I hate shorts. I figured this was the place to say it. It’s a necessary evil when hot but I can’t stand them. Same. I own two pairs and only wear them walking to the pool. |

I don't hate shorts themselves...I hate my fat thighs that rub together and my cellulite. I can't wear dresses that often due to chafing, maybe once a week. Then people ask me if I have a job interview. I hardly ever wear dresses on weekends.

I was living the sundress life until this year. That's still what I tend to put on if we're leaving the house (even for a simple trip like the grocery store), but most days it's a pair of running shorts and a tank top.

I wear shorts 99% of the time in the summer. It’s rare for me to wear a dress.

Yeah I’m always in workout shorts and a tank, or jeans shorts if we’re going out. I do like throwing on maxi dresses, but most of mine are harder to nurse in.

That looks like shorts. And hot. No to two layers when it's 100+ degrees and 80% humidity! |

My rant came from buying shorts for our next Disney trip. I can’t live the sundress life on rides.

I have been trying to wear shorts more, but my thighs rub and I'm super self conscious. But shit man, it's hot as hell out there in jeans!

Soft and breezy they might be, but my legs aren't suitable for public consumption. I'm team yoga pants/capris for life. I do have rompers that are short but somehow they look better? |

I agree, I always size up my shorts from my jeans size because I want them to be loose around the leg. So much more flattering and comfortable. |

I’ve lost 20lbs since May 14th, so a little over 2 months ago. People are starting to notice, which is nice.

That's awesome nam2013! When people notice and comment is what makes it all worth it! peachsmama I really don't want to sound like a sales pitch, because it's totally not my personality. The first week was HARD. But I feel great now. I've learned to eat better and the supplements really do help with my energy levels. I mean, never before, I would have mowed my yard after work when it was 96 degrees, or gone for a 3+ mile walk when it was 86. Usually, in the evenings, I have no energy to do anything, so I really do think they're helping. |

Ive been doing good and I lost 2lbs this week. I celebrated by getting a Starbucks frap. Clearly not the right thing to do, but I needed it!
This is the first time the scale has actually gone down in a long time. No more fraps, back to focusing!

I made some good overnight oats: half cup each oats and unsweetened almond milk, 2 tbsp chocolate PB2, 1 tbsp Agave, 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes.
