Yayyyyyyyyyy! Congrats! I had to laugh because the left side of my closet is also the "hopefully soon" side too.

I am compelled to say something that no one has mentioned yet. SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, please, please in the future say something immediately to the person who is bothering you. You don't have to be confrontational or shrill or make a big scene. Just say firmly and calmly, "Don't ever do that again. I don't…

Planning in advance and sticking to your list are very important. According to the NRDC, "American families throw out approximately 25 percent of the food and beverages they buy. The cost estimate for the average family of four is $1,365 to $2,275 annually." http://www.nrdc.org/food/files/wasted-food-IP.pdf

I was shocked to find out how many calories were in one lousy slice of bread. It is rediculous. I never thought I would give up bread, but I'd rather eat something more filling for those calories. P.S. A great site for calories/nutrient contents is https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/foodapedia.aspx

Just start small. There are several small things you can do that will help. Add them in one at a time and the next thing you know you'll be seeing progress. Lifestyle changes--not diets. Get 7 hours of sleep each night MINIMUM (8 is best). Drink 8 glasses of water each day (2 when you wake, 2 before bed and 1 before each…

Oh boy. That sounds tough. Maybe you can carve out 10 or 15 minutes each day for yourself to just take a walk around the block, meditate, or do a few yoga poses. It should allow you time to calm your mind so you can jump back into the fray with a renewed sense of purpose. Hopefully once this becomes a habit you will be…

Can you give yourself a different type of treat? What is your favorite thing? I love shopping--I don't need to buy anything, I just love wandering around looking at stuff. What about the library or book store? Maybe to to the animal shelter and get some puppy/kitty lovin'.

That is some serious toxic crud. Here is an article from abc http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2011/12/15/flame-retardant-in-your-mountain-dew-yep/

I agree. I also used to love soda. A couple of years ago I couldn't live without diet coke. Now I never touch the stuff. A couple ounces of Simply grapefrut juice on ice topped off with canfield's seltzer (0 sodium) is my total favorite. Yummy and refreshing. Just keep trying different things until you find something that…

Look into which type of hair style will be the most flattering for your new face shape. You may also want to experiment with the way you have been putting on your makeup. Perhaps try contouring, highlighter or some bronzer.

I agree

a lite beer has approximately 96 calories. 7-10 lite beers 1x per week = 672 - 960 calories 7-10 lite beers 2x per week = 1344 - 1920 calories 7-10 lite beers 3x per week = 2016 - 2880 calories Theoretically there are 3500 calories in a pound. Therefore; I could argue that if you just give up drinking beer and make no…

I like the dance pop station on Pandora--everything seems right around 118 bpm.

I'm no trainer, but oh my gosh that sounds like a lot of exercise to start with. I mean, where will you go from there when you hit a plateau?. Maybe you should consider dialing it back a little bit--like keep the 5x per week cardio and then every other week, alternate between the kickboxing/abs and circuit training on…

I would suggest that you do not subscribe, but instead treat yourself to a different magazine each month. If you like the bookstore, turn going there once a month into a reward. Grab a coffee and browse through all the issues before you decide what to buy. Then, if by the end of the year you realize you like one magazine…

jesindc makes some very good points. Also, remember that you aren't trying to "go on a diet." Imagine being on a diet for the rest of your life--Yuck! You are trying to change your life style so that you don't have to "diet." #1 Increase your physical activity: For example, trade playing online computer games for a game…

Don't beat yourself up. You aren't on a diet--you are finding a way of life that lets you have fun while still moving forward toward your goals. As long as you keep paying attention (weigh yourself once every week at the very least) and make mindful choices regarding your food, beverages and daily activity levels, you will…

Can you get in an extra workout or 2 over the weekend? It might help defray the increased caloric intake. Also, try to pick activities where you are up and moving. Even something as small as playing Wii tennis is better than sitting around playing cards. Or if you are out with your girls, make sure you dance a song or 2…

First thing is to figure out if you are really hungry or if you are bored. If you are bored, brush your teeth, drink a glass of water and get busy. If you are hungry, go ahead and have that snack. Just make sure that you budget calories so you have some left over for your evening snack, and have some pre-portioned snacks…

Congrats!! Pushups are also my nemesis. I can do the bent knee ones with ease, but I can't do the real ones at all. It feels like I am going to break something!!

Web MD says to focus heavily on cardio and to do your strength training circuit before you do your cardio workout to lose more fat

Go to Macy's. You will be able to find something there for sure. I am a 40DD and I have found several comfortable, effective sports bras there. P.S. get a fitting while you are there. It is shocking how many women are wearing the wrong size.
