How Safe Is Quick Weight Loss?
Reading things like this, to me, is a great motivation booster, especially when you're on the last 10, 15 pounds. So I wanted to post this. "You might want to drop extra weight as fast as possible, but the most long-lasting loss often comes at a slow, and safe, pace. By Madeline Vann, MPH…

Your Scale Doesn't Tell the Whole Story
Great article from Beachbody. This is for all who freak over the scale. :P When it comes to weight loss, the scale can be a good measure of progress, particularly if you have a lot of weight to lose. But if you place too much emphasis on your weight and not enough on your body composition (the ratio of fat to lean muscle),…

My Holiday Indulge
Had a BUNCH of sweets today! Don't even want to know my calories, but I barely ate dinner so I can eat more sweets, but definitely didn't eat enough calories to gain a pound. Too bad my belly is a little achy from not being used to so much sweet stuff anymore. Oh well, it was worth it! One day a year isn't bad! I took all…

Guess this is what happens!
From not drinking soda or anything so bubbly since June and only drinking water! LOL, I had some sparkling apple cider today and I am SO gassy inside now. So many bubbles and cramps going on. I told my husband to never let me drink anything that bubbly ever again! Ahaha, oh well.

Overtraining
How much do you have to workout to get to this point? For the past 3 days, I have been sluggish, my legs are heavy, and my muscles feel blah. Even laying in bed, 2 nights ago, it hurt and felt weird. LOL I have just been following TurboFire. I also started including ChaLEAN Extreme on my own (not following the schedule).…

Feeling great!
I threw my scale in the towel closet almost a week ago and it feels great not seeing it every time I go to the bathroom in our bedroom. I was always tempted to go on it, especially in the morning, which I ended up doing causing me to get depressed for an hour over it fluctuating. Especially since the last few pounds are…

Suggestions please.
Ok to break out of a plateau, I was thinking of eating 1100-1200 calories a day for 2 weeks and then go back up to 1300 or 1400, what I was usually eating to kinda confuse my body. Would that be okay? I do not eat my exercise calories and have 11 pounds left and the last are pretty frustrating to lose. I don't want to…

Hmm, question.
Is it true that the less weight you have to lose, the less you eat?

Can you see a difference?
I know, not even a months time. :P I am posting the links because the pictures are big so it wouldn't come out right on here. I can FEEL a difference so I was wondering. I take pictures of my progress on my last bit of belly pooch. Which is my main thing. This was taken October 24th: http://i54.tinypic.com/rhvb0y.jpg This…

Know what I hate?
I hate when friends try and push foods on you that you don't want. We went to a buffet grill type-thing last night. They bring you endless amount of meat and they have a salad bar with a few little sides. I, of course, ate from the salad bar. I had a buuuunch of salad, vegetables, and watermelon. I was totally fine with…

Dangit!
Today was NOT a good day at all and I am beating myself up over it. I never beat myself up over bad days. They are pretty rare, but I am bloated right now because of it. Of course, I had a big day getting shopping done and stopped and got Subway. I was still under calories, but WHOA!? Sodium high much!? My God. I never eat…

I just wanna say...
I hate scales! Hate, hate, hate them!! I really need some self control on stepping away from it. LOL. seriously, I went from weighing myself every day to weighing myself once a week and now my bad habit is coming back with weighing myself every day. I hate seeing the scale fluctuate! But I just won't stop!

Last 10 pounds!
Anyone who is working on the last few pounds hating it? It's weird... I am so much more impatient when it comes to the last few pounds because I know I am so close to my goal, but I want it NOW! I was more patient a few months ago.

Cake!
I ate a piece of cake!! First time in months and it was great! This weekend was kinda nuts. My parents came to visit us and to babysit our daughter while we went to the Marine Corps Ball Saturday. Friday night we went out to eat and of course shared a gigantic ice cream brownie thing! It was between 4 people so I didn't…

Favorite breakfasts!
What are your favorite breakfast foods? I LOVE breakfast. I love cooking it after my workouts, even grabbing a bowl of cereal I love. Right now I am eating french toast with egg whites and wheat bread. Half a banana, and sugar free syrup. Yum yum! I also love waffles, english muffins with eggs and turkey bacon. Pancakes, I…

Ahh, sleep.
99% of the time, I wake up around 4 to get my workout in before my daughter wakes up. Having a 1 year old running around the room next to you while you workout is distracting, haha. Today though the alarm went off and I just could not get up! No matter how much I wanted to. So I decided screw it, I'm going to sleep in…

Turbo Fire Gals!
I'm on the last week of month 2, so the recovery week. OMG, I just want to say how much I hate this week because it's too easy! LOL!! I know it's probably there to prepare for month 3 which is pretty much mainly HIIT workouts. I mean, 2 core classes this week, that's it? I want to add in other workouts from it, but I know…

He just had to do it..
My husband was helping at the Marine Corps Marathon today... the military ordered a whole mess up Krispy Kreme donuts for them... HE BRINGS 3 BOXES BACK! Are you effing kidding me!? I just gave him the EVILEST look, EVER! I took them and put them in the oven so I don't have to see them. Those are my favorite donuts ever.…

12 pounds..
Is losing 12 pounds noticeable? I am wondering 'cus since June I have lost 1-2 pounds a week and continue to do so. I've lost about 25 pounds and have 12 more to my goal. I'm 5'1 and the "low" for my height is 108. I do have muscle, I'm not a stick. I'm currently 122 pounds. I feel like I can't see a difference every week…

Womenly questions. Lol
Just wondering, do you weigh more during your period? I lost .5 pounds this week, but I have been on my period and still am. Today was my official weigh-in day. Usually I lose at least 1 pound a week. I am not complaining, by the way. Just curious.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Pudding
Usually it's vanilla pudding mix, but the only closest thing I had was cheesecake. I replaced some things with healthier versions. Ingredients * 1 pkg.

This helps knock my sweet tooth...
A banana cut into fourths with PB on top. I am not sure why, but when I eat it, I never get cravings for chocolate or any sweet foods. I am also satisfied after as if I ate a piece of candy. LOL
