My before and after
Hello, My name is Valerie, I'm 28 years old and I live in Ohio. When I was 23 I got married to someone I had high hopes of changing. Needless to say years of frustration and guilt led to a pretty hefty weight gain. I have a small build and I'm only 5'3 so at my heaviest weight of 167 it was a lot to try and hide. I never…

It was actually the elusive thigh gap!!!!! I can see through my frickin legs! That hasn't happened since birth :) happy happy girl

uh....what??
Just curious what would work better at tracking calories when not using a machine: a HRM or a fitbit? It seems they do different things and at this moment I'm just curious of calorie burn. Also! Should I worry about going over in sugar if it comes from natural sources like fruit? Im always over!

trashy or trendy ?
Someone close to me who shall remain anonymous, brought up an idea that at first I wasn't crazy about. She said she wished in her younger years that she had taken sexy pictures for her husband. I called up a photographer friend who confirmed that this is a growing field * no pun intended. I've worked hard to get where I am…

How do you handle vacations?
Next week I'm leaving on vacation with my boyfriend to a cabin in the smokey mountains. Does anyone have any good tips for staying on track when you're on vacation?

I realize this was a terrible thing to do to my body, and I wasn't losing weight. I began about 5 days ago trying to reach a goal of at least 1000 calories a day, and eating back my exercise…

Those last ten pounds...
Ive had some ups and downs over the past couple of years. It seemed like all the compliments were motivation enough when I first started my weight loss journey. I got down to an almost scary adult weight of 107, and people began to ask me if I was sick. I decided I needed to put on a few lbs. Around the same time I went…

Do you eat what you burn?
I'm just wondering if you're supposed to eat the calories that you burn? My MFP says I should be eating 1200 calories a day, but some days I go to the gym and burn 600, does that then mean that I should be eating another 600 calories to make up for it?
