Afraid to be thin?
I've lost a considerable amount of weight so far and I'm starting to get a lot more attention than I 've been used to. I am still about 50lbs away from my goal and I've hit a major plateau.

Getting in over 2K calories/day
How do you guys get in 2,000+ calories a day? I'm finding it pretty difficult to eat 2,000 calories (while staying within my macros) without feeling like I'm just eating alll day long. Some days I'm so busy that I forget to eat. Other days, I just don't feel that hungry. I guess this means my metabolism is in a pretty…

Especially, as a woman to see other women use this as a way to get out of a ticket, get promoted, get the job, get...anything, really. We are so much more than what we look like and what we can…

81 lbs lost; before & after pics (44 more lbs to go)
I've resisted putting up photos of my previous self because I've been in denial about how big I actually was. Losing weight is not just a physical process. In my opinion, going through the emotional and mental process of becoming a healthy person is just, if not more, challenging. This is my attempt at acknowledging my…

She usually hangs around the…
