One day, I realized that I hadn't taken a picture of myself in MONTHS. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE pictures and I love posting them on facebook, etc. I started to think back and realized that subconsciously, I had been leaving my camera at home, or stepping out of the shot of someone else's picture, or just…

I was my best friend's maid of honor and at my biggest weight ever.... I hate knowing that my ultimate fat pictures are literally EVERYWHERE. I can't even hide in shame. However, I think it's really, really sad that you don't have any of your wedding pics up. :( I think you should look back at them and feel proud that…

You are absolutely not alone. We had a potluck at my work last week, and normally I stay AWAAAAY from the tables and do not even glance over to see what delights I am "missing out on." But I gave in and let myself have some of whatever I wanted. I realized at a certain point I wasn't even eating the piece(s) of cake and…

80+ pounds ago, it was an average day to stop by Taco Bell and order: 1 cheesy fiesta gordita, 2 soft tacos, 2 hard tacos, 1-2 fiesta potato soft tacos, pinto beans and cheese, cinnamon twists (honestly, I may have left something out...) and I would take it home, plop down in front of the TV, and binge out. Then, of…

I didn't join this until last night, but better late than never! My first attempt at doing the plank this morning was sooo sad... I can't wait to get stronger! I only lasted for 29 seconds before I collpapsed, panting, to the floor. Lol.

Also keep in mind, muscle weighs more than fat. My trainer advised me to stop weighing myself for a little while, because it was so frustrating to see those stupid numbers on the scale. You've been building your endurance and doing a lot of cardio; that's burning fat and building muscle. Keep track of things like how much…

Ultimate FTW!!

I've seen a lot of different opinions on this, too. The bottom line is, if you feel sick/simply not hungry, you shouldn't have to force yourself. I'm a low-carber, so for the most part, my body requires several small meals per day and I feel famished between each "feeding," (<-- as my loving boyfriend puts it, lol)...…

Burning calories is burning calories. For some, it's very helpful and motivational to be able to see that even everyday activities like light housecleaning are still better than sitting around doing nothing. Knowledge is power.

^ I could not have phrased it any better than tihs. And I, too, feel judged by "smaller" people that I encounter at the gym. Especially the really young, beautful, preppy-type girls that are usually hogging the treadmill when I come in. :P But what I try to remind myself is that if I let myself feel intimidated or self…

I have been on a low-carb diet since July 2011 and have lost 32 pounds so far! I started out reading the New Atkins for a New You, got inspired, and started into Induction. (I stopped calling it Atkins, honestly, when everyone around me kept hissing and nay-saying. Now I generically refer to it as "low carb," although I…
