Having a hard time, trying to do better anyways.
Hello! I turned 30 last month (January 12) and I'm kind of in the middle of a crisis. My husband of 7 years was the bread winner, and he lost his job the month after we bought a house in October 2017. We lived on our savings for a year, I thought he needed time to recover from the stress of the previous job and the…

Accountability Partner Proposition
Hi, my name is Becky. I'm 27 years old, 300-something pounds. I am starting over. Last year my 2015 resolution was to lose 100 pounds. I started eating a ketogenic diet (because I have PCOS) and I began to walk. I got stronger, I moved onto interval run/walking and lifting weights. I lost 45 lbs, I hit a plateau and I got…

I just want to chat. Tell me what your simple goals are!
Hi. I'm just in the mood to chat. I think having a conversation with other people will give me a little recharge and inspiration. So, tell me what you're currently thinking or doing diet and exercise-wise, and tell me some little goals you might have for yourself? Personally I'm doing damage control. I'm having a hard time…

My progress so far; 42 lbs (with a pic)
So, I began my weight loss journey on the first of this year. About a year or two before that I had discovered keto and had lost 30 lbs, but I messed up and couldn't get back into the swing of things. But around the first of the year I decided that this is going to be the perfect time for my new beginning, and I set a goal…

Tired All The TIme
These last 2 or 3 weeks I've been so tired! I eat a keto diet because I have PCOS and it helps with that. Usually I have tons of energy, I'm running around doing stuff I haven't done in years. Lifting weights, walking for 30 minutes, etc. But recently I have not been able to stay awake. I take my husband to work because he…

I am beginning a walking routine. Anyone want to make a group of it? For EXTREME sedentary folks.
I want to exercise. I NEED to exercise. There are a lot of contradicting views about whether exercise actually helps with weight loss. Well, I say it doesn't matter. I have been sedentary for 2 or 3 years, ever since I had my gallbladder removed right after I lost my job for related absences. I have tried to work, and I…

Need a little pep talk
Hi. I am... ugh. I'm doing fine diet wise. The issue is not that I'm cheating and I'm going to gain weight and I need someone to hold my hand and make me stop eating. The issue is that my cats are out of cat food. And I fed them tuna and chicken, so they should be okay. But you know how cats are, if the bowl is empty…

My husband and room mate are drinking...
I'm trying very hard not to join them, but they are both slightly drunk and pressuring me to join. Mostly I'm looking for something to do to distract me from them. So... anyone up for entertaining me?

A Bad Thing Happened To My Friend
Today I made a mistake. I went to a chinese buffet. I thought it would be okay because I had gone to a regular buffet before and did excellent. But there just was no easy choice at this place. Won't be doing that again. But that is not my point. I have a friend. He is 6' something and weight nearly 400 lbs. I think he's a…

Do you have unusual goals?

Be able to reach my toes to paint them and trim my toenails. Be able to hug my knees. Be able to be picked up by my husband. Be able to cross…

How do you take your coffee?
I'm watching my carbs but man the Tim Horton's on my corner is singing to me! I usually order a large cafe mocha, it's been my favorite since the 8th grade. I love the whipped cream best, it's wonderful.... ahem... Anyways. I've been craving coffee and although I make an excellent pot at home I'm wondering what to order if…

It's painful to walk
Hi! I'm 24 years old, I'm 330 lbs (roughly. I'm actually 328.something or other) and I have a lot of pain when I walk/clean my house/do anything. It's mostly like a pinch in my left hip area, it affects my back and everything. I try to work through it but it gets so bad I have to stop. It's embarrassing. I've led a VERY…
