Pretty good motivation
I never really ate fast food too much, but I would grab a quick snack wrap or small hamburger at McD's if I just HAD to get something on the road. However, I tried to watch "Supersize Me" recently and about 20 minutes into it, when Morgan Spurlock is on his 3rd day, I just couldn't watch it anymore. I felt so sick. Ugh!…

Work-out songs
Does anybody have any good recommendations for some pumped-up music I could download for my ipod? I am about maxed out on the stuff I listen to, and as much as I make playlists, I still have the occasional incredibly s-l-o-w song that comes on which is not optimal for intense work-outs (nothing says calorie burn like…

How do you keep from getting obsessed?
I've been doing really good with my calories and workouts but a small part of me feels like I'm getting obsessed. If I go a little over my calories I freak out even knowing that I didn't gain weight from going 25 calories over! I am so afraid of gaining weight and I feel like I need to even myself out some. How do you keep…

Starving College Student...
Hi everyone! So, I came back to college about 4 weeks ago and the class schedule truly messed up my eating habits. Most days I have class until 10 pm, so I miss out on having dinner or any snacks.

When was your 'rock bottom'?
I'm always curious to hear people's stories about when they decided to turn things around and stick to it. The similarities between food addiction and, say, a drug addiction, is sort of fascinating to me. You'd think rock bottom for me would have been when the doctor told me at sixteen I wouldn't live to see thirty if I…
