Who we are and why we are here:

'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.

What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.

We are intentionally avoiding fad diets, expensive meal plans, and other extreme (expensive!) weight loss plans.

This week...

Some days it just feels awful and frustrating. Some days I forget to eat all day then I eat too much that night. Skip two mornings later and I've put on two pounds. Two whole pounds! It takes me 1-2 weeks to take off two pounds depending on too many factors to calculate. I'm hopeful that was just one of those daily fluctuations and that I didn't really do that much damage. I had that happen earlier this week. I've been stronger since then, but I won't weigh myself for a couple days because those numbers can really mess with my head.

After walk the next morning, I lost all focus of the point and started to get down on all sort of other sucky things going on around me/us. Even keeping my head about me and saying "it's okay" to myself as well as "forgive yourself" and "today is a new day" which are my most common affirmations, I just couldn't get it to sink it. I did okay with food and exercise that day, but I felt like I was going through the motions and not enjoying anything.

You know, you can pick an easy, flexible diet that works for you and STILL have shit days.
