Help keep me motivated to shed the last of these few pounds! This is the time when I start slacking and the weight creeps back on. I'm am so done with losing these same few pounds over and over again. Show me your pics!!! Tell me your story!!! I don't care if it is a small success either - a success is a success! Seeing everyone else work hard to get to their goal will help me achieve mine. :)

About me: I'm a 5'2", 43 year old wife and mother of two. Since January 2010, I've lost 30 pounds and I'm currently 3 pounds away from reaching my ideal weight (my own personal goal... not what some application told me I should weigh). I feel better than ever and haven't been this fit since my 20's! My motivator, besides my health, was to fit in to a bikini this past April for spring break in Mexico. I achieved that and now I want to make it a STRING BIKINI by April 2012. I have no plans to go back to a one-piece anytime soon, lol!

Mexico - April 2011 (129.0 pounds)

    Thank you oldscratch. That would be great! I'm trying to tone now and get of the belly fat. It gets so frustrating some days and I just need a shot of inspiration to keep moving. :)

    You look great. I would have never guessed you are in your 40s w/ kids (but 40s and fit is fabulous!). Wow this will push me for sure. I am 8 lbs away to be pretty happy and 13 lbs to by psyched!

    Thanks! Wow, being only 13 pounds away from "psyched" is awesome!!! Be sure to post some pics when you get there too. I love seeing everyone's successes. Even in maintenance mode, I still need motivation from time to time. :)
