Girls... some advice on Spanx?
Ok, I bought a particularly scandalous dress to wear to my bachelorette party in Vegas... any thoughts on the type of Spanx I should wear? And do "Assets" from Target work as well, or should I splurge on the real deal? Keeping in mind that I'm in the process of losing a fair amount of weight.

Can't wait to sneak some food

Getting fast food on my way home from work, eating it in the car before I got home and STILL eating dinner so no one would be the wiser 3. Eating honey…

just some motivation =)
nobody on here should give up. just some inspiration. but if you lose 10 pounds a month or even 8 (which doesn't seem like much but --->) then that's like 24-30 pounds in 3 months, which is 2 pounds a week. in which you have lost almost 30 pounds by december which will be totally worth it. And think about next summer. If…

Harbor hope.
Daily Inspiration for September 15, 2010 Harbor hope. So what do you do when you stumble? Do you shake your head in self-disgust and say to yourself, "Well, what else is new? I always screw up. What's the point?" Or do you humbly acknowledge the fact that you are a flawed human being (like everyone else on the planet) and…

OK, enough with the office potlucks and birthday treats!!
I work in an office of 90% women and they celebrate EVERYTHING with food...birthdays, babies, weddings, etc...for every major meeting we hold, there is also a potluck that goes along with it. At first, it was easy to 'pass' on the treats by politely saying no thank you, but now many of the ladies get offended if you don't…

Night Time...is the right time..FOR EATING! Gah!
It's so funny how during the day I can stay on track and positive but when the sun sets I turn into this completely unsexy sort of chocolate-mad werewolf. NOT CUTE.

It's a bummer but I shouldn't let it bug me
So I admit, I weigh myself every day and I'm a bit obsessed.....I have to check the scale at night before I go to bed and then first thing in the morning. It doesn't set my mood for the day if I don't loose anything or if I maintain but it doesn't make me happy. Anyway, last week the weight just melted off. Seriously I…

***Warning*** Confession
I was feeling sorry for myself this morning because I got in a fight with someone. I had woken up with a lot of energy and had planned on working out early this am, but instead I opened up the pantry and dug into some unopened oreos (which aren't even mine). After I ate one I finished the entire row. I felt better, but I…
