Tonight we had dinner with friends of my husband who we haven't seen since New Year's. One of them told me twice how good I looked, sounding genuinely surprised. I felt a little awkward, but it was nice, too.

Ok, I'm in for the full body. (deep breath) I've been starting over after a health set-back, but I need something to help me reboot. Anyone else do theirs first thing in the morning? I think that would be my best bet.

I've always been overweight and felt at odds with my body. I lost some weight for my wedding and got down to around 160 in 2011. I slowly gained some back, got pregnant and kept 10 pounds, gained some with the stress of my job, and got pregnant again. I gained 40 pounds and topped out at 225 with my second pregnancy. My…

Hello, moms! I have a 2 year old son at home and in December 2016 my second son was stillborn at 39 weeks. So I'm working off the baby weight without a baby this time around. I am 5ft 8in and 193lbs at the moment, and I'm aiming to lose another 15-20lbs. I was about 213 when I came home from the hospital. I'm somewhat…

My husband, son and I drove 4 hours to visit family today and instead of stopping somewhere for lunch, I packed healthy hummus pita sandwiches for all three of us! Dinner was less healthy and there was birthday cake, but I didn't give up on the whole day. And my butt hurts from sitting in the car all day! I missed doing…

I feel ya. I have lost 12 lbs since January and my pants are looser, but I still have a hard time seeing where anything is getting smaller. I decided to take my measurements once a month to help me see where it's coming off. Good luck and keep at it!

My husband told me I look skinny when I got dressed to go to the gym this morning! And then I worked out at the gym until I hit my daily step goal.

The power was out at my house yesterday during dinner time, and instead of ordering pizza, I stopped at the grocery store and got dinner from the salad bar.

Way to go! That is a huge challenge for me.

1. Took a Pilates class and then drove to the Y and did 45 minutes on the elliptical! Excited that I could do that much physical activity without then collapsing on the couch. 2. My weight was plateaued for about a week and I didn't get discouraged and pig out like I would have in the past! I kept tracking and working out…

Just realized I can slide my jeans off without unbuttoning them! Scale is moving in the wrong direction, but evidently my body is still changing.

I wanted to click "like" but somehow that doesn't feel right. But I hear you. I don't know how to add people, but if you know how, feel free to add me!

I can close my post-surgery girdle all the way now! I can't work out very much, but by watching my diet I have made progress.

So inspired! Just had a c-section in December and I'm glad to see someone like me starting at over 200 pounds can get great results! I'm using MyFitnessPal and FitBit, too. Just made it to 197 pounds this morning.

My son was stillborn on December 12th, 2016 at 39 weeks. I'm struggling with not wanting to still look pregnant when I'm not (I've been asked if I'm pregnant and it's awful), and wanting to get to a healthy weight before we try to conceive again. Focusing on weight loss gives me something I have some control over and a…
