The dreaded period binge...
5 pieces of pizza at 3am because I was craving it. I really regret it. The scale jumped from all the bloating and I can't tell where I am really at. I am ready for this period to be over so I can stay on track and get a good idea of my weight. I'm not recording my weight until it drops below my last recorded weight. I feel…

low budget and food shelf tips
It seems like I eat more carbs than I'd like because carbs are generally cheaper to buy for me and the food shelf gives me a lot of carbs. I'd like suggestions on cheap healthy foods or even a grocery list that I could use next time I go shopping. I am on a budget of $100 per month or even less for food. Poverty sucks. But…

what is the point in exercising?
I need some motivation because my calorie goal is already as low as it gets. If I exercise, I technically should just be eating more, but then it makes exercise feel pointless. I need to get out of this mindset so I thought maybe some of you educated exercise folks could hit me with some good ol facts to help me see the…

Advice? Did my first workout in a long time
I did half weight training and half cardio for a total of 40 min. I did legs, arms, shoulders, and pecs. I am sore as all hell. I want to go back to the gym today anyways but I'm not sure if I should push through the pain and try to do some more weight training or if I should just stick with cardio and give the weights a…

I have a confession to make...

I've only been on it for a few days but already it's drastically reduced my appetite and made it easier to stick to my 1,200 calorie goal which some people say is too low. But this is the goal my doctor told me was safe for me. I kind of…

Friends?
I can be just as negative as I am positive. I want someone I can *kitten* to as well as share my success. I will listen and do the same. I'm a 200+lb 25 year old from the midwest. I live alone with my cats and go to school online. I work part time and I am trying to get an education so I can make a career helping others. I…

Diet pop...does it have to go?
I cut out sugary drinks but I still drink a bit of diet pop. I don't know if I should cut it out. What do you guys think?

want to hear from people who were 250+
So I've lowered my calorie goal per my doctors recommendations because I felt as if the weight was coming off too slowly. I now eat 1,200-1,290 calories a day and the weight is flying off. 5 pounds in 9 days. One of my big concerns is skin. When I get closer to my goal weight, I imagine I am going to have some extra skin.…

weight loss journey making me obsessive
It's like I am painfully aware of my desire to lose weight all the time. I know tracking my calories is good for my journey, but I feel so obsessive. Every weigh-in, every food tracked, every hour of everyday, I am painfully aware of how far I have to go. I want to lose about 80 more pounds and it's not going to be easy. I…
