  • I love show! I have all the episodes. The Assanti Brothers in Season 6 are my favorite episodes (2 part series). I’ve learned after watching so many episodes, these individuals have suffered so much in life. Their weight is often a side effect of something else. They’ve been abused, neglected, hurt and bullied. They’ve…

  • Completely support this. This is YOUR journey. This is YOUR life. Many people will have differing opinions. If it works for you, stick to it. Wish them luck with their journey.

  • I read a lot of these rants. I then realize I annoy people one way or the other. The thing is, I don’t really care. It’s hard enough to just get to the gym after a full day of work. Life is hard enough. I’m totally okay with annoying people at the gym.

  • Not to be rude, but it doesn’t sound like your breakfast and lunch routine is actually working for you. I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times that breakfast is an extremely important. There are many things — a grilled chicken breast, hard boiled egg or cottage cheese are many of my go-to’s. And, nothing wrong with…

The preservatives, sugar/sodium and minimal nutrient content can be sabotage your diet in so many ways. - Consider beans (kidney, black, lentils, etc...) that can provide…

  • It’s never consistent what happens to me. Sometimes I get cravings, while other times I lose my appetite. The key is being prepared. Research and try healthy snack foods. Have them ready in the fridge since you consistently have this issue at the same time each month. It doesn’t work for everyone, but I just stopped buying…

  • I, too, had a terrible sugar addiction. Cold turkey didn't work for me. I found it heightened my cravings because of the awareness and I would binge for days following. We're all different and I'm not here to criticize anyone or be criticized. Here are some things that helped me... While I'm not diabetic, I often find that…

  • Don't forget that you are going there for you. Try your hardest to completely forget about everyone else. I often attended a zumba class, but have switched to a cycling class recently. A lot of people (men + women) would not come to the zumba class or leave once it started because they felt anxious about not knowing the…
