Same photo, one year later. :)
Yesterday I found a photo that I had my husband take for me last April. It was at the point when I had lost about 27 lbs and was starting to run and lift weights. So I had him take the same pic for me yesterday (I'm now down 67.2 lbs.) I debated about posting this because I still want to work on more muscle definition but…

Half Marathon training question
I am all signed up for my first half-marathon in September. I'm really looking forward to it !:happy: I'm starting my offical training now, although I've been running for over a year. I've done several 5K races and I've been increasing my regular running distances to anywhere from 6 - 10 miles when I run long. I'm trying…

Feeling down while shopping? Try this. (PICS)
Tonight I was shopping and I was feeling gross in everything I tried on. So I decided to do something to remind myself of how far I've come.

Why weight lifting is important on this journey... (pic)
Photo on the left is from April 2012. Photo on the right is from August 2012. Just 4 months difference. I still have work to do. Today I surpassed the 50 lbs lost mark. I walk, run, use the elliptical. But the weight lifting is what's making the biggest changes to my body. I don't lift heavy (yet!) I use free weights,…

Doing other cardio/weights during the 30 Day Shred?
I'm thinking of doing the 30DS starting on September 1. I've tried the level 1 workout a few times before but that was waaaay back in the beginning and I never stuck with it as a routine. Now I think I'd like to try it and do the whole 30 days. My question is if it's OK to continue doing other cardio (running/elliptical)…

How do you make yourself realize how much you've changed?
I have lost 46 lbs since November 2011. (I'm 5'7", SW 221, CW 176) I KNOW my clothes fit different, I'm in a smaller size, etc. But when I look in the mirror I see the same thing I saw 46 lbs ago. I can look at photos of myself and see a difference sometimes, but day-to-day I don't see it. I'm not done losing - I have…
