  • Last night, I made a spaghetti and meatball meal for my weekly meal prep and didn't use a recipe. I'd really been craving it but couldn't find a recipe that fit well with my calories, so I decided to make one up. This might not seem like a big deal, but I was elated because I had never taken the time to learn how to cook…

  • First of all, SO pumped for you. Reaching those milestones is just the best. :smile: I had a moment last month where I hit 30 pounds lost, and for some reason, it felt anticlimactic.

  • I always hesitate before sharing advice, since just because it worked for me doesn't mean it would work for anyone else, but your post really resonates with me. I struggled with binge eating for as long as I can remember and was obese for my whole teenage/young adult/adult life. I tried more dieting programs than I could…

  • For the past six months, I've been taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator. I always dreaded having to walk to the third floor because it left me feeling out of breath and light headed. I was so frustrated for the longest time because it never got any easier, but I kept at it. Today, for the first time, I got to…
