Love me some hockey. unfortunately, living in Ohio we are the blackout zone for the red wings. Husband is a weirdo and likes the Leafs, even though he grew up outside Detroit. We both love the Toledo Walleye ECHL team and go pretty frequently. Had the pleasure of going to the Winter Classic in 2014 at UofM to see them play…

It is really nice to have an office that works together and they are being supportive and not catty. Makes it more fun and less anxiety filled.

We ended up traveling last week and I didn't get to start. Did Day 1 Week 1 yesterday and it felt so good. But lord it hurts this morning. The girls in my office also decided to do a biggest loser style challenge because one is in a wedding, one is getting married, and I'm trying to get preggers, so off we go! We are also…

Happens to me every time. If your weigh in day falls on that point in your cycle it is most likely normal. Used to frustrate me, but in speaking with my doctor, she assured me it was normal to gain up to 3lbs of water weight. I tend to gain it at the end of my cycle.

Great job! You look great and sound like you feel happy as well. Keep it up!

No they do not

NSV of the day? I purged all of the junk food from my house, all left over Christmas cookies still hanging around, the gummy bears that were a stocking stuffer at my mother in law, and a snickers bar. All of it ended up in the trash. I made cucumber salad for lunch for the next couple days, fresh salsa for topping my eggs…

Offer to do the next trip to the grocery store and that way you can pick up healthier options?

Starting it December 28th. We don't go big for New Year's and I don't want to wait the extra week. I'm finally getting over my 3rd chest cold in as many months that has been wiping me out. I'm currently at the heaviest I have ever been and feel miserable.

I hope you find a place where you can be happy and depending on your insurance, you might be able to get the skin removal surgery covered. At least partially. Good luck with the surgery and I hope you and your dad have a speedy recovery.

way to go! that is so awesome!

Wonderful job!

Way to go!

positive thoughts on the way

I did Billy Blanks boot camp for a long time and then I moved to Jillian Michaels. i like the shorter intense workouts. I have not patience with myself longer than 30-40 minutes. I do longer cardio days where I will take an hour long brisk walk or spend half an hour on an elliptical at the gym, but JMBR I bought it, did it…

117 today, but my longest is well over 200. I was nearly to 300 back in April, but when my father in law died I missed a day and then when my grandfather passed 3 weeks later I lost another day. Took me a while to get back in the swing, but I'm back and not talking about it much. Just lying low.

You can do it! Stay positive!

You look amazing! You also look happier as each picture progressed. I hope you keep that feeling and good luck on those last 23lbs. You got this!

Amazing!!! So motivational!

take a break from counting and logging the calories. I had to when I got obsessive about my calories. It wasn't healthy anymore. I am back to logging consistently, but I don't remember to log every single scrap. Also, reduce don't elminate a food group. that is what causes the binges. (been there and done that too) You…

totally normal. Means you are working them hard. I am always a little shakey right after an intense workout. Just keep drinking water and stretch really well.

It is true, you really can't win either way. I think because it was just such a shock after seeing her in the healthy athletic spot she was in before the finale that got people. I look not just at the trainers in the pictures, but her fellow contestants behind them. They look scared too. Remember the camera adds ten…

Hi Gonzo, When I went to see my doctor about losing weight, they sent me to a nutirionist and it was covered by insurance (if this is an option for you.) I highly recommend that. It was all about not cutting anything out entirely, just making smarter decisions with what I was eating. Also, balance. If for example I have a…

Splitting the dark chocolate is sad but the inches lost is awesome!

Amazing job! Keep up the great work!!!

Way to go!!!
