We lost our beloved Sambuca on April 7 to cancer. She was loud, vocal and always under our feet. Needless to say the house was too quiet (even with 2 kids, 3 cats and another dog (who also showed signs of missing her dear friend) so April 24 we rescued a pup who is now named Ouzo. For those that are not familiar Sambuca…

You look GREAT! Good Job!

I don't own one but the elliptical is my preferred machine at the gym, it's easier on your knees or in my case my foot. It does take a while to build up the endurance to go extended amounts of time but definitely worth it.

You're doing great! Don't let reality TV discourage you, the contestants on The Biggest Loser exercise all day every day and are on a very restricted diet...I heard some where they were only allowed 800 calories a day (I could be wrong though). Any loss is a good loss and is showing you are doing something right. Be proud…

I was on the shot for about 7 years and in that time I gained about 75 lbs which I have been unable to shed. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless it's their only option. I know results vary from person to person and some don't experience the weight gain but from personal experiences many do. Not to mention if you want…

You look amazing!! Great inspiration.

Hello, my doctor told me about this site and Weight Watchers, i chose this site. I have 2 kids as well and about the same amount to lose, right now it seems like a long way to go but I will remember your quote "Determined mother of 2... I will fight the flab !" and you do the same.

Hi Kelly, I call myself a bored eater...I work in an office setting so it's hard to not snack while working unless I'm really super busy which is not often. Maybe post your food diary on here, I noticed some do that so it might help you be that poster child again. Feel free to add me since I definitely can use inspiration…

My husband is for the most part supportive. He's not much of a junk food person either so if there's junk food in the house it's because of me, which has become less and less often. He loves me the way I am but would love to see me at a healthier weight as well. I can't stand exercising at home with an audience though so I…
