@AlexEllaK i had my kids two years apart and understand the weight struggles! Check out Instagram_vs_reality on IG and Stephanie Lange on YT. These really helped me realize that it’s ALL fake and they edit everything…no one really looks like they do on IG. These channels were really eye opening. I’ve heard that comparison is the thief of joy…it’s so true and something I’ve dealt with a ton in my life. Let’s try to focus on doing something everyday to be the best version of ourselves and find things to be thankful for. Even the parts we don’t love serve beautiful purposes in our lives… E.g. I’m thankful that my tummy was able to carry two beautiful boys to term. I’m thankful I was able to feed them with my breasts. I’m thankful my legs carry me around and are strong and capable. I’m thankful for my arms that are able to hug my loved ones.5

@TxTiffani thank you so much that is what I needed to here. I’m going to go check out those channels now, hopefully it will help me stop comparing myself to the impossible 🥰4

I still have 26lbs to go but this is a comparison of my highest weight 161lbs (not including pregnancies) in 2020 to exactly 20lbs down 141lbs. Not quite halfway but it helps to celebrate on the way to the big goal🙂29 -

I am on a similar journey - currently 179lb but aiming to be where you are now. How did you achieve it? You look amazing by the way! x13 -

@200Karen never thought of freezing squash to use in a smoothie... how do u like it and how do u make it? the smoothie?
I had half a ruben sandwich for supper and I gained 2 lbs... all that salt.. it will take a couple days for that (water) to disappear2 -
Sore muscles from Wednesday’s trampoline adventure are finally easing so I did a 30min ride on my exercise bike. I skipped exercise th and Fri because I was so stinkin sore! Lol
Went to a bday party for one of my boy’s friends and didn’t feel self conscious at all while I was there! That’s such a nice feeling…so often I would be wondering if anyone notices my weight gain, tugging at my shirt so it didn’t hug my fat too closely and show my bulges, etc. I just felt…confident and that’s such a relief☺️
Weigh in for a weekly group I’m in is tomorrow. I’ve been down on the scale this week and I hope it shows tomorrow since I’ve been up the past two weeks since raising my calories. I’ll update after weigh in↘️🤞🏻7 -
Weekly weigh in was 140.8! That’s my lowest weekly weigh in this year! Woohoo!13

Hi Hayley, I'm 5'1 and my weight is 200lbs this morning. My first goel is 185. Slowly but surely. I am 70 years old and it is a challenge. I've already lost 40 pounds but need to lose more through a healthier diet and EXERCISE. I would like to follow you on your journey. You are an inspiration. Well done.

Welcome @Suelle613 Congratulations on the 40lbs you’ve already lost! That’s no small feat☺️ You are in good company with many other “fun size” ladies working on being the best version of themselves💪🏻😁
I’m not the creator of the thread but I love having other short ladies to share ups and downs with. I feel like we have unique situations compared to taller women😉3 -
I'm 5'2" and 166lbs. I am back to pre pregnancy weight but my goal is to get to 130-135. I haven't seen those numbers since I got married back in 2015. I am going to follow a clean keto diet which incorporates a lot of veggies and IF. I am doing this to be fit for my son and hopefully get pregnant this next year after I get through all of my friends weddings
I also want to start working out again by lifted weights and doing a little cardio here and there. 9 -
I'm 65 years old and 5'3". I've been on my weight lose journey since July 2021 and I've lost 25lbs. I have 15lbs to go. My daughter is getting married in November and I just went to try on dresses for the wedding. I was disappointed that I fit into a size 16 which is the size I was wearing 25lbs ago. My consultant said the sizes run small. I'm sure by November, they'll have to take it in a bit and, of course, shorten it.5

@MarissaJean04 congrats on being back at pre pregnancy weight! I was in the same boat because I was heavier than I wanted to be when I got pregnant…both times…10 & 12 yrs ago LOL but I’m still working on it. I’ll be 40 this summer and this is my year! I can feel it!! It’ll be yours, too! You’ll feel fabulous at the upcoming weddings and be in a fitter healthier body for your next baby☺️
@Cozgirl40 i bet you lose those 15 remaining lbs and feel amazing in your dress! I hate the way they’re sized, but no one will see the size tag except you…they’ll just see how amazing you look in your MOTB dress!!
@200Karen thank you!! I cant wait to break through to the 130s now…I’m SO very close!!4 -
@TxTiffani thank you I can't wait! Taking it one day at a time. 1

@TxTiffani thank you for your kind words. Of course you are right about the size tag. I'm hoping to look amazing lol.2 -
@200Karen i hope y’all had a lovely lunch!
I am doing the right things, but at this moment my body doesn’t want to drop weight. Bouncing 140 to 141 every single day…I just want to get past this hump into the 130s!!! Why is my silly body fighting it?!😅 I’m staying the course…it’s honestly why I like tracking…if I know I’ve tracked honestly and I’m getting my exercise that I will start losing again. I’m able to shrug it off as my body is just doing it’s thing…if I’m doing my part it will eventually do it’s part. Hopefully I’ve got a whoosh coming to reward my steadfastness😄
Hope everyone else had a good end to their week and has a great weekend!!4 -
finally broke through at 139.8 yesterday! Weighed in at 139.6 this morning so it was great to be under two days in a row! I’m working Mon-Wed this week of spring break then me, my hubs, and our two boys are going to Ruidoso, NM for a few days😁 I plan to stay on track because I’m doing really well and have goals to reach before my 40th bday this July! I’m not taking my food scale because we’ll most likely be eating out but I’m decent at eyeballing portions and I’ll make the healthiest choices available💪🏻
@200Karen I think you’re doing wonderful! The last 10-20lbs I’ve heard is the hardest to lose😉9 -
