Exactly 2 months ago today, I started tracking my weight loss. I've lost exactly 20 pounds in 2 months! All together, I've lost 50 pounds since having the baby! I can't believe it! It's crazy how far I have come and how much I've achieved with losing weight and eating better and exercising. It sounds extremely cheesy and cliche, but I swear if I can do it then anyone can. It's never too late to be healthy :)

    Great Job! My sister and I are trying this again. We are watching what we eat, tracking everything on myfitnesspal and trying to motivate each other the best we can since we are in different states. The problem I have is exercising. it is so hard for me to get started. I am an insurance agent so sit at a desk all day so when I get home I am mentally drained and just want to relax. I have been to a weightloss doctor several times but don't want to do that again due to the damage the pills do to the liver and since I am on a strong medication for psoriasis it is definitely not an option. I am hoping a message board like this will help me out as well. I hope everybody has a great day!

    The best advice I could give you is to start slowly! Maybe when you wake up, take a 5 minute walk and then start increasing it when you start feeling better. And portion control really is the key! You could also do some squats at work! Start with just 5 and then start increasing the amount you do :) you could do them at your desk or when you go on break. It's so hard at the beginning and some days you want to throw in the towel, but once you start feeling better on the inside, you'll want to keep pushing yourself:) feel free to add me!
