in Challenges
Hi! I've been up & down in my weight loss journey since I had my first child 3 years ago. After my second, weighing in at 167lbs & 5'4", I'm ready to make a lifetime commitment & I'm looking for some motivation along the way. I'm going for 2lbs down each week for the next ten weeks, & more slowly after that. I think this would be easier with a team. So, add me & comment if you're ready to take on this challenge with me. I'll be posting everyday through out.

    I'm with it. I've been an athlete all of my life. I have been in a cast since December and I've gained so much weight. I've been lifting weights and I am stronger than I have ever been. Now I need to shred it out and get lean. I finally get my cast off Thursday and I'm ready to get after it.

    Try a trial! I began my trial 5 days ago at Anytimefitness and it had done so much good for me! They have a 1 week and 2 week trial and if you sign up for a year membership by friday, you get the 1st month free, plus 3 months free tanning!

    Hey guys, I'm new to the MFP community so I'm having some difficulty figuring out how to reply to everyone & add as friends. But I'm glad we've got plenty of motivation! & if I'm ever tempted to eat something I shouldn't, I'm hoping I can count on you guys to help me through! Lol!

    Ok Guys! Hitting one of my nightly struggles right now! The night time cravings! & this is why I'm also on a quest to get to bed at a reasonable time, but for tonight, I've got to study so I'm going to grab an apple. Let us know if you guys struggle with the night time cravings too! We're all here to help!!!

    My baby is 3 months old too! I had to try on clothes yesterday and it was a quick reminder of how I don't want to feel about myself everytime I need to face a dressing room. :/

    I hate night time cravings! I can go mostly all day without eating, but in the evening that's when the cravings start. I caved last night and had a big Tbsp of chunky peanut butter. At least it was natural! Lol

    My baby is also three months old! And I can't seem to fit half my wardrobe anymore, as I clearly didn't leave much room for weight gain before my babies. Lol! I hate the feeling of trying on something & hating the way I look in it now. So it's time for a change!

    Peanut butter is one of my go-to at nights! So I always make sure i buy the all natural, no sugar added peanut butter so I don't feel bad about it. Lol! & I also try to eat early enough not to get hungry before bed, but of course that doesn't always work out.
