Just bought a weight set! super excited!
I have been telling my husband that I want to try lifting heavy. I have a desk job and need to lose weight and get in shape.

Trying to understand how this is possible
I had to go to a family member's funeral out of town yesterday and knew I would be eating out at least twice with my extended family some of whom I rode with.

Waking up hungry in the middle of the night
So to give you all a little background on me-when I started my weight loss journey I weighed 235. Over a period of about 9 months I lost down to 155 and looked and felt great. Then my dad passed away and all of a sudden my journey came to a halt. I hadn't really planned on going any lower than around 150 but wanted to…

Son with disability
I have had a very rough morning and really don't know who to turn to so I thought I would let off some steam talking to you dear folks. Perhaps some of you have been through a situation like this before and can give some much needed advice. I have a 17 year old son who has Pervasive Developmental Disorder which is on the…
