question about wearing high heels at different weights
For those of you who have lost a lot of weight and could not wear high heels in the beginning because of the extra weight making it too painful, around approximately what weight did you find wearing heels to be bearable? Or is this just a pipe dream of mine? :laugh: I'm 5'5", if it makes a difference.

NSV at the gym
I'm still a bit in shock from this... I go to a shadowboxing class at my gym every Tuesday night. I'm the only overweight person in the class, and I always stand in the back so that I don't have to worry about people looking at how out of shape I am, how unable I am to do some of the movements, etc. I've been taking the…

looking for people who eat 30+ g fiber/day
One of the biggest challenges for me is figuring out how to get more fiber in my meals. I already eat whole grain everything and tons of fruits and veg, and there are only so many servings of beans I can take in a day.
