Failed my workout plan in 3 months
I was very good for those 3 months, I did of course eat bad things and get mad at myself. But I worked out up to 3 times a day for short amounts of time. But I stopped, I don't know why, I felt like I was fatter and grosser and just...lazy... once a day work out became once a week, then nothing. And then I started to eat…

Young woman trying to lose 57 pounds. Any buddies?
I just signed up and am hoping to find some buddies. I'm 18 and vowed by my next birthday I'd be at my ideal weight. It'd be soooo much easier with a few encouraging buddies! Also I am committing to a life without meat.

Eating out: Evil Temptations
Okay so I eat out maybe 2-3 times a week min. I go every wednesday to dinner with a pal, and every time he sort of takes control. I feel like I can or should be able to make a good decision but then I get there and have no idea how to calculate the calories! I prefer non food chains so that makes it so much worse. How can…

No longer over 200 pounds
i stepped on my scale this morning and the number was pleasing. One, it didn't begin with a 2! I'm so excited and just wanted to share this with anyone who needs a little nudge. I credit this entirely to the site (oh and to me), but mostly here because everyone was so motivating and I truly kicked my butt everyday. Also…

Stationary Bikes?
I just bought a bike because I felt like switching it up is good. However, I don't do weight lifting much anymore so Im afraid that just doing bike isn't as beneficial. If I do an hour of biking, how much walking should I incorporate? I don't feel my upper body is going to be worked with just using the bike.

Bribing yourself
I have been losing a little patience lately so I decided that since I'm such a non materialistic person, (really) that everytime I lost 10 pounds I'll buy myself something, little or big. Anyway, I think it's funny that the only thing keeping me going is that! Well and looking good in clothes and feeling good. :)

Ideal weights?
I currently have my goal set for 140. The skinniest I was has been 130 when I was 5'2 which wasnt portioned well at all. I have a broad frame and I have short short legs. I worry that because of these factors what they say is my ideal isn't. I read someone who is 5'4 should be 113 pounds! (I'm 5'4 in a half technically…

Never been skinny
I recently bought the womens health mag, which I love. in it was a woman my height, my starting size who became a runner after reaching my EXACT ideal weight. I like to think of what it would be like to run and NOT get tired after 5 minutes. But mostly I think of all the things I feel like Im missing because I havent been…

Blisters on my toes?
I went through a lot getting a good shoe and inserts, but now... I run/walk for ...2 hours a day. On a good day 3. And my shoes feel great but lately I notice my outer toes have blisters on the end. Is that a sock issue? I wear thick socks because my shoes are a little too big in the heal. However apparently theyre my size…

Too hungry.. Im an animal!
So coming 20 pounds soon. I never felt so BAD though, maybe its being sick, maybe its something but lately Im starved. I get up 6 or 7 ususally and eat, first thing, then walk. But lately... by 9 I'm hungry, 10 I'm dying, 11 I'm praying for death. And sometimes have a snack but even then... I cave in sometimes and have my…

Tired of just walking/jogging and workout videos
It gets a little boring sometimes, I sort of want to change it up. What are some other things that burn calories at about the same rate? I've heard sports...but I honestly am a solitary creature (I know, awful). I'm debating walking up my stairs like 100 times, or till I cry. Anything but just the same old. (biking is…

Good in theory, bad in execution
I don't eat meat so lately I find a lot of different recipes and try. I made...horrible things lately, bad bad stuff. And I had others try too, just some recipes suck. I eat fish though, most fish. So that's a good thing. I am wondering if anyone has any luck on sites? Finding simple recipes that don't include any 'meats'.…

how do you say no to bad food?
For me having any junk ruins my day. Constantly someone brings a cookie or a cupcake or a shake around me, chocolate!!! and I say no I cant. But then I do! And I hate it. I dont even want the food its just hard to not eat it. I feel sick after. Gross. :/ I need to lose 10 pounds this month, which I know I can. It's more…

Biggest Loser with Bob tape...Boot Camp
WOW. Okay so let me say I hate video fitness, but I did this a few months ago. I was like, ok easy. Within the first few minutes I felt dead. I can do the other programs alright but seriously, it's nuts! If you want to kick your butt try it. My goal is to be able to do it this year without collapsing.

Love the walking, hate the neighborhood
Am I the only person who puts on her workout clothes, gets out there and feels mortified? I live in a small town but a big neighborhood and at least 20 cars every 5 minutes pass me. Also kids running around, mean children, lol. I feel like they stare at me and it freaks me out. I love the walking but I wish I was alone and…

Ankle and foot pain?
I recently started walking/jogging and enjoy it a lot. 6 miles/4 miles/2 miles a day (2 if I feel bad.) My shoes however aren't helping, I need motion control which I already established, I have low arches. Anyway, i'm wondering aside from new shoes what stretches will help me warm up before I go? Or even after. My feet…
-
Detox's and Fasts?
I know I know, healthy way is to eat right. But I only drink water and maybe a coffee or a hot tea once a day with limited sugar or honey. I've been very good about this. No soda in 20 days or iced tea! It's a weird thing but I like it. I've heard of so many horrible detox's and fasts. But I want to know if they actually…

Just found out my scale might be 20 pounds under
In other words you weight 100 it tells you 80. So this is great... I feel like giving up a little when I hear I might need to lose 20 more pounds?! Argh, trying to think of ways not to feel horrible about this and test and see if this is true.

Obsticles we face when working out
For me, I have feet issues. My left foot curves in and it pains me horribly, also the fact that I have flat feet! Other than the general discomfort that comes from having to find something you can move easily in, my feet are my worst issue. Anyway, just wondering what everyone else finds to be their biggest reason for…

Other simple things to do at home?
I have a lot of things I have to take care of at home so it doesn't give me a huge amount of time to do things but after I walk on my treadmill and stretch, sit ups etc. Wondering what other people do through out the day as far as exercise goes? (Sometimes I lift weights because I have some in my garage, heh)

Fellow vegetarians?
I'm new to this lifestyle, but for a long time it's been a goal of mine. I find myself wanting meat all the time but it's merely my tastebuds and not so much my morals. Or at all. I'm determined to stick to this but I feel like I'm not eating enough, I got light headed today, intense. I take my vitamins and protein powder…

Cutting out coffee, deadly, or good?
I have a very little energy naturally. I'm one of millions of the coffee addicted, but if it would help me lose weight I'd give it up quite fast! Does anyone know about this? And if you do give it up anyway, is there some other source of energy? I only drink water (8 times) and half juice once a day, so my other drinks are…

When did you start noticing a change?
I'm curious to how different sizes/types of people lost weight. Everyone is different! But it's motivating to hear someone is having success.

My silly motivation. Warning: disturbing image, lol
I saw this in a thrift shop, it's simple, but right now it's TOO small, way actually, the fabric is stretchy so I can fit into it, funny fact, I ripped it doing this. LOL. That's sort of ironic. For some reason this dress motivates me to keep going. I'd never wear it out because it shows my arm flab, even if it was my…

Blogging about your loss?
No idea how to classify this... But do you think blogging could help motivate you? I consider doing a once a day blog about my eating and how I feel ,mostly for me, but then I think well what if someone I know saw this! It's strange how ashamed you can feel of letting yourself gain the weight. :/ However, writing really…
