Flabby Arms
I've lost a total of 103 pounds since last May and I feel like I've lost the weight evenly in all parts of my body except my arms. They pretty much look exactly like they did when I weighed 299 pounds. I knew excess skin would be an issue, but I feel like a lot of it is still fat. I do tons of cardio, but I also lift a…

Glasses sliding off
When I run, kickbox, and Zumba, my glasses are always sliding down my nose. Does anyone know of any products out there that would hold them in place? Contacts are not an option and neither is wearing nothing, at all. I'm blind as a bat!

4 Week Muscle Cramp
Hey guys- I've had the same cramping feeling in my right shoulder for almost 4 weeks now and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out why it won't go away. It feels sort of like a charlie-horse, not like muscle soreness, at all. I do some light lifting with 5-10 lb hand weights 3 times a week, but most of what I…

The thinner I get, the fatter I feel
Anyone else experience this? I started at 299 lbs and now that I'm at 259 lbs, I feel fatter than ever. Even though I was really fat at my largest, I was pretty confident and maybe a little ignorant to my actual size. I never felt like I actually looked like I was nearly 300 lbs. Being 5'10, I've always thought I cared the…

50 Days and 32 Pounds Down (Fem,29,5'10)
Hello! Just stopping by to encourage you all to keep going! If I can do it, anyone can. I've always been one to make excuses- "I don't have time to exercise," "I'm too picky of an eater to eat healthy," "I'm just DESTINED to be fat." But over the past 50 days, I've ditched ALL my excuses and worked my tail off! As of this…

Anyone else not taking a true "rest day?"
I never take a true rest day. The absolutely least I do on any given day is a 3 mile walk. Is this potentially harmful? Anyone else not taking a real rest day? Is there any reason I should be taking one??

Anyone else adopted?
I was adopted when I was 3 months old and I know nothing about my birth parents. I see a lot of people are motived by heart disease or diabetes running in their family. It's scary to not know what runs in my family. It's also kind of freeing in a weird way. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and how they…

Husband isn't motivated
My husband and I started our weight loss journey together, but he quickly fell off the wagon and doesn't seem to want to get back on. We joined the Y together and I go every afternoon, but for 2 weeks he has "passed" every time I've asked him to go with me. I make both of our lunches every morning, but he's "accidentally"…

25 Days and already in a rut
My husband and I recently decided to change our lifestyle and lose weight before we try and conceive. Things have been going great; I've lost a total of 19 pounds in 25 days, but now I've stalled out. For the past 5 days, I haven't lost even an ounce. I'm working just as hard, if not harder, than before. I know it's way…

Just starting out, question about walking
I've just started to workout again for the first time since my wedding in 2011 and I'm having some issues. I've gained quite a bit of weight and I'm finally ready to do something about it. I weigh around 260lb and am pretty out of shape. I started walking last week, but I'm not making much progress because my calves are…
