After school binge attack!
I lost 40 pounds last year, and I know how to eat well, but I have fallen into some seriously nasty habits since September. I've had a lot of health issues crop up that have prevented me from exercising and whenever I can't exercise I inevitably eat horribly as well and I have gotten locked into this. I've gained 8 pounds…

Been bloated for a week
So, Thanksgiving hit as usual. And not gonna lie, I had a second (slightly smaller) Thanksgiving with some of my friends Saturday night. I've been really bloated all week, and I'm wondering if it could still be from just eating so much food when I'm really not used to eating a lot. I haven't added any new foods into my…

BAD nausea from morning workout!
I have to wake up to get ready for my day at 5:30, so today I tried to wake up an hour early to get a workout in because exercising later in the day doesn't work much for my schedule, because it lands smack dab in the middle of all the stuff I have to do (school from 7-3, homework, physical therapy and chiropractic…

PIlates for toning
I've lost 30 pounds in six months, mostly through diet and SOME cardio. Needless to say, I've become the dreaded skinny fat (well maybe not SKINNY, but you know what I mean.) I look pretty okay if clothing is covering up everything, but I am still REALLY flabby. I can pinch fat (and not just a little) everywhere on my…

What now?
I've lost 31 pounds in the last 6 months, and am two pounds short of what was my goal weight of 130. 130 was really just a random number for me, so I'm not stressing too much over reaching those two pounds. I've gotten a lot smaller, but I still have a pretty high body fat content. I'm very jiggly... So at this point I…

Should I even try? *sigh*
Basically, I've resigned this week to be one of failure. Today was an end of school-year party, and I might have eaten ruffles and fritos until I couldn't feel feelings. My birthday is on Thursday, and we're having muffins in the morning (birthday tradition) and going out to dinner. Then I have a birthday party that spans…

Hunger after weight loss
Hi everyone, I've lost 27 pounds and for some reason it seems like the more weight I lose, the hungrier I get! I've been absolutely starving the past few weeks, even though I increased my protein and calories. I started off my diet being hardly ever hungry but my appetite started getting a bit bigger around 15 pounds and…

Body image after weight loss
Hi everyone :D I've lost a good deal of weight (24 pounds) in 4 months and I'm worried because I'm still have a load of issues with my body image. 24 pounds was pretty big for me because I wasn't huge to begin with (I've gone from 163-139 at 5'3.5".) A lot of people around me are noticing the changes in my body, and I feel…

Too much sugar?
I'm a newbie vegan (almost 3 months) and probably the biggest issue with nutrients is sugar. Too much of it. I'm comforted by the fact that most of my sugar comes from whole foods, but still. It's sad knowing that half of my day's sugar allowance is contained in single apple. Is this an issue for everyone else? I feel like…
