Congrats to you for quitting smoking. I have to say though that nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, spray, e-cigs, pills, and potions didn't work for me. I smoked for over 20 years and tried SEVERAL times but nothing worked long term. I downloaded an app Cessation Nation and set up my quit date and FAILED to quit once again…

My journey has no ideal weight but at my healthiest (smallest) I was a size & 135 lbs granted I was super lean from all the strength and conditioning classes I took trying to mingle with the jocks as well as being very active. I am 5'5 and would love nothing more than to reach 140-150 but honestly I really just want to…

That's AWESOME!!! Way to go doesn't it feel great?!

LOL.... I paid for an ENTIRE YEAR family membership once and I was the ONLY one who used it approx 2 out of the 12 months.... biggest financial waste I've made! I told myself 4 years ago that I would never pay for another membership unless I made the commitment to myself to go. My lifestyle/fitness anniversary is in a few…

My employee handbook says "We want to meet our customers expectations in terms of the Dealership's image and style. Thus, for our employees who have contact with our customers, we limit the types of tattoos and piercings that may be visible to the customer. No employee may make visible a tattoo that might be offensive to…

IF I go to McD's I get either a side salad or a happy meal and ask for fries with no salt they still have salt just not as much as if they were drowning in a sea of salt. I don't have high blood pressure thankfully but I'm sure I would if I ate there regularly.

Ahh "sweets" including but not limited to baked, processed, or frozen goodies except my protien bars, shakes, and yogurt. I've been really bad lately and could use a swift kick in the pants to get back on track. Gave up all my other bad vices drinking, smoking, fried foods and it'll be a cold day in hell before I give up…

Fat Tuesday can't come fast enough! I'm dying for a Hurricane (or few) and some of Chef Henry's cajun cookin' =) http://www.chefhenrys.com/ai1ec_event/mardi-gras-2/?instance_id=3196

I whole heartedly agree to ALL of the above and KUDDOS to your mom.

If the parents share the child rearing & financial responsibilities 50/50 then no support should be paid or expected to be paid HOWEVER the child should not be forced to suffer because the NON- custodial parent is not involved in their life financially or physically. I have raised my son ALONE his entire life with no help…

Dress however you feel comfortable. I personally love denim and wish I could wear jeans everyday but I can't which is why I only have 2 pairs that fit properly and 2 that are now loose in the caboose ;) I agree with other posters it's possible that you just haven't found the right cut, style, and size for your body.

With limited selections there are things that you can eat at McD's or Taco Bell just look up the nutrition guides on each site to see what fits into your dietary needs/ restrictions. I have the same problem with my son except he's just super picky and I'm trying to eat healthier "on the go". Subway is my favorite but my…

I saw a few comments along the way that suggested it, but go for the spinach it's better for you anyway. Any sub can be created into a salad instead of a sub and you can get it with spinach instead of lettuce. I would double check Subway.com for carb info on the flatbread. I don't have any special dietary needs or…

I've never actually been stuck for more than a few weeks unless you count the last 15 yrs before I made a lifestyle change. Drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and eat a WELL balanced meal. Remeber to stay focused, change up your routine & intensity to get your body out of a rut, and most important weight is not the…

One of the gyms that offers a 7 day pass also offers a 30 day trial membership for $8.95 and I would be willing to pay for the access. I don't want to be dishonest but I also can't see spending $35 I'd rather use my SPF 100 and go for a run.

On the rare occassion that I get to do morning workouts I feel FABULOUS for getting it done. Usually it's only my days off that I can do mornings but I know regardless I have to hold myself accountable. The motivation or gratification I have is the sweat stained sports bra & shirt once I'm finished that hangs off my…

#3 Way too funny!!!!

I would suggest deleting the friends who are just weighing you down. I personally have very supportive friends. Sometimes it can really be too much but I won't complain because they are doing exactly what I want them to. Not because I made them feel pity on me but because they genuinely want me to succeed just I want them…

I'm limited on time during weekdays so my go to is raisen date walnut oatmeal and I add a 1/2 T of brown flaxseed, sliced almonds, and a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.

The sky is the limit for grilling. I personally LOVE shrimp or chicken kabobs with really any kind of firm veggies (yellow squash, onion, bell pepper, baby portabella mushrooms, etc) You can create your own marinate depending on what "flavor" your going for with fresh or dried herbs and spices. I only marinate the meats…

I don't know what size of suit you need but my favorite supportive swimsuit I got from Junonia.com, of course they are made for full figured plus size (XL- 6X). Hope this helps a little bit.

My favorite smoothie is my peanut butter banana after workout smoothie. 1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop protien powder, 2 bananas (after I've frozen them), 2 T reduced fat peanut butter, a little bit of honey and cinnamon. Really smoothies can be very simple you just have to play with them. My sister in law makes one with…

You are truly a beautiful woman and many people probably did skip to the pictures ;) I know what you meant by taking less pictures of yourself. If I take any pics of myself they are ALL head shots I refuse to have a full body picture taken. What I see in the mirror conflicts with the imagine in the picture. Thank you for…

As a single parent I've put my sons needs and demands before my own health. I brushed it off because that's part of being a parent, but I have neglected myself in the process. I've made several attempts to get healthy and have made many excuses to stop. I believe my "A-Ha" moment finally came after my cousin had a major…

Thank you for sharing!
