Loving Who I Am
So after years of loathing and despising myself no matter how much weight I lost or how much exercise I fit into a day/week/month, I decided I needed to work on how I view myself. I realized that in order to be successful at weight loss and fitness, I had to love who I am and stop beating myself up all of the time. So I…

Tips?
Does anyone have any tips for losing weight that really worked for them and helped them? I do not lose weight easily and my body doesn't react to exercise like I would like it to. Everything takes a billion years for me.)

Low Self Worth
I've been having a really hard time lately with extremely low self worth. I was doing really well for awhile with positive thoughts and taking care of myself and losing weight... But I've spiraled back down to hating myself and sabotaging my success. I can't even look at my body without feeling disgust and extreme sadness.…

Carbs and Fat
I'm having a hard time balancing out my carbs and fat intake. I find it easy to eat too much (healthy only) fats, and very hard to eat enough carbs. I WILL NOT do anything low-fat or non-fat (unless it's naturally a low-fat or non-fat food). Does anyone have any suggestions for healthy carbs that don't add too much fat to…

I always doubt myself
I start 30 Day Shred tomorrow, and already I'm having these negative "you can't do it. you won't see results. you won't succeed," thoughts rushing into my mind. And of course, when I start thinking these thoughts, then I start debating if doing it is even worth it. I hate how my brain works!! I know I HAVE to do this...and…

Time spent on workout question
It takes me about 45 minutes to do the full workouts with proper resting included. Is this too fast or is it a good length of time?

I Can't Stop Munching
Lately I've had this appetite that is like...never ending. I eat, and then I want something else. So I eat, and then I want something else. And it repeats itself throughout the day. I'm normally not like this and I just want it to stop! Has anyone else experienced this sporadically? If so, what did you do to stop these…

Leslie Sansone
Does anyone have any thoughts about her DVD's?? I used to do them regularly...then stopped. I haven't done them in awhile and I just can't decide if they're really effective or not. I'm not looking to bulk up or become some muscle bound lady...I just want to be healthy and keep myself looking good. Thoughts??

Just a question...
I'm thinking of starting up weight lifting and strength training. But I have zero idea where to begin. Any suggestions?? (Also, if you have any advice for sticking to a routine once you start...that would be much appreciated as well. I have follow through issues.) Thanks in advance!

Calorie Intake
I just have to say, it's quite the task to retrain your body from consuming 2000 calories a day down to 1440. I'm learning the difference between REAL hunger, and hunger-for-the-fun-of-eating hunger. :)

Does anyone else struggle with this?
I think I stress too much to count calories. Every time I start using MFP, I gain weight because I'm constantly stressing, stressing, stressing about everything I put in my mouth. Then! I STOP using MFP and I'll drop a few pounds. I keep going back to use it, though, because I wonder if I've changed and it'll be more…

I'm an idiot...
I weighed myself tonight...with clothes on...after eating...AND it's that time of the month (sorry if that's tmi). I'm so dumb!! Now I feel allll...fat and gross. Despite my knowing all of the facts, it still messes with your head to see a high number on the scale. :-/

Question about pushups
I JUST started 30 Day Shred (did day 2 yesterday) and the pushups are really killin' my arms! My left arm hurts way more then my right, though, and I can't bend it totally straight without it really hurting. Is that just normal muscle pain?? Or am I possibly doing them wrong? I mean...my right arm DOES hurt quite a bit,…

Wow!
I just did Day 2 of 30 Day Shred and oh my goodness!!! It is TOUGH! When I'm done I feel like I'm gonna hurl. But that's a good thing! I'm so excited to see the results. If anyone out there wants a good at home workout, get 30 Day Shred for sure!!

Low Fat Snacks
What are some low fat snacks that you like to munch on? I seem to always go over my fat intake because I eat an oz of nuts and have Earth Balance on my toast in the morning. So annoying. Anyways... I know veggies and things like that, but I was just wondering if there's any unique ideas out there. :)

I hate exercise... :(
I've lost all the weight...I'm a size 6 at 140lbs (5lbs less then my original goal). Now all I have to do is tone my body. But I HATE exercising! I hate it! And I can't seem to motivate myself to DO it. Any suggestions...please...anyone??

WEIGHT GAIN!!!!!!!
*big stinkin' sigh* Last week, I weighed myself at night, fully dressed (we're talkin' jeans and a sweatshirt), after a big meal and I weighed 146. But TONIGHT I weighed myself with jeans and a t shirt on after a big meal and I was at 151!!! And I'm extremely on track with my nutrition intake and my exercising. It's…

I can't stop snacking!! It's so annoying! I have this... insatiable appetite and I can't seem to fill up! It's been going on for a few weeks now. Ugh... what do I do???

Turbo Jam Hilarity!
My sister and I recently started doing Turbo Jam in the mornings together... It's hilarious!! It's not the workout that makes me laugh, it's us trying to DO the workout! I find a lot of humor in it because we're really trying hard to be more active and to exercise together and that makes me SO happy... But trying to nail…

New Jeans!
Tonight I went to Target because the size 10 jeans I was wearing were LITERALLY falling off of me. They looked sooo terrible... They were so baggy and loose. So I went to Target and grabbed a pair of size 8's. I was pretty excited to be buying that size! But my husband picked up a size 6 pair of jeans and said: "Why don't…

Anybody heard of...
...Leslie Sansone?? She does at home walking workouts and they're AWESOME!! Granted, they're not hard core gym workouts that get you lifting weights and doing long strenuous hours of exercising. However! They ARE hardcore aerobics workouts and I LOVE them! Her workouts have helped me in losing 36 pounds and I have seen…
