I realized that... Actually? I can't really call myself lazy anymore. Which kind of shocked me, since I've always considered myself a couch potato. But I now workout 6 days a week, 3 of those days for about an hour. I prepare many of my meals ahead of time, and diligently track my food and exercise on top of my usual work…

I've lost inches!!! Half an inch off my bust, and another half an inch off my waist! I've also looked at some new exercise equipment and I'm actually? Kind of excited to get new things to work out with?! I used to hate working out, so that's quite a difference.

I was able to do reverse crunches today... and stretch my legs out all the way and lift them up again! I couldn't believe it to be honest, I was like WHAAAAT as I did them😂 I may not be able to do many of them, but that's such a visible difference it made me feel good! I also got a 10 pound dumbbell... and it was tough to…

I got stretch marks on my lower stomach, and I cried. I have stretch marks everywhere else, but they're old and faded; these are new and red and honestly ugly as heck. I know that they'll fade, and I knew I'd gained some weight but I weighed myself and I was 240 pounds which is as big as I've ever been. It's not surprising…

I'm getting used to my 5 pound dumbells! I want to get some 10 pound ones soon. :) I've also done strength training for 40 minutes twice this week, which is quite a lot going from absolutely nothing at all.

I'm 31, 5"9, and my goal weight is, right now...under 200 pounds! I'm currently 234, and before now I was about 180-190. I'd like to get back to that and then reassess. 160 will likely be my final goal but I'll have to see how I feel once I reach 180!

It's always a shock to see how much you've been eating before you track, isn't it? Welcome to the site and good luck with achieving your goals! :)

I've pretty much always been overweight. My parents are both junk food eaters and neither of them exercise and so I didn't either-even as a small child I was overweight and I never really saw the point in losing weight. But it's not really my parents' fault now. I can cook, I'm just lazy and I'm probably addicted to sugar.…

I totally do the "exercise so I can eat things I like later" thing too. Today I ate super delicious(and sugary) apple crisp when it wasn't even my cheat day...But I burned it all off so I'm okay lol. Another confession! I've been slacking on my exercise for the last few days because I've been managing to make it under my…

I had a major cheat day yesterday but by the end I felt so unhappy with myself that I decided that I'm never going to go that over again. I was sitting there thinking "no I need to hurry up and burn these off!" rather than "that was delicious". Though those donuts and apple crisp were very delicious at the time I think…

A few chips aren't going to ruin your diet, don't worry. A whole bag? Sure. But a few here and there is no big deal so don't feel bad for indulging a little bit-don't beat yourself down about it or else you might just think 'well screw it now, I'm already in the hole'. I'm the same way as you-as soon as I see other people…

Pretty underwear and Dior perfume.

I love doing Dance Dance Revolution as a break from my normal routine(or addition to it). Once you get up to difficult and expert levels you're almost constantly moving and it's so fun it doesn't feel like exercise to me. I'd love to get Dance Central or Just Dance as well but tall girl in a short basement with arm…

Any sort of dessert. If I see it I'll eat it but I'm working on my willpower which is getting better because I just think "if I eat these cookies that means I have to do another 10 minutes of cardio and you know how much you hate working out". I've still been maintaining my deficiet thankfully however I know I should…

I actually have the same problem and I think that it's just your body getting used to it however if it persists much longer I would get it checked out. For me both of my knees ached like crazy after day one but now I'm on day three and it's only my left one has any sort of ache to it but only while doing the exercises;…
