Non Scale Victory! So, aside from pounds, what have you done to improve your life? Fewer desserts, staying away from sweets, less soda? Celebrate the little things!

Bump!! I love how creative you all are with recipes!

Bump! Looks amazing - thanks for sharing!

I'm also looking for motivation. Feel free to add me! We can help each other.

Bump-o!

You only have one body. Be good to it and it will be good to you. Also, life is a journey. Make it as adventurous and joyful as possible!

What a great feeling!! You have motivated me to do better - I just wrote in my food diary that I consumed way too much sugar & need to stay out of the office candy bowl! Congrats & thanks for the motivation!

Bump. Love quinoa and want to find recipes so DH will love it as well!
