I just wanted to second this recommendation. I found out about these bars from a post on the WW forums and I love these bars! Now my husband and son love them, too. We only buy the cookie dough and brownie ones so I’m not sure of the other two. They’re just the right amount of sweet without being TOO sweet. ETA: It did…

I am still a work in progress, but I initially lost 70 lbs from my pregnancy high of 330 lbs (5’4”) and maintained that for years before finally getting serious again in July after a holiday gain of ~12 lbs last year.

Please, for the love of God, won't someone THINK OF THE BABIES?!?! ;) (And yes, I think that comment is cute.) ETA: I started heavy lifting just a couple weeks ago after a few weeks of using the weight machines, and a year of Zumba, and I am loving it so far. I am continuing to do Zumba 4-5 times a week because I loves it,…

I agree with this post 100%. I would aim to get as fit and healthy as possible, withOUT putting stress or pressure on yourself to meet some hypothetical standard that may or may not be possible, especially in such a short period of time. Then find a bathing suit you feel awesome in and enjoy the heck out of your holidays…

I would recommend eating at least 1200-1500 calories a day. Your best bet is to look up your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) and then…

I am gluten intolerant as well, and there is a learning curve to this eating style, but it is SOOOO worth it once you discover how much better you feel eating gluten-free. (By "you" I mean those who are gluten intolerant or have Celiac.) Some people who are intolerant rather than full-blown Celiac may discover they can…

Hi Gabe! I am giggling at your post and think you are one of "my" people. I, too, making a living as a writer and am a geek. I play SWTOR and love most SF and fantasy. I write legal articles and also have an urban fantasy series published by Penguin/Ace Books. I also have a "day job" working part-time as a paralegal…

I don't have any experience with insulin pumps and dieting, but I did just want to say welcome and good luck! You're making a great commitment to your health and well-being, so good job. :)

My 74-year-old Nana who is still going through "the Change" must have been waiting in the wrong line the day Mother Nature waved her "everyone hits menopause at 40" wand. Poor Nana. :(
