Cassie Week 7: Pounds Gained, Lessons Learned
I’m annoyed with myself and when I dig myself into a hole of loathing, it’s difficult to crawl out. It’s also been a side effect of burn out in other areas of my life. One of my dreams was to go through Grad School and get a Master’s degree. For what I do, and want […]
Byron Week 7: The Commitment
I’m just going to bust out with the good news, I’m down to 165 (That’s a five pound weight loss)! I’m celebrating by popping open a bottle of champ… and there’s my problem. Now that things are happening, I’m realizing that this isn’t’ just a moment in my life where I will shed all this […]
Mashelle Week 7: New Food Ideas
Normally I start my articles by bragging about how well my week was or by introducing my topic, but this week things are different. For the first time since I started on this weight loss journey I gained weight. Granted it was only a pound, but a gain is a gain. It has definitely made […]
Scott Week 7: Back To Basics
I remember hitting the wall like it was yesterday. It was right in the middle of my quest to lose weight in 2011, and I was stuck between 295 and 290. No matter what I did, no matter what I tried, I just couldn’t break that barrier. I tried adjusting my diet, working out more, […]
Summer Week 6: Slow and Steady Wins the Race?
I’ve lost another pound this week bringing me down to 223. I should celebrate this loss, but all I keep thinking is it could’ve been more if I didn’t overindulge during the weekend. It’s not even that I eat a lot during the weekend. If anything, I eat less, but it’s what I eat (and […]
Holly Week 7: Addressing and Reassessing the Low-Carb Controversy
Low-carb diets make a lot of claims, including suggestions that the diet can prevent or reverse diabetes and heart disease. On the other hand, opposition parties argue that the diet can increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease or even cancer. I mean, Atkins died at 73 years old, compared to Jack LaLanne’s 97 years […]

Catherine Week 7: Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff
I am feeling frantic and guilty at the moment because I am writing this so late and I hate being late and feeling guilty. I think this is part of my problem. Getting so worked up about things. When I do that I hold it all in. Just like holding the excess weight. I have […]
Elizabeth Week 7: Sick and Fat
This week was mostdefinitely the worst week I have had as far as weight loss goes thus far. Last week was not so hot either, and I wish I had tried harder that week to stay on team because I got hit hard with the stomach flu since my last post. This caused me to […]
Jade Week 6: Are My Friends Making Me Fat?
Coming off the ten pound weight loss from last week, I was on a high. I continued going to the gym, kicked my butt at boot-camp and watched every little tiny piece of food that went into my mouth. I was determined to continue on my weight loss journey and not let anything come between […]
