My Ultimate Goal..Who is with me? *pics*
I'm tired of being obsessed with the scale.. and most of the time the scale cooperates with me. I want to start believing in the person I am now and forgetting about the person I used to be. This is who she was... This is who she is now... I can't wait to see who she becomes! :)

watching my families suicide
So I never really realized how bad of shape my parents are in until this weekend. I guess it's because I wasn't paying attention to my own health and now I am. My mom and my dad both are easily 150 plus lbs overweight. My mom is a diabetic and she's not following the diet she should be following at all. My dad drinks 18…

Open your food diary to public....
Or don't ask for help and advice. "I've been counting my calories and staying under and eating healthy and exercising and watching sodium and drinking water and trying everything i can think of and nothing is working". Sound familiar? No one can give you sound advice if you are unwilling to bare it all and be a little…

1200 cals this way works...
So after spending 45 minutes reading about how I "should be banned" because of my diet.. thank you oh shirtless arrogant one, I thought I'd offer just a little advice to my friends who are doing a 1200 calorie diet and having a little struggle with it. 1200 can be pretty tough because it's not a lot. But, 1200 produces…

Any one else addicted to the scale/
So.. I used to laugh about it, but now I'm thinking it's become a real problem. I can't stay off the scale. I used to be able to weigh in just once every other week, then it moved to once a week, then to every time I went to the gym. Now I have a good scale at home and I'm on it 2 or 3 times a day. Not only that.. but if I…

Leg cramps cure
So I was having crazy cramps mostly in my calves, always during workouts. It would tighten up so much that I would have to stop completely because I could rub them out but as soon as I extended the muscle again, it would cramp again. I tried more water, rest, potassium, calcium, magnesium, stretches, rolling them before…

People who make you feel unsuccessful
So, I've lost 50 lbs since Thanksgiving. Most of the time I'm crazy excited about where I am now compared to where I was. Most of the time, I even feel fit, more attractive, and content with who I am now even though I still have about 32 lbs to go. However, there is one person who always makes me feel unsuccessful. My…

running- how to control my breathing
I struggle so much running... I've always struggled with a little exercise induced asthma but I use an inhaler before my workouts and during if needed to control those symptoms. I thought the out of control breathing in the beginning was mostly just because I was fat and out of shape, but I have been working with a…
