Hello...I'm back after getting to my goal weight last year, and then "eating" back 5-8 lbs between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've found I need a little support and accountability to stay on track. Looking for a few buddies to check in with every few days or so as well as reporting in to for accountability.

I try to do something every day...walking, running, strength...whatever. I also ride my fabulous horse 6-days a week and consider that cardio-ish.

I also try to eat clean (although I do allow daily indulgences like a few buttered popcorn jelly beans, a couple hershey kisses, or a 20 or so chocolate chips).

I want to lose 1-2 lbs per week to get to the bottom of my goal range, which is 115-120.

    They could relabel them and charge double.

    I don't own any horses, but I take riding lessons weekly. I love horses! I wish I had my own and could ride daily. Maybe someday.

    I'm a horse lover too! Feel free to add me. I'm trying to get to 110-112 lbs and am at 120 now. I only wish it was warm enough to be able to ride as much as you do!

    Carry and polish your saddles
    Groom your four legged friends a little extra each day
    bathe them
    muck the stalls extra good...
    Take them for a walk/run instead of a ride
    And concentrate a little bit more on your posture and
    how tight you can keep your legs
    (heels down and toes to the nose can be pushed a bit further right!?)

    Oh how I miss that life!!!!!!!!!!!
    Jealous am I? YUP!! One day I'll have my OWN hooved beauties!

    Me! We have 11 right now and can't imagine life without them. My horses are the main reason I started this journey. Add me, I've been here since April and try to log in everyday when we are not off riding.
