Nope! :O I've been once, and prefer the privacy of my own home. On top of that, I can't afford to GO to any of the gyms around here ; I live so far back out in the woods, it'd cost more GOING to the gym than the membership itself. My first round at weight-lost was done 100% at home. I'm pretty much sold on Beachbody…

Protein is mucho important!

Hey Kathy! Dropping by to say that I'm an open book on here and love to help and motivate others when it comes to health and fitness related goals. :) Ive lost ~50lbs so far and this site (and app) were a big help. If you have any questions or maybe just want somebody's insight on something, feel free to ask! (and add me…

Hey there :) Feel free to add me! I really like helping motivate others.

I totally hear you! I've lost ~50lbs myself, and this site (and app) helped a bunch! If you have any questions, or just want a friend to help motivate you through the journey, feel free to add me on here!

Having lost ~50lbs myself, I've got my own little bundle of advice that I keep locked away in a secret chamber. Just kidding! It can seem hard at times, like you're not making any progress, like you're stuck. But. You've gotta keep pushing. If the scale doesn't move, you might be losing inches. So, don't always rely on the…

I'll admit that mine was originally for vanity reasons. I looked in the mirror a few years ago, and realized that I was "fat" and didn't like that ; so I became obsessed with looking like the girls/women on TV and in magazines. Really stupid looking back at it. And vain. So vain.

Curly..?

Mostly depression/ptsd/stress. And having to move 3 times in one year. I wish I would have realized what was happening to the body I'd worked so hard for. But even then I'm not sure if it would have mattered. Prescriptions for the anxiety/stress/depression made me more zombie-like than anything. And, I just didn't care…

I usually only drink water because my urinary tract is super effing sensitive. That being said, I ususally don't drink fizzy drinks anyway. But, when I feel like I want one, I get a flavored seltzer water. Schweppes makes some now (I didn't see them until the other day, and I LOVE their Ginger Ale) that are pretty darn…

Yup. Sure do! My cousin did, got about 10k out of 'er I think. All she wanted was some *kitten*, too.

I'd just buy a HRM, I've had mine for about 3 years now, and never plan on letting it go. Just now, I've had to replace the batteries. I never really trusted the exercise-burning-calculations on here.

UH. There's ALWAYS... Whole Wheat/Grain Bread Almond Milk Apples

I'm 5 feet exactly! c: (Anybody who sees this can add me! I like tall people too, lol). I keep a c/kal goal of 1200-1300 a day, and try to eat back the extra calories from exercise, which is usually around 200.

Interesting point of view and reasoning o:

"power of food is strong" P:

Oh big time! I use to be able to down a pint (that size of bottle that'll about fit in cargo-pant pockets) of like say, Bacardi in one night, no problem. Now it takes me maybe 2-3 shots, and I'm DONE. I don't really drink anyway though.

Ugh, I've notived that too. Most of the time I can't finish it, and it leaves me upset. I feel like I wanna kick myself for wasting money I KNOW I shouldn't have spent, on something that wasn't worth it in the first place. I tell myself something along those lines EVERY time I eat something processed and it winds up making…

Mucho agree.

You're "heaviest weight"? Its an obstacle in your journey to health (fitness/weight/fat-loss). That's literally all it is. All you have to do is accept it as an obstacle, and take the challenge on. Don't let it hold you back, make you doubt yourself, and crush your hope. It's also important to remember that your WEIGHT…

I'm not going to be much of a help, specially compared to the previous posters. I'm one of those people who only has to deal with it for about 3 days, then it's gone. I have no problem working out or anything during... but man, those cravings are something else. Last month, I finished a gallon of Mint Chocolate-Chip ice…

That's amazing! Hell, you're aspirational! You're very pretty too, by the way. c:

Mean :c. But friendly sometimes. Ok, ok, friendly.

I'll send you a request but, post here anyway. Just in case somebody else wants to add me too. I'm 19, currently studying graphic design. Around late 2011, I started making a life style change, and by mid 2012, I'd lost around 60lbs. I fell into some kind of depression however, and my anxiety started to get the better of…

I don't know about all that. I'd like to believe and trust in it, sure. Mostly because I love lemons, and eat them like some people eat oranges. However, I can vouch on the "good for skin, cleansing skin yadada" and the "warm lemon water makes you poop" parts. I usually put some lemon juice in my green tea in the morning,…

I have an app I downloaded a while ago, called Yoga.com. I have the pro version, which I wanna say was $3.00(?). You can choose by your level, or what you wanna work (flexibility/balance/etc), or even the body part you wanna focus on. It also gives you the names and pronunciation for each move c:

Hey! c: I'm totally here for anybody who needs me. If you don't feel like reading my profile, the gist is something like "2 years ago, I lost 60lbs of fat the healthy way, got depressed, and gained it back". I'm Landie, btw.

Mine is ALWAYS open, 100%.

That sounds really hectic! Jeez, and I complain about having so much to do now! D: Hang in there, it's SO worth it! This is kind of my "day 1 again" too. I've been working out and eating healthy (and using my MFP) since 2012. Since then, I've lost about 55lbs the healthy way. However, when my boyfriend and I had to move…
