  • :) LOL! Loving this post! I think back to a "riddle" my mother once asked me "which weighs more a ton of feathers or ton of lead?" a ton is a ton is a ton the true question is which takes up more space!

  • were you wearing clothes when you weighed in at home? shoes? how about at the rec? Also if you weigh in before breakfast and then after breakfast you will see a weight difference.

  • I had to smile a bit when I read this I completely agree with a little pain is the body getting stronger. A good friend of mine in the Marine corps had a drill instructor who said "pain is weakness leaving the body" There is a good kind of hurt where you KNOW you worked out and it feels good to hurt and then there is the…

  • LOL I can't even conceive of 1800 for a studio... but maybe the studios you're in are super cool and funky. The studios or efficiencies in the area where I live are around 350/month heat water and garbage included. However now I suppose you'll all be lol-ing when I tell you I currently live in Fargo, ND. Amazing what…

You can totally handle it in a classy manner without…

  • I give in to the cravings too but like you I'm finding they don't taste as good as I remember AND they are very rarely worth the amount of calories. I used to LOVE a Mt Dew at least once a day and now I take a sip of my hubby's and I'm good 170 calories for a drink totally NOT worth 20 min on the elliptical (unless I've…
