  • Rainbowrabbit - yes, I'm going to start lifting weights again. I used to lift more a couple of years ago when I lost 60lbs and did see success (that's when I dropped to 148). When you go in the red, take a look at what "empty calories" you could have cut out that day e.g. that soda, glass of wine, extra slice of pizza if…
  • IronPlayGround - I agree with you on adding weights to my routine. I thought the bodyweight exercises we do in bootcamp would help, but heavier weights are the way to go to your point. Would you recommend adding weights 1-2x/week? Jacksonpt - you are right. I need to stop comparing myself!

  • I am fortunate to have a husband that is very supportive. We usually use Google calendar to schedule our weekend "me" and "couple" time. We have a nice balance of doing our own thing and finding couple time. A shared calendar could be helpful. Your husband might need the weekend to zone out so you should give him that…
  • Agree - the point is to cut back not "cut out." The challenging part is the application of doing so. Need to build up my will power especially during stressful situations or after a bad day at work.
  • You look amazing - congrats! Inspiration for me - I'm trying to get back on track by losing 20lbs that have crept up on me in the last 2 years since my 60lb plus weight loss.
