Losing 20 pounds on a small frame help
Hi there! I'm 5'3 and 150-153 lbs and this frustrates me. I lost 10 pounds in March and got down to 143 but ballooned back up to 153 after all my college finals stress.

Need help staying motivated under stress
So I'm in college and I always do better with sticking to my calorie goal when I'm not worrying about writing papers and tests.

So Frustrated!

Weight gain
so last week wasn't the best I'll admit, but I finally managed to weigh myself today and I gained 2 pounds! I'm so upset. This means I'm pretty much back to where I started 4 weeks ago! I don't know what to do. I'm extremely upset and now seriously lacking motivation.

A little depressed
So last week wasn't a very good one for me. Fitness-wise I met all my goals but, I just overage too much and had lots of pizza. But I woke up this morning feeling really defeated. I didn't weigh myself because I was too afraid and I was rushing to get out the door. Part of me is just sad I guess because my junior year of…

I Binged. What Now?
So yup, I binged for the first time in 21 days. I was doing so well, but my friends (and myself) wanted to make banana bread with some bad bananas lying around and I probably had 1000-1300 calories from it. I'm not as disappointed as I'd thought I'd be, but that could be because I lost a pound this morning and was feeling…

Runners: Sports Bra Chafing
I'm gonna start by saying I have big boobs and I usually double up on sports bras when I run. I'm training for a half marathon and have been running about 30 miles a week and every run past 5 miles involves sports bra chafing. It's the WORST. Usually I can make it through the run fine, but now that I'm running 6+ miles 5…
