I don't usually rant, but...
How is it that for 26 years of my life I have been a nail biter, then one day, woke up and decided I didn't want to do it anymore and havent? But that for 20+ years of my life of being overweight, I can't seem to get motivated enough to lose it. :explode: I wish I could just wake up one day and have all the motivation in…

Does anyone use an exercise ball as their chair at work?
I just bought one and brought it into work today, however, even fully inflated, I sit too low at my desk to use my keyboard. I bought a 75cm ball. Do you have any suggestions on how to elevate the ball so I sit properly at my desk while on it?

I could have lost 50 lbs!
Back in the beginning of July I wrote on my desk calendar how much weight I wanted to lose each week and wrote a final total on 12/30/10 of -50! Well, I got nothing. How sad is that? 5 months went by and I dropped a few pounds, gained back several pounds and now it's time to evaluate. I'm not one for "new years…

I want to drop #'s, he doesn't
Well, it's not that he doesn't want to lose weight, he's just not motivated to get started and keep it up. He know's (as much as I do) what has to be done, yet he doesn't try to change. It's frustrating because we both want to lose weight and get healthy but I feel like his lack of motivation and dedication starts to eat…

How do you learn to breath?
I am a new runner and I am having the HARDEST time learning how to breath when I run. I have read hundreds of articles and it seems that "tummy breathing" rather than "upper lung breathing" is much better for runners, but no mater what I do I always have to slow down and gulp for air! Does anyone have any success stories…

2 small victories in one morning!
For WEEKS I have been saying I want to start getting up early and going to the gym and then I always hit snooze until it's time for work. Well yesterday, my coworker made a bet with me because she had been in the same situation as I. We made a bet that if I went and she didn't she owed me $5 bucks and vice versa. Well...…

Just what I needed to hear!
After my boyfriend and I went for a walk/jog last night, we got home and I took off my t-shirt and put on a tank and walked to the living room and he looked at me and said "wow, you've lost weight!". Just what I needed to hear :-) Even though I am frustrated with the scale because it isn't moving, my clothes feel more…

Worried for the weekend
Im ending my first full 5 days of my "new me" plan. I have stuck to my plan, done more exercising than I thought I could and have been really good about making the right decisions this week for food. It was easy because of the work I do and I am set with my schedule so I ate at the same time each day. Now comes the…
