Absolutely I reward myself with non-food rewards! I bought a pair of diamond studs and 25 pounds loss. At 45 loss I treated myself to a full body massage. At 55 lost, buying a new Coach purse. Sure am!

Pretty awesome!

I'm going to Zumba 2nite... Will just layer up, hang around for a bit to continue to wipe the sweat.. But I'm going!

Smucker Apricot Preserves low sugar

If I want I will a cheat meal, but with that meal I will stay within my calories.

Yeah I don't get it either, I had someone tell me they are shopping based on my food log and that was so cool to me.

I mean really what you eat is your business and I hope that no one is out there to…

Thanks for this!!! It is causing unnecessary stress!!

Would like to know this too!

I just started 30DS on the 1st, the cardio portion was fine, its the strength portion that I struggle with like push ups and lunges. My goal is to get the form right so the exercise is effective. Just keep going your endurance will get better over time!

Very inspiring! Interested to know what pounds of weights do you use?

Hey, much success on your journey! Take it one day at a time!

Banana, 1/2 of Peanut butter & jelly sandwich. I workout early morning but I need a little something to get me through!

Yes I still feel fat even though everyone keeps calling me skinny and I'm far from it!!!
