Thank goodness I'm not the only one and it is an issue they are working on! I just started keeping track of it and at first I thought they maybe just had some weird calculating going on but later in the day before bed a bunch of calories burned finally showed up from the misfit.

It is so good to hear success stories and know other people go through this and I'm not totally abnormal. I just acknowledged to myself today that I do have a problem. I binge eat a few times a month and I would always make excuses. Three egg and cheese biscuits and a hashbrown, oh it's just a treat before I start the…

I eat honey because I suffer from really bad sinus issues. I buy from a local keeper who I know has a lot of love and respect for their bees and has been raising them for years. They make sure before the harvest that the bees have produced plenty for themselves and they let the bees do what they would normally do, no…

I wish I had to worry about the weight of my boobs.... All boob jealousy aside though if you work at it you will do it. Just take it one step at a time. If your problem is bad food just start gradually swaping out bad food for good. Instead of ranch dressing on a salad try a lighter dressing. Instead of a bowl of chips or…

You had me at Lego's in the living room. I'm guessing you have seen Warehouse 13? If not given your taste I would highly recommend it. My fiance and I can't get enough of it. Congrats on your recent marriage also :D Stuff about me. My fiance and I love zombies and are way into the show The Walking Dead. I even found a…

I gave up soda and fast food years ago and have never looked back. I feel so much better for it and I lost some weight afterwards also. Plus I have noticed my sweet tooth subsided considerably. I can't stomach soda anymore. I tried a sip of one when I was visiting my family a while back and it made me sick to my stomach.…

You should keep in mind also that muscle gain will account for some of that. As you gain more muscle and get toned it is probably keeping your weight even despite the fact you are loosing fat. It is still a really good thing though! Most trainers/nutritionists I've spoken to say go by inches more then scale especially if…

I agree with this but you have to be careful about it. You never know where someone is in their life. That person who is overweight and you look at and think in your head what a unhealthy lazy pig or whatever (not saying you think that mean just extreme example). That person could have already lost 50+ pounds and be…

I've never gotten any comments like that. I either get just "You're really pretty." comments or the straight out "You're a cow/ fat etc." comments though I don't really get those anymore since I got out of high-school. People don't realize how much stuff hurts though. I always pretended like it didn't effect me but it did…

Actually diet soda is horrible for you. I didn't realize this was still a debatable thing. O.o I would be happy to give sources if they are requested. I am currently not on my home computer so will later. Although I hesitate because people tend to go lalala to things they don't want to hear. Also if it is laziness then I…

I'm planning on celebrating with a vacation. My fiancee and I are very outdoorsy so our vacation would include a lot of outdoor activity (hiking, kayaking, etc) It'd be nice to get away from everything for a while and just enjoy nature and not deal with the craziness of everyday life.

You're looking amazing! 60 pounds is a major achievement and I hope you were able to get yourself a really good treat like some new clothes or some other splurge item you've wanted for a long time. You definitely deserve a round of applause.

You are all looking amazing!! I'd post my own but I always forget to get progress shots taken and when I do remember it always seems to fall on a day where I feel bloated and just don't want to. So thanks to all of you who don't forget and put the great inspiration for everyone else on here!

Don't beat yourself up, you are obviously doing well with 33 pounds down. Also not all carbs are bad. Your body needs them in fact! You just have to pick healthy ones i.e. complex v.s. processed/empty. Make pancakes but make them out of whole wheat flour instead of white.

On some level I disagree with number 2. If you are hungry your body is telling you it wants food. The problem lies in the fact most people can't tell the difference between craving/addictions pains and real hunger. Real hunger is not felt in the stomach but in the throat. Strange but true. The thing is no one in our…

One of my biggest pet peeves for misinformation is "nuts are bad because they have fat so you should never eat nuts." I worked at walgreens and actually had a woman return several portion size baggies of pistachio's complaining about the fat and saying she might as well eat a candy bar because it would be the same thing.…

Drinking enough water is without a doubt very important to weight loss. It could be that your face is slightly bloated from not drinking enough water and if you also eat a lot of salty stuff. On the other hand I've noticed that when I look at myself I feel like I'm not going anywhere despite the scale going down but then I…

These are all so inspirational! You guys are amazing :D

Right now my motivation is the two summer tops I bought that I have hanging up where I can see them. Every time I see them it pushes me more. I will be wearing those tops this summer and I will look d*mn good in them!

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.” ― Paul McCartney That said I became a vegan for health after watching "Forks over knives" on netflix in a night of boredom. Before that I loved meat and I thought what most think that vegans and vegetarians were that way so they could be holier than thou…

I used to think exercising was embarrassing to do when you were fat. That everyone would look at me and judge me poorly in the work-out clothes and wonder why a fat girl would even bother. Then I realized that people either don't care or it is the opposite and they admire you for trying to change your life for the better.
