Okay, I’ve been stalking your site for a while now… so I need to get thing one thing out of the way… SKEE WEE my Soror! Okay… now I can get to the point of my post…

This was a wonderful interview! I have been looking to this site for support where it has been lacking in my own social circle, and there were some points in your interview that really reinforced what I’ve already read. I’m so grateful to be able to come here, and not hear all the ‘girl please, you look fine, etc…’ but truly get support, and tips to help me live the healthy life I know I deserve.
I would love to know what some of the books you read to deal with coping issues… as you stated, that’s something that so many of us really need to address, and I know I personally do.

BTW… I’ve fallen in love you after this interview hun, luv, luv, luv your candor…

Awesome interview! Real talk that we all need
Peer pressure is serious when it comes to food. My friends/family & I most of the time end up at a restaurant where we stuff ourselves. Even if we eat small portions, those portions are high calorie. I won’t even start talking about lunch time. All the downtown restaurants are so tempting!

I have a question about weight training; how did start your weights routine?

  I started in a gym, worked backwards and researched what I could do at home, then created my own weights at the house. I briefly touched on it here: http://blackgirlsguidetoweightloss.com/exercise-101/three-great-ways-to-exercise-at-home/

Girl, this is what I really needed to hear. I wanted to know all of this. You have SO much info. on your site that it takes me a minute to find what I’m really looking for. But the comment about getting friends to do something that’s not related to pigging out is my LIFE! The whole “Life Style Change” does sound corny but its so true! You are truly a blessing & inspiration to me on my weight loss journey. Thank you

build an app for mobile phones, if you can incorporate tracking food, excercise, calorie intake, and a barcode scanner to scan food barcodes, girl you would blow this site up and your future. Get it together and I would be the first to sign up. Enjoyed the interview, answered questions that I wanted to ask. Truly and inspiration! Thanks!

Erika,

I’d just like to say I am so grateful to have been led to your blog (thanks yahoo). This is a first for me to follow a blog but this right here was meant to be. I have been on this journey a longgggggg time but I turned 40 last July and I just felt enough is enough. I don’t have to look this way and don’t have to feel this way. So I am now making life style changes, had slip ups during the holidays but back on track now and am just really happy to have found you. Thank you for being so candid and real I can really relate to everything that I’ve read so far.

A few rules for posting, friends:

Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
Disrespecting me or the men and women who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned. :)
Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I keep the community civil. Everyone appreciates that civility until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail me to complain. I already know you're mad.)
