    Welcome to the new recruits hope your all feeling great this week.

    How far have you come with your weekly mini goals?

    I'm still working on mine to begin exercising again so for now I'm concentrating on nutrition testing the water not inputting and seeing how I'm doing, so far not bad.

    Have a super day!

    So far so good. Had a great workout today. My mini goal this week is to focus on my nutrition and exercise at least 5 times this week. So far, I exercised 3/4 days. woohoo. Hope everyone is staying focused on that sexy bikini body! If anyone needs support; please add me as a friend! I'd appreciate your support as well.

    Happy Hump Day!

    Hey ladies, just wanted to give a quick update

    I'm DOWN 1.4 lbs THIS WEEK !

    I'm supper excited and feeling encouraged, with nursing, wasn't for sure if I was eating enough, or just doing this thing right, but it seems that I am !!!

    I was on the scale daily this week and I was tipping it !!

    I finally got on it this morning and got a reading !!! This is after getting 4 hours of sleep in a row, and an extra 2 later !!!!

    My body need SLEEP in order to release the weight ... I"m gonna try and sleep when the baby is sleeping more often. I'm happy she is starting to give me a stretch of sleep at night now, I'll take those 4 hours in a row!

    1. Not to be in pain.

    Wow, I know where you are coming from. Just finished a series of 5 injections. Stopping the pain through weight loss (and not meds)is one of my major goals!

    Hi Ladies,

    this is so much fun. I am in. I started this journey in May last year and I think i need a reset of my goals and plan.

    SW:163lbs
    CW: 145lbs
    GW: 140lbs

    a) Making exercise a priority. 5 workouts per week.
    b) Focus more on healthy whole foods and less on processed foods
    c) Practice regular yoga and meditation
