“If we want to inspire others, we have to achieve success ourselves.”

That’s what Elizabeth Christian, a telephone saleswoman and aspiring motivational speaker, believes — and it’s exactly what she held onto as she worked to lose weight and get in shape.

Authentically Emmie. The Anti-Jared. No Thanks to Cake. 300 Pounds and Running. The Double Chin Diary. Coffee Cake and Cardio. Those are just some examples of bloggers who have for years been the go-to’s for weight loss and healthy living inspiration.

And rightfully so. They’re the leaders in the field, people who have put themselves and their personal journeys out there for the world to see, day-in and day-out. Along the way, they have picked up hundreds of thousands of readers who go to them for motivation, for resources and even just to connect with someone who understands the struggle. 

But what about those lesser-known bloggers?

We know that movies are a great way to stay entertained, and that they’re perfect for curling up on the couch with a healthy snack and relaxing on a Friday night.

Believe it or not, movies can also be a place to find inspiration for our weight loss journeys — as long as we know what to look for.

You’ve met them. The co-worker juicing for a month straight. The cousin who works out two hours a day. The friend who’s always on the latest (and weirdest) Hollywood regimen.

They’re all going to the extremes to lose weight – and the thing is? They’re doing it all wrong.

Trying to lose weight and get healthy is difficult enough by itself, but what if you had to do it while also serving as the primary caretaker of an ill loved one?

It may not sound like too much fun to most of us, but for Sheryl Walder, her mother’s Parkinson’s disease diagnosis was the catalyst to push her into finally taking the leap.

You know who they are – the well-meaning folks who push food on you during the holidays, urging you to “Just have one!” or “Splurge a little, it’s the holidays!” It may be Grandma (which is kind of sweet), but more often than not it’s a friend, neighbor or co-worker — and that’s extra pressure to eat the calorie-laden foods and drinks you don’t need.

More than 38 million Americans suffer from digestive issues. We eat on the go and we eat distracted. This lack of connection with eating can lead to digestive problems that range from indigestion, bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea and can lead to bigger health problems down the road, like, irritable bowel, GERD, heartburn, leaky gut syndrome (as if the other problems didn’t sound attractive enough).

What is Edema?
Edema is a condition characterized by an excess of watery fluid collecting in the cavities or tissues of the body.

Hungry? Congratulations, that means your metabolism is working!

An ideal snack gives you protein or fiber -- or both -- to help you feel full. It should give you plenty of energy without too many calories. Avoid snack foods that are high in added sugar and refined carbohydrates, because they can boost blood sugar too much.

Calories are fuel that gives you the energy to do the things you want to do. It is best that your calories come from nutrient- and fiber- rich sources so that you feel satisfied and full. Nutrient-rich foods also fight disease and maintain proper organ function. However, you can maintain a healthy weight by eating any food as long as you stay within your personal calorie budget.

Premium, real food ingredients are the basis of every Diet-to-Go meal. Selecting fruits and vegetables of the highest quality gives us more control over the nutritional quality and presentation of our meals. We also choose local produce when it is in season to lessen our impact on the planet.

Diet-to-Go chooses the highest quality producers when sourcing its foods. Read more about our featured producers:
