Motivation, please!
Hi there, I've been gaining and losing weight for my entire adult life. The only time I ever saw any real progress was when I developed an actual eating disorder. I need some motivation now. I'm up to 215, my heaviest, and don't actually believe that I'll be able to lose weight (I'm 37 and weight is so hard to lose now) or…

What Is Your Weight Loss Blessing Today?
I rolled out of bed and trotted down the stairs this morning to let the dog out, and at the bottom of the staircase, it just hit me like a brick. I am so grateful to be able to go down the stairs without a death grip on the handrail on one side, and a hand pressed firmly to the wall on the other for support, without…

I've lost over 110 LBS!!
It was simply by hard work!! No fads, no gimmicks, (these things may LOOK GOOD on ads, but the reality of them never work out long term). I cut back my calories, I tracked all of my food, I started off so slowly with exercise because when you weigh 288 lbs it's NEVER EVER EASY!! Now I am at 175 (BYE BYE 113 lbs!) What did…

10 months ago...
10 months ago, I stepped on the scale and made myself sick. I knew I needed to change before then, but seeing that number did it for me. I immediately changed everything.
