  • I am starting later here but better late then never I suppose. Wine is my crutch I drink one to two glasses a day and am only AF once or twice a week. I would like to take that to 3-4 AF days a week and eventually AF all week days and only have one or two on the weekends. I have a stressful job and am self medicating. I…
  • So many thoughtful replies- I truly thank you all for taking the time to share your tips with me, you have given me some great ideas. Looking forward :)
  • Just wish I could remember how to do friend requests:/
  • This is my problem as well - looking to hit around 18-20lbs working out at home before/after work plus three young kids. Gym is not an option, trying simple excercises I can do at home and trying to keep extra snacks and portion sizes under control. My biggest problem though is my love of wine- empty calories...
  • You rock! The fact that you have someone cutting you down every step of the way and you are still overcoming and doing what's best for you is an inspiration- good for you! Flaunt that beautiful body - you have earned it. You're mother sounds petty and unhappy with herself if she feels the need to speak that way to you,…
  • Looking for some competition with the Fitbit too - just sent you an invite :)
  • Love this - working on adjusting habits...

  • 66 oz for me - good idea. I drank water all the time when I was pregnant but fell off the wagon lately ...
  • Hi all! I have three kids under 5. I run a small business and I'm finally making time to take better care of myself. I want to be a role model for my kids and feel strong for them and for me :) great motivation to have friends with similar goals. Cheers all - to our health!
  • I lost weight during each of my three pregnancies in the first trimester because I wasn't drinking my nightly glass of wine :) that said for me it's not a long term lifestyle choice if I'm going to cut out casual drinks. Plan for it and log it - if you have the calories left have a drink if not - don't.
  • Wow didn't think water was such a hot issue, I find that folks on here know a lot about health fitness and weight (loss/gain/maintain) I really was just interested because folks do mention water and weight loss together on this site often- thought I was missing something. I don't know much but am learning, thanks for those…
  • I'm in trying to hit 140 by my 40th birthday right before the new year. I'm at 155 today (from 163) and 5'6". After having three kids those extra pounds show more than they used to! Motivation and weekly weigh in's sound great!
  • Thank you! What great support and ideas! I think the best part is seeing that others are doing it and making it work :) the thing I keep reading is YouTube or treadmill at home - 5 of us live in 900sqft so that's not an option but the 5 am workout sounds like the next best bet. I also liked the idea of taking the kids to a…
  • Don't feel defeated you're here right? That's the first step - cheers girl!
