Tuccoa is a 32-year-old mom that is determined to run around and play with her 3-year-old son without getting tired. Tuccoa’s biggest challenge is that she doesn’t know how to correctly change her eating habits. She has all the motivation to exercise and eat right, she just needs a little guidance on how to lose weight and live a healthier life.

April 23, 2008 was the first day of my weight loss journey. That morning I woke up and decided that was not going to be the fat mom. So, I worked out at work that day and eat better. I did a lot of research online about low fat diets, calories, etc. because I had...

Hope everyone had a great Easter/Passover. Mine was great.

As we wind down on...

Haven’t we all heard someone tell us before “it’s the little things that make a difference”? Well, I believe that and I think its especially true when it comes to weight loss. The big prize for many of us- including me- is to see that scale change in a BIG way. And when we KNOW that...

This week has been interesting. As of today, we are in 5, 1/3 of the way down in this program.

I read Steven’s challenge yesterday and thought, “What the hell?!”. Called him to confirm that he really meant 100 push ups, and YES HE DID. So, I’m always game for a challenge and just decided to do it last night so I wouldn’t freak out about it until Saturday. Now, let me start my...

Just wanted to blog that I have AWESOME support through ediets! My personal nutritionist, Navalee (check out her mythbuster blogs) was truly a God send yesterday.

Day two was a success. We all started our Ediets today, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the food tastes GOOD. They even provided great treats to satisfy my sweet tooth. (Yeah!) The food is pre-packaged, but FRESH- not food for your pantry, food for your fridge. You add 2 servings...

So, I just finished reading through the “Train by Type” http://www.exercisetv.tv/trainbytype/ offered by Exercise TV. This tool is great if you haven’t used it yet- it’s basically matching a workout routine to your personality type. It looks like I’m a mix of three: Super Mom, Corporate Climber and Fitness Newbie. Being a full time mom (like there’s...

Cathy with Ediets asked us what’s our motivation? Well, that’s a good question. Here’s mine: 1. God: I want to glorify God through my weight loss. I want to show people, through taking better care of my temple, that God is good all the time!!!! 2. My Family: My husband and my son are #1 in...
