BMR Frustration
Ok so I eat around 1200-1400 calories a day, lost a lot of weight. I eat 5 times a day, 3 meals and 2 snacks.

Well I initially lost 73 pounds and fell off the wagon, no…

After that one time I didn't have one until I was on birth control. I initially lost 73 pounds but I gained about 15 back and I am back on track. I feel more motivated than when I first…

Calling all RUNNERS =)

I started this journey August 2009 but I didn't get serious until a horrible break up between my ex fiance and I of 6 years. I was in search of a new me and overall happiness of myself, I just wanted "me" back. I have lost 55 pounds and I am more than half way to my goal weight, I know I am not there yet but it feels so…
