I just realized I didn't introduce myself on this thread. I'm a married mother of 5 kids. 3 girls (ages: 2, 12 & 16) and 2 boys (ages: 5 & 8). I'm also a part time nanny to three little ones. My goal is to lose these extra 30ish pounds my 5 pregnancies have left me with. I'm currently 167lbs, I would love to be 135, which…

I am officially starting the challenge today. I was going to start last week, but I threw my back out trying to empty our kiddie pool, ugh. Not sure why I thought I could flip over a pool full of water by myself!! Anyways, my back is feeling better, almost 100% again. I'm going to start back with T25 tonight. I did it for…

Starting: 168 Current: 167 Challenge goal: 148 Ultimate goal: 135

My two oldest daughters are competitive dancers too! We are heading to Providence RI on Friday for Nationals!! :)

Thanks Esther! 5 kids is definitely a handful, but I love it!! I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, and sticking with this challenge!

Hi, I would love to join this group. I'm a Mom to 5 kids, ages 2-16. I really need to get back in shape now that I'm done having babies. I want to lose 30 - 35lbs total. Losing 20 by Thanksgiving seems totally doable....I hope!! I could really use motivational friends. I'm starting my challenge today! Good luck to…

Hi, I would love to have some motivational friends too! I'm a 35 year old Mom to 5 kids, ages 2 - 16. I have 30lbs to lose. I really struggle to stick with exercise. I can do good for like 2 weeks, then I just stop. I'm really hoping to start this week and stick with it for good. I always find that after I get into a good…

I'm finally starting to feel very motivated. Probably because it's so warm outside now. I can no longer hide under sweatshirts. I'm not sure I'll be able to lose 20 pounds by July 4th, since I've only lost 2 so far....but if I can get down to 150 by then (currently 163) I would be thrilled! Then I just need to get down to…

Week 1: 165lbs Week 5: 163lbs Not as much progress as I would like, but I'm finally feeling motivated! Hopefully I'll see more than a 1 pound loss for next Monday. I've been doing 30 day shred for a week now, it kicks my butt, but I really feel like it's working!!

Starting weight: 165 End of week 3: 164 I really need to get my act together for the next 10 weeks, not sure why I've been slacking off these past 3 weeks. I want nothing more than to shed this extra 30lbs my 5 pregnancies have left on me. Yesterday I started 30 Day Shred, and I am sooo sore!! But that's a good thing!…

That is a great idea! I think I'm going to do this, I have been struggling so much with finding motivation. :(

Week 3, day 2: stayed under my 1250 calorie goal and did great with my evening workout...Treadmill + Zumba + sit ups = 580 calories burned!! Yay!! If I could just burn that much everyday....

Started at 165 Last Monday: 164 Today: 164 I have not been doing very good with healthy eating, I'm staying under my calorie goal (most days) but not necessarily with healthy food choices. I'm such an emotional eater, so when I get stressed out taking care of my 5 kids I just want sweets. I really need to find a different…

Has anyone ever done a tea detox? Did you like it? Did it help with bloat and weight loss?

Trying to get my exercise in everyday is tricky, but I'm trying to stay motivated. I was looking into doing a tea detox in addition to eating less and exercising.... Has anyone ever done a tea-tox? Is it worth it? I would love to get rid of bloating around my waist.

Week 2 day 3, after a stressful weekend I'm back to the exercise routine. I started doing T25 again yesterday, I did it 5-6 times a week last fall for about a month and I lost 7lbs, then I slacked off thru the holidays and the 7lbs came back. So I'm hoping I can stick with it this time.

I had a super busy weekend at my daughters' dance competition, so I wasn't able to fit in any exercise. But we were too busy to eat much, so at least I stayed under my calorie goal! I'm feeling very motivated this week and I'm hoping to see a big difference on the scale by next Monday!!

Down 1lb. from last Monday, I think it would have been more but I'm bloated from PMS today. Hopefully I'll be down 2-3 more lbs by next Monday!

Day 3, I did good staying under my 1250 calories goal for the day ...but was too tired and stressed at the end of the day to hit the treadmill. I really wish I would have just forced myself to do it, I need to work on that! Today I'm super busy again, but feeling motivated, just have to squeeze in some exercise at some…

Day 2, I did good with staying under my calorie goal, and I burned 360 calories speed walking on the treadmill for 40 mins...yay!! Tomorrow I will hopefully have time for Zumba and sit-ups too.

Day 1, I stayed under my calorie goal, and I'm trying to make healthier food choices. I did the treadmill for 30 minutes in the afternoon when I got out of work and while the older kids were still at school. I was planning to do Zumba after they were all asleep, but I was too tired. Taking care of 5 kids, with little help…

Start weight today: 165 Goal weight for July 4th: 145

Very excited to start this challenge! I'm looking forward to getting motivation and support from this group. Good Luck everyone! :)
