Losing weight didn't make me happy
Losing weight didn’t make me happier. Being able to run for longer than 10 minutes in a row made me happy. Lifting weights made me happy. Being able to go for long walks with my Mom made me happy. Not obsessing over every single thing I ate made me happy. Learning to cook for myself and for others made me happy. Being able…

40 lbs down!
Before-216 After- 175ish Hello Everyone! So excited to finally post my progress pics after about a year of tracking and lifting consistently.

Running Plateau
I've started running a couple of months ago and I've built up some decent endurance. A month and a half ago, I was able to finally run a mile all the way through (Woo!) but it seems like I've hit a road block.

Unsupportive family
Right now I'm in grad school and I'm currently living at home while working part-time as a substitute teacher. My family is extremely unsupportive of me losing weight and constantly criticize everything I do, especially my food choices. I think my mom has her own issues with her weight (she isn't overweight at all though)…

Working out with a knee injury?
Just came back from my PT and was diagnosed with a knee injury (can't pronounce, let alone spell it). I was told no running, elliptical, or extended walks for 2 weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions for cardio workouts that don't involve using your legs? I know I can do strength training still, but I don't really want to…
