I struggle with wanting everyone to be happy too and see value in themselves.

I get discouraged from time to time too. This has been my second week of cutting back on sugar and ampping up my workouts(recently getting motivation after losing my dad to leukemia). I also feel really bloated. I've read that it takes at least 4 weeks to notice change in your body depending where you're at and how far you…

Hi Lizzie, I too am needing support to get back on track. I've been an emotional eater myself. A year ago father's day, my dad was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

A combination of weight training and cardio is your best bet. I've struggled with "the pooch" myself. Even when I was at my thinnest, it was still there a little. However it was just there "a little" and got much smaller. Stay consistent on your eating and strive for healthiness at least 80% of the time. It's okay to have…

I used to feel that way too until I met my husband. I wasn't at my thinnest self ever when we first met but apparently was very confident and smiled a lot. He happened to like my legs too. At the time we met, I had just graduated nursing school and was in the process of losing my nursing school weight. About a year into…

It's better than sitting but it's not an excuse to not challenge your body with real exercise.

I just sent a request. I need some motivation.

Way to go on quitting smoking though!!! That is something to be proud of. The benefits of not smoking will benefit your lungs and your whole body!!! I had an aunt who quit smoking. She used exercise and prayer as her way of managing her stress. Unfortunately she quit too late in life after being a chain smoker for who…

I think it depends on your metabolism. I've also found though that eating healthier foods will give you quality energy. It's even more essential when you're exercising. Not saying you can't every eat that chocolate chip cookie or scoop of icecream but healthy food is so important to receive the proper vitamins and…

It's encouraging to see other people struggling with their weight as well. I've struggled with my weight since puberty: up and down 20 pounds here and there. Recently, my challenge has been being a newlywed, working 40-50 hours a week, and being in grad school part time. The challenging part is in the evenings I may not be…
