Support and Motivate Me!
Hi everybody! I'm not new here, in fact I have quite a few friends...and I appreciate them all. But I don't get much support or motivation. And honestly, sometimes I NEED it. I do try to give support and high 5's, though I am honest. I won't give you a fist bump if you only net 100 calories for the day. In fact I will tell…

Shifting My Focus
I am pretty sure that my attention is now shifting from weight loss to toning and really getting some definition in my muscles. I made my goal in weight (though I fluctuate so much that I haven't been back down to it). So I either stress out over those last 3 lbs that come and go or just do it already. I'm tired of…

eating better + drinking water = heartburn??
So yeah, the title sums it up. I have had horrible heartburn everyday for the last week or so. This is awful. I'm really paying attention to when it's at it's worst so that I can try to pin point what it is that could be setting it off...so far EVERYTHING I eat or drink gives me heartburn. Oatmeal = heartburn, water =…

It Fits!! (help me choose shoes)
I have a dress that I bought in my early 20's, I am now 33. I have not been able to wear it for years and years. This dress was supposed to be donated A LONG time ago, but my husband snuck it out of the bag and kept it because he loved the dress and he knew that at some point I would wear it again.

A Happy Moment at the Gym
I just wanted to brag a bit - last night at the gym I ran half a mile without stopping. That may not be a big deal to a lot of people...but for me that is pretty major. When I started working out I could run only a few minutes (maybe 2 mins at the most) and then I was winded and my heart was pounding and I had to slow…

My Work In Progress
I decided that I was tired of the fat girl in the mirror starring back at me. I wasn't her, but some how she had taken over my life. So I told her to take a hike and I was taking the control back. I have been watching what I eat and portion control since mid March, in April I watched Food Inc and was disgusted with the…
