Anyone else with a Garmin VIvofit want to connect with me?
I just got one for my birthday and none of my friends have one so I have no connections yet! Be my friend?

Eat junk food when upset over weight loss?
My roommate lost 12 pounds over a month and she doesn't exercise and eats the worst junk food imaginable. I kick my *kitten* at the gym five days a week and watch every thing I put in my mouth and I've barely lost 2 pounds in that same month. My response? Eat three cookies for breakfast this morning. Feel horrible…

How many calories should each workout burn?
I'm talking specifically about when I'm doing my cardio days. I usually stay on the treadmill/elliptical/stair machine until I've hit 400 calories lost but should I be staying on for more? I do calisthenics afterwards and some weights so it's not my whole workout but I'm wondering if I should be staying on the machines…

So frustrated.
Why is it that I count every calorie I put in my mouth and hit the gym almost daily and the scale barely moves and my roommate eats the worst junk food ever and does a workout video every now and then and LOSES WEIGHT? I'm losing my mind over here.

Training for a Warrior Dash?
I have signed up for the local Warrior Dash and I'm a little lost on how to train for it. It's a 5K obstacle course with obstacles like walls to scale and fire to jump over. How do I train for this? I can mostly run a 5K right now depending on the terrain. I am at the gym at least 5 days a week and do 30 minutes of cardio…

What gives with the nasty comments about my weight loss?
My sister said to me just the other day, "You need to lose more weight if you want to be in my wedding." My good friend said to me, in reference to my weight loss, "I need to start working out. I don't want to be the fat one." Why do people think that because you're losing weight all of a sudden it's okay to say nasty…

Mat and dumbbell exercises?
Any good mat and/or dumbbell exercise routines you suggest? I always see other girls at the gym go through their routines at the gym and want to develop my own. I have certain things I already do but I want to expand on it. I'm training to run a 5K and hopefully, one day, a marathon. Any suggestions would be awesome.…

Calories in a banana...Y U NO THE SAME?
I eat bananas pretty regularly and I cannot seem to find anyone who agrees with how many calories are in them. On here there are several that range from 200 calories (Yikes!) to 90 calories. Calorie Count has them at 105 calories. What's the deal? Who do we listen to on fruit and vegetable calorie counts?

Irrational fear of losing weight? Help?
So I'm extremely close to being under 200 and one would think that would make me excited but I'm having a lot of anxiety over it. I've been over 200 pounds for at least 12 years and I have no idea what I'm going to look like as a skinny adult. I have no idea what to expect and the unknown is starting to psych me out. Do…

Want to join a sport!
I want to join a sports league but I'm not sure what. I'm still about 80 pounds away from my goal so I'd be a little shy about joining something with serious competitors, like volleyball. I was thinking canoeing, mostly because I'm terrified of the water and I want to get over that but I also want to to do something I…

Worst negative comment about your weight?
So, hanging out with my sister last night and she brings up something she thought I remembered but I can’t: At a recent family event, one of our cousins comes up to her to chat. They haven’t seen each other in awhile and she reminds him that she is Rebecca. He says, “Oh, yeah. The thin one.” This made me really depressed…

Inches haven't changed! Help?
I've been working out and counting my calories regularly since November and every week my weight would go down and so would my measurements. I've been keeping track of my waist, bust, hips, thigh and arm measurements and I've seen a steady decrease. My waist and bust measurements stopped moving about four weeks ago even…

Excited to meet you all!
Hello everyone! My name is Lydia. I’m 32, single and a professional costume designer. I am an avid gamer, book reader, film connoisseur, amateur historian, art lover and crazy cat lady. I am also fat. Not “I need to lose a few pounds” fat but more “I’m going to die in a few years because I eat too many damn Cheetos” fat.…
