Hard to Swallow
Like a lot of things that are sometimes really hard to swallow in life, I find brutal honesty with myself to be the hardest. I know that I have all the knowledge I need and the means in which to do something, but I kept fighting with myself about whether or not I could even do it. One hard day at work, I’d turn around and…

Highest Weight
I’m currently at the highest weight I’ve ever been in my entire life. It feels crappy. I told myself over the years I would never let myself get to 300. And here I am over 300 at 329lbs. I used to joke with my ex about if I ever get to 300 he should just shoot me. Looking back, that’s the worst coping humor I’ve ever used.…

Another weight loss program…ugh!

My injuries are healed now I just have to find the motivation to keep a going. I’m 65, and trying an 1800 calorie diet. I’ve lost 9 pounds in the last 4 weeks. This is great news, but I need…

Looking for balance
Hi everyone. I turned 50 this year and I’m tired. I’m tired of being so overweight that I can’t enjoy life the way I used to. I’m tired of not being able to do activities that I used to enjoy so much because I am morbidly obese but, I’m also tired of yo-yo and fad diets or diets that say, “eat a lot of this and none of…

I'm not feeling hungry throughout the day and I'm only eating between 12pm-8pm Should I expect this loss to slow down? I've…

Design Ideas Requested! What do you think of a waterproof-photo arrangement on a fountain?
I'm currently working on what I call a photo-fountain to celebrate how far I've come in my fitness. Basically imagine waterproof posters propped up on a fountain like this one.

When a Slip becomes a Slide
I need help. I need accountability. I have all the right intentions and then I slip. What’s worse is when the slip becomes a slide. I have the worst addiction to fast food. Hard day? Fast food for dinner. Tired? Fast food for dinner. Happy? Treat myself, fast food for dinner! I want to be a health nut so badly. I want a…

Hi 👋
Hi I’m Helen, I’m hoping to lose 140 lbs, but I have MS and my ability to exercise is limited, so I guess my calorie deficit will be 1,200 per day. I have recently taken up Qi Gong and do a little yoga. I put on weight over the past year or two and can feel it becoming a problem if I don’t keep it in check now. Cravings…

Restarting the Fitness Journey
Hello, I moved abroad during the height of covid in 2020 and put on about 30 pounds as a result of depression and social isolation in a new environment. Of course, food was one delivery order away so the pounds piled on. Now that I'm settled in and addressing my mental health, I've restarted the fitness journey and hope to…

Binge eating
Any tips or advice to avoid binge eating ? I do indulge in small treats that fit my calories most days, but there’s always that one day where I go nuts, realize what I did, and get upset with myself . It’s slowing my progress from losing 1lb a week to half a pound or to even no weight loss. It’s been a month of this…

What do you eat/drink while cooking dinner?
What do you eat while you cook dinner or do you manage not to snack/pick the entire time you're in the kitchen? Painting the picture: between 5-530pm when my workday is over, my spouse is picking up kids, and I have 30 minutes of silence to unwind and cook dinner has become a daily pain point. I have a mid-afternoon snack…

Craving/feeling hungry
I just got back into cutting calories and exercising. I had used MyFitnessPal previously and lost some weight (about 40 pounds) but have gained it all back plus some. This time around I am more hungry even after meals or a healthy snack of fruit or raw veggies. Any ideas on how to curb that and resist the urge to snack.
