Yoga? Hey, why not?
At spin today - where I was dressed as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer mind you - I was grousing that I didn't think I was getting stronger at spin. The trainer suggested I add a yoga class or 2 to my roster - to which I said, why not?

jeans?
I am about ready to break down and cry, here. I had $200 in Macy's gift cards and I went to the mall. They had one pair of size 2 jeans in the ENTIRE store. They were stretchy and too big around the waist. (I hate stretchy jeans. They are always too big around the waist because of the way I am built. I refuse to wear…

Cellulite
Hi ladies, I'm currently dealing with cellulite. I'm thin-ish but not fit, so most of me is fat. I've heard lots of contradicting information- will working out get rid of my cellulite, or dieting, or is it just something I need to learn to love? Have any of you had luck reducing/getting rid of cellulite?

Newby
Hi all I guess it's a relief to see so many in the same boat. I am 5/4", about 135. I use a fitbit to track and get exercise. It helps me to see calories burned and spurns me to not eat any extra without the exercise. I successfully hit 124 in May of this year but have gradually put 10 back on. I am 54 so as they say it…

It's NOT muscle mass in less than a week. My appetite does grow when I work out, but…

So proud of myself!!
I've been on my journey to get healthy for about a year. I don't necessarily need to lose weight, just fat. I found a "before" pic from January and I took one for a friend last week (which became my "after"). I didn't realize how far I've come until I saw both pix side by side.
