1200 Calories
So here is what I have noticed in my personal weight loss. When I started this venture I was eating less than 1200 calories a day to lose.

Help! Fat from here not there!
A little frustrated today. While I am losing pounds and fat, it is not coming off from where I want it to. How do I target fat loss in the hips/bum/thighs and not the chest??? Can this be done? I do a mix of cardio and strength... I want new clothes, just not a new bra size. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

What time of day do you want your ideal weight to be?
I have been thinking my weight goal through and I came to the realization that I weigh myself in the morning before breakfast but just after I go through the morning routine, when I am my lightest. So I weighed myself this morning and then got dressed. Put on a pair of jeans that had been a little snug but were now fitting…

"They" are out to get me!
I work in a preschool and elementary school - it is that time of the year where everyone is making stuff! So far this morning I have received gifts of chocolate covered almonds, this great treat that is buttery, chocolate, carmel and pecans.

Workout Wear
I am finding that I am working up quite a sweat during my cardio which means I do a complete change of clothes after a workout. I would like to minimize how much laundry I am doing. I am wondering if anyone knows if a company makes workout wear that incorporates the undergarments? TIA!

A better introduction
Hi All: I just thought I would take a moment and introduce myself a bit better. I am 38 years old. Last year I went back to work full time after being a stay at home mom for 8 years.
