  • Love the support I'm getting and the positive words I can give other people. Let's keep it up guys and gals and inspire each other to finish this out. To being healthy and strong!
  • I used to hate my hair and now I really love it. I'm an Irish brunette with curly hair. I love how it looks with my pale skin and my green/blue eyes. I always joke that I'm so pale I'm see-through, but wearing sunblock has really payed off-no forehead wrinkles! Thanks Grandma for all the advice and thanks Aveda for helping…
  • Hmmm. I've been doing the no processed food sugary stuff and it seems to be working. I've only been doing this for about three days and there's been a couple times i've ginen in, but tonight I turned down a piece of lemon pound cake. I LOVE lemon pound cake with cream cheese frosting. I could probably eat half a loaf if…
  • Way to go! So nice to see all the success stories and feel like this time it will actually happen. :happy:
  • Oh wow! Let me just say I started crying because my experiences were so similar and they have left me feeling so bad about myself that I have believed for the longest time that I have no worth. Kindergarten-I want a Barbie doll for my birthday so I can play with her hair. My dad thinks they are bad for girls because it…
  • Ugh! But i don't wanna face my stuff! Until I don't my life won't change.
  • If you're worried about it check with a medical professional. Also this person may have had problems with their joints, but you may not. It might be good to do some weight lifting with your cardio to strengthe the muscles around your knees. This can help to stabilize and strengthen your legs so you don't develop pain.…
  • Something that's really kind of basic and is helping me a lot is to shop around the outside of the grocery store and avoide the middle aisles with a few exceptions. Beans can be really good for a variety of recipes. Making your own soup and freezing it can save a ton of money when you bring it to work with you.Try to think…
  • Way to go! You are rockng the house!!!
  • Wow, that is so me. I've been struggling to do this for over a year between various programs and I just can't seem to get going. Maybe we can help motivate each other.
  • Me too! Let's kick some booty and get ourseves healthy and strong.
  • I understand completely what you mean about not getting support. I'm trying to be healthy, but my family has a tendency to purchase junk food and when I'm really angry the easiest way out is usually what I want. I'm trying to stop letting them get into my head and their junk into my stomach and on to my hips and thighs.…
  • Ugh I hate that feeling. Don't be discouraged. I don't like my picture taken either. It's not fun to look at a picture and feel embarassed and like on dislikes one's own body and self. It leads to a lot of self-loathing. Try finding one picture you like that you look and felt happy in. Use that picture to inspire you to…
  • The back of my arms is losing weight and I can see muscles in my arm. So amazing.
  • I am such an emotional eater it is ridiculous. Anything that makes me happy (food time) something that makes me cry (food time) when I get angry (food time). I have begun repeating the mantra healthy and strong to myself when working out so that it gets into my head. I'm trying to ask myself will this food make me healthy…
  • I'm game! I want 5lbs. gone by August!!! I want my health back and a 5lbs. weight loss goal seems like a good way to start. :)
