Michaela Week 1: 12 months to Total Transformation
Week 1 isn’t really the truth. It’s Week 1 on this cool site but Week 30 on my weight-loss/body/life transformation journey. I started this journey on January 4, 2012. Yep, that’s right, a New Year’s Resolution junkie. Weighing in at a whopping 215 lbs., (even for 5’7 that’s a lot) I was using the ‘F’ […]
Jade’s Week 2: Exercising and Portion Control
Week one down! This week was extremely successful. Losing 4 pounds was super exciting — I actually weighed myself three times on different scales so that I was sure. And — not having to move the dial past 160 was awesome! I felt the most successful with my exercise routine and had a few hiccups […]
Mike Week 1: Adjusting to Paleo Diet
My name Is Mike Borassi and I was on the show “Survivor” three years ago. I made to the show in Brazil but at the last minute I was medically bumped off for being overweight and high blood pressure (175/ 95). I thought I was done, but I lost weight and had a jaw operation […]
Cassie Week 1: Once More, With feeling!
I feel like I have started “the first day of the rest of my life” about 100 times already. The fact is that the first day of my life was the day I was born in 1987. We can be reborn, reinvented, but our life goes on and one day life will go on without […]
Byron Week 1: The Face (Weight) Off
This morning was dramatic (like every other morning of my life): I had a stare off with the coffee shop’s pastry counter. SPOILER ALERT: The pastries always win. I need you to picture this: I always march towards the door of the coffee joint with like, THE BEST intentions. I hope to get in, order […]
Scott Week 1: Getting Back In The Game
At the end of 2010 I was brought in to write for a site started by some close friends of mine. I wrote as “Big Skeezy” and we started creating posts entitled “The Big Skeezy Challenge”. The challenges were all absolutely terrible. The first was to see whether or not I could eat fifty boneless […]
Mashelle Week 1: Trying to Find Inspiration
Being “fat” has always been a challenge that I have had to deal with in my life. I feel like I have spent the majority of my adult life yo-yoing between the same 100 or so pounds and I have never been able to successfully keep the pounds off for more than a year at […]
Holly Week 1: One Woman’s Path to Becoming Overweight
I wasn’t always overweight. As a child, I was a picky eater, and my parents coped with it by bribing me with candy or just letting me eat what I wanted. Driven toward sugar, carbohydrates, and fried foods, I often ate at McDonalds (12-40 points) or had a hot dog (8 points) and crackers (4 […]
Summer Week 1: Ready to Get Off this Roller Coaster Once and For All
My name is Summer, and like most people who have struggled with weight loss, I have a love/hate relationship with my health and losing weight. I love the way I feel when I’m living a healthy lifestyle and nourishing my body with the nutrients and exercise that it needs, but I hate the work it […]
