Needing a little inspiration here and wondering what your 'moment' was... you know the moment where you decided that enough is enough and you needed to lose the pounds?

Bacon
I must admit, I don't much care for turkey bacon, but love real bacon. Ever since I've been trying to live healthier, I've been on a mission to find a bacon substitute that is both low in calories and doesn't compromise taste. I've tried everything, different brands, leaner cuts of ham, different cuts of meat, literally…

Magic Bullet
I never endorse anything unless I truly believe in it but you MUST buy a magic bullet. I got the platinum series and it was worth every penny! It makes AMAZING breakfast smoothies. Right now I'm sipping on a watermelon, strawberry, white cranberry iced smoothie for a mere 74 calories that literally took me less than 2…

Polar Heart Rate Monitor
I would really like to get a polar heart rate monitor as they seem to be the most popular well known brand. Has anyone ordered from their online website? Which one do you recommend?

They are just wrist watches with no chest strap but claim to count calories. Mine says my heart rate is anywhere from 48-95 in a matter of seconds, while I am doing…

Share Food Diary
Does anyone want to share their food Diary with me? What I mean is, to have a person that I can send mine to at the end of the day and vice versa? I know it may sound silly but I think that it would help me be more accountable for what I do. Writing everything down certainly helps, but I think the 'newness' of that has…

ARRRRRGGGG
Okay, so I am SUPER frustrated! My mini goal (2 lbs per week) was to be 209 lbs on Thursday, March 5. I was sad because I was off by 1 lb weighing in at 210. Sad, but it was acceptable as it was still a LOSS. Well! I got on the scale on Saturday... 214.5! So I went for a brisk 40 minute walk (in -30 C!) played some…

Epic Fail

I ate nothing but crap b/c I was feeling sorry for myself. I got on the scale today... 214.5! On Thursday I was 210. I know one day can't really make that big of a…

I went grocery shopping today...
... and picked up a 10 lb bag of potatoes... and my husband said 'just think you have lost 2 of these off your body!' Wow, how awesome is that? That really put it into perspective for me. I suggest next time any of you are grocery shopping, you pick up a 5, 10, 15lb bag just to see how much weight that actually is! Very…
