NSV!
So I live in a culdesac where all of the neighbours are really friendly (for example, in the summer, we have been known to have bonfires on the weekends right in the middle of the street). That being said, since winter is a brutal beast, when November hits, we all kind of retreat into our homes and start to visit with each…

(Almost) twenty pounds down - NSV!
I have a wedding to go to this weekend, and my boyfriend's sister's high school graduation is at the end of this month. That being said, I went shopping for a dress and was actually able to buy one from the regular-size side of the store (no more plus sizes!). Feeling pretty elated about it! :) Before = 250 lbs After =…

Taco Bowl
I was feeling creative at dinner today, and I have to say, this turned out DELICIOUS! Ingredients: 1 lb. lean ground beef (or turkey) 3 C. uncooked white rice (Kraft Minute Rice) 1 1/2 C. white mushrooms, raw (sliced) 2 cobs corn (or 1 small can, drained, your preference) 1 packet taco seasoning (Old El Paso Hot and Spicy,…

What do you work out in?
Just wondering what people are wearing to work out in... I find that in my Zumba classes I'm usually one of the biggest people in the room, and I'm jealous of the cute little Lycra outfits everyone has on, but ALAS, they don't fit me (yet!). I wear stretchy yoga-style capri pants and usually just an old tee, but want ideas…

Total NSV!
My boss is constantly supplying the break room with treats: cakes, cookies, candies, chocolate, etc. Sometimes she brings in a box of specialty treats and comes cubicle to cubicle offering us each one. Since I started trying to lose weight, I've managed to turn down her offers every time. Today, she was leaving for lunch…

Workout tunes?
Just wondering what some of your favorite workout songs are. What do you have on your playlist? Warm-up songs, cardio songs, cool-down songs? Looking for some ideas to flesh out my own lists. Gotta say I love me some Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (Good Vibrations) and Run DMC (It's Tricky)! Note: I will listen to pretty…

Secret?
Early this afternoon, my boss walked into my cubicle with a box of donuts. She opened it up and offered one, then looked taken aback when I declined. "Are you sure?"... thanks, but no thanks. Just now, someone else on my floor just came to see if I had had a donut from the box, and if not, did I want them to bring me one?…

New, nervous, scared... EXCITED!
A relative of mine has recently become my superhero inspiration, shedding weight and, in turn, motivating me to get my butt in gear and do something good for myself. She introduced me to this site (this morning!) and here I am! I have a long ways to go, but I've taken the first step. Hopefully this time I don't look back.…
