Plus I was going to add it takes a month for your body to start to see progress. another reason it's a tough journey

Those aren't easy! I'm still working on it! amazing work

Hi. I started this in June a bit heavier than you (225) I turned 32 in July and am 5'5.5 and a mom of 2. I know it's easy to want to be somewhere by a date but you'll get discouraged quickly. I focus on doing what I can to be healthier. My kids work out with me or I do it after they go to bed but the most important is the…

I'm almost the same stats as you but down to 205 right now. One-derland is so close but a few weeks out at least.

Been there! I have a little less to lose but using my kids as motivation to show them a healthy life.

I'm a mommy of a 3 and a 2 year old! I have about 65 more pounds to lose and it's going slow so I'll be around awhile! Good luck

That's how I feel now. It's hard to describe the difference between wanting it and the fire that started! I'm still beginning my journey but this jumped at me the minute I saw it.

me! I have my period set a long time and if I miss a dot I kick myself.

I just hated how I looked and felt that much that I couldn't do it anymore. I hated yo-yoing between 20 pounds I gained and lost 5 times in the last 6 years and knew even that wasn't enough this time. I still struggle occasionally but that fire was lit and it's not going anywhere. Friends on here and even lurking in most…

Yep it's really hard. I only have 2 kids and struggle. I couldn't do it until I really had the motivation. I still struggle a ton but the motivation to never look like this again is what I'm using. It really turned it all around. I know people hate logging foods but it's easy and a no brainer because I want to lose the…

I'm doing one today! it's pretty neat

Good luck to you! it'll work you hard for sure.

Good luck to you! I'm currently on month 2, finishing week 2. For me I did p90x3 and went right into this. So this is my second workout since having 2 kids so I just try to extend my Max out time and do the modifier a little less when I've had to do the modifier. Just do what you can, the program is designed where you are…

I have lots of friends who are US citizens who moved from other places and they were amazed at how big the US is. Especially in Europe when it's easy to drive from one country to another, our states can be considerable sizes. Each state/area can be so distinctive from each other also.

St Paul, Minnesota

Yep. it's really hard. I come from a mathematical family so I'm always doing calculations where I'd be at some point or another. It's hard but I'm focusing everyday on my calories but everyday I do think how long.

I dealt with depression when my daughter turned 1. I always hated my weight but I got to a point of really hating myself and the way I looked. I needed major changes to happen. I saw a therapist and I started running but ate all those calories back. about 3 months ago I said I have to change my eating for life and knew I…

I've done it both ways where I take it or leave it. I've gone to many events where it was understood you took leftovers and some where it was never said. Most hosts I know have so many leftovers they rather people take their food back home. Sometimes we do a bit of take others leftovers and enjoy the bbq food longer.

nachos! then I get chips and cheese.

I cut them out because a serving wasn't helping enough. I did LOVE Life cereal and I liked cinnamon toast crunch.

I have about 70-80 left. I'll be around for awhile

Ready to do this for life! I don't care if I log the rest of my life, I can't look the way I do any longer. I know when I lose weight I can't keep doing what I was and be OK. I know that not eating one bite of something isn't saving me a ton of calories and a hike isn't going to burn the calories of a meal. I had so many…

I weigh everyday but the next day isn't always a reflection of the day before it takes a day or 2 sometimes for a bad day to show up. sometimes you'll have good days and sodium or just a fluctuations will make it go up. Daily weigh ins just help me stay accountable more than once a week.

daily and log a weekly average in MyFitnessPal.

It happens that I go over but I just am more careful about eating. I usually budget a little during the day so I can have a treat after supper if I need it. Light String Cheese usually helps me get over a hunger hump during the day. It's tough but you'll get there!

I've been big for so much of my life. I hit a point where I wanted to be thinner and healthier than eat the way I was. I have 2 kids which made it more important for me so I can play with them and hopefully they will be healthy all their lives. I've been there and you gotta find what you're missing otherwise it's possible…

Plan meals now and start freezing! I was so exhausted with both kids I ate crap that was fast and easy instead of really being healthy. You can cut and freeze fruits now and put them out in the morning or night before in the fridge to eat. If it wasn't an easy open package or took a minute in the microwave I didn't do it.…

I feel like I'm reading my story a bit. I'm motivated by my daily weight tracker that shows I'm trending down. I don't really deprive myself but I prelog as much as possible. I add a ton of fruits, veggies and protein and I'm happier seeing good numbers and feel better. Good luck, sometimes finding that trick helps the…

I'm there. slowly getting to onederland but probably still over a month away. I have a 3 and 2 year old.

I think t25 was a better beginner workout but P90x3 will help get you in good shape and push you. I like listening to Shaun T over Tony Horton but I think I would judge it more where you are in your workout journey
