Diabetic Diet
I haven't been officially diagnosed, getting blood work done on saturday, but at the very least I'm showing signs of it, so for the meantime, I'm at least pre-diabetic. I have no idea what to do. What to eat/what not to eat. Help me make a shopping list? :smile:

What should I do?
I'm currently 20 and I live with my mom. She's a major junk food junky, doesn't know how to cook (so naturally, I don't either), and she buys all our food. Never are there fruits, veggies, or anything FRESH. Everything is out of a box, can, or frozen. Usually stuff found in boxes and cans, unless intentionally health meals…

Looking for active friends!
Hi! :smile: My name is Lauren, I'm a 20 year old female on a journey to lose an overall 140 pounds. I started at 266, currently at 240. Looking to lose another maybe... 120 or so? Not too sure, we'll see when I get closer! I would love some friends around my age, or people who have similar weight loss goals. Both would be…

20 year old female looking to drop 100+ pounds
Or maybe only 90, or maybe 130. I have no clue. Anyway, like I stated I'm a 20 year old female, 5'6", roughly about 260 pounds. I have no "goal weight" as I have no idea what weight would look good on me. So as of now I'm just saying about 100 pounds and will determine the goal when I get there (or at least a lot closer)!…

Youtube Exercise Videos
Anybody have any good youtube workouts that aren't hard on the knees? I'm going to be getting surgery sometime down the line, but for now depending on the day sometimes even walking around for awhile hurts. I constantly have to wear a knee brace, but assuming I'm having a decent day I'd like to be able to do some type of…

Clothing
* not sure where I should post, sorry if it's in the wrong area. I'm going on month 3 of weight loss soon and I have clothes to last me for awhile. Once I no longer fit those clothes however, I plan on endless thrift stores until I make my goal. It's easily a 100+ pound loss on my end when I make it, and also probably a…

Looking for active friends!
I'm looking for some more active friends! I have less then 20 currently. D= I'm 20 years old, roughly about 249 pounds and 5'6". I've lost almost 20 pounds so far (I haven't updated my ticker yet, official day is Monday) and I'd like some people who also have 100+ pounds to lose. If you don't that's okay too so long as you…

Scales
I weighed myself Monday morning - 259.8 weighed myself tonight out of curiosity - 257.6 weighed myself again like an hour later because I didn't believe it - 255 (point something, I dunno) weighted myself AGAIN just now (about 2-3 hours later) because that was even more unbelievable - 258. Tried one last time a mere few…

Resting days
How many times a week do you rest from the gym? Currently I'm resting twice a week, but I'm still within a month of my weight-loss journey.

What do you do?
When I'm upset/stressed/having a bad day I used to indulge in a binge fit. Well, last night I had a really bad night and all I want to do now is shove everything I see into my mouth. I'm refraining but I need help! I'm stuck at home, and I HATE working out at home so that is out of the question (it's also really crappy out…

No Pain, No Gain
So I started going to the gym. I've been going just about everyday (I only missed one day this week because it was snowing pretty bad) and every time I go it's for at least an hour. I sweat, I burn calories, but I feel no pain. I'm never sore after my workouts. Not right after, not the next day, not at all. Does that mean…

Looking for a couple more ACTIVE friends!
Preferable someone around my age (20) but it doesn't matter tooooo much ; ) and someone with a similar weight loss goal. I haven't put my foot down on one weight but it's deff between 110 - 130. Thanks!

Serious knee problems + Running
I have serious knee problems that have been plaguing my life for the past 10 years. Fractures, and tears, dislocation after dislocation - it just keeps happening. (I'm actually trying to get an MRI/Surgery if it comes back I need it, as we speak) Despite this I really wish I could run, just for the sake of running. I know…

Take me back

(5'6" tall, almost 20 year old female) I wanna lose at least 100 pounds, maybe more. HOWEVER, I have one, very big, problem. I've got major knee issues. I've dislocated…

How long?
I'm 19, 5'6", currently around 222-ish pounds. My problem is I get really discouraged very easily, I give up and then bam, I end up back where I currently am. This time around is my longest try - sorta. I lost 12 pounds, but then I had an off week - yes I said WEEK - and gained 4 back (4 pounds in a week... I really didn't…

19 with 100 pounds to lose! Looking for some help.
I need some major motivation help. All my friends in real life aren't supportive because they are already skinny and the one over weight friend I have wouldn't work because he basically has chronic depression and binge eats all day (He's well over 300 pounds. He might even be in the 400's). ANYWAYYYY due to that, I need…
