Walking is definitely exercise. It does not, however, have the cardiovascular benefits of running or more intense work. If you are very overweight, just going for long walks will be helpful, but if you are strugging to lose the last 20 or tighten up what you already have, you probably won't find it super helpful (although…

I don't really think so. People ask the same questions of people involved in cults or abusive relationships - Why did you stay so long? You could leave whenever you wanted... It's been proven that you can keep control over someone without physically restraining them. The contestants should be grateful, this is the best…

THANK YOU.

Yep, compression pants or running leggings! Also a LONG tank and a sports bra so everything's covered - I wore a shorter tank to zumba today, whoops! It's sad that they don't make a lot of workout clothes for larger people - we have the most weight to lose!

For those saying, "why didn't you just leave," you obviously don't understand the psychology of taking people with already low self-esteem and putting them in a complete blackout of contact with anyone that they know or feel comfortable with, severely restricting diets and dramatically increasing activity, all the while…

I'd love more friends with a lot to lose!

Don't know how well it would travel (I'm a SAHM), but my current fave lunch is a whole wheat pita with half an avocado mashed on top of it, a squirt of lime juice, a sliced hard boiled egg, and about 2 oz of sliced turkey. I eat it like a mini pizza. 360 calories, and it keeps me full for like five hours!

Yessss, this is great motivation, thanks!

That's such a huge thing, don't minimize it! I had that experience last year, worked up to 20 minutes and never ever would have thought that was possible! I let it slip and I'm dying after 4 now, but I'll get it back! Great job!

I am weeping uncontrollably right now. You are a very gifted writer and have a beautiful spirit. Many blessings on your path! :)

Hahaha, yes, this!

Me too! I was doing well and seeing results until I got pregnant and then gained it all back and then some post-baby! There's nobody to blame but myself, but hey, onward and upwards! :)

Looking good!

Yep, had the same problem, eventually I just made myself get over it. I definitely have had acquaintances drive past me as I've been running, and I know I've been laughed at by teenagers on a couple of occasions. Once the worst thing happens, it's kind of like, oh, is that it? What kind of a jerk tries to make somebody…

My biggest problem with food is getting lazy and putting in something frozen or going out when it comes to dinner time. I plan dinners for the week on Sundays, so I can know what groceries to buy. I have the week planned out, but am free to switch day to day if I feel like something else that particular night. I find it…

I totally have the same problem - Husband and I took her to the mall and did some laps? Kind of a pain, but it was really nice to just get up and around again!

I usually get the Chicken Bacon McWrap grilled with no sauce (not a big sauce person). It's about 450 calories I believe. For breakfast I'm always going with the blueberry pomengranate smoothie - 220 calories. I actually like McDonalds, especially compared to other fast food places. Oh, and a tip if you're a fry fan, order…
