Can the glass be half FULL?
The other day I saw a comment that was asking for everyone to post their complaints… It ended up being almost 7 pages long with responses. I think as a society we are very good at finding the negative:mad: in things but it’s a bit harder to find the positive. With my new lifestyle change I am also trying to have a more…

Lost my desire!
I have lost my desire to exercise… I don’t know what happened but about 2 weeks ago I just STOPPED! I realized today that it’s been 2 weeks and I have not broken a sweat. I know I need to start again but I am just not very motivated. Any good pep talkers out there that can get my butt moving again?! PLEASE HELP!

What keeps you going????
Once upon a time in a land far, FAR away my husband and I were at his work party and I overheard him and a co-worker talking. His co-worker asked “Which one is your wife?” He replied “The really hot one in the red dress”… Here is to being THAT girl again! When ever I get down or want to quit I remember that night and how…

hiding food
I have a very controlling mom who did not allow me to eat sugar EVER growing up. I can still remember the first time I tasted it was when I was in 4th grade and I had the chicken pox… a friend brought me over a TCBY m&m blizzard, it was one of the best days of my life:love: LOL! The day I turned 16 and was able to drive…

Feeling like a crappy mom today!
Are there any other working mothers out there that feel this way?! My kids are off school today and I had to send them to the sitters because my work is not closed. I just feel like I should be with them enjoying this beautiful day! Makes me sad which leads to comfort food! NOT a good combination! You gotta do what you…

Calories equal to goal weight?
I had a Dr. once tell me that I should eat the amount of calories I want to weigh. For example if I want to weigh 140lbs I should eat 1400 calories a day (200lbs would be 2000 cal day)...Has anyone else heard this?? Is this true? If so, on days I go over my limit and am in the red, is it ok as long as I am still under my…

Exercise Question??
So exercise is pretty new to me! I have been doing about 30-45 min of cardio 4 times a week since starting on this program. Yesterday when I was walking I set it to the highest incline to get a better burn. Today the front of my shins are hurting really bad, is this something that I should.... 1) Take a day off? 2) Push…

YOU are my motivation!
I am doing this on my own with no real support from anyone I know. They just roll their eyes at me and think I am on another “fad” diet. Maybe I am but, this time it really feels different… I think the reason is all of YOU! I log on every day and see your challenges and your successes and I feel like I am sharing them with…

Scales??
I see a lot of people posting ".04 lbs loss since their last weigh in". My scale only has .5 increments... Do you think I should invest in a more detailed scale? Do these little .05 and .2 weight losses keep you more motivated? Just wondering your thoughts. Thanks!

I am really doing this!
I know to most people sticking to a diet/program for longer then 11 days is no big deal, but for me... It's AMAZING! I alway give up by now because I have not dropped 20lbs in 2 week (as if it came on that fast). I am just really proud of myself and see this as something I can actually do! I am not hungry, if I want more,…
