Im starting over too! Im 33yo mom to a 1.5yo. I gained 20lbs from pregnancy and have not been able to get rid of it! I log in daily and am trying to do as much movement as i can without a gym for now.

As a therapist, I've learned the art of being brutally honest such as "you'll die if you don't stop, but that's your choice..." or "I'm hearing excuses, when will there be some action?" I keep it tailored to the person though, some people can't handle it so I wait until it's a good time. It usually works. I had a few…

When I travel I try to challenge myself with what I eat. So I'll go vegan or vegetarian, drink only water, and focus on getting as much movement as possible either by taking a tour of the neighborhood or finding some stairs to pace if there's no gym. I try to do that in the morning to wake up and get my brain working for…

yes! My ex tried to get me to eat oatmeal by saying it was healthy and it tasted like oatmeal cookies and he was wrong! It tasted like regurgitated slop!

well, if you look at the entirety of existence, losing any amount of weight in your lifetime could be considered quick. If you want to be healthy, it takes time. But if you really want to lose weight quickly I suggest learning more about your body and why you think you need to lose weight quickly. Other than eating at a…

I think you're doing wonderfully and although I see some little differences, what matters is how you feel. How is your logging going? Are you feeling like there is a difference in you? Keep kicking butt and you'll see success reflected throughout your life [:

If you want this, do it. You're still getting used to the change. If you don't like it, talk to your PT and/or a licensed nutritionist to come up with a plan with you that you can agree on. Keep it up! Communicate with your PT, he/she won't know if it's not right for you if you don't say anything. Again, it's only day two.…

Hello! You've had quite a wild ride! Feel free to add me! I think you're definitely going to reach your goals and by this time next year, you'll be having the time of your life on some rollercoaster! C:

I find that if I only put what I need to eat in front of me and am consistent with that, my stomach will learn to feel full with what I give it. How long have you been having this problem?

hello! Sending a friend request now! I'm also 24, but on the opposite side of the US [:

Here, here! I'm 5'3.5" though and I went from 170 to 140. I still want to get to about 130. Add me if you'd like. I check in daily :]

What a journey you had! Go be her motivation!!! You can do it!!!! Don't let a day go by where you don't make a positive impact in your own life! <3 <3 <3 <3

What worked for me was counting calories first, so that I had a basic understanding of what I was consuming. Now I don't count them because I just don't like thinking in terms of eating numbers instead of food. But I still know when I'm eating too much or too little because of that basic understanding and the way I feel.…

Can you create a better daily routine? Like go out in the morning for a walk so you get some time out of the house, then eat outside for lunch (something small and delicious) and for dinner plan your meals ahead of time and don't let yourself get bored after. Keep yourself occupied with a book, games, watching youtube,…

Hello! I'm 24 and lost 30 and planning on losing at least 10 more :] feel free to add me <3

I tried it and it kicked my butt. From what I hear from others, it works and it is great for beginners. :D Good luck!

I take a multi-vitamin for women, vitamic C, and Zinc because I'm always sick and need to boost my immune system without spending $$$$$ on airbourn or EmergenC or whatever other immune booster bs is out there. :smiley:

Super cute! Definitely works well with your curves! <3

YES! Sometimes I hate hearing myself chew too. Thats why I like smoothies :P

I think preparing and freezing meals is a great idea! It's good that you're active too! Comfort eating might be a bit tricky. I found that meditating, painting my nails, doing anything to keep my mind away from food and my hands busy will help me keep away from snacking. Does the apartment complex you're moving to have a…

what have you tired already? Looking at your past attempts and figuring out why they are not working will help give you insight on what you need to change in your life. Have you tried getting the kids involved? Changing the foods you eat as a family? Logging your meals? How much water do you drink and sleep do you get? Can…

Hello! Thats fantastic progress! Keep it up <3 <3 <3

^^^ I cant run at all! I reached my original goal (145 lbs) about a year ago through eating clean and moving more. I didn't do much cardio, but I walked about 2 miles each day to and from work and I would occasionally go to the gym. I just started lifting and I have no clue what I'm doing so I guess my next goal would be…

I feel like that's how most of these places are! Ha! But I love smoothies and get them because they're delicious. I know there's like 3 tablespoons of sugar added to it and its not too healthy.

It was fun! Made me want to learn more about health and wellness. The mocha latte one was really good, but I got a weird twitch from all the caffeine. My all time favorite is passion fruit juice, strawberry, and banana. Or just banana, honey, and vanilla. The latte was bananas, condensed milk, coffee, and vanilla. Imagine…

I can make a mocha latte smoothie! Lol!

I worked next to a dance studio and all of the dancers would get them! I think at one point I had to tell one girl that she couldn't have it because she was drinking a Monster energy drink.

I think that's fantastic and interval will definitely be good to train your body to go for longer, but you should check with a doctor as well. You don't want to kill your knees or heart. Do the exercises that make you happy! If you want to lift more often, go for it! What are your goals? :)

all of this!!!

have you considered keeping a journal, not online, but on paper. This way you can write your feelings, intake, sleep, and thoughts. You can find motivational quotes and recipes to write down too. I think if you see a therapist, they will also find journaling useful so they can see how they can help you with your anxiety.…
