On the road to SUCCESS!
I haven't reached my target weight yet but I am seeing the efforts of eating healthier and exercising. My sister's wedding is in about a 6 weeks and a little less than 2 months ago we went dress shopping, which was horribly disappointing. Nothing fit right and I was feeling really down and that's when I knew I had to lose…

Confused but very happy
So I hear that muscle weighs more than fat. Is this why my weight has kind of stayed the same the last couple of weeks but I am down another pants size? I am weight training, have been since May, down from a size 14 to a size 10 in 2 1/2 months!! Amazing but my weight always seems to plateau. Any ideas?? Should I stop…

I can't believe I did it and 2 weeks earlier than I planned!
I have reached my first goal I've lost 30 pounds and I did it 2 weeks earlier than I expected! It feels very liberating like maybe I can actually do this. I know it's no where near the 150 I needed to loose but it's something I haven't been at 300 since before I got married. I had to recheck the scale 3 times before I…

Gym Costs?
Just curious...how much do you all pay for the gym each month? We live in a smaller town and don't have a Bally's or any other popular gym that give good promo deals. We do have some smaller ones and an athletic club which all seem to be pretty expensve (about $45/mo). Just curious what you all pay. :) Thanks!

what a nice trip to the store
When I started this 4 months ago I was a size 24. i can't even remember a time when I was less than an 18 but yesterday I went to the store and tried on a pair of 16 pants, and they fit. I didn't quite accept this so I went to 2 other stores and tried on different 16 pants and they all fit. I just can't even believe it.
