    I would love to join as well...my sisters wedding is October 1st and I would LOVE to be back in my pre-baby favorite jeans. I have decided to stop looking at the scale because I have put on a lot of muscle so I do not think the numbers will be as accurate. I am just going to go by inches (and maybe a once a week scale session) to see if I am having progress...but mainly the way my pants fit.

    I know this sounds terrible but have some terrific meals planned for this evening and tomorrow morning breakfast...but after that it is ON...I will measure/weigh on Monday for my "start" weight and then do it I guess every weekend?

    I am really good on working out but I have been terrible lately on my eating so that will be my biggest challenge - and some good motivation will probably go a long way.

    welcome aboard

    i like the way my clothes are starting to fit its alot more motivating than what my scales are saying not got up the courage for my jeans just yet but i will i may wait for my birthday july 2nd and then get them out and pray they fit so i can look good on my bday

    let me know your target when you weigh or even just the target jeans size/inch loss whichever you prefer its mostly about motivating each other to reach where we want to be and celebrating our victories good luck all of us

    Good morning! I totally agree, weekends go way too fast! I'm about to do my workout for the day. Then I'm doing some homework (I'm in grad school), and going over to my parents' house for a Father's Day cookout. Enjoy what's left of the weekend!!

    good morning id say happy monday but lets face it its the least favourite day of the week lol its that start of early up school run come home mad clean school run home more tidying school run again and then the ttime rush of feed the kids sort there stuff for tomorrow and get babies bathed and ready for bed and in between try to fit in exercise and meal planning lol i love my kids but they make dieting hard work

    this week well i maintained my weight id have loved a loss but seen as i havent been able exercise for 3 days with my calf ill take it the plus side is its only twinging alittle now so hopefully i can get back on track today and tomorrow.


    hope you have a great start to the week looking forward to some great victories from us all this week the sun is shining i have a really good feeling that this will be the week we will see some good things happen :)

    getting fit for october is starting today (for me)

    todays weight/measurements:
    weight = 148.2
    waist = 27"
    hips = 37"
    rthigh = 22"
    lthigh = 22"

    my goal weight/measurements...OR if I fit into my favorite pre-pregnancy jeans before I hit my goal
    weight = 138
    waist = 26"
    hips = (i don't care)
    rthigh = 20"
    lthigh = 20"

    i am hoping with some good eating along with my excercise that i will finally be able to do this. My twins just turned 2 and i still can't fit into half of my jeans and my engagement ring is too small (at least i can wear the wedding band) so here we go
