NSV for the month of January
This is not your normal success story as the last two weeks I have gained weight I am not proud of. What I am proud of is what made it happen. See for the last two weeks I have sat on my butt and studied and gone to class over 16 hours a day. I have decided on a new career path and needed to take a state course to get…

Chronic pain
I am not sure where else to post this. I have not yet started my new exercise regiment. I am eating a decent diet with complex carbs, protein, fruits and veg and little refined sugar. I am having a huge issue with chronic pain. My legs, inner thigh, lower back, and feet feel as though I am being burned, shooting cramps and…

Needed a boost to keep going
Here is a face comparison shot from last year to now. Over 50 pounds lost and another 20 to go! Feel like the silly Jenny Craig commercial with the lady babbling about her double chin being gone :)

It is just a number, you are only as old as you feel....BLAH BLA BLAH!!! When I was a kid (which I am sure was only like 5 years ago) I thought by now I would be living a much different life of…

Bunched up under garmets
Okay people, seriously what is the issue this week in the forums? We have 20 pages of bible bashing, 12 pages of one persons vent turning into a fight with chipmunks and squirrels and many others that have turned in haters gunna hate pages of people just being jerks. I have a secret for all of the overly serious people out…

muscle weighs more than fat?
OKAY before I get poked, kicked, slapped and generally beaten on in the forums I am NOT saying that muscle weighs more than fat. Where did this myth come from? Why are we lead to believe that a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh a different amount? (see what I did there) I know when I was VERY skinny as a kid and…

What body part doesn't bother you?
I didn't know what else to call this topic. I am about to embark on a summer I hope to be filled with horse back riding. The sport/ hobby I consider heaven on earth. With this said by the end of summer my straight frame will be pear shaped. My thighs get huge with muscle and oddly enough I LOVE IT! I know you pear shapes…

Hot new spot reducing exercise for women only
Because I have been on a diet for almost a year I have decided I am an expert. Here is a new exercise as we all loose weight and it seems to leave our breasts and form a tire around our centers and everyone knows fat is just pee waiting to leave the body. If you stand on your head for 5 minutes a day for 30 days all the…

Coffee
Hi group, I am a self proclaimed coffee addict. Recently I have been wondering if coffee is the reason I have plateaued. I drink close to a pot a day. I drink lots of water as well. Thinking of trying a week of *gulp* one cup a day. Has anyone else here limited their coffee? I am afraid of the repercussions since I have…

Favorite healthy meal
What is everyone's favorite healthy meal? It tastes good and makes you excited to eat healthy? I just popped some zucchini, summer squash and left over chicken breast in a saute with a little coconut oil and some seasonings. Or sometimes I bake up spaghetti squash make a healthy from scratch alfredo and add a few shrimp.…

200 to 145 with pics

Perception Struggles
What is your biggest self perception issue you are trying to deal with? Mine is while I know I have done well I still don't see it as enough. I am more critical of size 8 me than I was of size 14/16 me. Working out those head games for myself. What are you working on and how do you do it?

Will I ever have a tone tummy again?
I have been working my but off for a while now and while I can see a little change in my mid section it is not the change I want to see. I have had two laproscopic procedures. One to do some work in my parts and another to remove my gal bladder. To do both because of the issues they had to cut me up in more places than…

Exercise with pets
I took my dog out for a run with me today thinking he would like it, he did of course it was bonding time. I went to feed him tonight, he gets a cup in the AM and a cup in the PM of very high quality pet food (I believe he should get good stuff). Well tonight the thought hit me: he has maintained all winter on 2 cups a…

Calling personal Trainers: Timing
Question for the personal trainers out there and NO this is not about meal timing! Whoo not opening that can of worms on here. If though meal timing doesn't matter does exercise timing? Morning or night which is better. Recently I was doing it at night just before bed, that's when i had time, but hubby changed to days so…

Thinking of cutting ties with scale
HELP! I started my journey 10 months ago. I have lost 54 of the almost 70 I want gone. The scale is my security blanket. I step on it daily to make sure I haven't put something I shouldn't have into my body that made me bloat as I know it is impossible to gain a pound of true fat on what I am eating. I want to put the…

Upping my calories
I have been seeing a lot of great posts and wonderful information about how upping your calories can help you loose weight. I want to try it. Problem: I have been eating 1200 to 1300 for so long that I have learned how to cook without butter, oils, and major fats. I can make massively filling meals that hit all my…

Skin help!
SO I have lost a bunch of weight but I have major stretch marks because of 10 years of being over weight. I look like an albino tiger and not in an AWE look at that way! I am horribly allergic to coco butter and shea butter. Anyone use a product that helps minimize the look and firm up the skin without these two products?

NSV
I have moved a lot in the last year. My husband through all of these moves has been so annoyed that I have not been able to lift. It has led to many fights. I started my journey near the 200s I am down 54 pounds. I helped a friend move this week and low and behold now that I am not lugging around 54 excess pounds of me I…
