I am hungry ALL THE TIME!
Ugh! What to do. I had been active here about 2 1/2 years ago. I was doing great, had lost 60 lbs with about 127 to go but felt it was doable and any loss was a good loss. I was tracking my food, working out with a trainer and just felt good. Then BAM! I was diagnosed with uterine cancer, had surgery etc and was finally…

This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle, a journey!
So I have been overweight since puberty and obese since my mid 20's. Many factors played into this and most were more emotional than anything. Don't get me wrong, I like food, however lack of self esteem and well meaning but ego attacking comments did not help. I have tried so many times and for so many reasons to lose…

I meet with my trainer on…

Over 50, 200lbs to lose. Anyone in same boat?
Some days I feel like my ship is sinking. :grumble: When I started this journey I had 227lbs to lose. I was down 30 and then gained 3 back. Anyhow, about 6 weeks ago, I started working with a trainer and counting calories. I had lost 8 lbs but gained 3 in the last 2 weeks. I am trying not to get discouraged. I know I am…

Yesterday, I went to the mall and walked with 2 friends. I did two laps, was sweating, heart racing and got a shin splint. Now I cannot get anyone to tell me for sure how…
