first time I ever stuck with a New Years resolution
I decided in December last year that I had really had enough of my out of control weight gain. I had gained over 30 pounds in about 3 years. So I set a goal for 52 pounds in 52 weeks. Early on I was losing more than 1 pound some weeks, none others. I have done really well I think. I am hovering at right around 35 lost with…

trouble with the mirror?
Do you have trouble looking at and believing the mirror? I am down 36 pounds and 4 pants sizes. The logical part of me knows I have lost a fair amount of weight for my size.

I HAVE really toned and gone down in clothes sizes and you can tell I am much more trim. But the scales haven't moved much in about 2…

thinking of intermittent fasting..
I'd like to hear from some ladies on their experiences. I feel like I have plateaued and need a new direction. I have been working out Mondays and Wednesday evenings with a fitness bootcamp from 5:30 to 6:30. And a personal trainer Saturday mornings. I do some running and lifting on my own, but not a religious schedule. I…
