Hi! I am only 8 weeks pregnant and recently started my weight loss journey. It was exciting to find out, but I wasn't trying, in fact I was on birth control, so there was a part of me that was scared of the weight gain and bummed my weight loss journey was being put on hold. Now my focus is trying to lose a little weight…

If anyone in the area is looking for a support group, I started something called Worcester County Weight Loss on Facebook. I'm looking for people who are willing to make posts and talk about their journeys! (We don't sell stuff, don't worry)

Added you all!

I'm interested!

Hi Lauren! I have similar goals! I am looking to lose 150 pounds as well. I was thinking today that I wish I knew more people with similar goals. Some of the women I go to the gym with are looking to lose 20-30 pounds, which is so awesome for them! I think I need more people in my life that have a more daunting weight loss…

I think the WHY is very confusing to me. Not confusion, but uncertain. I started losing weight in college, I was 320 pounds, 22 years old, a smoker, and always in pain. I got down to 233 pounds, and then my Mom died. I lost my motivation for weight loss, I got depressed, scared, suicidal and I let it all go. I ballooned…

Yay Emma! I recently just started taking classes at my gym and now I'm addicted. I was so nervous to go in, everything ever was reeling through my head, "I look ridiculous, I'm the fattest one here, everyone here knows the moves, I'm such an outsider..." I had to stop several times and catch my breath and try not to puke,…

To anyone: Feel free to add me! Looking for friends that make posts on their feeds, have public diaries, and even fitbit friends. Username is awkwardsprinkle for both!

UPDATE: Turns out it wasn't my knee! It's my hamstring. I have a nasty pull I guess. The swelling around my knee is compensating for the hamstring injury so I'm told. I ended up taking your advice and going to the class yesterday anyways. I told the instructor in the beginning and she told me to put the weights down when I…

I'm taking a variety of classes, the gym I go to, Boost Fitness, has a different fitness class everyday. They have a yoga class, kickboxing, power lifting, cardio-step, spin, and Zumba. Las week I took the yoga class, kickboxing, and power lifting. After the power lifting, my knee was really swollen. I have knee issues to…

I KNOW! I wear shorts with everything I wear. Also: Never feeling sexy Every time I try to work out I get hurt or have to ice my joints Feeling like I'm the fattest person in a gym Rashes in weird places Everything hurts all the time Finding out you're too big for a seat Being worried you'll break furniture Always looking…

Goodness this can't be true enough. Binge Eating can go as far as being an eating disorder. You really need to determine the WHY you are binging before you can learn how to stop doing it. It's probably not because you're hungry, that's for sure.
