Hi everyone! I am Sheena and I am from Westville NY. I am a mother to an adorable little 2 year old girl named Sophia. She is my pride and joy. I downloaded my fitness pal and joined this group because I have the desire to lose weight. I have been successful before but something would happen to throw me off the bandwagon…

Welcome! I know where Greece is. Man I miss it down there...

It was pretty cool to lose those 2 pounds. I completely thought it would have been the opposite. Turbo Jam is essentially kick boxing. It is really fun. MereSanity...I know how you feel. I used to look at the scale a lot and it got me depressed. I now focus on how my clothes feel. That is a good indicator that something is…

Well before my trip I was doing turbo jam...and walking with my dog. I am still doing the walking...but I do not have any motivation to do turbo jam at the moment....but it is fun and easy to do. Just need to get my butt in gear and get going again.

Thanks everyone. Your encouragement really helps!!

Oh...i forgot to mention that this is only my second week doing TurboJam. Maybe I am gaining muscle.

Thanks everyone. Maybe I do rely on the scale way too much. My body...even though it is sore...at least my abs are...is looking and feeling much better. My stomach does not stick out as much and when I stand up straight...I cannot see my belly past my boobs if that makes any sense lol. My pants and shirts are looser…

Thanks everyone for your wonderful advice. My hubby and I are planning on bringing a cooler with us. I think all the hotels we are staying at do have fridges too....so that will help. I will just have to make sure that we pack plenty of fruits, nuts and stuff to make sandwiches. That might help lower the cost too.

That is good advice. I am not 100% sure of the kinds of restaurants there are along the way. What restaurants do you have on your list? I know subway is a good one....but we might not encounter one every time I want to eat.

I think that diet soda is ok in moderation. I have tried to cut out soda but my hubby is always bringing some kind of soda in the house. UGH. I recently been hooked on the 5 calorie to go things that you can put into your water to flavor it. I find myself drinking more "water" that way.

I completely understand! Even though my hubby does not say things like that he still likes to make food that is high in calories which definitely does not help me. I am trying to lose weight here...not gain. Common now. He says he likes me just the way I am but I feel like crap. I lost 15 pounds before we got married and I…

Just remember hun that muscle weighs more than fat. Even though you do not see much difference in the scale....you are still losing weight and inches. I do see a little bit of a difference in your pictures but its still early yet. I think you will be fine by august.

I am a cashier/customer service representative for a local drug store. I am also a grad student majoring in Mental Health Counseling. I hope to be a counselor for children and families. I definitely do not want to work retail for the rest of my life...not for me.

I had a compression fracture in the L2 vertebrae in 2010. I feel your pain. I hope it feels better.

1) I am an only child...sometimes I wish I had a sibling because I was bored at times. 2) I have been married for 3 years but been with the same guy for 13 years (since I was 16). 3) I am originally from Rochester NY but I now live in the Adirondacks. 4) I really suck at housekeeping....but i try. 5) I am doing grad school…

Awesome! I am trying to remember where Lyell & Otis are.....its been a while.

Hi!! I am originally from the Rochester area but moved to the Adirondacks (Westville NY, which is near the quebec canada border). I still consider myself a Rochesterian at heart though. I used to live in the city along Dewey Ave (Augustine Street, #7 school area) Feel free to add me!!

You can add me to your group of friends. I know what you mean about Diabetes! My grandmother passed away from complications from Diabetes when I was 9 years old. My mom has diabetes and she recently went from taking a pill for it to giving herself a shot 4 times a day. That is scary. I lost 15 pounds before I got married 3…

You can add me!! I am looking for friends as well.
