My lightbulb moment - a simple solution to my nighttime snac
With two little ones to get ready for daycare, my mornings can be a little crazy. So, for the past 5 years, I have always packed their lunches the night before. This makes for an easier morning, but sometimes sabotages my calorie count because I'm hungry & just can't resist a slice of bologna or handful of chips. Well duh!…

Amazing Dessert - Meyer Lemon Curd Tart
Meyer Lemons are in season right now, and I made this Cooking Light recipe last night. Much to my surprise, it came out looking exactly like the picture, and it was delicious!

Beginning Abs Exercises
Hi Everyone! I need some ideas for some beginning ab-strengthening exercises. At the current time, I am not able to do even one sit-up! I was working with a physical therapist, but I had to quit due to the expense. I have gained a little strength in the past few months from walking, dancing, etc, but I have a long way to…

Hiya!
Joined Fitness Pal this week, in conjunction with a weight loss challenge we're doing at work. I have a 5 y.o. son, and my daughter will be 2. I am still as heavy as I was when I delivered her!!! Time to lose this body weight, and reclaim my body for me! I have done WW very successfully in the past (lost over 50 lbs!), but…
