Somehow lost my motivation
I worked so hard to lose almost 40 lbs only to have gained 10 back :( I'm trying to catch it early and I'm wondering how I went from such an active lifestyle to a non-active one all over again. For some reason it's really hard for me to break out of this and get moving again. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Starting Again
I haven't gained back all my weight but I was religiously weighing in between 131 - 133 lbs, and now I've been weighing in between 135-138 lbs. I haven't been tracking or logging foods and have been cheating a fair amount, more than I should have. I haven't been exercising daily (no running since I have asthma and it's…

My boyfriend and I lost a total of 70 pounds together! Pics
As I was starting my new lifestyle my boyfriend had kind of started to follow my lead. Before I moved in he was living the "single guy" lifestyle and ate a ton of fast food almost every day, and consumed lots of soda. When I moved in I decided to go on my weight loss journey and started cooking healthy meals every night,…

My journey through 6 pictures, 30 lbs lost!
I thought it would have been a good idea to take pictures every couple of weeks to document the changes my body was going through during my weight loss journey. (I could kick myself for not taking measurements!!!) For those who have asked, I didn't do any special diet, none of that shakeology stuff, no protein shakes, and…

My journey through 5 photos and nearly 30 lbs gone
Starting weight was 165 and current weight is 138.

Asthma symptoms from not running in a few days?
Hi all, I'm asthmatic but I do like to do jogging/walking intervals for my cardio. I normally don't have an issue unless I missed a couple days and start to have symptoms. Nothing that would deter me from running but I can't go for nearly as long. I'm fine the very next day or so. Is this just my body telling me my lungs…

Negative feedback on my food diary
I think I'm going to make my food diary private. Yesterday was my rest day and cheat day, as we went to Applebees for dinner, and I had a small blizzard from DQ. Someone on my friends list commented that I "shouldn't have eaten all those calories at lunch" which was only 250 and had dinner instead. I refuse to feel guilty…

Think of it as cardio purgatory . I just did it…
