My new comfort food
So, I was pissed off today and I comforted myself with food as always, but today it was different type of food. It's boiled broccoli and cauliflower with 70 grams of Mautner and Markhof kräuter dressing (you can obviously use any other dressing, but my fevorite is always kräuter). So here it is: What is your comfort food…

Is walking enough?
Hi everybody! I've been wondering if you can get fit by walking only. I know you can lose weight and not exercise at all, but I don't want to just end up being "skinny fat", I want my body to have a nice shape.

My own little bucket list
I have been pretty depressed and haven't been motivated to do much when it comes to weight loss or anything but college, really.

Do workouts that focus on only one part of the body work?

I feel like my face is getting bigger.
I've lost 10 kg (22 lbs) so far and I can see that my whole body is getting thinner,and maybe it's just me,but I feel like my face is getting bigger.
