I used to suffer from massive depression. I moved a lot as i went to college and eventually uni. I ate horrible my first year of school and gained i think total 50lbs. on a petite 5'4 frame it was very evident. the weight gain did nothing to help my depression. In 2013 I got serious about weight loss. I went from 178 (…

You can do this!! i was once at this point and suffering massive depression in a new city where i knew no one. Motivation is a fickle thing, its hard to get but once you have it, it keeps coming! as most people have said just try substituting little things to get you going. Personally, I enjoy looking at fitness motivation…

my alarm clock ( it says gym time), before bed I look at the berry app- under the daily motivation category and get pumped for my 5 am workout/or pinterest. preworkout and loud tunes. im motivated however, by not wanting to ever go above a size 10 pant ever ever again.

Omg I love this !!! The pants comparison at the bottom! Congrats to you both

Hello friend, first off I am so sorry you were fat shamed. my mother continues to do this to me despite the fact I went from a size 16 to now a size 8 (like really lady give your head a shake). at the same time maybe he dosnt view you that way and didn't know he was hurting you by saying this( if so ill kick him in the…

Im not getting married this year but weightloss has always been slow:) Setting a date for Oct 17th tho :)

Feel free to add me :) getting married oct 2017 !

Amazing transformation, this isn't "shabby" its amazing! You are glowing. :smiley:

workout everyday, eat more veggies, lift heavy things :blush:

this, calories theoretically are created equally. whether or not those calories are the right type for you is debatable.

^ my cousin makes bulletproof coffee on keto- adds coconut oil/butter. still creamy but high fat. I don't really know what to think of keto as shes focusing on only doing high fat, more so than protein, which imo, cant be good for organs.

Honestly, set two hours aside on a sunday and kick some meal prep butt. I very recently completed my uni degree, but I was a full time student in 6 classes working fulltime and juggling life but still managed to say bye to 20 lbs. In college, I packed on all my weight, I gained close to 50LBS! all because I was "to busy,…

First off- im so glad you beat cancers butt!!! I have a lot of friends around me who have cervical cancer and I can tell you the recovery isn't always easy. I was also told at 22 I would never be able to carry my own children, but for different reasons. it is a blow, but there are so many alternatives out there, you will…

I think for working out maybe you should look into HIIT style workouts as well (try youtube or google to get an idea), you mentioned time/family life balance getting in the way of working out. You enjoy food, now you just need to balance things differently. try eating things that will fill you in smaller meals, 6 a day…

Hinton, Alberta. Have lived previously in : Red Deer and Lethbridge. Goal being to move back to Red Deer

I always seem to forget about this post so here comes a wack: Engagement ring had to go from size 7.5 to 4.5 !!! Jeans are getting lose, almost ready to drop from 8 to 6 again :) ( started at a 14-12) i have baby abs squats are doing a booty good, no more cellulite and nice non jiggly thighs visible legs and arm muscles <3…

Today I am grateful because i woke up healthy, and in no pain.

I can relate. I'm 5'4 so the weight is def noticeable when I pack it on. I was always the bigger girl growing up, it bothered me. Flash forward to puberty and I got taller and grew out of it, than in high school I worked jobs on my feet all day 40+ hours a week and had the body I wanted. Three years ago, I went to college…

You want one with a chest strap, really the only way to track it properly. My personal favorite is the Polar FT4, theres an FT6 but a lot of extra features not what I need it for. Its pricey as most are but if you hit amazon on a sale day *ahem black Friday/cyber Monday* youll get a decent deal :)

amazing transformation :) congratulations!!! you look beautiful and much happier

pleeease do! also if someone can explain how to freeze the chicken for me that would be awesome!

My Costco musts: Razors+ Dove Soap (big pack) Laundry Soap/ Dishsoap at start of school year don't buy again For food: Lettuce Fresh berries- raspberries, blueberries Ground turkey ( think its a four pack and its normally under 20$) Ground beef- not really a beef eater but meh Tilapia from the frozen section Big thing of…

Welcome :) Please feel free to post, sorry my laptop was in for maintenance so I haven't been active on the forums lol

LOL it happens, I didn't understand it the first time I read it. Least you'll get some results now:)

I have lost 5lbs so far! and yes you do need a bench but you could sub it for a sturdy chair. You are just wanting to do step ups on it

Actually my start is similar to yours, my start weight was 162 lbs at 5'3 in feb. worked hard and got down to 155 and than bam nothing worked for me it was strange, realized my cals were to high and cut down to about 1300 However I recently stalled at 143-145 it would simply not budge. Turns out I really wasn't netting…

I just came off a 3 week plateau, it gets very frustrating I feel you! I would weight and keep seeing down down down, 133.2 for sure thought id hit 132 but than BAM back to 135...for no real reason ;/ than today it drastically went down for me to 132.4. the body is a complicated thing, its just something ive come to slowly…

35 ish lbs difference, one on the left is the one that made me start ;) Left weight 172(?) to embarrassed to weight Sept 17/13, Right 144 Sept 15/14
