U said it!!!!

Turning 30 did it for me. I want to live my life with joy and purpose. I want to teach my children and everyone around me what living is really about. If u don't have your health, who do u blame? If u r fat, who do u blame? If your children don't want to run or eat food that is good for them, who do u blame? I will try to…

I would love to join your group- I could use the motivation too:) I started a c25k in January, and will be running my very first race ever (5k) in 3 weeks!!!! I'm very excited, but nervous too. My sister has always been the runner. I have been the chubby one. Lol. Anyway, I'm trying to appreciate the strength of my body,…

I just ordered my first jar! I can't wait!!!!!!!

I also have this issue. A few things others have mentioned have worked for me, although I wish I could just keep the junk out of the house:) My fav late night snack is Graham crackers with peanut butter. Not really "junk" but it is something I start eating & just can't quit. Lol. Anyway, what works the best for me is to…

They aren't terrible. They are actually pretty good if prepared correctly. Use sauce, lots of sauce!!!!

Thank you for sharing this info:) These are a lit of the issues I have just recently started processing in my life. I'm making progress in my life, but I sometimes still stumble. I will do as the author suggests, and also love the part of me that struggles. Thank you!!!

Thank you for the wonderful message! This is just what I needed to read right now. I've been arguing with myself about losing 20 more pounds, cutting calories, increasing time spent working out. I'm in my goal jeans and should be satisfied with that. I'm training for a 5k and am making great progress. I'm mixing up my…

I have been substituting these in for my meals when I make my family pasta. There are a lot of different shapes and sizes. I recommend either the angel hair or orzo shapes. I have had a few recipes that have tasted just as good as real pasta:) I think red sauces work just fine. Please don't try them as a pasta salad…

I don't eat bread often, however my children love sandwiches & wraps. Every now & then I have a craving for toast or A sandwich. I have tried lots of " healthy" breads. What satisfies me & does the least amount of damage to my diet is healthy life low calorie bread. 35 calories per slice. Not healthy, per se. But it works…

I'm 31. A busy mom who would love to be a heathy role model for my two kids. I have tried every diet and have even starved myself thin, but this time I really want to do it right and find a weight I am comfortable at for the rest of my life. I don't want my 5 year old daughter having body issues because of me. I don't want…

You might check with a few high schools in your area. Some of them have running tracks that are open to the public during certain times. Just a thought:)

I'm not sure what the site promotes, but 1 serving of protein is 3 oz. You can weight it on a kitchen scale or eyeball it ( about the size of a deck of cards, your cell phone, or the palm of your hand). You should probably measure it the first few times, just so you know what it looks like. Most servings in restaurants are…
