Fat Fashion - Where Do You Shop?
Where do all you bigger ladies like to shop? I just bought myself an awesome sweater with gold dinosaurs on it and became way too excited over the find. What do you wear that makes you feel the most confident? 'I'm lazy since I am in college still and I hate having to "get ready" for the day, so I usually wear leggings,…

How does being short equal having to eat less calories?
I've noticed this trend amongst the short ladies and this belief that since we are short, that affords us less calories?? Can someone explain how this works because I don't quite understand.

Emotional outbursts while working out?
While during circuit training I had a spontaneous outburst of tears. I just started crying for no reason whatsoever. Has anyone else experienced that? Maybe it really is "fear leaving the body" as Jillian Michaels says. Ever since I've started working out and really focusing on my health, I've had an array of emotions that…
