Show me your bikinis!!!!!
I don't care if you think you look "fat" in it, I just tried on a new one I just got today, it's super cute. My stomachal (hah making up words) area needs work, but for halfway to my goal, I'd say it looks pretty darn good. Here. I'll post. I love, love the bikini, and I'm about 85% confident in it right now...

Before/Current pictures
I was feeling down on myself today. I was feeling "extra" fat today. I know it's silly, but it's how I feel sometimes. So I went to good ol facebook and found an older picture of me, at my heaviest. 189. And I went and grabbed two photos I took recently at my current weight. 140 lbs. I made a collage. I am happy with the…

Gluten Free living!
Tell me about it! About how it has affected your daily life and mood and what not! I noticed right away after slowly making the switch the benefits of reducing belly bloat, I'm quite pleased!

NSV? Also a progress pic!
So, the other day I was in Walmart with my dad and baby, and we were just wandering around, and we went into the girl's section, and I found a pair of really cute yoga pants, and held them up to myself and looked at the tag, size 14. And they were perfect. Had I tried them on, they would have fit, no problem! Yay :) XS are…

What motivates you?
Sometimes I feel I lack the motivation factor. I have no problems with walking, I have problems with getting into the nitty gritty workouts. Doesn't help that I have a 2 year old who thinks it's AWESOME to jump on me while I try to do sit ups and push ups... One of my goals is to be in a bikini by summer (Summer starts…

Healthy Meal planning?
Hello all! I'm a single mom with a 2 year old, and I'm looking for make ahead meals that are healthy and easy to go to! I'm looking for convenience as I work 30-40 hours a week, and I am on somewhat of a tight budget and I do weird shift work. So things I can take to work instead of just buying something at the store…

My very first NSV!
Today at Zumba, about 10 minutes before the class ended, we had to get down and dirty, with... AB exercises. Usually with ab exercises I cringe and feel like a failure, BUT I managed to do all of them! YAY I hate them, but, knowing that I can complete them without as much *effort* is an amazing feeling! Just had to share!…

You don't need to lose weight!
How many of you have heard this from loved ones, friends etc? I've had countless people tell me that I don't need to lose weight, and it's frustrating and I don't know what to say to them. The last retort I came up with was a good one. "You don't see me naked!" That one got a few laughs. I'm sick of it, I feel like they…

I'm SO happy :D Ignore the bad angle that I am holding my face... -.-

How long did it take to lose baby weight?
I just want to know how long it took to lose baby weight. For me I'm struggling a bit because before my pregnancy, I hardly ever worked out and I hardly ever had "healthy" meals. I'm stuck at 160 right now and it's killing me! Hopefully when I go back to work the weight will start to go away, since I'm fairly active there.…
