Post-binge GUILT!
Ahhh I'm so angry at myself. Last weekend was really tough for me: I went away for an annual girl's trip with my friends, and while I wasn't terrible with my eating there was tons of booze involved. Of course, come Monday morning I was sleep deprived and hung over, and had major cravings that I eventually succumbed too.…

190 pounds?
I'm 5'8" and my first goal is to hit 190 lbs. Any talls girl out there have pics that I can use as motivation? It's hard to picture myself at that weight right now.

UH OH! The dreaded plateau...
After weeks of consistently losing weight, I think I have finally reached a plateau. I still have about 30 pounds to lose until I'm at my healthy weight, so I know it's not just a "natural" plateau. I work out 5 days a week doing a combo of cardio and strength training, and I know my diet hasn't slipped because I…

Understanding supplements - should I be taking them?
I'm wondering who out there takes supplements? I'm a 5'8" female, 187 lbs., and have been losing weight consistently for the past 4 months. I work out 5-6 times per week, mostly consisting of a variety of group fitness classes (cardio, strength training, kick boxing, Zumba). Would supplements be a good idea? Curious to see…

Am I overtraining?
I've been working out consistently 5-6 times a week for the past 4 months. My routines are quite varied but typically involve a lot of group classes (mix of cardio/weights, Zumba, kickboxing), with the occasional treadmill and free weights session that I do on my own. Lately I've been having a dull ache in my hips, mostly…

Loose skin -- how to cope
I've lost 40 lbs. to date and I feel fantastic. The only trade-off is I'm starting to see a little bit of loose skin. It's not a huge problem at this point, but I'm still about 27 pounds away from my goal so I can only anticipate that I will develop more -- it's inevitable. I do my best to try and ward it off by having…

How long does it take to get rid of "booze bloat"?
It's the Tuesday after a long weekend, and my scale isn't exactly my best friend this morning. I wasn't TERRIBLE this weekend, but I ate some foods that aren't a part of my regular menu (lot's of chips and salsa, burgers, etc.) and of course, I topped it off with some cold adult beverages. I'm up 2.6 pounds this morning,…

Post-weekend weight gain
Anyone else fall victim to this? I know it's not all about the number on the scale, and it's likely just water retention... but does anyone have tips for getting through this without getting discouraged, or quick fixes to shed those pesky pounds?

ONE-DERLAND!
After 6 years I have finally taken the trip back down to one-derland, and it feels amazing! My weight has been a bit a rollercoaster over the years, and although I had a few successful bouts of weight loss I just could never seen to get back into the 100's. I'd move up and down the scale every few months, but I just…

Most effective regime?
Hi all! I'm just curious what people have found to be the most effective regime for weight loss? Obviously every body responds differently, but I'm curious to see what people have had success with. HIIT? Strength? Aerobics? What's your go-to? ;)

Crazy scale or crazy weightloss?
So I've noticed a weird trend on my scale.... I'll weigh myself every 2-3 days and the number will stay exactly the same, then one day I'll be down like 2 or so pounds. My scale shows to the nearest 0.1 so it just seems weird that it wouldn't show the gradual weight loss. New scale time?

LADIES! Anyone tried Foxy Kickboxing before?
I think we only have this in B.C. and Alberta, but I'm wondering if any gals in here have tried a Foxy Kickboxing class before? I've heard kickboxing is a killer workout so I wanted to give it a try, I start next week! Would love to hear some feedback! :)

190 pounds?
I am 5'8" and my first goal is to hit 190 pounds -- I know that everyone's body is different but does anyone have any pictures of what they looked like at this weight (preferably a female). I feel like I have a very skewed perception of my own body so external support helps with motivation :) Thank you!

Anyone with PCOS?
Just wondering if there's anyone here living with PCOS? I'm really worried that I'm never going to achieve my weight loss goals if PCOS is acting as a barrier.

Body image issues in bed
I've recently started losing weight and although I am happier with my body as a whole, I'm still feeling insecure when it comes to being intimate. I just feel "floppy" and as though I can't fully express myself with a partner because I'm preoccupied with how my stomach looks, or that I'm squishing him. Does anyone have any…

I don't understand how I gained weight?
I've hit a little bump in my road to weight loss. The past few months of 2014 were particularly bad for me in terms of my diet and exercise routine, so like many people I use the new year as motivation to clean up my act. The first week I did great and lost just over 3 pounds. The second week I was very discouraged when I…
