Never feel hungry and never feel full
Does anyone else have this? I eat at regular intervals (8am, 11:00am, 1:00pm, 5:00pm). But I find I very very rarely ever feel hungry and I can't remember the last time I felt overly full. I eat my planned meals (yes sometimes I cheat, but rarely) and when I am done, I am just done, no hunger but no full feeling. Someone…

I did it - I lost half my weight
I can't believe this as I write it but I have lost exactly half my size. In May 2012 I had some blood work done and the Dr. came back and said the test result for likelihood of a heart attack was extremely high. In that second I knew I had to lose weight. I had high blood pressure, was borderline diabetic, and had…

Body Fat % - I am confused on what is good and what isn't
So I bought a scale that does weight, body fat, muscle, water and bone mass. I went on it and it says I have 15.9% body fat, which I thought was great, but when I started looking up body fat % weight charts and what is good they say that my body fat % is too low???? So I am confused, I thought the lower % the better.…

Miracle Noodles
Hey eveyrone I just ordered some Miracle Noodles, Angel Hair and Fettuccini and I am looking for recipes to make with them. I love garlic and oil pasta, but I heard someone say that didn't work well with these types of noodles? Not sure if that is correct or not. Any suggestions would be great.

NSV - Had to have ring resized.
So, I finally had to do it, I had to have my engagement ring resized. My engagement and wedding band were both falling off so I finally decided that I had to get them resized. I think I kept putting this off because for me, it was the no turning back point, once I resized my rings I definately could not gain back weight.…

One year later, 118 Pounds down, 10 to go!!
So here I am on my one year anniversary (to the day, started April 4, 2012) that I made the conscious decision to lose weight. When I started I didn’t have a goal weight in mind, the only thing driving me was that I needed to get healthy, and I knew I needed to do it now. I got a blood test result back from the Dr. that…

Exercise the hardest part to maintain over time
So I have done really well with weight loss and changing my whole outlook on food and exercise. I have 100% got the food changes down pat and will have no problem maintaining it.

My problem is, while my stomach has shrunk considerably I still have a rather large belly that hangs, I thought it would turn more…

BIG NSV - Too small to shop in Plus Size store
I am now officially too small to shop in a plus size store. I went to buy new bras on the weekend and the lady at the store says I am one size too small to shop there for bras.

Is anyone else tired after exercise?
So maybe this is just me or my lack of knowledge, but I am always tired after I exercise. I always would hear people say how much energy they had after exercising and how great they felt, but I don't feel that way. Don't get me wrong mentally I feel proud of myself that I did it (I am not a particular fan of exercise but I…
