  • There are many at-home programs that give amazing results as long as you're willing to put in the work. I'm a military wife living overseas with 3 kids, so needless to say I don't get the opportunity to get to the gym often. All of my workouts are done at home super early in the morning before the kids get up (my husband…

  • People saying, "But you don't NEED to workout!" when you're already in shape. Um.... how the hell do you think I GOT in shape?? It wasn't magic, it was HARD WORK! I wake up at 4:30 every morning and bust my *kitten*. And just because I say "no" to pizza and soda doesn't mean I think I'm fat! It means I'm trying to eat…

  • If you're not eating your BMR calories, you're technically sending your body into starvation mode. Those are the absolute MINIMUM number of calories needed to keep your body functioning optimally before adding in any additional energy needed for exercise. 1000-1100 calories is way too low.

  • Hey Danielle! I'm a mom of 3-- 5yrs, 2 yrs, and a 3 week old. We eat TONS of chicken in our house with the occasional red meat here and there (though I'm not a huge fan, so I tend to stick with chicken, turkey, tuna, etc). If you haven't yet, check out skinnytaste.com. It's a great site for healthy meals!

  • Hey Dewi! Remember, the first couple weeks are always the hardest. After that, it begins to become a habit-- this goes for exercise as well as your eating habits.

  • Those flood of emotions are normal, you just have to stick with it. Feeling proud and powerful will come the more changes you begin to see-- it just takes time to get there! Do this for YOU, not for anyone else. Exercise may remind you of how unloved you felt by HIM, but it should show you how much YOU love yourself by…
