Switching to soy??
I've made the switch from 1% milk to almond milk about 6 months ago & accidentally bought soy milk about 2 months ago (& I've been using that since then), thinking I was making a change in the right direction. But I am stuck wondering does this really make a difference? I read (on the internet) that its all a trap lol.…

Starting over...New beginning
I started my weightloss journey & lost over 30lbs a few years ago (got down to 159 in jan. 2013), then terribly lost my way. Now time to put an end to what has gotten out of control...being that I'm 7lbs away from where I started. Ready to put in the work that I know I can do

Motivation?
Why is it so easy to fall back into unhealthy habits?! Why is it hard to get on track & stay on track? I lost over 30lbs in a year & gained 20 of it back in just 8 months! I feel like i've failed. But i know it's time to stop feeling depressed & do something about it...i've done it before & i know i can do it again. I just…

Good-bye Thighs?
I seem to be losing inches everywhere else except my thighs. My younger sister (age 14) told me the other day "You can tell you're losing weight...until you look at your thighs" <--unnecessary statement, but true. It's mostly my inner thigh that i'm having difficulty with. I've been doing squats, lunges, & a few yoga poses…

Zumba: Class or Game?
Since the cold, rainy season is approaching (& I get sick fairly easily), I plan to do more inside workouts. One of my fav things to do is dance. I own a Wii and do at least an hour or two of playing 1-2 times a week; I really enjoy the Just Dance series, the MJ Experience, and The BEP Experience. A friend suggested I get…

When life gets in the way.....
I haven't been getting the same workout as i did in the summer: I am a full time college student and now that it's the middle of the semester, my work load has picked up. I haven't been able to workout the way i would like to. I'm swamped with homework and after doing that and household chores, I'm too tired to do…

Gaining muscle??? How do you know?
The last 3 months i've been stuck between 165 and 170lbs. Ive been eating right, exercising, and even lowered my cal intake to 1545. I've also tried to maintain at 1750 for a week and lowered them again (I'm currently trying to maintain for 2 weeks then lower them again) but nothing happens. I weigh myself every 2 weeks…
