    You can do it! How are you liking C25K? I love it! That is what got me through my 1st 5k. I have never been a runner prior to that app.

    I am a mommy of 2 babies (Laci - almost 2.5 yrs old and Carson - 10 months old). My SW was 194, and my CW is 154. My goal weight as of now is 140 (14 more lbs to go). I have been on this journey for 7 months now, and it is hard to believe that I am 3/4 of the way there. My goal for this month is to start C25K and stick with it. A friend of mine and myself are going to run a 5K in Oct for Breast Cancer. I also have my high school reunion in June, and I would like to be 145 at that point. If I can't do that, I hope to atleast be in the 40's. My weight loss is slowing down, so I don't lose as much every week which is normal. This is a great thread!!!

    I am a mommy of five boys 14,12,11,10 and 5. I really want to lose my weight and be thin again. My goal right now is to add more exercise every week. I recently purchased a treadmill and have not been on it as much as I should. I am trying to motivate myself to use it at least 3 days a week right now even if it is only for 15 to 20 minutes it is a start, then hoping in time to go on longer and or more days.

    Hey, I'm a mommy on a mission. I have a daughter who's 10 and a son who's 8. I've been hovering around 165 for about 2-3 weeks now, so annoying. I'm hope to be in the 150s by the end of the month. My ultimate goal is to be around 135 by my birthday in July. Think I can do it? I could use the encouragement. Mommies on a mission, Woo-hoo!!

    Great job on the loss this far! That is a huge accomplishment!
    I just started Zig/Zagging my calories. I've heard it helps bust through the weight loss plateau, so I'm giving it a shot for 1month to see what happens! Let me know if you're interested in the info!

    Motivation is what gets you started, Habit is what keeps you going.

    Tell yourself this everyday, several times a day! You can do it!!

    I just started Zig/Zagging my calories on monday. I have been on a weight loss plateau for over a month now. The inches are going but not the weight.
    I've done LOTS of reading on forums and it seems like the Zig/Zagging has helped lots of people.


    Here is the link to figure out your specific calories.

    I am doing Turbojam by Chalene Johnson, and it is an amazing workout (if you need something new). I actually have zig-zagged my calories twice already, and I will probably have to do it again when I hit another plateau ( my guess is when I get closer to 140's). I usually hit a plateau every time I change. It really does work (from personal experience). 30-day shred is a good workout too (had great results with it).

    I'm a Momma on a mission too;) I have a daughter who will be two next month. My start weight was 180 on Jan 15 and I am down to 153 now. I currently have my goal set to 140 but when I reach that I'll reassess, I may end up pushing it out to 130, just to challenge myself(: I haven't done much as far as exercising goes, but I am starting c25k next week with a friend. (I actually gave it a trial run last night just to see if I could run for a whole minute at a time..whew, can you say out of shape!) Great thread!!

    I am a mom to a 1 year old girl that is my everything. She is one of my main reasons for getting into shape because I want to be around for a long time for her and to give her a example of living fit and healthy. My main stats are in my signature but my main goal is to maintain my weight between 150 - 140 lbs (I wanted to be 150 lbs by my B-Day but it looks like I'm going to have to push it back). I am currently doing Turbo Fire which is so much fun and it keeps me going. One of my future goals is when I'm done with Turbo Fire, I want to start start a hybrid schedule of Turbo Fire and P90X (my husband does this one).........I know, it's crazy but I want to see if I can push myself even further.

    I'm a Mama on a mission. I have a 5 month old daughter.
    I'd love to weigh around 125, that means 40lbs to lose. I really need to stay motivated!
