  • Coming from someone who is 6'0" and for most of my life was the tall, fat girl... Tell your daughter to wear her height proudly and always carry herself with confidence! She may feel like she's Gulliver caught in the land of Lilliput until she reaches high school, but she needs to know that it's OK. One day all the other…

  • I was in the same position. But I found freedom in realizing that of all the things I can't control in my life (family, friends, job, car troubles, etc.), there will ALWAYS be one thing I can control, and that's what I do with my body and what I put in it. I encourage you to think of the great things you imagine yourself…

  • Government subsidies on corn, wheat and other crops are major contributors. They make the prices of certain foods artificially low and discourage farmers from growing healthier crops. This and other contributing factors are discussed in the HBO documentary, the Weight of the Nation. Quite a sobering look at the nation…
    in Why is it cheaper to eat unhealthfully... Comment by MoiraCunningham August 2012
  • Yes! This equates to about 2 pounds a week, which is a healthy rate and attainable. I lost 60 lbs between November 2011 and May 2012, so I am living proof that this goal is not too crazy!

  • zipfizz! www.zipfizz.com It comes in little tubes that you mix with 16-oz bottles of water. Comes in Berry, Citrus, Grape, Orange Soda, and Pink Lemonade. It has only 10 calories per tube, ZERO sugar and tons of vitamins. The orange flavor tastes like a creamsicle with a splash of coffee creamer or milk. :smile: I buy mine…

  • Seconhand stores are a must, and if you have a consignment shop nearby I recommend a wardrobe swap! The other day I visited a consignment store and brought in my too-big-clothes, received store credit that I used to buy clothes that actually fit and didn't have to spend a fortune! Dresses/skirts are also very flexible and…
    in Are you wearing workout clothes all day? Comment by MoiraCunningham May 2012
  • I'm just a hair under 6'0" and my goal is 160-165 (currently 171). Just enough to get me into that next size down in jeans and have a flat stomach again!
    in Any tall ladies out there? Comment by MoiraCunningham May 2012
  • It sounds like you might need to change up your routine. I'm at a similar plateau, having lost ~40 lbs already with 15-20 to go. Just in the last two weeks I've found that I need to work harder to achieve the same results each week. Which is really just a GREAT sign that my body has reached a new level of fitness. I've…
