Love the Y!! It's the way to go!

We pay about $90/month total for my husand, son, and I at the YMCA. My work pays every fourth month as long as I go at least 6 times per month, which is super easy. For that price we get full access to all the YMCAs in the area including each fitness center (machines, weights, etc...), unlimited fitness classses (they have…

I'm in!

Amazing! Congratulations!

I love Teavana. They've got a great variety of teas. I like the Wild Orange Wulong Oolong, Youthberry White and most of all the Raspberry Riot Lemon Mate (great plain, hot or cold) Today I had a delightful cup of Stash Creme Caramel and loved that as well.

Cooking dry pasta causes it to absorb water resulting in, say, 2 oz of dry pasta to weigh 4 oz after cooking it. The numbers here aren't important (i don't know if it actually doubles or not). Just know that dry and cooked pasta weigh differently. Knowing this, you understand that weighing out 2 oz of dry pasta would not…

I've lost 36 lbs in 6 months but I've got 40 more to go.

I'm planning on doing handmade/crafty gifts for the first time this year too (for the adults). Not sure about kids other than my son, who is the only one who is almost done. Love these^^ Also love the candle idea. I plan on doing spa baskets for the ladies this year with homemade sugar scrubs (there's a candy cane one and…

My hubby eats what he wants and doesn't have weight issues. I do most of the cooking and he does some but overall our meals aren't the issue. Try to cook more than you go out for meals. Buy lots of fresh ingredients and have a plan for how you're gonna use them. Explain your goals to him and tell him you're eating…

Congrats on your success!! You look fantastic! I knew it!! Is that Now Jade Resort?? It looks just like Now Jade where we stayed last November.

I think I can do it this round! Haven't met my goals since round 1, although I haven't gained or even stalled either. Just not losing as at the pace I would like. I think I am officially refocused and back on track. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow!

This recipe is from skinnytase.com and is super easy to make and delicious if you like chunky sauce. I put it over shrimp and penne pasta.

Good for you!! Sounds like you have a realistic plan and I love the sign on your fridge and the jeans o remind you if your goals. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Weigh it however you are going to track it...if you are logging it as "4 oz raw" it should be weighed raw, if logging "4 oz baked" weigh it after baking it. If i'm adding things to it while cooking (like mixing it in sauce or with veggies) I will portion it out raw and weigh it (usually creating a recipe) because I find…

Amazing! Congratulations!

Congratulations! What amazing progress you've made! Yay for you!!!

I love Zumba. This is my go to workout if I don't actually feel like working out. It is so much fun! If you like dance you should also enjoy it. You get out of it what you put into it like any other workout, but luckily the DVDs come with several workouts so you can go with whatever works for you that day (longer, shorter,…

Another nurse here. Some important changes for me have been: I don't order out with my co workers anymore. I tend to be lazy in the morning so I always pack my lunch the night before and sometimes even log it the night before as well so I don't have any excuses (running too late to make a lunch) for ordering or buying from…

Congratulations! What an amazing difference you've made in your life and whats more rewarding than knowing you've set a positive example for your children. Your doing incredible, keep it going!

Praying for your family and a safe return for your cousin.

I don't agree with your husband making you feel like you need to dress a certain way but I think that part has been addressed in the earlier posts.what I really want to say is, what about yourself, I'm sure you want to feel sexy and confident. Maybe you need to take baby steps. What about your hair. Maybe get a new cut or…
