Thank you @Rebecca512787 I'm not sure taller people understand the trouble of distributing weight on a smaller frame. Gaining or losing even 5lbs is so much different on shorter people. And thank you. I'm trying to get in a different mindset as I near my weight goal. I like to focus on things for improvement/goals as it…

Our family Y membership is 59$ a month and they have 2 hours of daycare included a day which is EXACTLY what I needed. No other gyms came close to that where I am at. It is also pretty empty most days(weightroom) and all the different free classes! Love our Y. I wouldn't be where I am today without that place.

@Rebecca512787 great job, 2 lb loss in a week!! I booked marked this thread ages ago when I first started using the forums. I still want to be active in this discussion. :-) it's really nice to see other shorter ladies and their successes and also they understand the struggles of being short. Struggle: when I have said I…

Anemia sticks! I have a friend who has struggled for years with it.

It might be a combination of 2 cups of coffee I sip throughout the day and I just have crazy amounts of energy when I regularly workout. Except when I was overweight, I'm usually not the type to just sit around all day either. I gotta keep moving, especially with 3 kids and a house to take care of. Not that I don't sit and…

That's great will power! Every once in a while the kids want a HappyMeal, when I order I get the grilled artisan chicken sandwich with no sauce, no fries, and a large iced tea. I'm sorta not in love with their burgers. However, five guys is tough. I think I would just get a kids/small burger and deal with the higher…

I have a bad ankle that I have rolled COUNTLESS times in my lifetime. I have never injured it WHILE running. Usually it's when I step off of a step or two wrong. Because I have rolled it so many times my ligaments are trashed. The last time I injured it was halfway through my weight loss thus far) and I took 6 weeks off…

We had a bit of a bum day today, we did go get groceries(all 5 of us). I did my website job today(worked 6 hours) while the hubs played with kids/made food/did housework. Tomorrow we plan on getting the sprinkler and kiddie pool out since it will be hot. I gotta get another 8 hours in with the website job(just a part time…

@am_change thank you :-) I will be forever grateful that I made myself do them ((made my hubs to take them even though he is a giant dork and does his own goofy ones before mine lol gosh I love the turd)). There are some days I can hardly believe where I am at/how far I have come in such a short amount of time. If you had…

Well I didn't make it to 129 by Jun 1. I believe I was still 130.4. I had been holding steady for over a week despite doing pretty darn good. Then yesterday I dropped a whole pound and now this morning June 3rd I am 128. However, I was able to get my 8?minute mile before June 1. :D still really happy with my successes.

@sunny_d22 thank you, glad to inspire. What has helped me a bunch is having a voice coach app that pushes me and tells me when to run, sprint, slow run. I also use Runtastic(gps tracking and it watched elevation as well) to track times and calorie burn and I watch my times as I am running. I have also found I don't just…

Another month down and I am feeling so great. This month I have started giving myself fitness goals to focus on as I am getting closer to my goal weight. And this morning I am ANOTHER pound down from yesterday's weight, so I am sitting at 128. I feel incredible!!

My progress photos. :D I know it's probably not necessary but I am REALLY happy with this month. I may have slowed my loss this month by a whole 3 pounds but I really feel this has been my best month yet. I have really hit some big accomplishments for myself fitness wise and I am feeling fantastic!! I am so happy with my…

Just did monthly progress photos. :D I am so excited by how far I have come and how close I am to my goal. Cheers ladies!! You CAN do this! I seriously started this never believing I could come this far. Just keep moving forward.

@sweatNsmiles thank you so much. The first month I couldn't make myself take a picture. I was in such an unhappy place. Mostly, I was terrified I would take it and then only stick to it for a week or month. Now I am so mad at myself for not sucking it up and just doing it. It's really nice to see the whole progression, how…

Just did my progress photo and now I'm on my way to the gym to sweat(cardio-elliptical and stair mill thing) and going to do my buttlifter before.

June 1st start weight: 130.4 Original start weight jan 2nd was 183. Goal for the month: 125 lbs Originally my end goal was 120 but I…

Weighed myself this morning and I'm 129.4 lbs! 125 here I come!! I also managed a 7minute 50 second mile this last weekend: new goal to have multiple 8 minute miles in one run. I'm not sure how much faster I really need or want to go beyond this. Maybe 7:30 mile but that is probably as far as I'll push myself, anything…
