Reflecting on the Sisterhood
One year ago I weighed 157 pounds. My daughter had just turned 1, and I realized I needed to restart my weight loss journey before I had a reply of what happened after my son was born. You see, when I got pregnant with my son (who is 6 now) I was already overweight. After I had him, I thankfully lost all the baby weight and then some while I was breastfeeding.

ANN’S STORY: I first came over to visit the Sisterhood after hanging out over at Beth’s at “I Should Be Folding Laundry”. She has been

Shrinking Jeans *Team In Training*
**I was beyond excited when Kirsten approached me with this idea! As you may know, I participated in Team In Training for my first (and only!) 1/2 marathon a few years ago. I walked most of it, but it was the most awesome and rewarding experiences in my life.** From Kirsten: Hi everyone!  I have some exciting news that I want to share with everyone.  As some of you may know, my husband and I participated in the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco last month.

True Confessions
Today is the day when we’re gracious enough to give you the wonderful opportunity to get everything that’s bothering you off your chest. Tell us about all of your stumbles, your shortcomings, the brownie you ate at 10 p.m. last night, and those margaritas you had on Friday night. We want to hear it all. Trust us. It makes us feel not-so-bad about all the crap we’ve done! So here are my confessions: My daughter turned 2 on Friday and I made a birthday cake for her. There was nothing light about it.
