Walking Shoes for Obese
I need to invest in a better more supportive pair of shoes for going to the gym. I mainly do the treadmill, and just getting into the elliptical. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not looking to spend a ton of money, but I wouldn't be opposed to $40-$60 ish.

Biggest Struggle
What has everyone's biggest struggle been? Mine is that I want instant gratification. I know I'm on the right path, the scale says so. But I want to SEE and feel results.

My first NSV -
Some will understand, some will not. It's a small thing, but I can use the dryer and don't have to air dry my jeans anymore! :) They are even a little loose after using the dryer! That is all. For now anyway. Have a great week everyone!

Can't wait to have shoulders!
I just have to say, I am sooo looking forward to the day that I don't have rounded shoulders. I am pretty sure I will cry once I get there. My boyfriend is aiming to see his hip bones again. What body part do you miss seeing the most? (let's keep this clean, gentlemen... ;) )

Bacon?!
Hi there, my friend is having a bacon party on Saturday. Everyone is supposed to bring a dish that includes this delicious food. My question is: Does anyone have any great party food recipes that have bacon that are not terrible for you? I am not opposed to using turkey bacon either! Thanks!
