I never realized how bad it was...
I have a huge party tomorrow and I just figured I'd throw on one of my old dresses that I've worn last year...turns out, I've gained so much weight I can't even fit into my biggest one. I'm literally about to break down. This weight is ruining my life....how could I have let this gotten so bad in just ONE year?

Just a little one!
I know everyone one here has amazing success stories and mine won't compare, but I'm very proud of my little accomplishment. I exercised today! Exercising is something that I typically have a VERY hard time motivating myself to do, but today, I won and got on the elliptical for 13 minutes! Yay for the small things!

What's so horrible about carbs?
Hey guys, After actually looking at my nutrition facts, I seem to go over on carbs (A LOT) daily. I was wondering why exactly carbs are bad for us. That's probably a stupid question, but I'm curious. People always say "Low carbs" but never give a reason as to why they eat that way

WAYYY over on sugar daily

My waist and carbs

90x for a beginner...
Hey guys, Let me preface this with a simple fact: I AM THE FACE OF SKINNY FAT. I'm not overweight, but I have no tone to me whatsoever. My friend has a copy of P90x that he's willing to give to me, I was wondering something similar: Am I going to completely die because the workouts are too difficult? How do you find a way…

Fear of the scale
Hey guys so I need advice. Basically I'm afraid of the scale. This doesn't make sense without a little background info: I'm 15 now, 2 1/2 years into recovering from Bulimia (I've had an unhealthy mindset for as long as I can remember, not even joking). So I've always had an obsession with the number game. Alright, fast…

Do empty calories do any harm?
Hey guys, it's 6:35 pm here and I wasn't feeling good for most of the day so I have 992 calories to squish into one meal if I want to hit my calorie goal. My (very stupid) question is, can I just eat it all in mac and cheese or will that do damage and why? If it's going to harm, what's something else I can have that'll…

Not sure caloric amount

Hey guys, I've always HATED working out, but I realize that even when I am thin, I still jiggle and that's what kills me the most. What is the minimum I actually need to do in order to not be "Skinny fat"? Will cardio alone just save me or do I need to do other exercises? Thanks.

Eating before sleep?
