  • Hi! I just hopped back on after months of not being on this app. In 2015 I lost 55lbs. I had my second child of November 2017 and began losing the weight again until we hit a big life change last year where we moved across the country. Between the stress of that, rebuilding our lives in a new place, new jobs, buying a…

  • Fell of the wagon a bit too. Gained about 8lbs. Started a second job and the lack of time has caused me to not work out as much and I've been eating a lot more than cheating in moderation before. I need to get back on track!
  • I have a 2 year old. I started my journey when she was about 16 months and I have lost 45lbs and reached my goal of 130. Feel free to add me!
  • I would love to join too!
  • Hello! I have lost 44 lbs since January. Feel free to add me! It definitely helps having support!
  • I have my moments. I've become pretty good at recognizing it and getting back on track quickly. I have come so far losing 44lbs. I don't want to go back to where I was. Read some success stories on here. I find that helpful! Also remember why you did this in the first place. Make a note on your phone or on the fridge.…
  • I actually can't send a request through my phone so feel free to add me otherwise when I get to my computer I will try to find you.
  • Hello! I will send you a request. I have lost 44lbs and currently weight 131. Not sure if I will lose more or maintain. I'm just seeing what my body does at this point. My diary is open but just an fyi I log both good and bad. Weekdays are usually much better so weekends you may see some treats in there but hopefully you…
  • I have been dealing with this to. Some days I will look at the mirror and see myself as wide. It helps when I have my husband take a picture of me. Looks much different then what I see in the mirror but it really helps.
  • Its definitely tough! I have a daughter and I work full time. I usually can't get more than 30min in. I do workout videos. We are usually home by 6. I prepare meals ahead of time on the weekends so we heat up left overs during the week which is quick. I usually workout from 7-730 and my husband works out from 730-8 and we…
  • I think I am a good motivator! I will add you. I've lost 37lbs in the last 6 months. I am 3 lbs from my goal and just seeing what happens after that (lose more or maintain). You can do this. The mental part was my biggest roadblock. I could justify any high calorie meal and snack and rationalize why I did not need to…
  • Hello. I am a 25 year old working mother to an almost 2 year old. I made a commitment Dec 27th I was going to make a change at 175lbs. Today I am at a happy and healthy 140lbs with 5 more lbs to go. I have surpassed my pre pregnancy weight and now onto the college weight. Its has been a journey but it is far from over. I…
  • This weekend is mine and my husbands one year anniversary. Tonight we had Chili's take it out and I really enjoyed some of the things I have not had in months. We are going away for the next two days and going out for dinner both nights and doing a wine/beer tour. I've been a little nervous leading up to this because i…
  • Hello! My name is Erin. I am 5'2" and currently 145. I started at 175. I looking to lose about 10 more lbs as well. I will send a request!
  • I am about 10 lbs from my goal and I am experiencing the same thing! Lately weekends have been tricky with showers, parties, family get together, etc. I try to just stick with moderation but i have difficulty passing up the sweets. I am still working out regularly and maintaining but I want to get back that self control I…
  • I would like to join! I've lost 30lbs and have 10 more to go!
  • I graduated high school at 135. Fast forward 7 years later and I topped the scales at 210 when I went to deliver my daughter. After I had her I went down to about 186 and stayed there for a bit. When my daughter was about 5 months old I started ripped in 30 and tried to watch what I eat and got down to 171 and for about a…
  • I was sick and tired of yo-yo dieting and losing the same 5lbs over and over. I never stuck to anything more than a few days and gave up on most exercise regimens after about a week and a half. When I would see pictures posted of me by others on facebook I realized how big I actually was. In addition to my personal…
  • I am 25 and live in Chicago. I've been going strong for 57 days but always looking for motivation and support to keep it up!
  • I am down 3lbs so far and total of 4.5 inches lost. I have been pretty good about staying in my calories but want to start including some cleaner foods into my diet.

  • I'm not very good with consistent measurements but I have lost 2 lbs and about 2 inches off my hips. My clothes are fitting much better and a few pairs of my work pants are even becoming loose.

  • Here are my whys: 1. Set a positive example for my family, especially my daughter. (I did not grow up in a household where healthy eating and exercise occurred) 2. Increase my energy and mood. 3. To feel more confident. 4. To fit into a couple of tops that have been hanging in my closet since my skinnier college days and…
  • I fell a day behind due to not working out Wednesday I was just exhausted. I did this workout on last night (Friday) and it kicked my butt. I don't know what the deal was but I felt like I just wanted to give up. I pushed through though and did the best I could. Today I feel amazing and I am ready to conquer week 3 day 5!
  • I use 3s and 5s. I am trying to start with 5s but sometimes I have to switch out to the 3s. Tonight kicked my butt but I think i did well with the workout.
  • I struggled too with workout 3 too. The tricep dips in the crab position and some of the yoga moves. There was a few spots where I just had to pause and catch my breath for 10 seconds. Felt awesome after though!
  • Last week was a challenge. We had terrible weather here causing my schedule to be off due extra driving time. I ended up not working out Thursday or Friday. I caught up over the weekend but it is definitely hard when there is a lot going on and probably one of my biggest reasons why I would completely give up in the past.…
  • I fell behind by a day. I had long days Thursday and Friday. I am planning to do workout 1 tonight and workout 2 and cardio tomorrow so I will be back on track. Still sticking to my calories though except went slightly over when I went to a paint night event with my mom.
  • Week 2 day 3 done. I struggled to get through the DVD. The suicides are still so difficult and the exercise right before kills my arms. Feeling great though!
