Over-eating & instant gratification; a return to fitness
Hi, my name's Karen! I fell off of the wagon about 2 years ago when I got a job, and I've been lazy about working out and eating healthy ever since.

Example, there's a new episode of my favorite game coming out today. I have such…

Struggling with a toxic environment
Warnings for emotional TMI! Right now I'm struggling with a toxic home. My sister has depression and several other illnesses, and never leaves the home. She has stolen from our family in thousands of dollars - from credit cards. Like a drug addict. My mother's ex fiance was bipolar and went loco, and spiraled out of…

Starting again after a hard fall + Questions
Hi, I'm Karen, and I'm struggling to lose weight-- but most importantly to feel fit and happy. After about two years of pure nonstop drama in my home, I'm trying to start losing weight again. I stopped during Christmas in 2012, but since then I've gained 70 pounds. I went from 210 lbs to 280. Seeing how far I've fallen…
