There comes a point....
There comes a point in your life where you feel like not being healthy and not liking how you want to look takes a toll on things. I feel like I am at that point. It isn't just about not looking good but about the way I feel and right now I feel like I have no energy or motive to lose weight. I have gone through a lot of…

What do you do to work out???
I have not worked out HARD in about 6 months. I have gone running a few times, lifted weights, went on the elliptical, ect. But I haven't really felt "accomplished" in about 6 months. It shows in my body, I feel like nothing is in shape anymore. My legs, arms, chest, stomach, legs, even my lower legs. I just feel so OUT OF…

Vitamin Question
I used to be really into taking vitamins when I was younger but I feel that I don't know what to take anymore. I would go to GNC to ask them, but they just direct you to the most expensive vitamins they have and probably a lot of unesscarily ones. What do you take as a woman? I know One a Day womans is supposed to be very…

Zucchini Bread?
I was just wondering if anybody on here makes Zucchini bread? My friend's mom had made some and it was sooo yummy and it turned out very moist and dark brownish and the top layer was very moist. I made it and it tasted similar but it was more "bread" texture than gooey. Does anybody know why this is? Or how do you make…

Chicken and Turkey ideas
Does anybody have some awesome (cheap to make) chicken or turkey ideas. I have so much chicken and ground turkey in the house but I NEVER can come up with something interesting to make.

The dreaded love handles..
How the hell do you get rid of these??! I know that you can't "spot" treat them but even when I weighed 127 pounds, I still had love handles, and that is slim for my height. Is it because I cheat sometimes because I don't always eat healthy foods or is there certain amount of cardio I should be doing daily? Its not only…

In need of motivation
I had been doing so good for a while now, and lost 5 pounds this spring. But now I am slacking, especially this week when I look back at all my food diary entries.

Question about crunches and cardio
I usually do about 30 minutes to an hour of cardio on my Gazelle, and I work really hard and sweat, but I feel like it isn't enough. When I used to use my friends elliptical I always seemed like I was a lot more tired after my workout. Does anyone else do this much cardio and feel like you should do more? Or is this…

Venting
So I told my boyfriend yesterday that none of my pants fit, (because they don't) partially because I shrunk them, but also because I have gained weight. I weigh 142 and a few months ago I weighed 132. Its crazy how much 10 lbs can add to a small body frame. It really pissed me off though because he said that maybe my legs…
