Hard work paid off!
I got married on Saturday to the most wonderful man ever! It was the most perfect day and the best feeling was looking absolutely amazing in my wedding dress! It was well worth it! :drinker:

Proof that you might need a break
So I've been busting my butt exercising for many months and haven't lost weight. I've been within the same few pounds for awhile. I haven't been frustrated or upset about it because I'm at the top end of my healthy weight and have noticed a change in inches and the way I feel so I've been perfectly happy with it. Well a…

Hurt my foot
I injured my foot last week and in order for it to heal I can do no exercise that puts any pressure on my foot so all my regular cardio routines are out. I'm looking for suggestions of what I can do with my upper body besides just lifting weights. Would appreciate any suggestions or ideas! The injury could make me not be…

30 Day Shred - do you notice a difference?
So I completed Day 20 of 30 Day Shred today...I have photos from Day 1 and Day 20 and am wondering if you notice a difference in me. I'm trying to tone up. I notice a slight difference but always have trouble telling myself as I never think I have changed (hence why I'm taking pictures so I can see it!) I'm sweating a lot…

30 Day Shred - Day 1 and in PAIN!

Into a SIZE 6!!!
I started my weight loss journey in 2008 when my mom and I went to Weight Watchers. I was 230 pounds. In two years I was at my goal - 150 and became a lifetime member. Shortly after that I had surgery on my foot and couldn't exercise but maintained pretty well. I then got engaged, moved in with my fiancee and his daughter,…

Eating Fewer Calories
My calorie goal is 1,200/day. I exercise on a daily basis and burn typically 300-600 calories/day. I rarely eat back my exercise calories, at least not all the calories, but I've been eating 1,200 calories/day and lose typically0.4 or 0.8 pounds a week - I know it's a loss so I'm happy about that, but I thought maybe I'd…

Peanut allergy
This year I developed a peanut allergy...it hasn't been officially diagnosed yet but I have self diagnosed it seeing as how I break out in hives every time I eat peanuts. Some of my favorite snacks contain peanuts - and I love peanut butter so I've given all that up. Even some of the snacks that say "May contain peanuts"…
