Real Life Barbie
This is what Barbie would look like if she were real. Personally, I enjoy my body being in proportion, even if it's slightly chunky proportions! :)

Considering LowER Carb - suggestions?
So, when I say I've literally tried everything to break my plateau, I really mean I have literally tried EVERYTHING. In my last chance effort, I've decided to give this whole "low carb" thing a go. I never was a big carb eater (rarely eating bread or pasta, but, I do eat a lot of fruit, so I get carbs there, but, I…

Question for those that have zig zagged?
(Posted before but hoping to get more personal stories with zig zagging) I've been on a pleateau for 3+ months and have recently started zig zagging, as of last week. I had a mid week spike of about 5 lbs, lost those, plus about 0.4 from my original starting weight last week. This week, I'm experiencing the same mid week…

To Those Who Have Zig Zagged
I've been on a pleateau for 3+ months and have recently started zig zagging, as of last week. I had a mid week spike of about 5 lbs, lost those, plus about 0.4 from my original starting weight last week. This week, I'm experiencing the same mid week spike, tho not as dramatically, I'm still down about 4 lbs from last…

A Woman's Week @ The Gym
My friend, upon finding out I hired a Personal Trainer, reminded me of this... "Do you remember that e-mail going around a while ago? The one about the woman getting a personal trainer? I'm going to be giggling to myself when you are posting about seeing her snarling teeth waiting for you." - I, of course, laugh, because I…

Breathless Body - Amy Dixon
Just curious if anyone owns it and has any reviews on it? It looks like a killer workout - and the reviews on the video website are positive. I have her Super Fit Bod and LOVE that one - hard, but awesome! Just thought I'd get YOUR feedback! ;-) http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/amy-dixons-breathless-body-6022

Flat Out Flat Breads ROCK! (http://www.flatoutbread.com/ - Found @ WalMart) - Pizza, Rolls, Wraps, I'm even thinking about crisping it up and making a healthy version of Nachos! I've posted a couple (Taco Turkey Roll and Italian Turkey Pizza), and find people are really loving these things too! What's your favorite way to…

Protein Powder or Shakeology Pancakes?
Anyone have a recipe, with nutritional information, for either? I've seen them before, can't quite find what I'm looking for. Any help is appreciate! :) Thanks!

Half Way - 45 lbs down - with pictures-
This is painful to post, but I'm also very proud of how far I've come and I didn't really see the difference until I took a picture for comparison the other day - wow! I still see the much heavier me in the mirror - but, pictures don't lie! I know how motivating other posts are with pictures so I hope to do the same. *deep…

I'm the same me...
A much needed rant: To start, I am almost 50 lbs down from my heaviest...I am still the same person on the inside (tho, I will add I do have a lot more confidence), but much changed on the outside. I now get tons of attention where I never got any before. I don't necessarily MIND the attention (Tho, I'm not always sure how…

I'm a "Fit Fat"
I finally went off to the doctor this week after not having been there for a very very long time. Picked up a new physician. I really just wanted some labs done to see how I'm doing. Long story short, I'm the picture of health! I'm still technically considered "obese" with the whole height to weight ratio thing, but, I'm…

Favorite Fitness Instructor?
Some we love, some we hate, some we love to hate (Jillian Michaels, anyone?) Who do you love, or hate but still do their workout because you get results, and why? I love to hate Jillian - her workouts are tough as hell - they make me feel like a wimp, but they also work and make me strong in the end! I LOVE Chalene Johnson…

What's Your Favorite "Fat" Book?
By this I mean a book, or story, with a so-called "fat" main character... I, like many, tend to read this type of book because I find it relateable. Just curious your thoughts. Probably my favorite was "Moose: A Memoir of Fat Camp" by Stephanie Klein. It was so relateable to me. Read it in a day at the beach! :) Read "Good…

Medical NSV's
Some great victories for me today! Went to a new doctor today - My BP was a bit high (white coat syndrome) at 140/72 BUT down significantly from January when it was 190/90! Meaning they are no longer concerned about it at this point! This may be TMI but I have a feeling I may have PCOS and have always been poo pooed about…

The Kindness of Strangers
I posted this is my blog, but wanted to share it here, too. This is just a reminder that a few words, even from a stranger, can make all the difference to someone. Something we need to remember and "Pay it Forward"! As I was killing myself to get through my run today, I saw a lady come into the gym, that I've seen many…

Lavash "chips"
Gave this a try lastnight and it turned out really well - thought I'd share. I did this with Joseph's Lavash Bread. You could do it with the Flat Outs as well. I took one Joseph's Flat Bread (100 calories) and used just a little olive oil on each side (maybe 20 calories, tops) and then, for this batch, I sprinkled one…

When they talk behind your back (NSV!)
It can be a good thing! Talking with a co-worker today about health and fitness and eating well, etc. She commented that she thinks I eat incredibly well and then says "well, this should make you feel good". On our way back from a meeting yesterday I was walking ahead of the pack and another co-worker said to her…

This Week I...
(I originally posted this in my blog but then thought why not post so more people can toot their own horns...We work hard, we deserve to toot them every now and then!) WARNING: This is me tooting my own horn - please feel free to add your own toot! (No, not THAT kind!) This week I... Weighed myself on Monday after giving…

"I run...so I can eat chocolate cake..."
This is the saying on one of my favorite workout shirts (which is getting too big on me, sadly). The front says "I run..." and on the back it says "so I can eat chocolate cake..." The other I love is "I workout....to have a feel good day" - I just pulled these out and put one on to head out the door for a run and I thought…

Italian Turkey Flat Out Pizza

Turkey Taco Rolls
A new creation I discovered that filled me WAY up! Pride of the Farm - Taco Seasoned Turkey - I found this at Walmart - it is turkey that is already seasoned with taco seasoning and it's incredibly tasty! I had my doubts, but, wow! (145 calories for 2 oz - about all you need for the wrap) Flat Out - Flatbread Light…

Hi, I'm Savannah and I'm addicted to my scale...
I just shared this on my wall and have had a lot of comments so I thought I'd go "public" with it! I just finished a 10 Day Cleanse. I gave up wheat, flour, dairy, fried, etc - and lost about 5 lbs in 10 days - which is GREAT, in my opinion. My next quest? I'm giving up my scale for 10 days. I'm a compulsive weigh-er and…

Proof that it's 99% mental!
I have been doing the walk/run interval thing trying to ease into running, constantly telling myself "omg, I can't run 2 minutes" and so off I go - with that mindset - walk 1, attempt to run 2, staring down the timer on the treadmill - omg, only 30 seconds, oh, I'll surely die - death is coming for me...60 seconds...oh,…
