Hello and thanks for stopping by! I’m a former couch potato turned fitness junkie who managed to shed a bit of vanity weight through calorie counting and adopting an active lifestyle.
My current goal is to stay as lean as possible while eating as much and as normally as I can. No rigid food rules, no dietary restrictions, no obsessive calorie counting, no avoiding social situations because I’m scared of eating the wrong thing. I love to eat big, hearty meals and there are many things I refuse to give up – chocolate, alcohol, bread, pizza, just to name a few.
As long as I stay active and eat the right amount of food for my size and activity level most days of the week, I find it’s not too difficult to maintain my weight loss. It is possible to enjoy life and be thin – that’s what this blog is all about.

Hey there,
Love the blog especially the Milk Calendar Post. I work with Dairy Farmers of Canada and we are looking to get in touch with you…is their a good email I can reach you at?
Best,
Beatrice
I love your “Because a moment on the lips doesn’t have to last a lifetime on the hips.”
Great mantra!!!!
Lovely collection of pictures there. Quick question about Josh – is he one of those people who manage to maintain pretty much the exact same pose no matter what photo he is in?
Haha, actually in his defense, he’s the one who took both of those photos, meaning he had to hold the camera out in front of us to take them… hence the identical poses (and I guess the fact that he’s wearing the same sunglasses in both pics doesn’t help)
I tagged you in a post on my blog!! I selected you for a “Liebster Award”
I didn’t know where else to comment and tell you that haha
Hi, I wonder if you are open to chat? I can’t find a contact here on your blog…you look awesome and your blog and “realness” is great. I’m struggling with food, calories, this and that, would love some thoughts. I’m in my 30′s, so older than you I’m guessing by a lot…but still, anyway, thanks. (by the way, I only walk, no real exercise, and actually am underweight, so I guess we’re different, but a recent picture of you looked great and strong…don’t lose more, hehe…and it inspires me. Send me an email if you can/want. Either way, great blog! Fun.
can you email me, i have some questions for you
