Hello from Arkansas
Hello, I'm Amy. I'm an avid crocheter, movie buff, music fanatic, loser of poundage, girly girl. I love my veggies fresh from my own garden. I'm from a very small town where everybody knows almost everybody and the gossip is free with the morning coffee. I have 2 doggies, Killer and Monster. Both half chihuahua. Gotta love…

"You're losing weight too fast!"
I've heard this from numerous people in the past week. Yes I have lost 24.8 pounds in 15 days.... *sigh* First of all, I started out at 398! I was, and still am morbidly obese. I had made excuses for years about being sedintary. I let my own skin dictate my health. (that's another story for another time) Anywho, Now that…

April minutes of working out
I loved the participation in March! You guys help keep me motivated!!! So, I figured the same as last months challenge, you set your own goal and you try to hit it. It's really a competition with yourself, but we all share here. My goal last month was 500 minutes (starting March 7th) and I ended up passing 1000... So this…

March minutes of workouts
Ok, so I did miles in January and February. I thoroughly enjoy it because it keeps me on track... turns out it was what was keeping me on track... I need a challenege! So, I haven't had a whole lot of response/participation on the miles (although, those that did participate, bravo!) I'm wondering how many people would be…

February miles!
I was asked to do it again, so here it is! I'm going to let you set your own goals on this. I did 46 miles in January and I didn't start until the 10th. I would like to do 75 this month to really push myself. I realize there are only 29 days in February, so that means... a little over 2 1/2 miles a day... I think I can…

Hello, I have a long way to go!
Hello! My name is Amy. I'm from Arkansas. I have always been a big girl. I think I got too comfortable as the big girl and just never realized just how big I let myself get. I'm almost 400. Right around 398... *sigh* I have a LONG way to go. but, I guess I didn't put it on overnight, so it isn't coming off over night! My…

Weekly challenge #6
I guess I won week 5. I'm sad that there weren't many people that participated. I'd like to see a LOT more participation in the challenges. It's much more fun that way! This weeks challenge is to stay under 2000 on SODIUM! I know this is hard, because sodium is in EVERYTHING. But that's what makes it a challenge! Post your…

25 miles...
I keep seeing these 100 mile challanges. Basically you try to go 100 miles in a month. That includes walking, running, swimming, eliptical, bike, etc. It sounds like a great idea... but a LOT for a beginner... I was thinking of doing a version of that for beginners... Anyone wanna join me in doing 25 miles in January? That…

Heart Rate Monitors...
To chest strap, or not? That is the question. I personally like the idea of not having one. But I've heard from quite a few people that you want one. :/ For all the heart rate monitor users, what do you like?
