Lost my way
August of 2020 marked one year since I started my journey. I have lost 80 pounds and more than multiple inches. Pre pandemic I walked everyday, pilates 5-6 times a week, and QuickHit 2-3 times a week. I've tried to maintain this routine as much as possible given the restrictions. I am so proud of my accomplishment and I…

Before and after!
Never thought I would post before and (almost) after pictures. My goal is 28 more pounds. I still have a "hide my figure in big clothes" mindset, but not as much as before. I never thought I would have an issue buying and wearing clothes that actually fit and show my figure.

Weight loss slow down
How close to your goal weight should you expect a slow down? I have about 30-34 pounds till my desired goal weight and I have experienced a slow down. I would like to lose 2 pounds a week. Is that too ambitious? Is there something I can do to "delay" the weight loss slow down?

Weight gain with new exercise program
I understand you can gain (water) weight after starting a new exercise program. I just started an isokinetic program and have completed two sessions. The day after the scale showed a gain of one pound. It took about three days and I had a drop below where I started. I'm not too concerned about the fluctuation of weight,…

Dealing with hunger!
I started a weight loss (and health) journey in August. I am less than halfway to my goal. I have lost 47 pounds. My program consists of a five week losing phase and a three week maintenance phase (and repeat).

Eating out
What do you do when you are eating out and can find no nutritional information? Some small restaurants do not provide anything and many times no one can tell you specifics about the food you are eating.
