Seeing Some Definiition!
Prior to my pregnancy (where I gained +60lbs), I was 'skinny fat.' I didn't have any muscle on me. At all. I would go for bike rides with my now-husband (then, b/f) and he'd have to push me up the smallest hills because I had no muscles in my legs whatsoever. It's embarrassing lol. Since educating myself on strength…

To All Moms:
How much weight did you gain in your pregnancy and how long did it take you to lose it? Did you ever lose that "mommy chub" at the bottom of your tummy? I had my daughter in 2008 and gained 60 lbs with my pregnancy. I was basically unrecognizable after having her! Yuck. Ive lost most of the weight (and gained a ton of…

What are you reading?
What has been your favorite novel you've read recently? I've currently am in the midst of re reading the Harry Potter series. I'm about halfway through The Half-Blood Prince. Even though I know what happens and how the story ends, I'm sad for when I finish it (again)!

Vegas
My hubby and I are going to Vegas in March for our honeymoon and I'm looking to see if anyone has any suggestions of things we should do. We kind of have a unique situation because my hubs is in a wheelchair so a lot of the tours (i.e., ones to the Grand Canyon) we can't do because they don't accommodate wheelchairs (which…

Celebrity Look-a-Likes
Who have you heard you look like? I've heard Ellen Page about 100x. I don't see the resemblance haha. My husband (who is in my profile picture with me) has heard Jim Carey more times than we'd like to admit haha and, again, I don't see that.

I dont know how to set clear concise goals
I know the importance of goal-setting. I do. And believe me, I want to set goals. But I can't, for the life of me, even figure out goals to set! I tried numerous times to set weight loss goals (i.e., when I reach 145 lbs, 143 lbs, etc) and even inches lost goals but they don't motivate me the way they should. I've also…

Best athletic clothing company?
I am on the hunt for a decently priced athletic clothing company. I usually buy my workout clothes from Costco (I'm in Canada). I don't live in a city with a Costco in it right now and it's hard for me to get to the closest city (1 hour away) because I just don't have time at the moment. The brand that Costco has is called…

Disappointing weigh ins
Here is my problem with every weight loss endeavor I have had since giving birth to my daughter in 2008. I do awesome in terms of weight lost for the first few weeks and then I stall out, get discouraged and say "well wtf! I'm working my *kitten* off and eating right 90% of the time, why am I not losing anything!?" And it…

Breakfast Ideas
Hi all! I have a dilemma with breakfast. I work at a local gym spin the opening shift. I'm at work at 5am, meaning I get up between 4 and 430am on days that I work. For the first few months of my job, I had cereal for breakfast but I found that I wasn't getting enough protein so I was starving by 7am again! So I dont want…

My Journey
I have always had an up/down battle with my weight. After some extreme "disordered eating" in high school, I ended up dropping 30 or so pounds before my graduation in 2005 and another 15 afterwards. I got pregnant in 2008 and gained almost 70 lbs. When I went in to have my daughter I was just under 200 lbs. Sept. 2008 -- 1…
