Well, I just started back working out after six months of really no activity while I was in school. And I've never tried a gym before now, so I would say that since I'm paying for the gym, I am trying to work with more intensity than I was doing before. I'm new to living alone and I got really sick over Christmas, so I…

Admittedly, I had not tried working out without eating before. With what my trainer said, I just started eating less like just having half a bagel or an apple and it still wasn't working. So, I'll try that and just drink a ton of water before and during and maybe that will solve the problem.

Swimming, most definately. Walking is lovely too, even in the winter in Minnesota. I used to have so much fun looking at all of the beautiful snow on the tree. But as for swimming, I'm hopefully moving to an apartment with a pool. <3

Thanks. I need a kick in the a**. I do.

Seeing as how I gained back nearly all I lost, I could use some good hard motivation to keep doing this.

Yes, it's just that I've eaten terrible food my whole life. I don't even know how to start eating healthier.

@Jess7836 - I've been at this for a damn month. I lost six pounds and now suddenly, four are back on. I can't control my eating, SO I'm ashamed to log it onto the diary. I'm such a pig, I can't stop eating at night or at McDonalds...

Thanks! I eased up on my speed a little and I feel so much better! I keep working on it.

I can see that, but my stamina is kinda crap. I'm really out of shape. But that does make sense.

Born This Way- Lady Gaga Yeah I know, but hey any song about self-love makes me want to work harder.

Thank you all! I'll look into getting a wok. The strogonaff and the easy healthy pizza recipes are my favorite. Even I didn't mess it up! Thank you so much!

The elliptical keeps shutting off because I'm so slow. I don't know what to do. I'm just tearing myself from the inside out. Maybe I'm using it wrong. Anyways, thank you all for your amazing advice and encouragement. I feel so much better honestly.

Age: 20 years old Height: 5.4 Weight: 252 lbs (just weighed) I've only been doing this for three weeks so maybe I'm just freaking out. I'm just stressed out from my life. But my aunt gave me her elliptical and I've been trying to do fifteen minutes everyday. But lately, I feel lack luster towards myself and my abilities. I…

When I was in high school, boys would pass by me and make cow noises as I walked. Needless to say, I have no confidence. Especially when my father takes a younger picture of me and says "See that? You weren't born a fatass. So why are you one now?" There are plenty of moments in my life that make me want to die inside…

A horrible day at work. Customers are unforgiving, a lot even taunt me for my weight as they leave. Others just taunt me for my place in life, working at Wal-mart instead of being in college. Its hurtful and crappy. That's why I work out in the morning before I do anything.

String cheese and apples mixed with grapes or blueberries

You look incredible! Great work!!!
