I get super debilitating fatigue and cramps during my period--to the point where the only thing that helps the pain is a vicodin. I literally cannot stand upright, i'm going out of both ends every half hour, etc. I also get migraines--sometimes unrelated to PMS or periods, but I almost ALWAYS get one during my period. And…

i hope this is a true story :) even if it is not, i hope that it is what we all feel when we see someone new to the gym or the sidewalks, and i hope this is what people feel/felt about us as we all got started! I wasn't the "fat girl" at this time, but in HS, i was deifnitely out of shape. I was self conscious, terrible at…

5'10 1/4" here! Hubby is 5'7" ish! lol we make an interesting looking pair. I'm currently 166 and i'd like to get down to 155 if that's realistic. At my heaviest I was 216. :) It's nice that being tall, you hide your weight well--problem is that it takes losing 15-20lbs for me to go down even 1 size, especially since I…

just DO it. That's the best advice I can give. You just do it. You don't think about it, you don't analyze it, just get up and do it. If you can't run 5 miles or go to the gym for 2 hours yet, don't worry about it. Get up and walk. Take a half hour of your lunch and walk briskly for 30 minutes--around the office, outside,…

I didn't used to be overweight, but I was always "bigger". Especially compared to my friends who were all very petite. I am tall with a large, athletic frame--except I'm not athletic. I was never much of a looker, and I was always pretty awkward. I remember boys telling me I was the ugliest girl in school. I remember being…

Div! (like in web design/development) :) Some friends of mine named their dog "Pixel" which was also awesome. He's a web developer so it fit perfect. My friend, not the dog. ;)

First off, I'm sorry but I can't convert stones to lbs...don't know how and at work so I don't want to go search for a calculator online right now. I'll just use pounds. Anyways, Make sure you take your frame into account. at 5'7, if you have a large frame, between 180 and 200lbs is probably decent. My hubs is 226 (down…

So I'm not "the big girl" when I'm with my friends anymore. So I can run a 10k. To build confidence. So I have a good, heatlhy body image that I can pass on to my kids so they start out with good habits, and good health from the get go. :)

I don't have any pics here at work, but I'm 5' 10" and 24 years old. In high school, I was always around 155-165lbs. In college, I began to gain weight when I started birth control and an antidepressant. I was so fatigued, and so busy with college, that exercise was not on my radar at all. Over the course of the 4 years I…
