How to feel less hungry?
The hardest thing about the lifestyle change that comes with weight loss commitment is constantly feeling hungry. I thought it would fade, but 10 days in it's still with me.

How to lose belly flab?
So in recent months I've developed a pouch of belly flab. I've lost weight overall, and my legs (and butt) are slimming down, but the belly fat has appeared. I'll admit that I'm drinking more beer than I used to, but not THAT much. Any tips on getting rid of my stomach fat? I know that cutting calories and exercise will…

How did we get here?
I keep wondering to myself how I got to be the way I am now.

I'm not…

New and looking for motivation
I joined a few hours ago and I've been really enjoying reading through some of the forums and posts. What a great community! I'm a 27 year old graduate student. My weight has bounced up and down over the years--I was chubby in junior high but lost it all in high school, gained weight my freshman year of college and then…

Exercise with broken foot?
Hi all, I hadn't been going to the gym at all for the last year and a half and I've been eating horribly because of grad school related stress. I finally passed some major exams and have the mental space and determination again to begin a real exercise regime. I was going to the gym 5x per week and doing about 40 minutes…
