How do you deal with negativity from family?
As the title says, it can be hard when your own family are negative towards your endeavours to lose weight, anyone else have experience with this?

Considering I am a pretty big guy. The only activity I really get in…

Question about sugar/salt
This might seem like a stupid question, but here goes. I'm just wondering how cutting out sugar and salt helps? Not saying I don't want to, because I'm fine with that, but I'm just curious. Isn't there natural sugars and salts in foods (even good foods, like fruit etc)? Also, I'm Irish and we drink A LOT of tea on a daily…

I'm 250lbs give or take, as of now/ I've been overweight for most of my life now, since I was about 11 or so. I've always struggled with my weight, went through the bullying, low self esteem,…
