It's my birthday... and I'll eat what I want to?
Why is it I just can't kick that habit? That "oh it's this holiday" or "hey it's my birthday" so I eat what the hell I want?? It's kind of annoying but at the same time it keeps me feeling normal. I don't feel deprived because of these binge days and yet I get frustrated by the set back. Somehow I feel the benefit…

Gun show pix
Ok, how the hell do you make them show your muscles. In person, I can see some muscle and tone. A FIRST for me, so I'm pumped! I go to take a pic, nope, see nothing, just an arm.

Well, with my recent purchase of size 8s, I kept my promise! I am slightly terrified lol my body isn't done with toning by no means and I have a two…

NSV!!!
I've had some good ones I haven't made a thread for but this one was a personal fav! I've NEVER EVER attempted to wear a figure hugging dress bc I just didn't have the body. I have never been toned enough and obviously I had gotten big enough to join here so I wasn't wearing them then either lol. Well, today, I saw a sexy…

Marathon training issues - PLEASE HELP
Kind of bummed......need runners support lol. My knees and ankles have been kind of achy since starting my training. Not sure why. I have been running these distances and even typically run 5 days a week, so going to 4 is nothing. But yet, my knees and ankles are starting to act up. Why? What am I doing differently. I keep…

Unsupportive family members for clean eating
I've recently made the switch to clean eating. Not perfectly, but I aim for 80/20 or 90/10. My fiance' wants nothing to do with it HOWEVER supports my decision in feeding our son and myself this way. That is plenty <3 The rest of my family though, not so much. I come from an obese family (multiple weight loss surgeries!)…

What does "full figured" REALLY mean
This is kind of a dumb question but I'm curious...... I've always thought of "full figured" women as the women in the Lane Bryant commercials. Beautiful, curvy but not super skinny! I can in no way fit in Lane Bryant clothes anymore (bittersweet really) but still have friends say I'm still "full figured". I was just…

Learning what works for ME
Just a rant really but..... I am going to try to up my sodium allowance. By keeping it at 1000 mg or under, I did really well and lost a great amount of weight for one week. BUT with ONE bad day, that honestly wasn't THAT bad, I've basically gained it all back. It's as if my body was so cleared of salt that when I consumed…
