To Meet or Not?
I'll try to keep this short!! I started talking to this guy online over a year ago now. It was originally thought I would be moving back to my hometown (where he lives) so I looked online at that time for people to talk to from there, with the idea I'd know someone once I moved. I didn't move when planned, but we kept…

This is why I hate being fat
(among other reasons) lol I bought a nice pair of boots, knee high...they arrived today and of course, they don't fit on my calves. Grrr! Well, at least next winter I'll have a nice pair to wear! What little things do you hate?

Something that is confusing me
I know I have kind of posted about this before, but I have about 52lbs to lose before I hit my first goal weight. I know that is a lot. Am I wasting my time lifting weights at this time? Should I be focusing more on cardio for fat loss? I have lost 17lbs in 2 months so far with a combination of exercise, diet and IF, but…

Strength training before and afters
I am wondering if people who do heavy lifting can post their before/after photos? I know that it is quite common that the scale stays the same, but your body fat goes down as you gain muscle. I am trying to go this way, so need a bit of motivation. Thanks!

connection when meeting people
How important to you is having a connection to someone when dating and entering into a relationship? I am the type of person who is very quiet and I don't let myself be my true self around someone until I know I can trust them and after hanging out with them for awhile. I think this puts guys off, because they get the…

Do I meet him?
I don't know how you all feel about meeting someone you started talking to online, but I've been talking to this guy for probably close to a month now, just texting and MSN and such. I've told him that I am fat, and that I am working on losing the weight and getting healthier, but I haven't gone into just HOW fat I am. He…

got home gym
I just picked up a home gym today (not the best quality, but good enough) and I am wondering how I should start using it. What I mean is, how many sets and reps should I do? and how many days per week? Should I start with a weight that is more difficult for me and do fewer sets/reps? Or go for a ligher weight? It is a…

Ladies, I am thinking of changing my hair cut but have NO idea what I'd like. I thought maybe if you could post a pic of your current hairstyle, I might find something that I like!

Question regarding calorie intake and exercise
I have a quick question regarding caloric intake and the amount of exercise that someone does. I am currently a whopping 250lbs. I am trying to be very active every day. My job keeps me on my feet all day, I come home and typically will take the dogs out for 30 mins and then will have to do some chores around the yard,…

stupid question but..
I was talking to a friend about my desired goal for weight loss (at this point im aiming for 60lbs gone) and she was telling me of her cousin who weight a bit more than me who cleaned up her diet, started exercising and she lost 70lbs in 3 months. I told her it probably wasnt just 3 months but she swears it is. I asked if…

Designing a workout routine
How do you all go about building a workout routine? Do you find a DVD and follow that a few times a week? Just do cardio? Yoga? I have the desire to do something EVERY day, but I'm not sure if I should be following a program, a DVD series, following youtube videos? I need some help. The equipment I have right now: I set up…

Kettlebells
How many of you work out with kettlebells? I had been following a DVD workout (that included non-kettlebell moves as well) but now will be working out in an area where I cant be near the TV. Does anyone know of a printable chart out there that lists the different moves you can do with the KB or else maybe a printable…

Warrior Diet
I have read a few of the threads on this after I did a search, but I am wondering if anyone has been eating this way for quite awhile? I am not looking to start a thread full of arguments, just looking for someone who can shred some light on how they eat and how they feel, and how their body has adjusted to this diet.…

Scales
Does anyone else find scales so frustrating? I am going to TRY to not weight myself until mid November, but I know this will be hard. Do many of you just go by how you are feeling? Do you have a pair of pants that are too small and use that as a gauge of your progess? I would like to be able to eliminate the scale mostly,…

Question regarding home workouts
I am hopefully going to join the gym soon, but want to make sure my finances are ok so I can pay the $50 per month. Anyways, I have set up some 'station' sort of equipment I found at home and am going to make up a kind of 1 minute work- 30 second off type of thing using what I found. I have: a box I can jump over keeping…

New Here!
Hi Everyone! I'll try to keep this short! I have struggled with food and weight all my life. I am 29 years old and female. About 6 years ago, I made the decision to change and I lost 80lbs. Unfortunately, since stopping my labour job and not working out, (oh, and also eating like a pig!) I have packed back on the weight…

accepting someone likes you
I have been seeing this guy since about August. Short back story is I was made fun of regarding my weight by my Mother all my life growing up. I find it extremely hard to understand that someone likes me and is into me for reasons other than just having sex and this is very frustrating to both me and the bf. I believe that…
