The Sexy Seven! Ya'll it was so close but I ended up going with this team because of a few reasons: 1. Jill finishing that triathlon! That was a huge accomplishment and she worked her tri training and strength training the whole way. 2. Team members...

Last but not least we have the Incinerators as the last spotlight in the Fast and Furious Challenge. This team composed of Kathleen, Lins, Britt, and Lucy. The girls worked hard and here are their general comments regarding the challenge. BTW...I was...

Sorry the blog went dark for a couple of days, but I was at Jen Hendershott's Phat Camp in Nashville with a slew of the girls from all over the WORLD!!! Yes, Cass came from Serbia to be a part of one wild, fat burning, emotional, and hoochie top filled...

It's a well known fact that women do better losing weight and getting fit when they have community support. Some people join places like Weight Watchers, Phit-N-Phat, etc. and find that having like minded women around them shooting for similar goals...

At PNP we have eight week challenges where the girls get new workout schedules. This last challenge was the Fast and Furious Challenge. For the first time we divided into teams. Each team had a moderator as the leader and they were responsible for answering...

Going from fat to Phat can leave your body a little on the saggy side even when you work hard, lift like you mean it, and lose weight slowly. I don't care if you had a baby or were just fat most of your life like me, if you have loose skin it will...

I asked Becca, a moderator, to share a story she told me on the phone yesterday. I didn't want to go to the gym so I decided to make a dog walk "count." You see, my dogs like to stop and smell the roses. Literally, they love the smell of...

As you all know, I'm training for a figure competition and I really haven't updated the whole PNP world lately as to what is going on with me. The girls get a blow-by-blow account in my journal but I thought I would blog tonight rather than just...

I was at the pool the other day with my family - we joined a family-oriented club for the summer. So there's lots of moms, dads and kids running around. My son and I were sitting in the picnic area so he could have a sandwich. Yes, I am the unpopular...

This past weekend, Phit-n-Phat member Jane competed in a 1/2 Ironman in Show Low, AZ. It consisted of a 1.2 mile lake swim, a 56.8 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile run. This is the 2nd time Jane has competed in this race and, in her words, she wanted "revenge"...

I had the funniest post today from one of my girls. She's always colorful but today it really struck me hilarious when I read it. I forgot to mention when I was at Caleb's school I got several compliments-always appreciated. To one teacher, I...

Sometimes I crack up when reading our posts in the forums because the girls don't even know how far they have come unless I remind them. Today I want to talk about two interesting things I've noticed them chatting about and see if any of them...

I was going to blog about vacation season but was so moved today by a few of the PNP'ers that I am writing about falling off the wagon and getting your butt back on it. When you land hard on your head sometimes it takes you a little bit to "come...

I HAVE BEEN WITH PnP FOR ONE YEAR AND I HAVEN'T LOST ONE POUND!! Not exactly what you were expecting from a so-called successful PnP'er and a Moderator, huh? But, it is true. I weigh exactly the same as I did when I began my journey with Corinne...

It sure doesn't feel like it here in NJ, but summer is right around the corner with Memorial Day weekend upon us. And with that thought - happy though it is for the kiddies - comes one of the most dreaded thoughts for many of us..... BATHING SUITS...

That's fat burning baby and we got more ladies tearing it up this week. Congrats to everyone who lost, first of all. This week we had... Lucy has lost 12lbs to date! Jane has lost her first 10lbs and gearing up for the Half-Ironman in two weeks! Angela...

Yesterday we talked about how efficient circuit training is and I gave you a GREAT routine to use. Today I want to tell you about how to walk the dog. How many of you drag your booty out of bed every morning and take the family pooch for the morning walk...

Circuit Training is hot right now. You can hardly go into my gym without seeing groups of people running around doing all sorts of weights without burpees, mountain climbers, or stair running thrown in to raise the heart rate. I have been training this...

Corinne asked me to write a blog. I have been sitting here trying to think of what to say because I never find myself a person of great words, wisdom, or knowledge like many of our fellow PnPers. There is one thing that breaks my heart and gets me all...

This week I turn the big 3-0! Wow! I’m still amazed that I am about to be 30 years old. Just 10 years ago I was 20 and depressed and not too mention 50 lbs heavier and miserable. As a child growing up, I remember thinking 30 was old. I would laugh and...

When Corinne asked if I would do her blog today, my first thought was sure. Then my second thought was ummm, what I can write about? Who wants to read something written by me, some boring ol’ middle age momma? As I pondered this, I thought what’s the...

We had 2 sets of endurance events around Phit-n-Phat this weekend. First, we had Kathleen and Tammi compete in the 32rd Running of the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon in Indianapolis on Saturday, May 3. It was a field of over 35,000 runners. To...

Let me just tell everyone my biggest pet-peeve with anyone who comes to me about weightloss. 90% of losing weight is your actions and doesn't have anything to do with what Daddy did or didn't say to you as a child, what your innerself repeats...

http://phit-n-phat.com/content/may2008spotlight.aspx Jill is a fabulous example of reaching deep and doing things that are way out of your comfort zone. This weekend she will compete in her first triathlon. We've all been following her wonderful story...

Getting It All Done Life is so busy right now. I could list it all but people would think I'm either a "look at me" kind of girl or think I do crack to keep up. I'm neither so just take my word for it; I keep it rocking from the moment...

You know, being a Phit-N-Phat girl is not always easy. We do things most people are too afraid to or not willing to do. We WORK hard during our workouts. 500+ calorie burns are the average workout. We eat healthy. Some eat clean, some eat healthy with...

I would blog about this on the autism site , but this is more about my resolve with food than Logan's new diet. Just for those who aren't familiar, Logan is on a GFCF (gluten free and casein free) diet. All of his food is now cooked naturally...

Today we're going to talk about cardio and the biggest mistake I see make with it: doing the same thing over and over again yielding little to no results. Changing up cardio is just as important as switching your foods around and attacking your muscles...

Life is hard right now. It just is and I have to get over it or drown in my own sorrows. When I started this blog today it was a total pity party for me and my woes. I then thought about why I do this blog each day and why I started PNP. It was to inspire...

It's not always about how much weight you lose that determines success. Girls at PNP also experience loads of changes in their attitude about themselves. They gain confidence in their ability to hang with the big boys OR avoid the stares of neighbors...

Many of us post how our weekends become "weakends." Or how we're trying to plan for vacations. What happens when your whole life becomes a weekend? See, I just stopped working. Now, for those of you know me, you know I had a 3-hour daily...

Weightloss is funny because it has so many aspects to it that it can get overwhelming really quick if you don't make it as easy as possible. I have found that most people who do the "work" of getting themselves ready for weightloss find...

I have always said that my son inspired me to lose weight. He was one when I started feeling unable to keep up with the active little man. I feared he would learn my unhealthy eating habits, have a mommy he was ashamed of, and I would spend his youth...

You will find out this week that my son was diagnosed with autism last Wednesday. I plan to blog about it but I just ran out of time to craft it today. We are all FINE and thank God for my family, husband, and PNP girls. I get a lot of comfort and great...

At PNP we talk alot about planning and goal setting. We need to have a goal so we know we are getting somewhere and without a proper plan how can we execute it so as to obtain the ultimate goal. So, I went back into my archives of blogs that I wrote from...

Since Corinne is out for a few days and I know how much her readers tune into the PNP lifestyle, I'm taking it on myself to post a blog for everyone. I wrote this back in August of 07. We all remember this from the Snow White movie where the wicked...
