For me it's very much mental, unless I'm injured or really sick. I spent a year and a half with on and off injuries and just started gettin back into things around the beginning of this year. I run at a nearby park and the smaller loop there is about 1.4 miles...I'd been walking/jogging mostly, doing 2 or 3 laps. So I made…

I absolutely love this.

This is amazing.

That's me too often...whether it's relationship problems or something at home, I unintentionally shoot for the junk. I'm happy to talk, feel free to message me if it helps!

Hang in there! Are you eating enough? I know that sounds weird, but that could be a problem...

I have to watch talking about my weight loss too...I get excited and my family definitely doesn't want to hear about it 24/7!!

Same stats here! My goal weight is about 120-125. I have a lot of muscle so it may be higher, but I want to fit back into my size 3/4 clothes and get the extra pressure off my knees!

I know you pee out Vitamin Bs...and I think C...But not everything so be careful!

I'm a good bit younger, but I fully understand how you feel... we live in a society that tells women to love their bodies...yet shows them that the only bodies worth loving are size 0 and curvy in all the right places. I am here too because I want to finally be able to say "let's go swimming!" Rather than finding every…

I'm so glad to hear it's not just me...there's been a few times where I've come close to doubling my calories one day (so embarassing)....and I'm eating healthy food but nothing makes me feel satisfied.

I'm 20 and went up and down for the last couple years. Add me please!! Looking to finally get down to a healthier weight!

Feel free to add me too!

Oh that sounds awesome! Anyone is free to add me too :)

Feel free to send me a friend request! Anyone really :)

That is SO true. My family always ate relatively healthy and my biggest challenge has been controlling emotional eating and learning that I can't eat like my dad does on a regular basis...and dessert is a treat not part of the meal. Very well said though!!

I don't even know what to tell you to say...I would be so angry!

Feel free to add me too! :)

Yay! I'm 20 btw :)

I do!

I do!

Hey! I'm finally getting a handle on eating normally too...was anorexic (not to the point of eating 100 cals a day...but I'd eat about 1,000 and burn off something like 2500 daily)...And anorexia seemed to turn into binge eating....not easy to just "east food" for me :(

That's awesome! Good job!!

Quest bars aren't terrible, but they're one of many many products containing Sucralose (not all do, but some), which is starting to show some really negative effects...I recommend the Oh Yeah! Victory bars...very similar, but better ingredients :)

That's sooo important!! I'll send you a request!

Boy does that sound like me! I was doing so well for WEEKS, then between work, a trip with a friend, and a death in the family all that hard work has not been working...

My parents keep tons of food in the house And lots of junk...and my boyfriend isn't usually very healthy, although I've been very slowly influencing him! My boyfriend has come to accept it, and usually is willing to budge on things, but my parents not so much. Maybe just enjoy a little beer, or try making your own healthy…

I've never been married, but I know exactly how you feel! I've been irish dancing for over 10 years and it was a hobby for the longest time. Now I've decided to work harder at competing, and possibly try to use my experience with my exercise science degree once it's completed. Making that decision really helped me to put…

I used to really struggle with binge eating (and still do, but not as strongly)....and I made a bad habit of not eating much at all for most of the day (at school or work) to save my calories for a big dinner...then I ended up finishing off TONS of candy and chocolate, ice cream, chips....random stuff too, like a ton of…

This is an amazing book! It was such a relief to read...I finally realized "okay, I'm not crazy...other people have these issues....and they can be solved!"

More friends are always good!
