I'd like to visit all 50 states. (Currently on #35.) Take a month long vacation visiting as many national parks in the southwest, west, northwest, and midwest that I can!

Gosh, this is a life battle isn't it?? I took a hiatus myself, but more like a year's worth. I was working out occasionally, but wasn't really committed to eating right or exercising consistently.

I've dealt with changing my weight, but never with the mind set that comes with being a food addict. That is where I need to work on it next. I just returned from a conference and was very…

Muscle matters too. It weighs more than fat. More importantly though, what are you doing now to help yourself regain focus and keep up the hard work? What are you celebrating about your progress? "By celebrating what's right with the world (or ourselves), we find the energy to fix what's wrong." ~ DeWitt Jones. Parenthesis…

I'll do this too. I have a million excuses not to do this.... full-time job, grad school, family.... but I need to do this for me. Because all those other things will get increasingly harder if I don't. I've been on this rollercoaster before. I was 310 at my highest and got down to 150 for my wedding four years ago. I was…
