Starting over in a whole new way.
Last year I lost 30 lbs using this sight. I was doing great, having a blast and feeling wonderful. Then I got sick. Spent 3 months in bed. Had horrible pain. I've gained 10 back and feel like crap. I have a rare disease called Romberg Syndrome. The main and most noticeable effect is an atrophy to the right side of my face.…

Sabotaging myself
You know how you look in the mirror and never quite see yourself the way it is? 30 lbs ago I would look in the mirror and think it's not that bad and then I'd see a picture and go whoa. Now I think I'm doing it again. I feel better, I get tons of compliments, and fit in some really great clothes I haven't fit in a while. I…

Lonely at the top....
I know I am actually far from the top. I still have a lot of work to do, but the healthier I get, and the better I do, the more I notice people around me disappearing. I don't talk about it at all around anyone who is not doing the same thing as me. I don't flaunt or brag. I've lost 25lbs and not one person outside my…

Help with shoes.
This may be a silly question, but here goes... Who would I go to to look at my feet and help me find the right shoe, inserts, etc.? A podiatrist? We live in a small town and I don't trust Big 5 to give me the accurate info. I'm doing Turbo Fire now and have really bumped up the plyometrics and my feet need help! Thanks in…
