I think the choices I make when I do splurge are definitely affecting my water retention—for sure!! I try to limit myself even if I do splurge, but I definitely don't feel as lean and clean when I do splurge. I think upping my calories will help—I've noticed a few times I get headaches, feel really clumsy, and can't…

No need to be embarrassed... it's happened to ALL of us!! :) You can do it!

I was wondering about that—maybe I'm not eating ENOUGH calories?

I feel like when I start giving in to the junk food, that is what I start craving even MORE—even if it is just one time eating out, it's hard to not think about burgers, ice cream, chips, fries... BUT it has to stop somewhere, and it takes a huge amount of willpower to just deny yourself that ONE time so you can get back…

It is so NOT okay that he isn't being supportive.... but just thought, maybe it is coming from his own insecurities about where he is at? People who are struggling themselves sometimes hide behind being cruel to those they are jealous of—you are having more willpower, strength, courage, and seeing many changes that maybe…

I personally do Zumba or strength training classes as much as possible, because I too have fitness ADD and have a hard time knowing what to do! Classes are great because you get some social atmosphere, motivation, and direction! :)

I did both of the Pilates Bootcamp on Livestrong.com videos yesterday—abs and total body. Really great workout! I also did Gangnam Style on Sunday. Awesome!

I'm really bad at working out in the morning—I'm just so lethargic at that point, I can barely push myself to get my heart rate up. So, I go after work—if I want to get it out of the way, I'll pack my clothes and go straight to the gym from work. That seems to work pretty well, but my gym isn't that crowded :) In the…

Usually when you join a gym, they'll give you one or two free intro sessions with a personal trainer, who will show you some of the machines and get you started with a workout plan. They may even do a physical assessment. Have you checked to see if your gym offers that? If not, it might be work the $50 or so to do one…

I've been trying to cut back on sugar, too. Not because they are more important than the calories, though—I don't think that is true. I just want to have a healthy balance of sugar! I'm also cutting back on calories, but I'm focusing on ADDING more veggies into my diet! I think the mindset of adding more of something while…

I try to plan meals at the beginning of the week—but it IS hard!! I like to use Pinterest... I pin recipes during the week, and then I'll do a quick inventory of my kitchen and pantry to see what I have. Then I'll browse what I've pinned and pick out the things that work with what I already have! I'll write them down on a…

This is my favorite soup for the fall: http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2011/03/01/spinach-tomato-orzo-soup/ Spinach Tomato and Orzo soup! It works great in the crockpot, but be sure to add the Orzo during the last hour or else it will soak up ALL of the water. It is also really quick if you're just whipping it up at…
