A blog on motivation
This is a link written by my friend, neighbor and triathlete Claudia. Please take a moment to read it and remember the women she writes about when you hear that voice in your head that says, "But I don't wanna workout".

How can I get my hubby on board with lifestyle change?
Hi there...I am fairly new here...been on about a month. While I am not very faithful about tracking, I do see the benefit of the site, just knowing that I have a support community, being able to see the numbers rise and fall as I track food and exercise, and especially when the scales are good to me.....the whole idea of…

Picture shows the truth...
I tried to post this a while ago, and couldn't figure out how to post the picture. The thing is, this picture was taken about a month ago at a point when I was so excited that I'd so far lost 15 lbs.
