My Daughter
Well, I have been on my healthier lifestyle journey for almost 3 years now. In that 3 years I've managed to lose 30 pounds and found a love of good healthy food that I never thought I'd have. I hardly ever eat fast food (except for Subway) and have given up soda (except as a treat maybe once or twice a week and then it's…

30 day Shred Anyone?
I've recently gotten a little off track regarding my goals with my food and my exercise, but today starts a new beginning for me! Today I am beginning Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I've tried it before, but after two weeks at Level 1, I gave up. I am determined to finish this! Anyone want to join me in my journey with…

I am sooo ashamed!
I don't know what is wrong with me right now! I went on a complete binge last night & it is carrying over into today (although not as drastic as last night)! I mean last night I ate any and everything I could find. I wasn't even hungry and the foods that I ate weren't even among my favorites (okay maybe the drumstick ice…

Red, White & Blue Cheesecake Yogurt Cupcakes
This is my first time posting in this forum, but I just made these cupcakes last night & they were AWESOME! I had to share! I can't take credit for the recipe, I found it on www.skinnytaste.com, a recipe blog that a friend of mine turned me onto. I have used several of her recipes and have yet to find one that I didn't…

A Couple of NSVs
I have been on my weight loss journey since November 1, 2010 after seeing a picture of myself on our family vacation. When I picked out the dress I had on I thought I looked pretty good in it, but lets just say the camera doesn't lie! Anyway, my first NSV today is I calculated what my BMI was then (28.9) and was in the…

????
I was just wondering if anyone could help me understand what is going on with me. I am one of those people that weigh themselves everyday (I just feel if I know where I'm at I can keep better control of myself when it comes to eating). Well, Monday I weighed 124. That is still 6 lbs below my goal weight, but about 4 lbs…

Couch to 5k Download
I was doing the Couch to 5k with my daughter who has the app downloaded to her Ipod Touch. I have had to take a break and won't be able to start back up for another week. My problem is when I start back up she will be visiting her dad and since her Ipod is like an attachment to her body, I will not have her app to use. So,…

Proform 675 CardioCross Elliptical Trainer
I just purchased the Proform 675 Eliptical Trainer. I've used it a couple of times now and it seems like a good workout. It has a computer that does a readout for time, distance, & calories burned. I was wondering if anyone knew how accurate the calorie burned readout on one of these machines is. See I get a readout of 238…

Help! I'm Shrinking
Okay, I know this may sound crazy, but I can't seem to quit losing weight! I reached my final goal a little over a month ago and since then I've lost 8 more pounds. Now don't get me wrong, I feel fine, it's just my hubby commented last night that I might want to think about gaining a little back because my cheeks were…

NSV-Swim Suit
Okay, I'm a 36 year old mother of three & had all three via c-section. So, needless to say, I HATE shopping for swimsuits. I usually go for the full coverage kind, as I'm sure noone really would want to see my railroad track of a stomach. Last year my hubby bought me a really pretty one from Lands End & I love it (even…

6 Months & 30 lbs Ago
I have struggled with my weight since my early 20s, mainly due to a very unhappy marriage and the fact that I'm an emotional eater (oh and it really didn't help that for most of my 20s & some of my 30s I was a manager at McDonalds!). In 2004 I found a lump on my neck that changed my life forever! Not knowing exactly what…

Fairly New to the Exercise Thing
So, I've been on my weight loss journey since November 1, 2010. I reached my goal weight in March and I'm SUPER excited that I did! I didn't really start exercising until around January. So, I've really been working my way into it. I started out with a DVD by Leslie Sansone (Walk Weight Loss Bootcamp) & tried Jillian…

Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones
I am SOOO excited! For the first time ever I finished every circuit in this DVD at one time. It has taken me a while (trying it off and on) to do it, but I did it! It kicked my butt, but I did it! YAY me!:bigsmile:

My Fitness Coach
I have finally reached my goal weight & I'm so excited! With that said, I still plan on staying active and trying to exercise daily. I usually go for a pretty brisk walk for about 30 minutes every day and I'm trying to do some toning exercises as well, but I'm BORED! I love to walk, but I feel like I should be doing more.…

Maintaining My Weight Loss
Well, I have recently made my weight loss goal of 26 pounds (that puts me at a healthy 125 pounds, I'm 5'2" and haven't seen the 120s since high school), but I'm now worried about maintaining. My husband says that I should be able to go back to eating 2000 calories a day (my goal while trying to lose was 1450-1600), but…
