  • If you like PB2, they now make it with Grape or Strawberry jelly! I have only been able to find it at Netrition (www.netrition.com)... AMAZING! <3

  • 5'4" SW: 315.7 (in 2014); this round 302.6 CW: 298.6 GW: 200, and then some Feel free to add me.
  • While they may not be so fashionable, I am a huge fan of Lynx Sports Bras... a bit pricey but definitely one of the most comfortable I've found!
  • Kohls has a nice series of plus-size workout wear... on sale this time of year too!
  • Whole Foods Market makes a Tangerine Vinaigrette (2 Tbsp = 35 calories), or a Guava Nectar Vinaigrette (2 Tbsp = 40 calories), both absolutely delicious!
