What convinced YOU to shed the weight?
For me, it was hearing all the statistics about how "blah-blah-blah percent of Americans are overweight." I hating knowing I was part of that percentage! :(

Experiment time.
How old do I look? Lately I've been having people guessing my age waaaaay off, and I'm curious as to what some strangers who have never met me think! http://i55.tinypic.com/rlkw0h.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/2s9ophw.jpg (on the left) http://i52.tinypic.com/oh5mvm.jpg (left again) http://i54.tinypic.com/9sros9.jpg

Meal replacement protien bars?
I know a lot of people on here are strongly against that kinda stuff, but anyone wanna reassure me they're okay? Haha. Today I have work from 12-5 and I know it's gonna be really busy and I most likely won't get a chance to eat, so I was gonna have one before in hopes it'll hold me over until dinner time. Good idea? Bad?

Anyone else dealing with a lack of motivation at home?
My mom gets so mad when I try to eat healthy or work out too much. She can't stand when I go to the gym and hates when I buy low fat/low sugar/diet foods. She doesn't like that I do wheat products over white products. I asked for a heart rate monitor for Christmas and she wasn't happy about that. She doesn't like that I…

Why am I gaining weight?! Heeeelp.
OKAY so my highest weight was 156 about a year ago. I started working out more and watching what I was eating and lost 20 pounds in a matter of months. I began getting frustrated when my weight loss started slowing down, and long story short, developed anorexia along with bulimic tendencies. My lowest weight was 123. I got…

Zig zagging calories.
Anyone wanna convince me they had success with this? I'm recovering from an eating disorder, so going over my calories and seeing that dreaded red number is a huuuuge fear of mine, but if I REALLY am convinced that it'll work, I might be willing to give it a go!

Who else gets frustrated when you don't like a certain food?
For me it's strawberries. They SEEM so good and LOOK so good and I like them in smoothies but when it comes to straight up strawberries, I cannot get myself to like them!

Late night snacking?
What are your opinions on it? I've lost about 25 pounds so far and want to lose about another 30. I work a pretty active part time job, and sometimes don't get home until 11. I'm STARVING by then, but I know people say eating near bedtime is bad. I've tried upping my calories through the day, or eating a bit more at work,…
