Pumpkin Butter!
Anyone else LOVE Trader Joe's Pumpkin butter? I do :) I am looking for some other creative ways to use it. I usually add it to vanilla greek yogurt with some sunflower seeds, add it to oatmeal and obviously spread on wheat toast. Any other good ways to use this deliciousness?

Need a buddy to help me keep accountable!
I am 5'5" 28 years old. Currently, on a good day I am 136, on a bad day I am 141. My inital goal is to get back to 130 and assess from there.

Small Successes!
I thought it would be encouraging to start a chain where we can note our small successes of the day. For example passing up homemade brownies a co-worker brought in or walking home from work instead of taking public transportation. Anything that you do that makes you feel proud of your decision (no matter how small) - note…

Boozin'
On the same lines of struggling with food/work outs on the weekends, another thing is the booze I consume on the weekends. I'll admit that my friends and I still drink and party like we are in college during the summer. My bf and his buddies have a shore house that I go to almost every weekend and the boys literally start…

How did everyone do this weekend?
From the intro post it seems a lot of us have issues with the weekends! I guess that comes with not having a lot of weight to lose, we probably feel like we don't have to be 'on' 100%. Well at least I think that is what part of my problem is. I did ok this weekend, but more on the side of bad. I had healthy breakfast and…

Easily Discouraged
I am 28 and have about 10-15 lbs to lose. I've slowly gained 12 lbs over the past two years. When I was younger (just like everyone else) it was so easy to drop 5+ lbs with just a few weeks of work. Obviously, the older I get, the harder is it to lose anything. I find myself getting easily discouraged when I don't see…

Garcinia Cambogia Extract
Has anyone tried taking garcinia cambogia extract? Anyone have opinions (negative or positive) about it? I did some light reading on it and it seems ok, but I have never used a supplement to assist in weight loss before so curious if others have and how it went. Thanks!
