I'm up at 4:00 or 4:30 (depending on my planned workout). That gets me in the shower by 5:15 and dressed by the time I have to get the kids up. I work full time and am home by around 5:15-5:30. I batch cook on weekends and we do lots of bagged salads/precut veggies. It's hard, but doable.

I'm not currently doing it, but I have beachbody on demand and was just contemplating what to start tomorrow. How do you like it so far?

I have it on Beachbody on demand, but I haven't started yet. Want a buddy?

I'm 5'1 and started my last pregnancy at 175 and was 184 when I gave birth, but I was very closely medically supervised and maintained excellent nutrition. The fact is, you will gain something. Talk to your doctor about your weight and your concerns. My understanding is that obese pregnant women are not encouraged to gain…

You are describing me running! Feel free to add me. I also need to lose 50+ pounds.....again.

Feel free to add me as well! 5'1 and currently in the 180s.

Feel free to add me as well. We have similar stats! I'm 5'1 and 178.

Her reasoning is that the body processes artificial sweetener the same way that it processes sugar-with a release of insulin. According to her, the body "believes" it's consuming sugar. The excess insulin, she says, leads to weight gain. Besides that rudimentary explanation, I haven't inquired more.

Omg! You are my inspiration!

Feel free to add me. I'm a full time working 45 year old mom of 4. My youngest is 3 and my oldest is 14. I lost 60 pounds on here after my youngest was born and then fell off the wagon. Back to try again.

I've had 3 c-sections (and one vaginal delivery) also sweetandsour5979! My youngest just turned 3. I have lots to lose and would love some buddies. Feel free to add me.

Fellow shortie here. I'm 5'1 on a good day, and also starting over. Feel free to add me.

I'm in. Joining the group now...

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but I breastfed all four of my kids (now 14,12,5 and 3) and I couldn't really eat at a calorie deficit and maintain supply. I know conventional wisdom is that the weight melts off if you breastfeed, but that simply was not the case for me at all. I wasn't able to get back…

I have 4 kids (ages 13, 12, 5 and 2) and I'm a very busy trial lawyer. I've been doing the Body By You workouts at home in the early, early morning. I can get in a good 30 minute workout and shower before the rest of the family is up. I also walk with a friend on days that I take a lunch. I love my Fitbit and try to get…

I know this an older post, but OP...what did you think of the program?

Done! 21,464

Just under:( Had to miss my evening jog. But bring on tomorrow.....

Bump

I'm in. I hover around 17-18k per day now so this is great motivation to step it up.

I have kind of a unique perspective on this issue. I'm adopted and, like almost every member of my adopted family, has struggled with my weight most of my life. A few years back I found my birth mother who, in her 60s, does several marathons a year. Everyone in my birth family, as it turns out, is slim and active. So…

Nutrisystem. I cannot begin to describe how foul the food was. I lasted two excruciating weeks.

Yep. Each level is 10 days each.
