Exercise professionals needed!
Hi all! After losing my first 40lbs and finally fitting in (and I use that term loosely) to my goal dress I knew I had to start incorporating some workouts. I have a very small spare room that I've been utilizing and had the hubby take a before picture last month, focusing mainly on my back and shoulders. After 1 month,…

Punching with weights
Hi all, I just recently started a mini strength training routine for my back, shoulders and arms that lasts about 15 minutes.

Day 2
Hi All! I had the hardest time yesterday completing just the 26 minutue work out and I modified every workout. I felt defeated but knew I had to go to day 2 no matter what.

My First NSV
I just received the dress I purchased, 2 sizes smaller than me, as they didn't carry my size. I was going to use it as a goal dress but I tried it on during my lunch break and the thing fits already! The bra closure doesn't quite reach but I am very used to that issue so I can add an extender to that portion. In another…
