I am at the higher side of a healthy BMI, and yet, when I’ve refused junk, carefully portioned out food, talked about the struggles of eating healthy, or worked out I’ve had people tell me that I didn’t need to because I wasn’t fat or was already skinny. I feel bad for misunderstood Nicky who chooses moderation when it…

I was hanging out with my brother and sister in law and made a comment about my face being fat. My brother laughed and said, “it’s not your face that’s fat.” That confirmation from him that I was fat helped me lose the first ten pounds. I lost a bit more after and I’m still working on the rest, but at this point I’m not…

I used to stress eat. I would binge till it hurt and I knew it was emotional eating but I didn’t know how to stop. I still occasionally stress eat, but I never binge anymore, and I’m able to stop much faster. Before I couldn’t think when I’d do this, I would just eat and feel stressed and then worse because I was binging.…

Anyone can add me:)

Running really helped me because it turns out I like to eat more food than my calorie limit allows without exercise, running burns things off easier (to me) than most other forms of exercise. I can't do much now because of a health issue that gets worse with any kind of stress including the good kind you put on yourself…

Glad I read this thread. I mean, I know that I gain weight before my period, but this is my first month on here consistently and I've been doing good so far. It would be easy to forget just how much of a difference that can make. I don't want to get frustrated OR end up restricting my calorie intake more the week…

If you are losing weight evenly you might not see the gradual difference. If you measure your tummy you'll be able to tell that it is getting smaller. As it was stated, you can't choose where the weight comes off, but if you keep losing then your tummy will shrink with the rest of you.

I drink one mug a day in the morning, every day. I agree coffee should be black, but mine is far from it lol I use 4 tablespoons of sweet cream creamer! Still, despite the added calories, I have a much easier time sticking to the diet when a start the day off with my sugary coffee.

Some of us suck at it the opposite way though. I have a natural tendency to overestimate the amount I'm eating when I'm dieting. I think these are the exact reasons it's good to go with what they suggest to start with. Then if you aren't losing the amount you're set to you know what problems to look for. Or you can then…

Anyone can add me. I'd really like some friends that are similar though. I'm 5'6.5" and 148 pounds. Looking to slim down to about 142 and then temporarily switch to maintenance and really focus on fitness. Maybe eventually go lower or maybe stay at about 140. Right now I'm set to lose 1/2 pound weekly. I'm working on…

I had no idea people cared this much either way about organic or non organic food. To be honest, I feel like in a way it is similar to some brand name products vs getting generic. There is a slight difference (whether good or bad, the difference is there) and for some people it's worth it to have the brand name. My mom has…

I used to have this problem every time I started running. I thought I just wasn't going to be able to until my brother explained to me that the efficiency of your lungs and heart improved faster than your bone density, but your bones do get stronger. So I had to slow down and give them time to strengthen. Now they almost…

Anyone can add me... as long as they actually want to be active friends :)

I'd like to join! I just started so I figure the first week I'll probably catch up to where I should be for the month because I'll lose extra water weight and such. Original starting weight -162 September starting weight -150 September goal -145 Ultimate goal -135 1st Sep-150 7th Sep-150 14th Sep- 21st Sep - 28th Sep-…
