Frustration
Hey! I am getting frustrated. I have been at it hard for 2 weeks now. Logging all my food, not cheating on logging, working out 5 days a week 1-2 hour workouts that are a mix of cardio and strength training. I have only lost 3-5 lbs....it's teetering between them. Yesterday I was 218...today 220. I feel like last time I…

Fitbit Calorie Adjustment
So yesterday I walked over 10000 steps and today I did less than 7000....but when it synced with fitnesspal today its saying I burned more calories today than yesterday. Anyone know why that would be? Something wrong with the fitbit or does it measure calorie adjustment with other factors? Thank you :)

My First Success Story!
Today I reached it to onderland! At the beginning of this year I weighed 228 lbs and was sooooo uncomfortable with myself. I graduate college today and I wanted to weigh under 200 lbs by today and today I weighed in at 199! I reached this first major goal I had for myself and it feels soooo good not to see the 200s…

Cute Style!
Something I love when I look at people's success stories is how their style changes from when they are overweight to their new weight. That is something I look forward to, cuter and comfier clothes! I've lost almost 28 lbs now and am going shopping tonight for my dress for my graduation on tuesday and I am actually excited…

What was your proud moment today?
For me, today I was craving a soft taco from taco bell. I had enough room in my calories to get two!! I thought, sweet I'm going to get them after class. But after class I realized if I went through that drive thru, today I would not have the will power to NOT order the other things I want. I am only on day 4 of eating…

What is your favorite Light/Low calorie beer?
Alright you crazies! I love beer, beer tastings, beer festivals and love trying new ones! With dinner maybe I'll have one beer that I like (I saved some calories for that tonight! yay!). But some days I may want a few and it'd be good to have a lighter or lower calorie option. Soooo let me rephrase: What's your favorite…

Lactose Intolerance
I've had stomach problems for years but never really looked into it. I started to figure it was the food I was eating so I started by cutting out a lot of dairy...and my stomach started to feel better. Now I don't know if I am actually lactose intolerant but now when I eat dairy foods I get really bad stomach pain so I am…

Don't give up just because you've had a minor set-back
I've always fallen in the habit of giving up because of a set-back like eating really bad for a day or not losing any weight. This morning I weighed myself and gained 4 lbs even though I have been working out. It really bummed me out but I decided I would just go to the gym anyway even though I REALLY didn't want to…

Food shopping for one?
I find it hard to shop for food for only me. No one else in my house eats the foods that I want to eat to help me lose weight seeing as no one else needs to lose weight. Buying produce, meats, and other perishbles feels like a waste of money because I can't eat it fast enough and things go bad but I know I need to include…

One step forward, two steps back

Today I ate pretty healthy and went to the gym but I feel like my bad week ruined everything I've been working on for a month and a half. It's so hard to lose weight but gaining it seems…

What to eat when you're not at home?
I was just wondering what everyone does/eats when they are away from home? How do you make healthy choices? At my boyfriend's house he doesn't really have foods that are healthy or that I want to eat, and so when I stay over at his house I don't eat as healthy as I want to or we go out to eat. I only get to see him once a…
