Will I ever feel comfortable with how I look no matter how "
I am starting to think I am never going to feel confident, sexy, or stop thinking that people are staring at me thinking I am "too fat"! I just want to be healthy and comfortable in my own skin. Does anyone else feel like this? I have changed my goals 4 times because I get close to that goal and start thinking I still have…

Looking for a good role model
A few of the ladies at work have posted pictures in their cubicles of their 'body role models' recently. I'm quite a bit taller than these ladies, but thought hanging a picture of a positive role model would help motivate me as well. Do any of you know of a taller, curvier, healthy role model I could use as inspiration?…

Let HER be your motivation!!
I think ALL women are guilty of this little accusation... but I will be the first to admit it! I've found myself many times staring with envy (and at times anger) at that beautiful woman in the gym that catches everyone's attention. (Not just the men.) You know the one... she has the perfect body, a golden tan, and smile…

I think I found my motivation again!
So I started strong in Sept 2010, lost 21 lbs and stopped working out around the busy holidays and was struggling with motivation.
