Lately I've been disappointed with how slowly the scale has been moving lately (6.5 lbs in 2 months!). But check out how many inches I have lost and the picture difference from…

KILLER Elliptical Workout!!
Here is a workout my trainer gave me to intensify my workouts. Just to give you an idea, it took me 60 minutes to do and including cool down, I burned 845 calories, about 150 calories more than I normally would in the same amount of time. The elliptical resistance levels are based on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the…

No Longer Obese!!
My personal trainer took my body fat percentage today (she uses a caliper) and I'm down 2% from last week! That's the biggest jump I've had! So that brings me down to 29.8% and qualifies me for "overweight" instead of "obese"!! I'm so excited! My goal is to be around 22-23% body fat by the end. I started at 34% body fat,…

Nectar Whey Protein Isolate = AMAZING
So my personal trainer is strongly recommending me to drink a protein shake after a hard workout to help build muscle/recover. But EVERY protein shake I've ever tried has been disgusting....like, "Wow. I'm gonna puke if I have to drink one more sip..." So I was a total skeptic, but she swore by this brand of protein…

Past "Failures"??
In March 2008, I decided that I needed to lose weight before my wedding or I would never forgive myself. So I lost 30 lbs and (I think) I looked and felt fabulous at my January 2009 wedding. But then life crept back up on me....as did all 30 lbs and 13.6 on top of that. So on April 24, 2010, I decided to do something about…

Addicted to food?
The hardest thing for me to overcome when losing weight is that food is ALWAYS on my mind! I just love to eat! How do you/have you overcome the times when you just want to eat something because you're bored/emotional or for any other bad reason?
