Dieting vs. Lifestyle Changing...what do I do???
So last year I was super weight loss girl. Beating challenges and murdering pounds left and right! I lost 50 pounds in 6 months! And then things slowed and I had a ridiculous desperate need for any and all junk food and laziness and everything ground to a halt and then started going backwards and I've gained back 37 pounds…

Difficulty Putting Myself Back on Track
Does anyone have an awful time getting back on track with exercise/healthy eating once you slip up? I can do great for a week and then something emotional usually gets to me so I eat something bad, then since I screwed up, I see that as an excuse to continue eating crap and not moving. Is this junkfood addiction? Is this…

Arguing with Myself on Cals and Exercise
I want to burn 1 pound a week through calorie deficit = 1300 cals a day and 1 pound through exercise....600 cals a workout @ 6 times a week. -Am I nuts? I'm hitting energy slumps in workouts and I REALLY, REALLY don't want to give up my 2 lbs a week.

"Coaching Yourself Thin" - The book, ever ready it?
I just bought this and am about 1/2 way through and I gotta say it's been so very helpful. Even though I've lost 57 pounds without using the common sense laid out in the book, it really is how I should've started from the beginning. Had I read the book back then, I really wouldn't have taken ANY of it to heart because it's…

Have you ever been in "the slump"?
Ahhh, here I am again. Was back on track for a week and then Labor Day weekend hit and I ate everything in sight and then some. Now I don't want to workout again and I don't want to eat healthy again. It's been a battle like this for a couple months now. I get off track, drag myself back on again and get off track, drag…

Troubleshooting myself out loud...long.
I'm here because I said that when I would start having issues, I would seek assistance. All these websites and such are always like, "You can't do it alone! Aaaaarrghhh!" lol Anyway, I've done it alone since January and had great success but now it's all come down to a halt and I need to figure out why. January through the…
