Excellent point. Thanks for bringing it up! Congrats on the 2 lbs lost! :smile:

My children remember waking up to me exercising to DVDs in the living room several times a week. Was in much better shape in those days (went from PT to FT when they got older). All of these suggestions are great. I agree - 'how bad do you want it?' Good luck! :smile:

Different clothing sizes make me crazy. I hate it when a certain line runs small. It's them, not you! Fabulous weight loss- you look great, my friend!

That's AWESOME!

First of all, Thanks for the friend request! You're doing great! Love your pic with the little one. :smile: A couple of suggestions: On water intake. I started drinking water with meals, even if I have something else to drink, like milk or tea. I feel full a lot faster. And yes, I count it towards my water intake. Others…

You GO, girl! What a way to talk yourself into healthy options. Maybe a protein snack later this afternoon -i.e. cheese stick, yogurt.... Have a GREAT day! Stay cool....
