All of this is so important. Talk to people, family, friends, us on here. Make sure they know whats going on and can help you when you need it. Don't be afraid to be honest about it, thats the only way to fight it. If you can get counselling try, it can make such a big difference for mental stability. Whatever it is you…

Keep doing it for yourself, and maybe he'll see you doing it and be more motivated to keep up. Maybe try getting rid of the sugary/sweet snacky stuff for the initial few weeks, that might help if its not easy access. Or if not then just focus on yourself! It's nice to have the support of a partner doing the same thing, but…

Grew up playing games with my brother. Console and PC. Big fan of Skyrim, Dragon Age, Destiny, just started the Witcher 3. Sometimes I play Ocarina of Time on my DS, when my 4 year old isn't using it.

Hey everyone -I'm in BC, Canada, and going to Goodlife Fitness (if that helps?). There is one trainer in particular that works at my gym that I'm interested. She's a certified trainer as well as an IFBB pro competitor. Plus she's tall like I am, which to me is an appealing factor. I've talked to a few people that train…

Of all the bars I've had Kind are my favourtie. Lots of good flavours, no weird textures, not overly sweet. Or maybe try doing some home made?

Lots of other people have said it but try to weigh yourself at the same time and place everyday. That'll give you the most consistent numbers. I do it every morning when I get up, before I eat and dress and after using the toilet. Your weight will fluctuate a few pounds for many reasons.

Cats!

Good place to start! Lots of help and support on here :)

Definitely been there. About 3 years ago I was in great shape, working out and eating well. Then life happened and I gained about 30lbs. I'm back at the beginning of again, about 2 weeks into my "lifestyle change" and its hard. I have days where I'm upset that I let myself get this way, and days where I feel lean and…

The Jillian Michaels work outs are fantastic (or so I believe). They worked great for me last time, and as you build your strength you can keep up with them better. I just recently discovered Fitness Blender on YouTube, they have a ton of great work out videos as well at different levels and different types.

Hey! In the same boat. Making healthy life changes - eating better, real food. Lots of home made stuff to cut out the processed crap. Making an effort to be active every day (walking), and making sure I work out at least 4 times a week (cardio, or weights, or a mix of both). It's hard, there are days when you don't want to…

Congratulations! That is amazing. I know how eating healthy and taking care of yourself can have a bit impact on mental health as well as physical health. I've had issues with anxiety the past few years and the last few months I've noticed a big difference after eating well and making sure I work out regularly. Whatever…

Good for you! Anybody that bashes you down for making positive changes in your life is just an ignorant *kitten*. Keep up the good work eating healthy and getting those daily walks in. It may seem small at first but it can definitely make a big difference. :)

Happy birthday!

Hi there. I'm looking to lose about 25lbs, close to what you're aiming. Maybe we can work together?

I'm looking for a mentor. Just recently got back on here and am looking for some help/support to get myself back where I used to be. The last few years have had some challenges and changes in my life. I moved, got a new awesome job which is good. But I also had a very sick aunt for almost a year (she's better now…
