  • When I was working from home last yearr I struggled as well to find the passion to stay on a steady excerise program. Only three things ended up working for me. I got Zumba for the xbox. I found that dancing didn't seem like excerise. I enjoy video games and it was more fun then anything else. That helped me lose almost 10…
  • Yes, and I definitely get weird looks at the food market I go to. A single 24 yr old woman comparing different brands of the same product to figure out which has more fiber or which has more protien... then debating which I need more of in my diet. etc etc I know there have been times - mainly in the freezer isle - people…
  • Dr. Drew did a very interesting show on this the other night. He demonstrated that online flirting means alot more when men do so then when woman do so psychologically. He explained that men only do things with intent. If they are trolling the web they are doing so to meet and cheat. While woman whom are more social can…
  • Hello, I'm 24. I have already lost about 30 pds hoping to lose another 30 feel free to add me for support (anyone else as well)
  • I found I was having the same problem. I started to volunteer at a local animal shelter walking dogs. It was both rewarding, and gave me a reason to be motivated to excerise. Maybe you should consider looking into finding something you enjoying doing like a zumba dance class or dog walking to try to motivate you? Having…
  • Another thing ppl tend to overlook worry about scale and inchs is how are you feeling? Do you find that you are having more overall energy? Are you feeling better? Honestly. It is the small non-scale victories that make weightloss so important. ie. feeling better! looking better! Like most people have already said its a…
  • Lost about 30 pounds in about a year. Like most I agree slower is better. Its about making a realistic lifestyle change that you can stick too once you have left the website, not just a short term diet plan to lose the weight.
  • You seem to have a good foundation. The only recommendation I could make would be to split the meals into smaller meals. ie. Breakfast - Coffee, Wholemeal English muffin with peanut butter Brunch - bowl of oats Lunch - Coffee, Wholemeal sandwhich with ham, cheese Dinner/Snack - Carrot and an apple Eating more often will…
  • This is a interesting topic for me because netflix just added it to their listing a few weeks ago. I watched the first season where the show the difference between Jill's eat less diet (which you are discribing), and then Bob's eat more diet (which is a lifestyle change). I think if you have netflix and some free time you…
  • I find that friends and family who aren't dieting make it the hardest and are usually the times that I binge. If we go to a resturant they order a app, and a meal. Most of the time that goes over my daily calories in one seating. I find it hard to stay on track around people who aren't
  • I am a supervisor at a call center for the GY shift midnight-8am. I also do the hiring and firing. I can tell you that some people do adjust, and unfortunately others they never adjust and the shift destories them. If you were a nightowl before you started to work the GY shift you will most likely just take a few weeks to…
  • A wiser person then me told me when I posted the same question about 30 days into my journey: "I didn't put it on in a month. I won't see it fall off in a month" Its about determination. Don't give up. We are here for you ^.^ LIke digital says. I still don't see the change in my own body, but at christmas time my entire…
  • Welcome! Good luck ^.^
  • I would definitely say I fall into this cateory. My parents used food a sort of praise for doing good. So it became a sort of reward. So every good grade I get I say "Let me treat myself to..." Everytime I study instead of playing a video game I think "I should reward myself with..." It has become my reward system. Which…
  • Btw work, school, homework, family, cleaning, cooking honestly usally only getting about 4-5 hours on the days that I work. I normally take the weekends as days to relax and sleep in getting a normal 8 hours sleep.
  • that is actucally a really good idea >.>
  • Welcome, and good luck on your journey ^.^
  • you look awesome. I am sure everyone was so surprised ^.^
  • I was having migranes so I can only suggest what I did for those. I took some Vit B which does help with headaches normally related to mirgrane receptors, but you might want to try it for yours you know. They are water soluble so you can't OD on Vit B. No worries there. If have low Vit D I would start a suppliment if you…
  • Anytime, we have all been there. I live a busy life a full time worker and college student. I don't have time to prepare meals. So most of my meals are fast foods so I get the debate of trying to juggle eating healthy when all you want is junk food out of vending machines or drive thru's. It is something that you just need…
  • Sometimes when you find you are having trouble changing your diet you may want to first start just changing portion sizes. Smaller sizes of the foods you already eat will help more then you realize. You can still eat pasta and pizza, just you can only have one slice of pizza instead of 3 like you used too. Or a small fry…
  • Increasing your potassium and drinking lots of water - ditto - this should help with leg cramps ^.^ Good luck
  • :drinker: :drinker: ditto :drinker:
  • Having a routine is the only thing that helps me. When I don't have school, or work something driving me. Honestly I could sleep 20 hours a day that is how bad my depression can be if I don't set a routine. Luckily. I have friends and a boyfriend who understand my condition who support me. On days when I am sitting and bed…
  • If I am alone or with my significant other I do not where a bra around the house at all. As soon as I am home it comes off. Not that bra's aren't comfortable, but I enjoy that freedom and comfort. If I am sleep at a relatives or a friends house then out of respect I would wear a bra at all times including to bed.
  • Yes, This is a lifestyle it doesn't just disappear due to a date on a calendar. So I will hold myself accountable for every delicious bite I put in my mouth like I do every day. ^.^
  • Wow.... amazing... congrats
  • I have to say that my past 3 relationship which have last 2 years+; one of which I was enganged where all instant connections. Not in the lets start making out sort of connections. In fact two of them had girlfriends when first met them, but I knew that if given the chance I would want to be with them. I felt confortable,…
