitofsilliness asked: Just saw that you're taking your first Zumba class tonight! I'm SO excited for you!!! Zumba is my favorite way to burn calories and is really the only kind of workout that I look forward to every.single.time. I hope you have a great instructor and have a WONDERFUL time! :)

the key is to not get discouraged. [170]

Yesterday was an off day for me. I was really tired all day and couldn’t find the motivation to workout at all. Granted, you should always take a break from working out (to give your body time to recover) so I decided to do homework instead. Terrible, I know. That’s a joke. Homework is always a good thing to do. Especially in my case haha. I went about my normal day and ate...

the beginning of the end. sorta. [171]

Alright, team. Today was the day that I turned in my ISEP application. It’s officially in the hands of Hendrix College and, unless I get an email from a Mrs. Anna Murphy in the study abroad office, it will be sent off within the week. I’m a little nervous, not going to lie. I only put two locations on the site request sheet. I was supposed to put three. But I’m pretty...

application: check. [172]

Hihi! I’d like to start of saying THANK YOU for all of the people following me. I had no idea I’d have such a positive response so soon after starting the blog. Thank you guys for following and I really appreciate the support. You’re going to help me accomplish my goals, I know it. Yesterday was a flurry of trying to get my ISEP application done. ISEP is the International...

scrumtralecent asked: I'm so excited to follow your experience! I am also trying to lose weight (i'm starting around the same weight as you!) and I am studying abroad in the UK during fall quarter this year! I hope we can both achieve our goals! my study abroad blog is scotlandadventures.tumblr.com if you want to follow me :)

abitofsilliness asked: Hey! I'm excited to be following you for TWO reasons:
1. I'm also on a journey to try to lose weight...some of which I lost AND gained back last year. I know the frustration of being close to a goal then letting it slip from your grasp. But, we can also look at ourselves as our OWN inspiration because we've felt how it feels to be thinner and know how great it is! :)

architectect asked: You legit inspire me.

audriejane asked: yes we absolutely should

audriejane asked: "I live in a small town with not a lot of people I can hangout with. So the summertime gave me a perfect opportunity to go to the gym everyday for hours a day. Which is precisely what happened."

this is my god damn life.

belikeapebble asked: MOM! get it! please keep up the good work. I'm going to get you as much support as I can with positive vibes whenever I think of you! I love you. (maybe I should start a blog as well...but about the complete opposite...)

healthyplz-deactivated20110221 asked: Okay, so this is the anon asking for your height. :P I decided to go ahead and start my blog. RIGHT NOW. :D

Anonymous asked: Hi there! I'm about to start my weightloss journey as well. I'll be making a new account and I'll follow you from there and whatnot. But I was wondering what your height is, so I could compare myself better. :P

an introduction. [173]

My name is Mauren Kennedy. I’m a second semester sophomore at Hendrix College. I’m a little on the tall side at 5’9”. I’m 19 years old, and an English-Film Studies major and an Art minor. A year ago, I started a weight loss journey. I looked like this: At 270 pounds, I was the biggest I’d ever been. I hated my body and was disgusted with the way I...
