I know it's petty but...
It really irritates me when people reupload my scans to their tumblr. Why is it so hard to just reblog it from my account?
it just hit me how awesome we actually are
losefatnotweight:
seriously, think about it. We may not be at our UGW yet, but at least we aren’t sitting on our asses still at our starting weight, wishing we were happy. We are trying to truly change ourselves and our lifestyle and that’s pretty amazing once you think about it.
I’m proud of us :), cheers!

What is up with all the "you're perfect" posts?
Why not just state the real truth; you’re not perfect, no one is. Being happy with yourself doesn’t mean believing you’re ideal the way you are. It means appreciating who you are; the good and the bad, but being willing to strive toward being a better person. Everyone has bad habits that drive other people crazy. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone messes up at some point....

2 tbsps of butter for one serving seems like an awful lot… unless this is for people following a very low/no carb/high fat/atkinsesque diet?
It’s not 1 serving; I know the bowl is deceiving. Two of us ate it but I think it should have been split between 3 people, maybe even 4. I always try to...

Wheat Intollerance?
ajourneybacktohealth:
So on Friday I got the results of my biopsy and I officially do not have Celiac Disease, which is awesome, but still leaves me at a loss as to why I get so sick when I eat wheat. Blood tests show I am not allergic to it and now I know I am not Celiac, but yet I know after the gluten challenge that my body just cant handle it!
Wheat Intollerance and a “gluten free” diet it...
Don't think of it as a diet, think of it as "I...

WHY THE SCALES CAN LIE →
I’ve been on the search for an explanation as to why I’m still slimming down without losing weight and in some instances gaining. Obviously my body isn’t creating a perfect balance of muscle as I lose fat. While looking through forums I found an article someone had posted and thought it was interesting. It was wrote based on a low carbohydrate diet but I think that large portions...

Thanks Nikki! I’m on the last week of the 4-Week Fit & Fabulous challenge. It doesn’t look like much on paper but it’ll kick your ass.

The worst, weirdest, and earliest Shark Week I’ve had in years is over. It ended as abruptly as it started and thankfully the worst was during a rest day. The good news is now I can finish this month’s challenge on a high note.
I haven’t checked the scale since the beginning of the month and I honestly don’t give a damn what it says. My legs look amazing (I only thought I...

Uncovering Your Hidden Abs
soon2befit:
goal150:
When people want to tighten their midsection, they typically hit the floor to do endless crunches. What they don’t know is that unless you are already fairly trim, crunches may be a waste of time. It is a common misconception that the burn you get in your midsection from doing crunches would help reduce belly fat and create...

Why Losing Weight Won't Change Your Shape (and... →
fitvillains:
Hourglass, pear, apple or square? Whether you’re an extra small or a triple X large, you’re shape is your shape, for better or worse.
That means, if you don’t already have an hourglass like Kim Kardashian, you can’t get one through diet and exercise. It also means that if Kim wanted smaller, more square hips, she wouldn’t be able to have them either. We’re built the way we’re...

unpopular opinion:
skinny-pleaseeee:
I DON’T WANT TO BE SUPER TONED.
I mean yes, I want abs you can sort of see… but i don’t want them to be really defined. I don’t know it’s just… like when i see pictures of really toned girls it makes me think of a man! i just want a flat stomach and slimmer thighs, not muscles bulging out.
I don’t want to be super toned either. I want definition and to be healthy but I...

It’s so great to know I’m not alone but it also makes me feel bad that someone else had to go...

About myself and why I eat a low carb diet.
I get questions from time to time as to why I eat a low carbohydrate diet and whether or not its healthy. Let me start by saying, if all you know about LC is what you’ve heard from the media or your friend’s sister’s cousin who used it as a crash diet and gained all their weight back afterward, please go to my post what-is-low-carb to read my article on it and to see a non-diet...

3 Common Dieting Mistakes →
The All Or Nothing Attitude
All or nothing dieters will often pick out a complicated diet that is almost impossible for them to maintain. Before beginning, they will search the kitchen for anything that does not fit the plan and throw it in the garbage. They are planning to be the perfect dieter, and so they will be, for one day, three days, seven days or even a couple of weeks. Then,...

boostyouresteem:
I hear this all the time - she’s prettier than me, smarter than me, hotter than me, and my self esteem plummets. If you keep validating yourself by someone else and their definition, you’ll never be happy. They won’t be in your life forever so you’ll have to keep searching for definitions and…
