Struggling fitting my new lifestyle into my day
I'm really struggling with finding time for everything. I like many, start my day at 6:30 AM, get two kids ready and off to school, head to work, work all day in an office job, head home and check backpacks, spend 30 minutes with my kids, bedtime routine and voila - it's 9 PM. I've been eating dinner around 8 PM and I've…

My calorie burns are dropping?
I am guessing it's because my body is getting more fit? I've noticed over the past few weeks that my calories burned for the same workouts are dropping. Is something wrong with my heart rate monitor or is it accurate and I am just burning less calories per workout as I get in better shape?

Your favorite Kinect workout?
Just got the kids xbox Kinect for Christmas and want to get myself a workout game too. Just wondering what some of the best workouts are for the system. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to working out without a remote!

Checking in skinny peoples cabinets
I was at my sister's house this past week and glanced through her fridge and cabinets to see how skinny people manage to eat right. It was glaringly obvious - she did not have junk food in her house. Seems so simple - if you don't want to eat it, don't buy it, right? Most of the food they eat has to actually be made -…

It's a fork not a shovel!
Since I been on this journey I have been paying more attention to not only what I eat but how I eat. One thing I noticed is that I eat way too fast. I find myself at my desk mindlessly shoveling my lunch into my mouth. I need to slow down, chew slowly and completely (some bites I'm not even sure I've chewed!) and remember…

Weigh in
Yikes I gained a pound the first week on the challenge! Gonna forgive myself for the lack of focus (and Thanksgiving, which was less like One Day and more like a Three Day feast). Game On!

The problem with "It's only one day" holiday mentality
I been thinking about Thanksgiving and the " it's only one day" theory and have come to the conclusion that for me it leads to a slippery slope...add in a Birthday, Christmas, New Years, Superbowl. Thankgiving. Valentines, 4th of July, Labor Day, Easter, Halloween, summer vacation, winter vacation, etc - and I can quickly…

Need to find my exercise MOJO
Once I actually get moving I feel so great. Not sure why it's so hard for me to find my mojo this time around. I really want to do the C25K program and I am the only one standing in the way. WTH is wrong with me. I read all the inspirational stories and know that I am never going to get where I want to sitting on the couch…

I don't know how I got to this point...yeah right
I'd say "I don't know how I got to this point" (250lbs) but I'd be lying. It's quite simple, I ate anything I wanted (even some stuff I didn't want because it was there), whenever I wanted, without concern and did not move very much at all. Add in 3 pregnancies and the death of a loved one and you've got a recipe for how…

Getting tired of Lane Bryant
Hi all - looking for others who are sick of over priced, low quality fat girl clothes who want the freedom to shop wherever, whenever! I've got about 70 pounds to go - but probably only 30 and I can leave LB for good. It's always been strange to be that I can fit in a 14/16 shirt there but it's really a size 20 in a…

It's Do or Die time
Not sure I've ever set a goal in my life but I set a mini goal on here to get outta the 240's permanently by Thanksgiving. With only one week to go - I've got to lose 3 lbs by then. I know it's doable and I really need to hit this first goal for the continued motivation. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this...need…
