They look good, wear 'em proud.

I'm trying to come back too. In order to keep my head straight, I remind myself that this is a choice, and I get to choose it or not choose it. My goal is to usually choose a healthy, functional body over 8 billion maple bars. Not gonna lie, sometimes I have a hard time caring if I'm a sad lumpy lump in a corner, drooling…

I tried it because of the lower calories, and have kept it mostly for cereal use, when I get a strong sugar cereal craving. I like the nuttiness it adds to cereal, and also that it doesn't go bad before I can use it all like cow's milk.

I'm so excited whenever I see someone looking into strength training! It's drastically improved my whole shape in about 3 months, and I still have 53 pounds of my original 100 or so to go! Best thing I've ever done for myself, hands down. Congrats, you look great :)

I've been working on my diet for months (40 pounds total lost so far) but I only saw small changes in my stomach.... until I started strength training two months ago.

I have the exact same problem. It has improved somewhat with my diet improvements- the cramping isn't as intense, and the fruits and veggies aren't recognizable every single time. But certain foods really really make it bad. Apples and pears, potatoes, lettuce. Never had a problem with melons, yet yesterday I ate some…

I'm at the beginning of my adventure here too, mostly, but this time around I've been more successful and I wanted to share a couple tips that have been key in making this a lifestyle change rather than another crash diet. Planning ahead helps me a lot! If I'm driving home from a meeting and realize I'm hungry, I WILL get…

Strawberry shortcake made with those little pre-made cakes in any bakery (like 80 calories each) lots of fresh strawberries, and a gob of cool whip. Can't remember what it totals, but it's not bad. Maybe 140?

I have to fight panic attacks during exercise as well, which is a shame because I love it. Buspar from my doc had really helped me, though I'm not on it currently. I practice breath control to minimize my body's fight or flight response, distract my mind, check my heart rate, and if I have to I stop exercising, get my head…

I use distraction techniques- I put on high energy music with good sound variation, and force myself to really focus on HEARING every nuance of sound. It works better for me if I'm familiar with and enjoy what I'm hearing, because I'll match my motion to the music, and I'll push past my goals to listen to a good song.
