110 pounds down and 25 to go!!! Female, lots of pictures!
I started my weight loss journey in August 2014. I was nearly 300 pounds, a mother of three, and very depressed. I was addicted to food. I was becoming a hermit. My life revolved around what I should eat, shouldn't eat, wanted to eat, and couldn't eat. I had tried to lose weight many times with small losses and large…

80 pounds down and counting
In August of last year I was walking through Sam's Club with my husband. I was out of breath, my feet hurt, my joints ached, and I realized I was waddling because I was so big...that was my "aha" moment. That was the moment I decided I needed a change. I spoke with my doctor and started a reduced portion, low carb, no…

Sugar Question
I have a question about "sugars". I have read somewhere before that you should try to stay around 35g of sugars a day. I am usually around 60g but I do not eat any sweets, it all comes from fruits and my greek yogurt. My food diary is open if any of you want to look at it. Is it okay if this is high because it is "natural"…

Favorite "health" food
I live in a small town and it is not very easy to get a good selection of "healthy" foods, the stores just don't carry it. So, I am making a trip to Whole Foods this weekend (about an hour and a half drive) and was wondering what your favorite "health" food is. Any suggestions on products you just can't live without?…

After Gym Goodies!
I have decided to start working out in the morning...the afternoon is just not "working out" for me. With after work board meetings, husband working late, three kids....ANYWAY, the catch is I will not have a ton of time to freshen up afterwards because my schedule will go a little something like this: 4:30 a.m. - Wake up…
