  • Feeling good about how you look can be a huge motivator. You become more confident, you want to try new things...you want to wear that killer black dress to get a few looks...it's all good. Focus on whatever works for you. :)
  • I've decided I'm only going to post numbers once a month, so my next check in will be on October 23 and finally on November 20. Because of the water retention issues I have, once a week will not be an accurate reflection of the progress I am actually making. Once a month will give me the opportunity to weigh myself over…

  • I have 2 goals for the upcoming week: 1) I am starting a new exercise program next week, in addition to what I currently do, so my goal around that will be to complete all planned workouts. They are already scheduled in my phone, so they will come up as reminders every day. And I bought new workout gear to keep up with the…

  • I'm a little late, but I'm in. I'll post my numbers starting tomorrow.
  • I like the hard boiled eggs too. I like the idea of mixed nuts and Greet yogurt, but I just can't get into them. (I try them again once in a while, just to see if my feelings change...ha ha!) I usually gravitate towards cheese and chicken breast for snacks (with a fruit or veggie). I usually buy pre-cut/packaged. I know it…
  • Afternoon snacking took a while for me to get a handle on. I played around with the balance of proteins and carbs that I had for lunch and almost doubled the number of calories in my healthy snack I had in the afternoon. If I start to get cravings now, I just assess how much water I drank. Usually I am running…
  • At any event I end up going to, I am usually faced with a table of food/goodies. The first thing I do is look everything over. Then I decide what I like vs. what I love. I could like everything on the table, but to take a bit of everything would be disastrous. So, I prioritize and take only what I love. (It usually comes…
  • Regina :-) Always looking for new friends...send me a request.
  • I'm looking for new friends. I am on daily. I am looking for motivation and looking to motivate. The more the merrier. I have learned a lot over the years and very willing to help any way I can.
  • The lack of feeling hungry is because your metabolism has slowed down. You need food regularly to keep you sustained through the day. Breakfast is your kick start to your metabolism and your regular eating keeps it going. At one point in my life, I literally only ate one meal a day, every day. I gained a lot of weight…
  • At 100 pounds overweight, I was a C cup and at 15 pounds overweight I was a C cup. While they did get smaller, they were still the same proportion to the rest of my body.
