I like it because it splits up my day. If I don't work out I'm ready for a nap come 1pm. If I do workout (granted I typically drink a preworkout) then I am energized and get more work done in the afternoon. I have a bit of flexibility on time though so I can take an hour class and still change clothes and drive to/from…

I love Lane Bryant's leggings. I recommend against the 'yoga' style ones if you have issue with chafing. The tighter fit of the leggings really make a difference for me when on the tredmill. I look somewhat awful in them but just make sure the shirt I wear covers my bottom. They also have a wide waistband that doesn't roll…

This is something I JUST realized the other day that I do. I've ruined 3 days in a row thinking that I screwed up I'll start over tomorow and then constantly eat the rest of the day. I realized the cycle had to end otherwise I'll be adding another failure to my list. Woke up the other morning, got back into the mindset of…

You CAN do it. If you fall off one day, don't use that as an excuse to keep falling... Get right back where you left off. We believe in you. You should too :)

I made this tonight for dinner. My husband and I loved it! My kid not so much but he is picky about everything. I will for sure make this again soon.

Hello! I am also new here and so far I think it is fantastic. Good for you in reaching out for a support system when you are away from family. It's hard to realize how important it is sometimes. Good luck to you =)

Great first step in coming here. Don't feel overwhelmed and don't try to push too hard too fast. You may have to do things a little differently than you'd like but you CAN do this. Good luck =)

Good for you! Great first step. I just started today as well and already getting more excited and motivated. Good luck to you =)

I just started today as well. At least we are off on the right foot! Good luck to you :)

Grew up in san diego, went to college in LA. Now live in north carolina. Love me some Cali and miss it :(

Great decision in coming here. Nothing is worse than feeling alone and you are anything but alone. We have the same struggles whether losing 20lbs or 120. Just remember you are never lost in your journey. If you get sidetracked, just start right back on the trail! Good luck to you. You CAN do this.

Hello! Good for you on making this decision for yourself. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks guys. :) One thing I never realized till I was in the situation was how much STRESS can take a toll on your body. I needed to let go of it to get to where I am now. Now to get my body under less stress of the weight too! I spent my morning cleaning (productive AND good movement) and planning to walk this evening. I…

Hi, I'm new myself and starting with you. My husband was deployed right after our son was born (he is 5 now). I lived across the country from family and friends so I had no support either. It is hard. Remember there are resources to help you if you live near base. Use them. I know not all bases are the same but ours does…
