I got a couple good runs in over the holiday break. I came back from a NOLA Christmas +3lbs. But am back on track now. I think it was leftover salt and fluids from all those shrimp poboys.

I want to applaud you for being on here and sharing your struggle. That alone shows that you want are determined and takes guts. I know that everyone has a different journey, and what works for one person, may not be the answer for another. Personally, what helped me, was taking baby steps. I started with committing to…

I have been a pescetarian for over 10 yrs now. As a child I was raised eating meat b/c my whole family did, but my mom said that even as a baby, I just didn't like it.

The mommy guilt is one of the hardest barriers. I have an almost 7yr old girl, and it took me a long time to understand the balance. I was a singly mom up until a couple years ago. So to start, I did my workouts at home. Thank goodness for youtube. There are so many great videos out there for free. I highly recommend the…

I think it can be extremely overwhelming when you look at how far you have to go. It almost psyches you out before you start. My suggestion, would be like some others on here, to start with small goals. Instead of trying to climb a giant mountain, start small. Take a look at what your doing now, and identify one thing you…

Keep your head up! The hardest thing to learn on any weight loss journey is patience. We have to remember that it took time to gain the weight that we have. And it will also take time to lose that weight. Weight loss is referred to as a journey because it is long term. It's hard to avoid getting caught up in the numbers…

Congrats. You look great. I am trying to lose 10-15 lbs before my dress fitting in Nov. Looking forward to posting before and after pics. I have been stuck at this "trying to lose 10-15lbs' phase and am hoping that I can stay motivated. Thanks for sharing:)
