Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been regularly going to the gym again.

Every diet or weight loss expert seems to recommend keeping food journals of everything you eat if you want to lose weight. I want to know how successful people are with this really.

In 2009, Shay Sorrells was the heaviest contestant ever on the Biggest Loser reality show. She weighed 476 pounds and was at a loss both physically and mentally

Hi everyone, this is my first blog ever. The idea came to me the other night when I received a call from my niece Natalie, who lives in another state. She has a friend, Kim who wants to lose 15 to 20 lbs by the time her husband comes back from his tour.

April is about the time New Year’s resolutions dissolve and gyms become less crowded again.  It’s not that folks have lost their desire to trim pounds or increase their level of fitness.  For some, it’s simply a motivation problem.  They want to continue, but just can’t seem to make the time amidst competing demands.  But for others, they just don’t enjoy exercise.  I once watched a woman jogging whose scrunched up face displayed a combination of irritation and defeat.  She wasn’t enjoying herself, but felt compelled to continue.  So it’s no surprise that keeping our fitness habits going is difficult.  Any activity that isn’t innately enjoyable quickly becomes drudgery and nearly impossible to maintain.
