30 Day Shred for Obese People
I want to try Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, but I want to know is there anyone on here that was/is severely obese and used it? It may seem silly, but as an obese person I'm worried it will be too much for me. I am 310 lbs. Since January I have tried to work out about 3 times a week for 20 mins, usually on the elliptical.…

The Fasting Diet
I read an article on The Atlantic that talks about fasting every other day then on the other days allowing yourself to eat what ever you want. They brought arguments from both sides, some saying this worked, while others saying it doesn't. I wanted to know people's thoughts on this. Have any of you tried this, and made it…

I get to wear my "skinny" jeans today!!!
So I usually wear size 24 pants, but now my jeans can barely stay on me. I have to pull them up constantly! A couple of months ago I bought a pair of size 24 junior jeans. These were not cut for women and were very snug on me, but I looked at them as a goal. I bought them and have been waiting for the day they would fit…

They're Noticing...
I work at a larger office, about 85 people, and even though it's easy to get to know everyone, you often fall into a click and converse mainly with them. Well today while I was washing my hands in the bathroom a coworker, who I usually pass her cubicle throughout the day, wanted to ask me a question. She says to me “Can I…

Recommendations for a HRM
I saw a discussion yesterday about how accurate MFP is with calorie estimations for exercise, and everyone seemed to be recommending using a HRM instead to track calories burned. So my questions is, what is a good brand/type of HRM I should be using? Please let me know which ones are the most accurate or are the most…

A little NSV, share yours too!!
Hopefully, this helps people to know that you will start to naturally eat less over time. So I usually order a QT of House Lo Mein (combination of pork, chicken, and shrimp) from my local Chinese place, and of course I usually would eat the entire QT. Not last night though!! I ate about half, and was actually pretty full!…

Under 300 Before End of June
Hi Everyone! I was hoping I could have people join me in this goal so we can keep each other accountable. I've struggle with getting below 300 for a few months, but really want to make this goal by the end of June. I'm at 307 right now, so I know with hard work and support I can do this. If you have a goal in mind for the…

How Women See Themselves
Dove came out with a video of women describing themselves to a former FBI trained sketch artist. The sketch artist didn't look at them at all, and only drew what they described. Then a stranger that had only seen the women a little bit beforehand described the same women to the sketch artist. The results were often…

Blood Pressure
As with most overweight people I have usually always had high blood pressure. Unfortunately, high blood pressure also runs in my family. My father (who's weight has fluctuated over the years at 5'9, been on medication as long as I can remember), my grandmother (who was about 5'0 and usually 120-130 lbs, also on medication…

Looking for friends!
I've been on here on and off for a while now. The biggest struggle is not having people on here that will support you. I'm looking for people I can share my triumphs and downfalls with. I have a long road ahead of me, of trying to lose 100+ lbs. Feel free to add me, so we can keep each other on track!
