Hi, I am a 19 year old mother and I am in school full time, majoring in pharmacy. I have lost about 15 pounds so far, but still have about 80-90 I want to lose. I can relate to a lot of things you said. I gained 80 pounds while I was pregnant, and the pounds decided to stick around. I love this site, because it makes it so…

SW: 240.0 CW: 225.8 GW: 140ish (I'll figure it out when I get close) Height: 5'6" Age: 19 Engaged, mother of a 20 month old son, and full-time college student.

Jillian Michael's Dvds are good, take about 20 minutes, and they are only $10 at Walmart. You can do that while your baby is sleeping. Also, there are apps on iPhones/iPods and Smartphones that are free if you want to do that, but I find it's easier to go along with a Dvd because sometimes I am not motivated.

I started it on the 1st, but I'll join your group too. =)

I am a SAHM but I am also going to college full-time. My son is 20 months today-ish (the 4th).

My fiance kind of rolled his eyes at first but didn't mind it, and now I have an account for him too because he saw I was losing weight and wanted to also. =)

I would love to know this too! I must have 0 arm strength because I fall too! Lol. How do you do them on the wall?

My "cheat day" is when I eat something I wouldn't, but I still don't go over my calories. For example, I normally don't go out to eat, but on my cheat day, I will. That day, I usually eat less before hand, or less calories to save up for my "cheat meal" or work out more that day.

I put it in the "circuit training; general" too until I get my HRM

That's what I did, but I used an online converter to get the measurements. I just googled cm to inches. I am American and normally use inches, but I measured in cm because I feel it is more accurate.

The only reason I would burn calories looking at your picture is becasue my hatred for the JETS (ew!!) would cause me to frown and frowing takes more energy than smiling.

Happy New Years to everyone, and congrats to all! Even 1 pound lost is better than a gain. =) I hope all of you have success on the rest of your weight loss journey!

Welcome to everyone that just joined! As people have been saying, drink a lot of water, add motivational friends, and if you feel up to it, you should join a challenge. There are lots of challenges and I love them because they keep me focused. Also, log everything you eat into your diary, even if it makes you go over. You…

I work out at night, and I have no problem with it. Go for it!

When I started, I wasn't able to do even 3 minutes. Now, I am able to do 20-25 minutes, but I am extremely exhausted afterwards. Aim low at first.

It was 4 pounds, not kg. Pounds are smaller than kg so it's about 1.8 kg, but I still agree it's probably water.

3lb

Welcome to MFP and Happy New Year! I am from PA too, but the north-eastern part. You can add me if you like. =)

My fiance is working until 11pm so hopefully he will get home just in time. I am here with my son trying to relax for the new year.

Do you really love him or just miss him? I thought I loved my first two boyfriends, but once I moved on and dated someone else, I forgot all about them. I found out I really didn't love them at all. If you end up with someone else, but still think about him, then it may be different. Now, you might just be lonely.

I only lost 13 pounds so far, but it definatley has given me a lot more confidence!

I agree. For the past 3 years or so, I have barely left my house at all unless it involves going to the gym or college. My fiance is usually the one that goes shopping for us. This is not because I am controlling him or he is controlling me, but because I don't want to go out anywhere because I am self-consious. It sounds…

I am using 3 lbs. I bought the 30DS mat and weight set and that is what came with it. It's good for me because I have NO arm strength at all! =)

Today I weighed in at 227.4 pounds again, so I stayed the same for the past two days which is better than gaining I guess. So at the end of the challenge, I lost a total of 10.0 pounds. =)

I can no longer read this topic. I was trying to not laugh histarically because I look strange when I do that, so I tried to drink some water to keep it down. Then I saw the "fidget a lot while you are at the movies" and I just lost it and choked on my water. Not only am I laughing like a weirdo, I am also choking to death…

I hate exercising around anyone else either. I wait until it is just me and my son at home, then I work out. You could always sneak little things in, like 20 jumping jacks while no one is in the room or squats. Offer to do laundry and do squats while doing that. When going to the bathroom during the day, do little…

Well, she isn't one of my friends on here, but I look her up when I want to show anyone the results you can get from this site... CoryIda.

I made her 51 calorie snickerdoodles for Christmas on the Tuesday before-hand, and they were gone within two days, so I had to make another batch for Christmas on Christmas Eve. That batch was gone the day after Christmas. None of my family are on "diets" or eating healthy at all what-so-ever, and they loved them! I…
