Yoga for Fat People!

pasdesolee: In my time practicing yoga, I often find myself frustrated with my body and myself because regardless of how flexible I may be, my fat simply gets in the way of some of my favorite poses. And while searching for yoga videos on youtube, I became frustrated by watching these thin, svelte ladies do these same poses that I struggle with, but with little to no difficulty! Does that mean...

This week, I’ve been focusing less on calories and more on eating healthy. I’ve stopped drinking sodas and I’ve been making my own fresh fruit and vegetable juice. And I’ve lost a pound and a half! I’m back down to my lowest weight since I’ve started my weight loss journey, and I feel really great. I don’t feel hungry or deprived, I feel healthy and...

I just bought a juicer! The only thing I’ve made so far is apple juice, and it was very tasty! I’m going to go out this weekend and buy tons of fruits and veggies to juice- do any of you juice? What are your favorite combinations?

The Clean Fifteen & The Dirty Dozen

katiohead: If you’re like me, you want to buy organic when it’s reasonable to do so and you can afford it - so keep in mind the Clean 15 and the Dirty 12 when you are grocery shopping. Prioritize organic if you’re buying something from The Dirty Dozen list. The Clean Fifteen: Fruits and Vegetables which tested lowest in pesticide residue (Source: EWG): Onions Sweet corn Pineapples Avocados ...

cindydindy: curvyandhealthy: Have any of you done a juice fast? I’m thinking of trying it- I love the idea of cleansing my body like that. I definitely want to eat fewer processed foods and more natural, organic foods. If you find one you like, will you let me know? I’m in desperate need of a good cleanse. You’ve inspired me even more to get healthy, so thanks for that! I will definitely...

guhgollyjo: I have realized that I want to lose weight. Not because I am unhappy with my looks, but to be healthier. I don’t eat right and I want to take better care of my body. What’s funny is it seems so much easier and nicer being body positive. I’m not striving to lose weight because I hate myself or my body but because I love myself and want to keep it as long as I can. Its so much nicer...

Foodie/yoga/body positive health blogs!

thinquinn: I’ve unfollowed several blogs that post more traditional fitspo (pretty much fit girls in their underwear), and I’m looking for more blogs like mine to follow. If you post primarily healthy food, yoga pictures, or body positive motivation, please reblog this! You do not have to be following me, and I will be checking out everyone xx

Quote that I hate

paleofitness: “Eat for the body you want, not for the body you have” Umm no how about eat for the body you have - the only one you will ever get - supply it with nutrients to give you energy and make your brain sharper. Remove the poison from it and show it some love. Your body is a part of YOU and who you are, and it deserves only the best.
