  • I made a delicious spinach and artichoke pasta bake for dinner last night. Decided to start with 2/3 of a serving instead of a whole serving. I noticed that I was satisfied with that serving (YAY!), and then when I finished, I realized I had forgotten to put the neufchatel into the sauce, and it was still really good!

  • On the weekends, I walk for exercise and work in running intervals. I've been trying to increase the length of time I run. I've been watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and this quote from the show helps me run for just a little bit longer: "A person can stand just about anything for 10 seconds, then you just start on…

  • One of mine is coming back at the end of the month - Hi-C Ecto Cooler. Soooo many lunch box, field trip, and after school memories! Just thinking about having a taste again puts a smile on my face!

  • I fit easily into a pair of denim shorts that were just a bit too tight in the waist last summer. The compression shorts I run in are too loose and need to be replaced. My wedding band is loose. No double chin in my passport photos (even though I look like a zombie anyway lol). I really need to focus on some NSV, because…

  • I honestly have more fun in my 30s than I did in my 20s. I guess because I now have a regular schedule with vacation days, higher income, and a place of my own. It's kind of why I started my weight loss journey - being in my 30s isn't nearly as boring as I thought it would be when I was younger, and I want to be fit to…

  • Me too! I did great through January and February, but between my regular fitness classes being cancelled over spring break, travelling for work, and celebrating St. Paddy's with friends, my routine has tanked. Even today, I was planning to do my regular Aqua Zumba class and now I have an event to attend after work and will…

  • I'm the same - I'm 5'7'', lost about 20 lbs so far and I've only lost an inch around my waist and hips. But, as Jessica said, I have noticed that my face is leaner and I have lost my double chin, and my wedding ring is also looser.

  • I've only lost about 20 lbs and an inch off of my waist so far, but I've noticed that I've lost my double chin and my wedding band is looser. :D

  • Yesterday I did my fastest mile - 14 minutes! Even when I was in my teens and much thinner, I usually had a 24 minute mile.

  • I'm not crazy about Easter candy - I used to love the little coconut nests with jelly beans inside, but they are crappy and cheap now. I'm making Italian Easter bread and a Southern Living buttermilk carrot cake that I tried around Christmas time, and I can't wait to have some :p

  • I've been losing and I don't weigh my food. I don't even measure usually TBH unless I am cooking, most of the time I just eyeball it. I've been cooking for about 20 years and I have a very good idea of what a tablespoon or cup measures out to. It also helps because I eat out a lot, and unless it's a chain restaurant with…

  • Very inspiring and gorgeous at all weights! I am trying to get to 190 from 290, currently at 269. This really gives me some hope that I can do it!

  • I spend about $75 a week on groceries for me and my husband. However, we also spend about $50-$70 on restaurants every weekend, and have dinner with family every other weekend.

  • That reminds me! I used to love walking and playing with dogs for the local animal shelter. I got exercise, but because helping out the dogs was meaningful to me, it didn't feel like a waste of time. The shelter where I live now is only open 9-5 M-F though. :-1:

  • Have you ever tried the Zombies, Run app? That gets you running as if someone is chasing you. :D I love playing racquetball with my husband and with my brother because it doesn't feel like I'm grinding away calories. I'm always like, "It's only been an hour!?!" If I could think of more ways to incorporate fun and…
