Started Stage 1 WorkOut 5A
I started workout 5 A yesterday. I could feel the difference b/t this workout level and the previous levels.

Dedicated to becoming Healthy!
My husband and I started on our weight loss journey about mid-February. He weighed in at 264 and I weighed in at 266 (heaviest). I cannot blame my overall weight gain on having my two girls. The reason for my weight gain is due to depression. Around 2004, I was in a terrible relationship (no abuse, just cheating). By the…

I have tried light mayo and the light mayo with olive and I hate it! I can't substitute mayo; it has to be the real thing. I don't add mayo to my sandwiches, but I do to chicken salad and tuna salad. I restrict the amount I use to 1 tbsp in order to keep the calories and fat down. Another thing I can't sub is sugar.…
