Workout Video for person with NO endurance whatsoever
I'll be honest, I'm a person who can and does get winded running up a flight of stairs. I really want to start adding cardio and strength training to my life, but I AM HORRIBLY OUT OF SHAPE! It's really pathetic. I almost die after a 100 yard sprint. So I was wondering are there some good starter home videos for people…

Exercising til you puke: Okay or not so okay?
This may be a stupid question, but is it bad for you to exercise until you puke? When I did sports in high school during the first "conditioning" week all my coaches had the goal of making us throw up. Puke drills. I know I'm horribly out of shape. However, when I push myself hard and throw up am I doing any damage to my…

Weight loss putting strain on relationship?
Has anyone else felt like their relationship is strained after you started your life style change to be healthier? I feel like I've changed so much in the past couple of months, I am definitely not the same person I was a year ago, and I feel like its taken it's toll on my marriage. He's expressed no desire to make any…
Cold Skin after cardio
Every time I do cardio, whether is's a stationary bike, elliptical, 30 DS, runnning, yoga, my skin is always cold to the touch. I can work up a sweat, get my HR into the cardio zone, and yet my skin feels like I stood outside in a snow storm for a while. Its always been this way ever when I was a healthy weight/BMI in high…
A question about "Aunt Flo"
I don't know where else to post this so if it's in the wrong category my apologies. Ever since I was 12, (I'll be 25 next month) my time of the month hasn't been, well, monthly. It shows up whenever it wants and stays gone for however it wants too. When I was younger I was told that it was normal, and it'd get regular as I…
Weight Fluctuations
So I'm just wondering if anyone else weight fluctuates a lot. I'll weigh myself on Monday and be at 195lbs, then I'll stick to my 1200 calories drink my water (and coffee) weigh myself Tuesday and I weigh 200lbs. After a mild freak out I'll eat my 1200 calories, drink the same amount of water (and coffee) go to bed weigh…
What NSV are you waiting for?
We all have that NSV we want to achieve by losing weight and getting healthier. Thought it would be fun to share what non scale goal you have. Do you want to fit into those skinny jeans? Win a best body contest? Be able to count your ribs by looking at them? Wear an itty bitty bikini? Finish a marathon? Get a two syllable…
Low calorie coffee cream?
So I love me some coffee with french vanilla flavored cream, but man those little cups have a lot of calories and sugar. Are there any low cal low sugar creamers out there that any of you guys use? And giving up coffee is not an option.
Where do you get your burn?
What's your workout preference? Do you like to work out at the gym, at home doing vidoes, walking the dog, a bike ride? Why do you perfer that method? I work out at home, mostly doing a stationary bike. Why? Because I can watch TV and knit while burning calories. Plus the nearest gym is a 25 minute drive, and getting the…
Most Difficult lifestyle change you've made
Pretty self explanatory. In your opinion what has been the hardest lifestyle change you've had to make to reach your fitness/weight loss goals? Cutting out fast food has been the hardest for me. At my peak weight my husband and I ate out 3 or 4 nights a week. I'm proud to say it has been 77 days since I last had fast food.…
MMJ Users
First and foremost this is a post FOR MMJ users, NOT people who are against it or want to judge! Are there any MMJ users on here? I've been a MMJ user for the last 2 years, which is when I put on a lot of my weight. I have no plans on stopping since it's the only thing I've found that helps with my back pain. My question…
People Avoider
Does anyone else avoid people while they're trying to lose weight? Or ditch friends because of their weight? Yes on both for me. I pushed most of my friends away when i reached 200+lbs because I was embarrassed of the way I look/ed. However now that the weight is (slowly) starting to come off I noticed I'm pushing people…
Self Sabotager
Do you ever feel completely unlikable and that's the real reason you weigh so much? I'm afraid if I ever get "skinny" and at a weight others find attractive I will have no shield to hide behind. Now it's easy to justify people not liking me, it's because I'm fat and unattractive and mad about the fact. But am I? I'm afraid…
Working in the food industry = depressing
While making a lifestyle change to become healthier and skinner it has become really depressing to work in food industry. I'm not talking about not being able to eat the food, I really don't want to. I'm talking about watching all these extremely obese people come in and order foods with 1000+ calories. It just makes my…

2 jobs and A spouse, how do you find time?
I recently started a new job, and my workouts have hit a wall. I no longer am willing to find the time to go to the gym. Between the two jobs I'm working between 60-70 hours a week. Then when I get home all I want to do is sit and relax, and spend time with my husband. I'm waking up earlier (Have to be to work at 6:30) so…
It's Amazing What a difference Support can make!
Every time I've tried to lose weight I've never really gotten a whole lot of support, and it's not long before I go back to my old eating habits and laziness. However, this go around my beautiful, wonderful sister has been there every day of my journey. She even joined this website to further support me. She texts me…
Just Can't picture myself Skinny
I just started my weight loss journey, and I still have a long way to go. My problem is that I'm losing motivation because I just can't picture myself skinny. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember. I've always been the token "fat friend" and the "fat sibling" those are terms I've come to accept of myself. My…
