But life happened and I wasn't able to go to the gym so I tried workout videos like insanity and stuck with it for a month before I quit. Then my eating went down the drain and I gained maybe 10-20 pounds…

Would like to meet some vegans! My name is Lizzie, I'm 23 and I live in England. There's less than 2% of England who are vegan so this is going to be a bit tricky for me but I'm determined! I've started my journey as a vegan today after cutting out dairy for the last 6 months. If you're a vegan and would like to share diet…

Is it possible to not lose the girls?
I don't really have much to lose there, unfortunately. It really seems unfair, what's the point in being fat if you don't get big boobs? Just to put it in prospective: CW: 325lbs Bra Size: 44C let that sink in. That pretty much is flat chested for a big girl. No hate on the small chested fit women, but it looks…
