All my friends are thin and pretty. I don't want to be the fat friend anymore, embarrassed to go anywhere or do anything with them and feeling like I get invited out of pity.

Chop your goal into manageable pieces so you have lots of victories and lots of successes. One BIG goal is just too daunting- like eating an apple all at once. Set some measurable goals (scale weight, inches, BMI, etc) but plan for NSV's (Non Scale Victories) as well like being able to climb stairs without stopping,…

It's how I want to do it and it works for me. It's also way more convenient.

Grains, wheat, starches I mostly avoid but if I eat them, I eat them during the day. I don't like eating them at night, I feel like it just sits there in a lump in my stomach. At night I have mostly meat and veggies and fruit.

Seafood... fish is high in protein. I love salmon, tilapia and catfish, baked, broiled or cooked on the George Foreman grill. Sautee or broil some broccoli or some Brussels, or I like to stir fry some broccoli slaw or cabbage to pair it with. That's my go to meal right now. Quick and easy and low on carbs. Good fats are an…

I always get on my friends about wondering how to kindly approach someone who is actively rude to them. There isn't a kind way. You have to advocate for yourself and practice self care. When someone brings a treat in to work, for example and insists over and over and over that I take one, I take it and then throw it away.…

I modified the workouts because I do not have the best knees. I did not dip deeply or step way back on lunges. I didn't even do jumping jacks until the final 10 days or so. Be gentle on your knees and modify the steps as needed so you don't injure yourself.

I want to say a standard glass is about 6oz? But if I depend on myself to refill a single glass 8 or more times, it'll never happen. I keep a 33oz bottle of water at my desk and a 16oz refillable cup. it's easier for me to drink from a cup than a giant bottle so I keep refilling it till the bottle is gone. Repeat. I can…

5'3" and 258. BMI "says" we should be around 125 to 140 I think? Something like that. Yeah good luck with that. The lowest I've been in the last... 20 yrs was 188. So I'd like to get to around 170--175 and see how I look/feel. The recommendations for people our height do seem very small.

Yep, more toned, smaller thighs, your ab "V" I don't know what that's called is way more defined. It's hard to see changes in ourselves because we look at us everyday. If you look at them side by side, the change stands right out.

I have known many women who are very thin and it's just as painful for them to have women look at them with hate in their eyes as it is for someone to 'moo' at me at the mall. One friend I had could NOT gain weight. She would cry herself to sleep at night because she was so bony. She finally gained some weight due to…

I have heard that Supreme 90 is like a precursor to Insanity or P90X.
