I'm also 5'7 and 155 lbs. I found what worked best for myself, the last time I tried to lose weight, was running. But I've also heard from a lot of people to try weight training. I'm not entirely sure why you're not losing pounds, but have you tried measuring yourself to see if you've lost inches? That might be a better…

That is an amazing story!! Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing.... In the past I've become frustrated by not seeing any results on the scale, but you are so right---the best changes won't be seen on the scale. I know I feel healthier and better about myself when I eat right and exercise, so who cares what the…

Madeline, I feel like I am in the exact same boat as you! I started the last year at 167, lost and gained all through the spring, over the summer finally lost 17 lbs, only to make my way back up to 157 over the fall! It's very frustrating.... But I'm trying to turn that into positive energy/motivation. I'm tired of working…

I just recently joined also... and you are so right about the "addicting" part! My problem has always been staying motivated. I make great progress and see results, but after a couple of months I just fall off the band wagon and gain it all back. Feel free to add me as well!

My biggest challenge is finding opportunities to workout consistently. I'm in college so my schedule is pretty hectic. The last thing I want to do with what little free time I get is work out. I'm trying to change that starting now! I've tried to lose weight before and keep it off, but I never stay motivated. I'm hoping…

Hi, my name is Liz and I live in Illinois. I'm a junior in college trying to remove the stubborn "freshmen fifteen." I feel exactly the same! Every year come January I start thinking "this year I want a body to be proud of at the beach," yet I never accomplish anything! Last year I did manage to lose 15 pounds over the…

I have the same problem! Over the summer I lost 15 pounds, and got about half way to my target weight., only to gain it all back this fall. I'm hoping the frustration at being so close only to lose it due to laziness with keep me motivated. When you feel discouraged just think about all you've put into it so far--do you…
