Good morning Shrinkers! How did your week go? Are you shrinking away? Maybe not yet since it is only week 2 but soon enough, you could be. I love the concept of this challenge- just doing what works and keeping it simple. Notice I didn’t say *easy* because as we all know, if it was easy, … [Read more…]

Hola Shrinkers! How are you doing this week? Did you know that Wednesday is our official weigh-in day here at the Sisterhood? All the way back to the very beginning of our site almost 6 years ago! Wanna know why? Because weighing in on Wednesday gives you a few days to recover from any faux pas that … [Read more…]
A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Christie Inge, life coach extraordinaire. Please take a second to go back and read her guest post! As I mentioned then, I’m going to be tackling some of the questions that Christie presents in her getting started guide. The good, the bad, the ugly…I’m going … [Read more…]
When I started this whole weight loss thing, I don’t think I had a clear idea of what was in store for me. I had my map, I had my tools, but I didn’t realize what an adventure it would be. I’m not sure if I realized how long it would take. I’m not sure if I realized how many roadblocks and … [Read more…]
Back in the olden days when I was, oh, around 28 or 29 (you know, like 4 or 5 years ago), I was well over 200 lbs. Honestly, I couldn’t tell you how much I weighed because I refused to get on the scales. I was extremely unhappy with the way I looked. Had you asked me, I wouldn’t been able to tell … [Read more…]
We are all here because we have one thing in common. We are all striving to live a healthier life. If you’ve been here for any length of time, you’ve (hopefully) realized by now that these journeys that we are all on are about more than just weight loss.

I’ve been told more than once recently that I don’t look like a sorority girl, but in fact, in college, I joined a sorority. At the time, it was something I needed. I lived at home and was hopelessly shy. I had a few friends I made in class and one of them pledged. Through her, I met more of the … [Read more…]
Good morning Sisters and Brothers! How are you? Did you have a good week? We hope so. So hop to it! Drag those scales out, blow the dust off, take deep breath, and step on! Is the number getting smaller? We hope so. If it’s not, don’t fret. We all have off weeks, and just need to recenter and … [Read more…]
Although I tried really hard for the first few weeks, I found myself getting too comfortable around the holidays. A little too comfortable. Like gaining a lot back comfortable. All my dieting plans went out the window and floated around like the little snow flurries we had. They were out there, they … [Read more…]
