I'm 27 tomorrow. People over 30, what advice do you have for me before my 20s are over?
Be frank. Tell me what crimes to cram into the last 3 years of my 20s bucket list, or what I should be preparing for? =)

Body lift surgery post-weight loss
So I've been on this site for a while and have maintained a 120 weight loss for a few years. I have been looking into surgery for an upper body lift for now and wanted to connect with people who have gotten any excess skin removed for support and discussion about the experience. Please add me if you've gotten any body…

Grad students unite
Hi, I'm Christina. So I've been here for a while now and have lost the majority of my weight. However, I just started grad school so I'd like more friends who are also trying to juggle school, work and fitness for support. So far I've been able to manage but it's always helpful to have friends who are on the same boat. So,…

Does being single embarrass you?
I get pretty embarrassed when friends and family ask if I have a boyfriend and I have to admit "no." It just makes me feel like they'll assume I'm unwanted and pity me. I'm also very uncomfortable when I'm with a group of friends all speaking about their significant others and I'm the quiet one with no input because I'm…

What are you listening to while working out?
Hey folks, I love listening to music while working out but I'm getting tired of the same old songs on my ipod.

I'd love to hear…

Only One Pound
Came across this and thought I'd share: Hello, do you know me? If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat, And I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound! Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or…

We all love our family but...
Don't they make it hard to stick to your diets sometimes? I wish my Puerto Rican family would understand that just because I've cut off rice and beans and tostones (fried plantains) does not mean I'm starving myself. It's almost amusing when they try to tempt me with these meals and say salads aren't real food. Don't get…

I'm the pickiest eater in the world.
So, a year ago I lost 25 pounds eating nothing but cereal for breakfast, salads for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. Then I just got so tired of eating the same thing I began to cheat here and there until ulitmately, I gained like 8 pounds back. I know there are variety of things to eat but I'm so damn picky. I don't…
