My favorite pizza place is Papa Murpheys although it's very very different because they give you the pizza raw, and you cook it at home. My favorite pizza of theirs is only 183 a slice. However, restaurants are required to post nutritional values, so either ask at the parlor, or try finding it on their website. They're…

Since I was home schooled and acquired my GED at a young age, I never went out much, which led to me losing most of my friends because I was always too busy with school. Now I don't go out much either, mostly because I don't like the kind of foods my friends like eating (going to pizza parlors, or fast food joints, the…

From Collin County, Texas here - There are still a lot of obese people everywhere, even on the wealthy side of town... we moved here from New York and we were shocked. Even the pets are overweight...

Single and happy! (So far) I'm honestly a lot happier independent.. sue me!

I started out with 5 lb. weights and I'm re doing it with 8 lb. weights (it took me along time to build up muscle so I'd suggest starting out with 2 or 3!) Good luck! I love love LOVE this workout. Jillian really pushes me!
-
So much encouragement, thank you all! I will try to push her in the right direction! I had the same thoughts - she really just wants help and she feels bad that she doesn't know where to start. The more I think about it, she's grown up in a really food-conflicted home! Her mom is a health freak - very fit and healthy. On…

Wow thank you all for great replies! Nice to know I'm not the only one! She and I originally tried losing weight together! The she got busy and she put it "on hold"... I did encourage her to get back up and continue, and she tells me she does work out when she finds the time, but I KNOW she's not eating the way she should.…

Well I'm not really confused about it... It was my choice to lose weight and be healthy, and get the body I want, and the body I deserve... it's not anyone else's choice but mine! I just don't understand why she's so down about it. She kept talking about how she wished she could lose weight and be healthy and then she sat…

The more I think about it the more I realize the main problem was that I was so on track at first because I had a program all set out for myself. I just need to do more pre planning! I quick add a lot of calories, because I literally have the calories of everything in my kitchen memorized. I have a very low diet content.…

I had the same thing as you, and that's why I'm working towards losing weight now. I have my slip up days, as anyone would recovering from a disorder.
-
Edit: I'm not looking down upon people who have eating disorders because like I said, I have one... I am SO happy for the ones that come here for recovery (like I did!) But I go on some girls' profiles and their goals are "80 pounds, thigh gaps, so I can see my bones" My point is this site is about exercise, and yes, about…

I have wide hips, back dimples, and a super curvy body...so I love my boobs, butt and my waist :)

From going through, and surviving middle school as the really nerdy/chubby girl, and coming out fine without any valentines - She will be fine. High school will not be any better, it's good she's learning now. Though why in 8th grade and at 13, that's something to cry about, I don't know. She's still young, and the only…

The tips that I have heard said don't eat or drink past 7 pm at night, or it will show up on the scale the next day, and don't eat or drink before 6 am in the morning... It sounds extreme but I've been trying to follow it. My suggestion for the morning is to drink 16 oz. of water FIRST and wait 20 minutes. If you're still…

I've been doing intermittent fasting since I first started dieting! However I only gave myself one fast day but I'm thinking of increasing!

Hi all I'm 4'10", 132 pounds. The reason I put on the weight in the first place was because of sexual abuse from my uncle when I was 10 years old. I felt like if I gained weight, it'd never happen again. I was never ever "overweight" until that point, and even then, it's taken me 6 years to gain the weight that I have. The…

4'10", 134 lbs, usually size 4 or sometimes even 2. But I'm small height wise.

Honestly the problem with "low carb diets" is that YES even though they do work, it's not long term. Why? Because after they lose the weight, they go right back to eating the way they used to. Once you cut out carbs, or cut back on them, you can't go back to old habits, otherwise you'll gain it all back, and then some. If…

HEY! Here's the thing - the scale is evil. If you want to measure anything, measure inches down. The scales are way to unpredictable. IT'S PROBABLY JUST WATER WEIGHT! Don't give up!

1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips! 70 calories, and gets rid of my sugar craving!

Peaches! Or really any kind of fruit.

The first 5 pounds will come off like a dream, but really that's just water weight. 40 pounds in 4 months is assuming you'll lose 10 pounds a month, which is more than 2 pounds a week (that would be 8 pounds a month). Honestly it's not a realistic goal, and it'd be extremely unhealthy. 2 pounds a week is still healthy, but…

WOOHOO congratulations! You look great! Keep up the great work :)
