Learn to recognize your triggers. It might be time of the day or a certain type of food or even a song. Recognize your triggers and actively do whatever you can to remove yourself from a situation where you might be triggered. Often, I realize I'm in a bad mood early enough to be able to do something to stop it, and I have…

Absolutely Moving Comfort, best for running or lifting or yoga. When I was a 36-38DD, the Juno was my favorite. Now at a 34B, I love their Rebound Racer.

Brooks! Brooks forever! My favorites are the Brooks Ghost. I'm a 4-year runner with wide feet and fallen arches - these are the best for me. A close second is the Saucony Ride.

In my experience, 2-3 weeks. After I injured my calf by over-training, it was about 1-2 weeks before I could even walk again on it properly (without looking like Smeagol) and 3 weeks before I really felt comfortable doing any light training.

Alright, I wouldn't do them all in one day, and I wouldn't do them all every single day, and here's why: Muscle groups need time to recover Okay, that's the only explanation I got lol I think what you ought do is designate one day for "upper body" (push-ups, bench dips), and the next day for "lower body"(squats, lunges),…

Hey! I'm 25-years-old and I've been on this site for about 4 years. I've lost 60 pounds since 2011 (slow and steady, I'm tellin ya) and I have about 20 left to go. I LOVE talking to people on here about fitness, exercise, nutrition, whatever. Shoot me a message or add me! Friends make this easier!

Oh, I definitely relate. After I lost my first 50 pounds, one of my girl friends (who I hadn't seen in about 8 months) said "You...look like you've been through chemo. Why are you doing this?" Aside from being wildly offensive to anyone going through chemotherapy (!), it hurt my feelings in a big way. I'd completely…

That's awesome! Congratulations on your hard work so far!

Accountability is definitely important! I'm definitely active on here and I love sharing exercise/food tips and advice :) Been using it for about 4 years now, and I've kept 60 pounds off so far (20-ish more to go)

1. Nope - they're different substances entirely. Fat cannot become muscle. 2. @thavoice has is right. "Starvation mode" isn't like people think it is. It describes a group of symptoms which can include (in some cases) decreased metabolic rate. If a person is actually starving, he or she will lose weight.

Changing my weigh-in days absolutely helped. When I changed mine to Monday morning, I stayed more responsible and consistent throughout the weekend. I'd say it's actually been a huge factor in maintaining my weight :)

I totally agree with the original poster. My ability to socialize has definitely dwindled since I started losing weight but it's been completely worth. I don't want to go out to restaurants or bars and eat/drink high calorie crap. I certainly don't want to be around people who discourage my effort, or encourage me to eat.…
