Woohoo!!!!
Y’all, I just needed to throw today’s “woohoo!” somewhere out into the universe. Last week my trainer gave me a calorie goal and a protein macro to meet. I did it!!! And lost 2 lbs this week!!!!!

I want Fat to Strong!.... where do I start tho?
Hi, thanks for clicking in. 😊 I need help knowing where to start. I’ve always had thick thigh and calf muscles and strong shoulders without really working at it (the rest of me is a hot mess though 🤣). Now I’m 45, overweight and out of shape. Those muscles are still there, right under the cushy top layer, just waiting for…

Friends in East Tennessee?
Hi there! I just moved to East Tennessee and know absolutely NO ONE. My 45th birthday was last week and, honestly, 45 hits a little different. 🤣 Mom to 4 boys, ages 15, 13, 11 and 9.

I don't have to work for the muscles, they are just there and I want to keep them. For years, they were hidden by a layer of fatty softness, but I'm working hard to shred that…

I could be having fruit for all the cals/sugar in my coffee!
What?! That's crazy! So I'm a little slow :blushing: but I'm so happy to have finally figured it out! I think I'll stick to oolong tea and water for a while and see what other things I might learn. :wink: Yay, me! It's the little things, I guess....
