What was your turning point?
When was it that you decided - enough is enough, I have to change my unhealthy lifestyle? Mine was when I jumped on a scale and realized that I was 40 pounds heavier than what I was the last time I checked a few years ago.

Favourite Smoothie Recipes
Hey guys, So I fell off the wagon after quite awhile of logging food and being active, but I am back on and ready to go.

Staggering Calories?
Hey there, guys! I've been here for about three weeks now, and things are going pretty well so far. At first I was trying out 1,200 calories per day, but I felt pretty hungry. So I lowered my goal to 1 pound a week (instead of 2) and came up with 1,350 calories instead. This, in addition to the days I do 1/2 an hour of…

Healthiest Tacos (Can Be Vegan/Vegetarian)

25 Years Old with 40 lbs to Lose!
Hey there! My name is Kimberly, I am twenty-five years old, and I am from Ontario. I used to be what I thought was a perfect size - medium, average - not a pile of bones, but also not a pile of fat. Size 8 or something like that - about 135 pounds or so. I was pretty healthy, ate a lot of good food, and I got my exercise.…
