Pure Barre- two weeks in
I LOVE Pure Barre. I have lost an inch off my waist and 1.25 inches off my arms in 2 weeks. Here I am going to my first class: And here I am this morning (notice how Thomas tracks are always in my hallway lol) And so long to my arms that keep waving long after I have stopped: I still have a ways to go but I am feeling SO…

NSV- down another belt hole!
When my second child was 18 months old I could not get this belt even close to the first hole. Since then I have had another baby and today my belt went to the 4th hole! I feel pretty great about it

NSV-pants size
I ordered some pants online in a 9/10 and I have to return them, they are too big! And with the new Pure Barre classes I am signed off I am sure they will be way too big soon! Guess it's time to order the pants in a 7/8!

Found a new love
Pure Barre! I took it last night and man within the first 3 minutes I was starting to sweat- and I do not sweat easily. The thoughts going through my head also sounded like this: “What in the (bleep) did I (bleeping) sign up for? What the (bleep, bleep, bleep) is wrong with me to (bleeping) torture my (bleeping) body with…

My back fat roll
Is GONE! I noticed today that when I put my hands on my hips I didn't feel that lower back fat roll I have been sporting for the past couple of years! WOO HOO!

Affordable Protein Shake
I was looking at protein shakes and found the Jillian Michaels that fits well within my budget. Does anyone use them? Do you like them?

Not eating enough=Not losing
I honestly want this explained to me because it makes no sense to my mind. I hear a lot of folks say if you don't eat enough you won't lose weight....then how do anorexic folks become so thin? Don't get me wrong, I know this is unhealthy and I would never do that to my body, I just don't understand how this makes sense.

Pure Barre
The search only showed a few comments about Pure Barre- my boss loves the classes and you can seriously see the difference after a few weeks of her going 2-3 times a week. Anyone else try them and like them? They are kinda a tad expensive

Quick Work Out Idea
I did this quick work out tonight after finding the idea on pintrest, thought I'd share. Sometimes I like to sneak in a quick work out that takes me 15 minutes or less. First you do 10 push ups, then you do 10 jumping jacks. Then 9 push ups, 9 jumping jacks. Then 8 push ups, 8 jumping jacks. Then 7 push ups, 7 jumping…

Pictures of progress
I hope I post these right! I am down 28lbs so far and have another 10-15 I'd like to go. This is me on my honeymoon in summer 2009, I got pregnant with son #2/baby #3 the Nov after this was taken. In my goal outfit, the jeans are a tad too tight but in 2009 they would not go up past my knees And yesterday in the Miss Me…

Jeans Size
So happy! I tried on some Miss Me designer jeans today....started with a size 30 and then had to grab a 29! I think that equals a size 8 in jeans!

Desk Job
I have a desk job and I really like my job but I am trying to fit in some extra ways to be a bit more active during the day. Any suggestions? So far I have been working on getting up every 1-1/2 hours at least and taking a short, 5 minute walk or so. I am also starting to walk on my lunch break for about 20 minutes

Motivational Pictures
Do you have any pictures you look at to keep your motivation going? What are they? Is there a person you tend to get motivation from? I tend to do better if I have a picture around of myself from 5 years ago before I gained the weight. And the person would be my sister in law, she is thinner than I would like but I love…

Belt NSV
When my first son was 18 months old I pulled out an old belt of mine and couldn't even get the ends to meet- this morning I put that same belt on the FOURTH hole in! Man does it feel good! (and to add my 2nd son is now 17 months old)

Giving and receiving support
I think I do best in my weight loss when I have support and am giving support to others, so please feel free to add me! My name is Cecilia and I am 31 years old. I had a daughter when I was 18 and got to a size I was comfortable with- size 6/8 and 145lbs (I am 5'8). I got pregnant in 2007 and stopped looking at the scale…

Losing the last 10lbs...
Losing that last 10lbs and really toning up is being really hard for me. Any tips on getting these few pounds off? Right now I'm working on drastically cutting my sugar intake. I have a horrible sweet tooth that has gotten extremely bad these last few years so I know I need to work on.

Cutting out sugar
Anyone have any good tips for cutting back on processed sugar? I am finding that I have a real problem with processed sugar and eat way too much of it. I am hoping by cutting it back I can get back to having a normal amount for sweetness if that makes sense. Even in my coffee I put way too much flavored creamer and sugar…
