Amber Riley Weight Loss: Before and After

"I'm a lot more comfortable in dresses, especially gowns"

After dealing with chronic stomach pains that drove her to her doctor last year, Glee's Amber Riley decided it was time to get healthy and lose some weight.  Since then, Amber has dropped a total of 2 dress sizes.  According to Amber, she's always been comfortable with her size, but wanted to get healthy for a change.  She also told People magazine that all the fast food that she was eating at one time was attacking her stomach and so desperately needed to make a change to her lifestyle.

I am so happy for Amber!  She definitely looks so much more healthier, not to mention, refreshing.

One on One Personal Training with Jackie Warner

The two latest home workout video's that I've had my eye on for weeks now is Jackie Warner's "Extreme Time Saver Training" and "30 Day Fast Start" DVD's.  If you've ever worked out to any of Jackie's video's you can attest to the fact that Jackie doesn't play around and means business when it comes to her workouts.  She certainly keeps things interesting by having you move non-stop and incorporating a variety of exercises you never thought your body capable of doing.    


Since I'm back incorporating strength training as a part of my exercise routine again, I definitely plan on adding these two video's to my already growing collection in hopes of mixing things up a bit as far as my workouts are concerned.  You know me...have to keep things interesting as I easily get bored.


Here's a sneak peak at Extreme Time Saver Training for you:

Weight Loss Made Easy

Too funny:

Style Icon: Solange Knowles

It's know secret that my two biggest style Icons are Tracee Ellis Ross (from the former hit show Girlfriends) and Solange Knowles (Beyonce's little sister) and with Spring just around the corner (well not quite just yet in my neck of the woods) I'm starting now to get a bit of inspiration as far as playing around with a few new looks.  And with me going on 7 weeks strong with Weight Watchers I'm hoping by the time spring rolls around, I'll be at the half-way mark and on my way upping the wardrobe just a tad bit-something that is long time over-do.  

My one style icon that has certainly made her mark in the fashion industry is Solange Knowles.  She's definitely one that's knows how to play it up with all sorts of colours, patterns and prints and I absolutely LOVE it!  

Let's check out a few of my favorite looks that I'm hoping to draw inspiration from when it's time to update the wardrobe:

Because It Works: Weight Watchers

I came across this video that  a friend of my posted on one of the Weight Watchers boards and I just had to share.  It's definitely one of those video's that offers a nice little boost for those of you who are struggling to keep up with your weight loss journey.  It's not easy, but video's such as these remind you that anything is possible as long as you stay focused, commit yourself and give it your 100%: 

Adele: Grammy's 2012

Definitely loved seeing the lovely Adele at the Grammy's this evening.  She's looking much thinner than I saw her last and she certainly killed it on the red-carpet.  Keep up whatever you're doing Adele-you're looking Fab-U-lous!
