  • Either purchase or see if your library has "Womens Guide to Muscle & Strength" by Irene Lewis McCormick. I loved it and bought it from Amazon for around $13.00 Step by step guide for beginners through advanced w/ great pictures showing you exactly what to do. I have been loving the program.
  • You don't need to AFFORD anything. Walk girl, walk. Eat like a cow all you want, just DO NOT touch...chips, sodas, sugar, fat, take-out food. Produce is high, yes, but not skinless, boneless chicken ($2.79/#). Grill or bake the chicken and buy a bag of brown rice. Now those things you CAN do!!! :smile:
  • YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!!
  • For me it's all about being fit. I use to run around w/ the children all of the time, but for the last 8 years have had a desk job. It made me lethargic! So tired all of the time.

  • You're right, Hunger Games & City of Thieves were excellent. The "other" bests would be: Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, DaVinci Code, Outlander, Handmaid's Tale, the Forgotten Garden.....I could go on and on:)
  • Growing up poor like I did, you learn what is important and what isn't. A roof over your head and food on the table is having monumental success. No matter how poor I was, I always had money in the savings, which was there for emergencies. I learned to purchase only things I needed, and only if I had the cash to do so. I…
  • I have realized that I'm not getting past a certain point because of the amount of fat that I take in. Therefore, I am having to give up on my (precious) ranch dressing when I get a turkey sub :( as well as not mound on sour cream and butter on many of my favorite foods. I lost 2 pounds immediately:)
