Fat, depressed, and anti-social...
I cannot escape from feeling depressed about my self image. regardless of what working out does (or rather doesn't do) for me, telling myself to be more positive, trying to see the glass as half full, etc... I always resort to feeling so unbelieveably uncomfortable in my own skin. I have no qualms about my job, my…

GYM-FREE SUCCESS STORIES, PLEASE :)
Hello there! I'm loving that the weather is warming up, and with that said, at the end of the day I find myself leaving an office and not wanting to step foot inside a gym just to miss out on more fresh air.

Refuse to discuss fitness.
Does anyone have a person they have discussed fitness and diet with, and ultimately have vowed to NEVER discuss it again with them because: 1) they are too heavy and unmotivated and don't want to hear about it?? or 2) think they know better than you about EVERYTHING and constantly "one-up" any accomplishment, NSV or PR…

Rewarding yourself!
My husband and I are starting on our weightloss journey, and are working on a list of rewards to give ourselves when we hit a certain milestone!

Seriously too young to give up, but yet i do...
Here's the deal .... I'm 23 years old ..... 5'1", and probably 200lbs, probably more. Last May I weighed in at 200.6 and flipped. I could believe I had hit the 200's, especially at my height!! So I met up with a coach at a local gym and with her awesome help and motivation, I melted 20lbs off of myself in 2 months. I was…

What was your "That's It!" Moment?
For me, it was a bit of foreshadowing. I love photography in it's entirety, but after gaining so much weight, I decided i ALWAYS wanted to be behind the lense. that way i wouldn't have to have pictures of how big i had gotten. But then I got engaged, and then realized, I don't want to be so excited to get my wedding…

show us some leg!!!
So, I don't know about any of you, but when i gained weight, I gained it everywhere, including my legs. My legs are short anyway (I'm 5'1") so of course even 5 pounds on a leg looks like 15! I was wondering if we could get pics of people who have seen a significant change in the appearance of their legs after loosing…
