It's Almost That Time . . .
Hello all my Fabulous and 40 friends! It's almost time for my fabulous 40's to be a thing of the past - - and yes, in reflection they were fabulous ;) My 30's were not about me so much as raising a child, then the early 40's was a time to reintroducing myself to myself. My mid 40's were awesome. I started here at 43,…

Fast Forward from 44 to 49 and I just don't seem to know what to do. I recently started back to doing Sworkit workouts and though I can feel…

Do You Have to Pick Being Happy with Your Weight or Your Shape?
I started here about 4 years ago at 5'2" - 244 lbs. in almost 2 years I got down to 154, from a size 18/20 - 2/4 with a nice shape and a great healthy outlook! I was able to maintain pretty well and then I turned 47 . . . now it seems like I have gained 2 inches at my waist and my nice curvy shape has morphed into…

What is Your Goal Weight
Hello Ladies, Goal weights can vary based on body type and height and honestly ethnicity. Sometimes it is hard to balance some of the forms that discuss this, but I also think it can offer some reassurance regarding our goals.

LADIES! WHERE ARE YOU?

How do you know when to stop?
When I started this at 244 lbs., 5' 2", I set my goal at 170 lbs., a good friend of mine said 'maybe you will want to continue once you get there,' I thought that could be and then decided on 150 as a good goal weight, but that changed again to 144. I am now at 163 wearing a size 6 top and 10/12 bottoms, these are sizes…

February Challenge?
Hello, I have to admit I am getting a little discouraged with groups where members appear to be inactive, so maybe a February Challenge where we check-in weekly if not daily will help build some camaraderie and support. Since each person has their own workout routine, I think choosing your own challenge for the month would…

What Changes During Maintenance?
Hello, I am still working on losing but I was wondering if any of the ladies have noticed any changes that have taken place since you have entered maintenance . . .

Suggestions to Share - Changes In Eating
Okay, so one of my November Goals is to limit my use of BUTTER, I have already limited my consumption of bacon and now butter! I still use it but instead of cooking with it (usually mixed with a little olive oil) I just dab a little on my prepared vegetables after they are done cooking - by the way you actually get more…

NSV - 2014 Style
Just went over the details for open enrollment on my medical plan and with the doubling of our office copays and the new minimum deductible for prescriptions I am so happy that I no longer have to take high blood pressure medication! That is more motivation for me to stay active!

Self Worth Increases at Weight Goes Down!
Am I the only one that gets comments thinly veiled as compliments about how good I look and this means that men must now be showing me so much more interest. Is this supposed to mean that my self-worth as woman has increased just because I have lost some weight? Not everyone that is losing weight is looking for attention…
