I can't get my shi*t together
For as long as I can remember, I've needed to and wanted to lose weight. I jump on the bandwagon just to jump right back off. Now, I'm the highest weight I've ever been and severely unhappy with myself...not necessarily because of the weight but because of my lack of effort to fix it. Five weeks ago, I started working with…

Inspiring Story
This success may not necessarily be my own to share, but as a writer for a newspaper, I was inspired by this couple that lost 320 pounds together in a little over year. The couple, 22 and 26 years old, really changed their lives and meeting with them and writing about them really helped motivate me, and I hope that this…

Winter Blues
Anyone else get the winter/holiday blues and just want to eat? It's hard enough to get to the gym when it's so cold out (at least when you get to Pennsylvania) and then the time of year in general just makes you want to binge on your favorite comfort things -- for me, food. How do you control your eating during the…

Pollen Diet?
I got on Facebook this evening to see that someone liked a page called The Pollen Diet. After clicking on the page, I found pictures of girls I went to high school with, quite a few of them, none that were ever in the same social circles, etc., posing, saying they've lost "blah blah blah on this pill." Is it just because I…

I've been using this site for quite a while, but it seems as if every one I know in "real" life has stopped using the site. Anyone in their 20s want to become friends for some extra motivation? I'm Elle, by the way :)

Setting goals, eating right, etc.
I stumbled across this blog post today while sitting on Pinterest (my latest addiction...I'm sure I'm not the only one) and wanted to share it with everyone.

Not Happy With Myself.
It's been a month since I went to the gym. A MONTH. I haven't been tracking my food on here, either. I look in the mirror, and i can just see how much it's affecting me. I need to get back in the swing of things but I have absolutely no drive to do so. I just want to crawl in bed and eat crackers all day.

Sugars?
I go over my daily recommendation for sugars almost every day. Is this affecting my weight-loss alot or no?

I must be doing something wrong.
I've been going to the gym regularly and for the most part eating healthy...yet I've GAINED weight since I joined the site. I don't really know what else I can change. It's really discouraging to get on the scale after a good workout and see that all your hard work isn't paying off.

Walking to class?
This might be a silly question, but I just wanted to know if I should count the time I spend walking to class and other places on campus as part of my daily exercise? My campus is very big, so I do walk a considerable amount of time during the day. So should I put it on here towards my daily exercise goal, or no?
