There will always be someone younger, prettier, thinner etc. It's about accepting yourself in your entirety. Your flaws and your strengths. We all have them - but it's a total choice of which parts we want to focus on. It is super easy to stare at ourselves and let that inner voice belittle us. The first step is to…

I understand the need for approval, especially from your fam. And I understand how disappointing it is when you don't get the recognition that you deserve. But this is YOUR life, and YOUR body. Don't listen to someone else's expectations of you. Set your own expectations! And hang out with others who will support you and…

Anybody who is actually interested in being with like minded people to help each other out??

Why eat clean if you struggle with it? Just because something is a struggle doesn't mean you shouldn't even attempt to get better. I like doing theses challenges cause it helps motivate me and many members have found success in their weight loss! And that's why we're here, aren't we??

No problem! It made me giggle :)

To me clean eating is eating as close to the way nature intended...so avoiding man made/processed foods.

For anyone else thats interested, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/166800023512809/ :-) Ali

There's still some room in the group. I'm looking for people who are wanting support and will participate in the group. Any more takers? :-)

Anyone else?? The more the merrier!! :)

Woot! I'll be sending all of you a message with the link in a min :)

I grew up in a house where phsical activity was not encouraged and there was a tremendous amount of food. Both my parents are obese. They don't eat a lot of junk food - they just eat alot and don't move. I never played any sports and was quite bad at them. My father also owns a fine foods store so there was always soooo…

It is a shame for a man (woman) to never see the strengthand beauty of which his (her) body is capable of ~Socrates

I'm a momma and I lost the weight. Here's my transformation video if you want to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqJexqCEMhA

Nutrition is more important than calories. You can eat 1500 calories worth of candy and junk, but you're body will still be starving for nutrients. Feed the body the body with what it needs while keeping an eye on the calorie intake and the weight will come off.

I will add everyone who has requested up to this point, but it is starting to get a little full. I do like doing groups like this, so if you want to know about any future ones, just add me as a friend :)

YAY!! anybody else interested? The more the merrier :)

Are you doing any fitness? Eating is 80% of the challenge, but building muscle will help your metabolism to burn. I can't see your diary so I don't know what a typical day looks like for you: I did the following along with regular exercise and I got great results: Breakfast: Oatmeal with pb, chia seeds and almond milk…

Woo Hoo!!

Anyone else?? :)

Thanks Ladies :)

I'm starting a challenge group on facebook and you're welcome to join if you want. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/213090598843644/ Hope to see you there! Ali

Great! I'll message you the deets in a minute :)

My fitness pal does help cause it keeps you accountable...but unfortunatly you still can't eat whatever you want and lose weight. You can eat candy bars all day and meet your calorie goal. You will lose weight but you will cause your bloodsugar to spike and you'll end up super hungry for most of the day. And as soon as you…

Dude! You avoided candy for 14 months and you call yourself a faliure?? It's a slip up. We ALL slip up. Take it as a learning experience. And you only have 2 lbs? How much have you lost already? Focus on what you've acheived and know that the number on the scale is not a representation of you! You are MUCH more then the…

Hey Nora! I only have one kid but I remember that feeling of not feeling like my body belonged to me. Add me as a friend if you want some support! I'm happy to help. :)

Everybody has days like this. Just breathe through the craving and push through the discomfort. Try to imagine how you're going to feel when you reach your goal. And as with anything, it will get easier. I had an uber stressful day todayand totally wanted cookies and ice cream. But instead I sat down and slowly drank some…

I think everybody goes through fluctuations of motivation. The truth is motivation is not enough cause it never lasts. You need to make a commitment to yourself...that you deserve to be the best possible you. You have to determine what's really stopping you. You have your WHY, which is key - but is fear stopping you?? Fear…

Negative people are always going to be negative. Its ****ty, but know that you're right...you're accomplishments are fantastic!!!
