  • Having the same experience! I've found that it's best for me to allow myself "bad" food sometimes, but just have really small portions of it. I know fitness/health nuts will judge that, but it's really the only thing that works for me. Everything in moderation. I think it gets easier, though! Healthy eating will be a habit…

  • Please feel free to friend me if you'd like! I've also struggled with motivation - I lost weight for my wedding and promptly gained every single pound back within six months. We can cheer each other on!

A combination of cardio and strength exercises will help you gain muscle mass and lose fat, too!

  • You can do it! There are a lot of ways to still enjoy without adding too many calories. Raspberry vodka with seltzer (not club soda) and calorie-free concentrated lemonade (that liquid stuff you squirt in your drink) is amazing, and only about 70 calories! Cutting back on booze was one of my biggest issues when I first…
