enough?
After a long hard look in the mirror ive decided today to reset my goal to 150lbs instead of the 140 i was aiming for. im 5ft10 and i think 140 is just too low for me as any more weight off and im going to start to look gaunt in the face and too thin on my upper body. I carry weight on my lower half so i think once i get…

I guess like most people you want the weight gone NOW!! I know i did!! But all i can do is tell you my little fat story so you know…

breakfast shock!!
I used to eat porridge for breakfast when i was much bigger but stopped when i hit the gym as i couldn't workout on an overloaded stomach. Im eating super healthy now and started again with the porridge which i love but when i weighed out the recommended 40g portion it wouldn't feed a toddler!! So i measured out a decent…

Is it possible?
Hey all quick question. I've always had a pretty sluggish metabolism and struggled to lose and keep weight off. im the kind who looks at a muffin and gains a kilo:laugh: anyway i started dieting in June and the weight loss even with gym and weight training has been a steady 1-3lbs a week which is fine. The last 3 weeks or…

body dysmorphia and meltdown
ohhhhh i am so not myself right now!! I cant seem to shake the mentality i have gotten myself into. I've been weight training/ gymming for 8 months now 5-6 days a week and was SO motivated even when my weight loss stalled. This last fortnight i cant seem to get it together, im only 7lb from goal and sticking to my diet but…

So there's this guy at my gym that seems to have become my personal stalker. Despite the fact i never take off my ipod and mostly keep my head down because i like to focus he takes no notice of this.
