Things that suck about losing weight...
I can't exactly vent about problems relating to losing weight to just anyone. Most people would be happy to see the pounds gone. Here are a few things I'm feeling sorry for myself about. -My boobs look terrible and my new bras look like training bras compared to my old ones. (36D to 36B) I'm losing all the weight from the…

Tiny blisters after a work out. Anyone?
In the last week I've started getting tiny, fluid filled blisters from mid thigh to my ankles. They pop easily when I run my nail over them or when I shave. They are not red, don't hurt or itch.

365 days of logging, 50 pounds gone w/ pix

Does this seem right? I worked up a decent sweat and I know my heart rate was up. I burn more than 94 calories walking for 30 minutes. I'm…

Make my Christmas list
My hubby has been bugging me for gift ideas. I can't think of anything! Are there any tools, gadgets or toys to make my weight loss journey easier or more fun? I've already got a Fuel Band and someone is getting me a HRM. I thought about asking for a gym membership but I'm not sure I can make the time to go. I don't work…

Mini Milestone
I broke into the 170's!! I haven't weighed this little since I was 6 months pregnant. SW: 194 CW:179 GW: 130 MFP days: 41 I've never even attempted to diet before. I would try a work out video or run for a few weeks, but the more I exercised the more crap I ate. I could kick myself for not doing this sooner. It certainly…
