I love pinterest for ideas on working out, I have a board called 'I'm sexy and I know it' for workouts and motivation and a nutrition one :)

hahaha! love it!

http://monicanelsonfitness.com/blog/meals/quinoa-mac-n-cheese/print/ I haven't tried that recipe yet but it looks awesome and I'm making it for dinner tomorrow night (though I'll be adding some cauliflower and broccoli to it as well) Also, look up recipes for pilaf's, tabouleh, or couscous and just replace the grain with…

I work out extra hard early in the day and try to go to the party with an extra 1k calories, then I don't care what I eat :)

It's absolutely vital. Over the almost seven years my husband and I have been together we've each separately tried to lose weight, work out more, or get healthier but we've failed because we didn't do it together and eventually gave up. For the last 2 1/2 months we've been working together, encouraging eachother and it's…

First, don't try to lose any weight on vacation, set yourself up to maintain that way you can still enjoy yourself. Bring some non-perishable safe snacks just in case there isn't room in the fridge and be mindful of what you eat when you eat out. Also, exercise in your hotel room or get a lot of walking in.

thanks everyone!

Beautiful dress! Way to go!

Reese's peanut butter cups, my husband surprised me with a 4 pack and when I realized how crazy high in calories they are I stuck it in the freezer and ate them over the course of 4 days

I really needed to see that tonight, thank you! Do you mind if I share this on facebook?

I now limit my fast food to 2-3 times a month compared to 1-2 times a week, and I've started using honey as a sweetener, extra virgin olive oil in place of vegetable oil or butter, and I now make…

I like whole almond 100 calorie packs, greek yogurt sweetened with a little bit of honey, fruit, or steamed veggies seasoned with something spicy

It happened to a friend of mine as she walking through the mall. Someone she didn't know got all excited and touched the belly exclaiming, my friend gave her a death glare and said, "Excuse me?" the woman apologized and walked off. I am so glad nothing like that ever happened to me, I don't even really like people I know…

Right now we're all active but it wasn't always that way. For years my husband would try to get me to go on walks with him and I would make excuses, "it's too hot," "it's too cold" "I don't feel well" bla bla bla. I finally started going with him and once we were walking regularly I started getting into strength training…
