How long have you been actively trying to lose weight (...this time)?

Why do you think you have failed losing weight on the past?

Do you have home gym equipment, go to the gym, or just use videos or apps/online programs for exercise?

Are you married?

Planning more pregnancies?

    Just since yesterday but on and off really since the last couple of weeks of pregnancy (baby is almost 8 weeks)

    Why do you think you have failed losing weight on the past?
    I usually fail because I have one bad day and it tastes so good that I want more bad days...

    Do you have home gym equipment, go to the gym, or just use videos or apps/online programs for exercise?
    have an elliptical and a bowflex in my basement and a pool and live near Shenandoah National park so lots of trails to choose from.

    Are you married?
    I have been married for almost 6 years.

    Planning more pregnancies?
    I would have more mainly because I like being pregnant and have had it so easy, by my husband is older than I am and has another child and wants no more of this baby thing (he is really good with the kids though) and is getting clipped not month. Sad.

    I started in March 2013 and had lost a good chunk of weight, but then our wedding, honeymoon and Christmas happened, so I gained some back :(

    Why do you think you have failed losing weight in the past?
    I just gave up and was tired of counting - plus there were a lot of stressors (trying for baby #2 right now)

    Do you have home gym equipment, go to the gym, or just use videos or apps/online programs for exercise?
    I just bought CIZE from Beachbody and am doing the 8wk program that comes with it. I'm loving it so far :)

    Are you married?
    Yup, going to be a year on September 27th.

    Planning more pregnancies?
    Yup, currently trying for #2

    Two weeks.

    Why do you think you have failed losing weight on the past?

    Eh, boredom and getting "close enough". Also just not having motivation.

    Do you have home gym equipment, go to the gym, or just use videos or apps/online programs for exercise?

    Videos and a couple light dumbbells.

    Are you married?

    Yep!

    Planning more pregnancies?

    Someday. Not now. :)

    This is also my 3rd. This time I have been trying to lose weight for a whopping 2 weeks.
    I have failed losing weight in the past because I always fall back to horrible eating patterns and laziness.
    I do workouts off of youtube and pinterest.
    Married-ish. We are currently seperated. No more plans of kids.

    I've been losing since my baby was 3 weeks old. I started tracking again on MFP (logged until I went a few days overdue, so had a 4 week break) and exercised from 6.5 weeks post partum. I exercised until 38 weeks pregnant.

    I haven't failed losing weight. I've always lost when I've put the effort in. I find if I exercise then I don't have to do much else, as I generally eat pretty healthily and always have done. I just gain in pregnancy real easily.

    I go to the gym, and do a circuits class which is separate from my gym too.

    I'm married, we've been married 7 years now.

    I'm 37 so I doubt we'll have more. I'd love to have another, but I don't think I want to become a mum again at 39/40.

    This time about two days...

    Why do you think you have failed losing weight on the past?

    Pretty much everything in life I'm good for about two weeks and then slip back into old habits.


    Do you have home gym equipment, go to the gym, or just use videos or apps/online programs for exercise?

    I have turbo fire, brazillian butt lift, and hip hop abs just depends on what mood im in (:

    Are you married?

    Im in.a committed relationship of nine years and dont ever plan on marriage. Just not my thing. He agrees (:

    Planning more pregnancies?

    Just took a -negative- test today. Something just felt off so thought I would check. Hopefully baby 2 comes when my girl is at least two years old (:

    I've been actively trying to lose weight for 3 days.

    I've tried to lose weight in the past but failed because I always put exercise and eating healthy last. I also haven't quite figured out how to stay positive and diet so I tend to be very critical of myself and I honestly get tired of that voice because otherwise I'm a very positive person. Kind of a id rather be fat and happy than skinny and unhappy. :-) I'm hoping being a group with other positive moms will be the difference maker this time.

    I like to go to the gym for yoga classes. I also like waking outside. I even liked a spin class I took. Kicked my butt but felt like over time it would be a class I enjoyed.

    I'm married for 5 years

    I'm 37 but we are still in discussions on having one more. We will decide next year. Either way, I'd like to lose at least 75 pounds by this time next year.
