I give myself excuses, I guess it is easy to let myself down, as if I am doing something for someone else I can follow through. The question is do you log cals as you…

Staying OFF the scale challenge.
So. I've been doing a lot of big talk about "how I need to make a lifestyle change, not just diet". You know, really focusing on eating the right stuff in the right amounts, developing a workout routine I can stick with, improving my general health.

But under the guise of eating leftover turkey,…

Firm Believers Club?
Does anyone else do the Firm workouts? I've been doing it for about a week and love it. I do the Hi-Def Sculpt 3 days a week and walk 3 days a week.

Some suggested that I could eat more or less what I want, but in…
