I am not sure how to teach your brain to not do this, I am going through the same thing myself. Today I put on a 12 curvey skinny jean as a joke, and they fit like a glove, and look great. I had to take a photo to believe it, because my brain assumes all mirors are tricky! Anyway, I lost 55 lbs in 2000. I had this same…

I did Atkins in the past and recently learned I have a gluten allergy - i follow almost paleo/primal (I do eat grassfed dairy). I started a group for people like me if you want to join, it is mostly low carb - and don't let the name fool you - ages are now 18-66 :) Read the description and feel free to join if you want a…

I can't get past the look of them. I eat clean and cannot get past the fact that it isn't a whole food...

An oldie but goodie: 100 jumping jacks 90 crunches 80 squats 70 leg lifts 60 jumping jacks 50 crunches 40 squats 30 leg lifts 20 jumping jacks run for 10 minutes (or do stairs) I'd also add in burpees!!

I just wanted a place where I felt comfortable and can draw people with the same wellness-type interests and/or a desire to just be REAL. life is hard, and none of us are perfect. hopefully having a group…

I just made this last night - mushrooms & spinach sauteed iwith a bit of cream and parmesan. Spaghetti squash is my go-to. I eat it at least weekly. cauli-rice ("rice" made out of cauliflower) GUILT FREE! brussels sprouts with proscuitto or bacon! i could keep going...

I am definitely a lowcarber! I found my biggest success on Atkins many years ago (maintained 1999-2007) - in 2007 i added flour & sugar back in.......and here I am today needing to lose that same 55 lbs and regain health - I have been sick for that long. In fact, I recently learned I have a gluten allergy. I follow an…

hello!!!! glad to have you in the group!!

Yeah!!! we have the same kindergarten photo :) I love having a friendly face in here, seeing as we go WAY back :) I hope having a group to share and commiserate with helps you meet your goals too. I feel like THIS is the year! What is your biggest struggle?

I was all about excuses for so long. It is so hard to get past that and just decide that you are the captain of your ship. I still feel like sometimes I want to sit down and get a tan! But when I do that, the ship hits rocks. So, this year I committed to abandoning excuses. 10 Lbs down, so many to go. Having people to be…

I had an account a couple years before I got serious. I am 10 lbs in and have 50 to go. I didn't star making progress until I joined a group and love the accountability it provides. Let's get motivated!

I struggle with motivation too. I am better when I see results, but when your body isn't going at the speed you're hoping for it makes it tough. It's hard with temptation too. I do things to battle that like Sunday food prep, but I love having a community of people to go through this wit! -Aimee

My sister's family has come to expect Friday nights is pizza night. They follow my eating style because I make the food! So for them this isn't a cheat. I will usually eat leftovers while they indulge, or if I am wild and crazy, I get a gluten free pizza. I have been using my crock pot a lot - making recipes form Practical…

It's the small things like that! I am living with my sister for a bit and I had to bribe the kids (5 & 3) to keep the play room clean - I put a small TV on the wall and I work out there.
