I spoke to someone who informed me that she saw major weight loss just from avoiding these 3 things. 1. White Breads 2. Pasta 3. Rice I decided today would be the first time without…

Natural Hair care after working out sweat
I hope I'm not the only one, but after a good workout we all know sweat comes along with it. I have to say where I see it most is on my scalp and I'm not sure if its necessary to wash my hair everyday, since I work out every day. I've been told its bad to wash your hair everyday because it strips your hair of moisture but…

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO LOOSE WEIGHT?
I've just started working out more often the last few weeks doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I am currently in the middle of level 2. Although the scale tells me I have lost weight, when did you notice a body change when looking in the mirror?

Before and After Shots
One of the most important parts to this process is being able to remember where we came from. It would be easy to just workout and notice results by just looking in the mirror but the real joy for me will be seeing those inches come off based on my before measurements. Something that I'd love for us all to do is post our…

STOP THINKING ABOUT FOOD? AHH!
I've found that working out is not the issue in this new healthy lifestyle change, it's definitely the eating. How many eat every 3 to 4 hours? Does this system work and not keep you hungry? Do you set a certain amount of calories for each thing? Example: 1600 Diet 300 - breakfast 600- lunch 100 - snack 600- dinner LET ME…

Food & 30DS (How they work hand in hand)
If I'm honest with myself, I gotta admit that the most confusing thing to the healthy lifestyle change is the balance between calorie intake and exercise. How many calories in a day do I consume if I'm doing 30 day shred? How do I break up those calories so that I'm not starving throughout the day? Can I really gain a…

Natural Hair, Natural Health
Hello Ladies, I've recently joined my fitness pal. Last year 2013 I decided to start caring about my body and not being lazy. Part of that was deciding to go natural with my hair, big choppin (as some like to call it) and letting the texture God gave me be out on display like it always should have been. I noticed very…
