My stretchy, everyday yoga pants are now tight and uncomfortable.

Yes. For years I've struggled with my weight, back and forth. But now, at 40, it's proving downright dangerous. I get winded easily. I'm sick a lot. I never used to get sick! I pull muscles shoveling snow. I hold on to to railing as I walk up the stairs. It's all a wake up call.

Thank you so much for the supportive responses! I need to put one foot in front of the other and your advice was all very helpful. I'm going to set small goals (log every day this week) and then turn them into bigger goals. Day one down and I feel great. Only moving forward from here on out. I think it's most helpful to…

My sister is getting married in a few weeks so I went on the hunt for a dress. I tried on 12s, because that was my size for several years and after many trips back to the dressing room discovered that I…

You know this may not be a popular response, but I was a wine drinker (started at one glass a night for about 5 years, then popped up to 2 glasses for another few years and in the last year started wanting 3 glasses a few nights a week). I attempted to cut back many times and was successful for long stretches (2-3 months),…

We are gluten-free in our house, but that is because my son had chronic stomach pains for a year and eliminating gluten got rid of them. He does not have celiac, though - just some sort of intolerance. So the rest of the family is mostly gluten free to make it easier. I haven't seen any weight loss from being gluten-free,…
