Own it like a Boss!
As my son says when we are playing anything. He always tells me to do my best and own it like a boss! Like when we are playing baseball. He tells me to own the ball like a boss and show it where to go! (I am not the best at throwing). If we are playing a video game he tells me to own my character like a boss and tell it…

Races with my son
I would like to start a walking/running program with my son that is 8. He absolutely loves to run and I used to. That is how I lost all my weight the first time I was truly successful in reaching my target weight. I was thinking of planning a race in the next few months, but wanted to know if there are age restrictions?…

Most frustrating thing in my life....
I think losing weight or should I say trying to lose weight has been the most frustrating thing I am trying to do in my life. It is not an easy thing to do. I hate when people say, "it's easy - just eat less and work out more". Well, it isn't that easy. I have to lose this weight once and for all...but it is really tough.…

Family Support
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has the same problem I do and how you deal with it? I am doing very well with eating healthy and maintaining my calorie intake.

Harder to lose weight when you get older?
Hi, i just turned 40 and although I am happy that I have been losing weight, it seems like it is much harder and taking longer. Is it because of my age. I remember people saying that the older you get, the harder it is to lose weight. Is that true? It is very frustrating, wondering what other people's experiences are?…

Tattoos
I would really like to get a tattoo when I lose half the weight I am working towards. On the other side of the fence, I feel like I should wait til I lose all the weight. Does it make a difference? I am worried about how it will look after I lose more weight, or does it not make a difference? This will be my first one, so…

Keeping weight loss a secret?
I realized the other day that this is a whole new way for me to do things. When I have tried to change my eating habits and lose weight in the past, I would pretty much tell everyone I knew. Of course, I never got where I was going with losing weight and never said anything more about it. Now that I am really losing weight…

Exercise Classes?
I work out daily at home. I either do a exercise video, use my stationary bike or go walking. I am thinking of taking some type of exercise class once/twice a week just to do something different. I am thinking of kickboxing or pilates. Any other suggestions that would help with weight loss and toning? Thanks!

Body getting used to the same exercise?
Hi! I have been doing the same workout for about a month now, I usually do 30 - 60 minutes on my exercise bike. If I only do 30 minutes on the bike, then I walk 30 minutes. I try one way or another to get 60 minutes of exercise in a day. I am staying under my calories, but for the past couple of days the scale is going up.…
