Forced Labor : )
:ohwell: I have been lax, to say the least, in my exercise routine. I went from 4-6 x week to nothing. I have tried all the tricks I know of to get back on track. Black Team challenges have gotten me drinking my water and logging my food:bigsmile: but what would get me motivated to move again? Turns out it is dropping my…

When do you FEEL skinny?
Today I wore my goal jeans!! The ones I bought 35 pounds ago, thinking: "No WAY I will ever fit in these....what was I thinking??" I decided to tuck in a tight black shirt and wear a belt.

It's true. Sugar makes you crave sugar
Amazing. I have never been a big sugar person. I have desert only when I dine with a friend who wants to share it. Then I only take a few bites. I started removing hidden sugar a few months ago, and really did not miss it. On Monday my boss made her homemade cupcakes, and I ate one. Now I can't STOP!!:laugh: :laugh:…

Life Changing Decision
I am sitting here, reading the newbies posts on their hopes and dreams. A little over a year ago I came upon this site and for the heck of it tried a pass code and it worked.

Eat less, exercise more............
I have been thinking about all the weight loss gadgets, pills, gimmicks and books.

Poofy belly = (
I have been complaining (to myself) about the extra skin on my belly. I am 48 and lucked out with all 3 kids to have a flat, flawless skinned tummy after all three. But now after abusing my body for 15 years, I dont think the skin will snap back again. That is really ok.......I am healthier and much much MUCH…

Do not sit down with the bags of bagel chips, pretzel chips and wheat crackers and a bowl of hummus to log the calories of the food you just painstakingly just measured. Just one more of this, one more of that.........almost doubled my snack attack calorie intake. Good thing I stopped before eating it!! :flowerforyou:…

Try something new!
I went on line and looked up a new ab routine. I was bored with crunches and bicycle pushes. I am pretty good at the plank on a ball, so decided to start a routine based on this move.
