    I feel that same why! Can't tell ya how many times I've hear, "You look great for having had kids!" That is just not cutting it for me...and I'm getting older, so the weight will just start to creep up if I don't do something about it now.

    I've been doing Boot Camp, Free weights, Zumba and running.

    Feel free to add me, I'm always looking to motivate and be motivated : )

    I'm on my last 20lbs to lose and I hear the 'oh you don't need to lose anymore' or 'you look fine as you are' comments all the time as so far I've lost 80lbs over the last 6 years.

    It's hard for people to grasp that if you are not happy with yourself you are not happy.... so I've stopped trying to convince them. I call it negative positivity because they are paying you a compliment but by the same token it doesn;t make you feel good as they don't get it and they don't know where your headspace is.

    BUT having said that it is annoyingly frustrating ;)

    I've started going to the gym in my lunchhour too, mainly for the mental aspect and for getting that extra burn.

    So I'm in :D Let's do it gang!

    I am absolutely with you - I’m hoping to loose about 10 more lbs and tone up. If I’m putting all this effort into loosing weight I want to look as nice as possible and that means no more wobbly thighs!

    Now, just to get over the gym fear and ask for help devising a plan! Any suggestions for a 30-60min gym plan for all round toning? Bear in mind that I haven’t been to the gym in ages and fear I may fall over and make a fool of myself the first few times.

    Yes, I too need to lose 15-20 pounds. I'm eating 1200 calories a day, exercising 50-60 minutes a day and not much is happening. Do you all eat back your exercising calories?

    I could have written your post myself! I'm in the same boat...would love to lose 15 and tone up. And I'm so sick of people saying that I look fine, I don't need to diet...etc. Like you said, I'm not happy this way and that's what matters! I'm over 135 pounds, which in my opinion is way too much on my 5'3 medium-sized frame. I don't want to look OKAY, I want to look GOOD. And in my opinion, unless I'm fully clothed, I don't even look okay!

    I'm in as well. I would love to lose another 20ish pounds and tone up. I hate when people tell me that I don't need to lose any weight. I'm 5'3'' and every extra pound shows! I want to be happy with my body, and currently, I am not.

    I would like to lose another ~13lbs and lose more belly flab and upper thigh flab. I'm at 138 right now (5'4"). I'm 34 and I have three kids.

    I run and I'm hoping to run a half marathon this summer before my 35th birthday. I also do a bunch of JM dvds.
