Prednisone & Belly Fat
Hi there. I'm currently on 15mg of Prednisone (the devil), tapering down from 40mg. Although I've been eating really well and exercising almost daily, my belly is STILL BIG. It's just bloated and puffy, and I look pregnant! Has anyone experienced this bloating, and if so, how did you get rid of it (other than going off the…

Women are insane.
Seriously. All my friends are guys, minus one girl I considered a sister. She and I couldn't have been more different: she thrived on drama and chaos, always fighting with someone. I am the complete opposite; I lead a stress-free and happy life. Things came to a head a few days ago, and she (gasp!) removed me from her…

Apple Cider Vinegar?
Hi, I occasionally drink ACV in a glass of water here and there, but I'm looking for any experiences that you've had drinking it consistently. Did it help with weight loss, energy, clearing up skin, or anything else? Just curious. I love the taste, but I just don't drink it often. Thanks!! EDIT: I do use it as a toner and…

I quit smoking.
Yesterday, I decided to quit smoking. I was about a pack a day for years and years. I've quit a few times here and there but it never stuck; hopefully this time works! The cravings are bearable but I can't stop coughing! I'm sure my coworkers are ready to throw me out the window! I know with quitting smoking comes…

Carbs from fruit?
Hi all, I seem to go over my carbs almost daily, but the majority of them come from fruit. Is this as bad as I think it is, or are fruits and veggies okay in any amount? I'm on my last 10 pounds to lose (YAY!) and I'm trying to eat really well. Don't want fruit to screw it all up. Thanks!!

Quit Smoking 2 Weeks Ago, Hello Weight Gain..
Hello! After a 6+ month hiatus on here, I have returned. My last cigarette was Monday, August 12, 2013, at 5:21pm. I was a smoker for 15 years, and I'm proud to say that I'm now a quitter. With that being said, I CAN'T STOP EATING. I am always hungry, and always snacking. This website has helped me lose weight in the past,…

Shakeology?
So today I ordered a one month supply of Shakeology in the vegan chocolate flavor. My friend is a BeachBody coach and has had amazing success with their programs and nutrition, so I decided to give it a try. Have you ever tried Shakeology, and if so, what were your results/thoughts?

Do you see progress or flaws?
6 lbs from my goal weight and I still feel huge. I was chatting with a woman at the gym while we were both studying ourselves in the locker room mirror a few days ago. I was envious of her flat stomach; she wanted my butt. Do you still see flaws or do you see how far you've come? All I can focus on is the fat that's still…

I feel like I've hit a wall.
Finals week starts tomorrow at school. I've been trying to be cautious about snacking and not pigging out, but today I had pizza AND del taco. Definitely hitting the gym later tonight. I renewed my gym membership on Friday after it lapsed for a month. I'm happy to go back, however I'm about 10lbs away from my goal and they…

Coconut Milk Coffee Creamer
Hi Everybody! I'd like to offer a tip on coffee creamer to fellow coffee lovers. As you may know, a lot of creamers are high in sugar and calories. I'm vegan, and was using Silk Soy Creamer, but decided to try Coconut Milk creamer this week. It's really good, and doesn't taste like coconut at all! If you're watching…

UGH. went way over my calories today.
UGH UGH UGH. One of those days I suppose. Can't stop eating, and no matter how much I eat, I'm not full. Can't seem to muster up the willpower to say no today. Just keep shoveling it in. I'm very disappointed in myself. Ok. I'm done venting.

15 pounds down with a mini-victory!
Hi there! I'm so excited about my success on here so far, I had to share a mini-victory I had today. To preface: I'm 5'2", and currently 117lbs, with a starting weight of 132lbs. A few years ago, I was really happy with my weight (about 105-110) and had a few pair of jeans that I LIVED in and loved. As the weight gained,…

30 Day Shred - Knees are sad
Hi there, I just finished Level 1 Day 7 of the 30 Day Shred and my knees are KILLING ME. I've never had any knee problems, but the past day or two, I've found just normal daily activities are making my knees feel like they're going to give out on me. Anyone else having/had this issue?

Mini-Goals: Ideas for Rewards?
Hi there, I'm trying to come up with good rewards for my mini-goals. The problem with this is...I can't think of any. I'm pretty on top of mani-pedis, and I don't really need any new stuff. What do you do when you reach a mini-goal?
