An Ode to Eggs!
It's been forever since I've had a good egg, with the whites just barely firm and the yolk all runny. In fact, it's been so long that I've forgotten just how filling they are! While boiling eggs for breakfast for tomorrow and Friday, I accidentally undercooked my eggs just a tad in trying to make sure they weren't…

How to stop binges?
Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a long time (at least a year or two). For a little backstory, I have been fat pretty much my entire life, except when I went on here in 10th grade and lost about 40 pounds in 4 months, and gave myself an eating disorder. I gained back a necessary 15-20ish pounds, and then maintained a…

Healthy Substitutions...
So, I searched up a black bean brownie recipe and decided to make some substitutions. I've never done this before, so before I bake them I would like your opinions. Do these substitutions seem okay?

NSV: PULL-UPS!!!!!! :D
So today out of curiosity I took out a pull-up bar that had been gathering dust for a while and hung it up on my door. I dangled from it for a few seconds, and then did TWO HANGING PULL-UPS IN A ROW!!!!!! A few months ago I could only do one by jumping! I guess losing weight gave my arms less to pull... :)

Hit the 120's!!!!
Well, I stepped on the scale today and was 129.2! I am four pounds off of my goal, but I'm just so surprised that I hit a weight that I haven't hit since 6th grade! :D Plus, ten-pound milestones are the BEST.

So I fell off track... :(
Well, I haven't been eating well or exercising very much this week, and I feel terrible. I usually run 6-14 miles about 4 times a week, and then do competitive swimming on all the other days. I also usually keep well within my allotted calories, which is pretty easy because I burn a lot. However, this past week, starting…

50 days in AND....
Well, I am 50 days into my tracking, and today I just ran a half-marathon!!! It wasn't a planned race or anything, I just started running about 2-3 months ago and finally built my way up! :D I also weighed myself this morning after going over my calories the day before and I weighed 131.0! I started this at 145, but I was…

NSV-Ran 10 Miles!!!
I started consistently running around 4 days a week three months ago, along with swimming that I had already been doing for the three other days in the week. When I first began, I would hardly be able to run a mile without passing out afterwards. Today I just ran 10.02 miles. I was not out of breath AT ALL for the whole…

NSV- My First Compliment
Just wanted to say that one of my close friends that I see every day commented on how I lost weight. It's kind of funny, because I still feel exactly the same! Always nice to know my efforts are paying off.. :)

Anyone with Type 2 Diabetes who controlled it and/or lost weight?
Hello, I wasn't sure whether to put this in Success Stories or Motivation and Support, because this isn't for me, it's for my dad. He has uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes, and refuses to go to the doctor or even talk about it. I know that it will be hard to convince him to at least attempt to adapt a healthier lifestyle…

How To Recover From A Fast?
Before I get any comments about not fasting, this is for religious reasons so please be nice. :) So I have to fast tomorrow, and we end the fast with a large meal after sunset. Instead of the large meal, should I eat a smaller/normal-sized meal and just continue on with normal meals but still have the fasting deficit, or…

Am I Losing Weight Too Quickly?
So, pounds aside, I think I might be losing weight too quickly. I have noticed that my muscle mass has gone down(I feel smaller and more doughy), and my skin is getting looser(again with the more doughy feeling plus wrinkling/folding in ways it never did before). I am losing weight to become more healthy, and I don't want…

NSV-Normal Weight Zone!!!! :D
So today I went to the Doctor's office for my annual physical, expecting to still be in the overweight category. Instead, I weighed 137.4 pounds, had a BMI of around 23-point-something, and was in the normal weight range!!! :D My Doctor started to congratulate me, and then she explained that for all of my medical history…

High Protein Low Calorie Options
Does anyone know any foods that have a low calorie content but high levels of protein? They should be preferably non-dairy, but if they have dairy then that's all good too. Thanks! :)

I Over-ate Today :(
Hello. Today I was around 600 calories over my goal amount of calories for the day. Usually this wouldn't bother me as much, but I have a Doctor's Appointment tomorrow and I would like to surprise them by being under 140 pounds, as opposed to around 150 last year. I'm afraid that with the large -although relatively…

Just Ran The Farthest I Have Ever Run In My Life!!!! :D
About an hour ago I just ran 5 and a half miles! The farthest I have ever run before that is three miles, which some could say is not that much of a difference, but I finally broke the five mile mark! This is such a big difference from when I would run one mile and feel like I was going to pass out. Anyone else remember a…
