Small town of Holton, KS - moved from St. Joseph, MO 2 years ago...

I only have a few close friends - I was never an outgoing person and hated the drama of high school so I stuck with a small group. Now, all of my close friends live at least an hour away and I hardly see or talk to them. I moved to a new town (pop. 3400) almost 2 years ago and I just do not fit in. Everyone here has grown…

I completely agree! He still tells me I'm beautiful every day, but I don't believe him most days. I used to be embarrassed when I would try on clothes and ask if he liked it and he would be honest with me - but I realized this is why I love him, he wants to help me feel as beautiful as he thinks I am. I am no longer…

The first time I lost a bunch of weight (3 years ago), my husband walked out on me and my then 4 month old son. He left me for a tall, skinny blonde with no bags under her eyes. I wanted to be found attractive by someone... so your reason for losing weight is not shallow. It's honest and I'm sure it's happened to all of us…

Family pictures in September embarrassed me. I cried harder with each outfit I tried on and couldn't find anything comfortable enough to wear that didn't make my stomach look huge. Between Sept and Dec, I gained another 15 lbs and could no longer fit into the 3 pairs of work pants that I own. Along with those 15 lbs came…

I am a chocoholic and a cupcake addict... this will cure both for few calories! YAY! Thanks!

Yum! I've been searching for new and different crock pot soups! Thanks!

Maybe this will work?

I have no idea how to post pics (sorry if there were directions previously, too many posts to read all of them!) but here are my tattoos :) Dec 31, 2006 - Tribal butterfly on my lower back - freedom from a controlling ex March 2009 - My son's name in pretty script on my left inner wrist April 2011 - My daughter's name in…

Always looking for healthy recipes! I will have to check out your blog!

I'm 5'4" and 162 lbs at age 25 - I just ended day 3 of 30 Day Shred Level 1... OUCH! Haha but I feel so good!

I just started 30DS and I was wondering how well it worked... that is awesome! Congrats! @phee - 30 Day Shred is a workout dvd by Jillian Michaels available at Walmart for under $10. It's 20 in a day and all you need are hand weight and a mat for hard surfaces.

These all sound really good! Thanks everyone!

I have been tested for Celiacs but it came back negative. My dr told me that even though my test was negative, I could stick have a gluten allergy without being as severe as someone with Celiacs. My Grandmother, Mother and 2 of my aunts have Celiacs. I cut out most of my gluten (I still have a single piece of 45 cal bread…

My in laws own the local DQ - when I need lunch I go there for a grilled chicken wrap with light ranch dressing or bbq sauce

Feel free to add me! I've been on here for a little over 3 weeks (daily) and I've lost 9 lbs - about 31 left to go!

I have a "Healthy Foods" and a "Let's Get Moving" board on my pinterest for ideas to browse :) http://pinterest.com/tspruett

My husband just did a vegan challenge (2 weeks) and he ate a lot of vegetables (veggie soup for many meals), fruits, black bean burgers plus peanut butter and lots of trail mix with nuts and dried fruits.

I love my hair color - I get lots of compliments on my color and most people ask if its fake... I have never died my hair though :) too many compliments to change it! Edit: I also love my determination and strength! My husband is gone a lot for school but I still keep up with the kids, full time job and full time college…

I hate my belly but I love my kids. I hate my thighs but I love my calves. I hate my double chin but I love my hair. I hate my glasses but I love that my husband adores them. I hate my weight but I love that I have the determination to change that!

I used to drink 2-3 32 oz pepsi's a day before I was 20... When I had my first baby and went to lose the weight, I decided the weight had to come off and the pop had to go to do so. I started replacing my pop with a big glass of water and would chug the water until it was gone. I hated the taste of water at first but after…

This made me want to go buy stuff to make these... like now! Lol! Sounds very good!

A couple that my sister and I used to use were both chicken recipes. The first was to crunch up pork rinds and use it as breading (my sister always used bbq flavor) and then bake as normal. The second was to mix parmesan cheese with a dry italian dressing mix packet and coat the chicken then bake as normal. Yummy!

That is awesome!! I want to do this with myself and look that good! You rock!

You look awesome! That is amazing dedication and strength! GOOD JOB and keep up the good work!

Having a list like that is a good idea! The only goal I had set was my final goal of 40 lbs is when I get my new tattoo! I may add on there a new swim suit for my half way goal since my hubby and kids and I are going on vacation in late March :)

We do this in my family too! We use parmesean cheese and a packet of dry italian seasoning/dressing mix. So yummy and very addicting!
