One Year Of Maintenance!!!
There comes a time when you realize your excuses are exactly that, lazy rationalizations. At that point you really commit to a healthier lifestyle and hold yourself accountable for every choice you make. I was at a crossroads at 170-ish pounds, and had already lost about 70lbs. I asked myself "Why can't I just be…

VOGUE Italy creates VOGUE Curvy
Just came across this when I was searching online for the Italian word my Nana used to describe "thickness, curviness, etc." but in a good healthy way. What's interesting about the Italian culture (not among the high fashion market in It.) is that skinny-skinny isn't the ideal, but niether is that level beyond healthy…

Seven Fishes. AY!
In my Italian family, Christmas Eve is known for the night we pig out on fried seafood delicasies! :laugh: Since I've made this life change, there is just certain things I won't do anymore, and eating fried food in mass amounts is definitely at the top of that list! Now, I might have one breaded butterfly shrimp, but for…

Alright, America. Let's Start Taxing Junk Food.
I was reading The Angry Pharmacist blog (http://www.theangrypharmacist.com/archives/2010/07/why-help-those-who-refuse-to-help-themselves.html#comment-10123), and found one of the responses by a Dr. of 20 years, to be very true & inspiring!

Coffee Tawlk :)
I love my cafe! Who here is a coffee drinker? I've read a lot of different reviews on it, and recently I came across an article in Self Magazine that says drinking it will increase cardiovascular health. I can imagine why, since it increases heart rate *caffeine*... but why does the drink have negative connotations among…

Anyone One Else Hesitant?
As I get very close to my goal, I find myself wanting to add pounds to my weigh ins...just to be safe. Anyone else? I weigh weekly or bi-weekly more often, last time I logged in 147lbs. on 1/15/10. Today I hopped on, and weighed in at 144.4 lbs, 0.6 below my goal! But on MFP I only logged in 146, I guess b/c I want to…

What's Your Frame Size?
I recently used this calculator to determine my frame size. I have been told by my O.B. that I am at a healthy weight, 147lb., for my large frame size. I was curious about this "frame", so I entered my wrist circumference (6.5in.) into the calculator to give a more accurate frame size result, & it stated I do have a large…

"I wish I was a little bit taller..."
That song describes my current feelings, at least the first part of the chorus ;) Seriously, I'm 5'2, 150 lbs. currently, and my goal is 140-135lbs. I'm a midget & I just can't help imagine what I would look like if I was 5'9! I guess I am torturing myself, especially b/c I was just glancing at the photos from the…

My Journey So Far, 94lbs. GONE!!!
~Mia Storia~ It all began in 2005, when my Fiancé and I moved in together. Well, the obvious happened for two people who are crazy in love...BABY! So we bumped up our wedding date and welcomed our son into the world, the following year. From that pregnancy, I gained 35lbs., putting me at a whopping 205lbs. I had always…
