Late afternoon all. Getting ready for work here - closing shift. Bringing my fruit with me to ward off the goodies I know are going to waft their temptation my way.

Struggling today...not with food,but attitude. My own of course. I'm Ms. Snarky pants lately and I really shouldn't be. And I can't remember if I took my darn probiotic again today. *sigh, I need Calgon. Or sunshine and warmth. Both? Have a great evening middle agers, I'll be working a quick close. ;)

Good mornin' all.. an aching day today; my evening shift of the double yesterday got the better of me. Another double today and I'm starting it with a fruit smoothie. I ran out of yogurt though..THAT hasn't happened in forever. Feel free to add away, I'm not the best logger in the food department (still a work in progress)…

Pulled back out the 10-minute HIIT abs video this morning. I made it through 5 minutes before I died on the ground. I'll take it for now. Short term goal= getting through the whole thing and NOT dying. Have a great day fellow middle agers

I lost a back roll.. totally did. I was scared it wasn't true so I made another woman at the gym check it out, then I snapped a pic because I was so excited =D

40 years young and looking for additional support/motivation. I'm not the best food logger- working on improving that, but I'm on the right track. Feel free to add me as well!

Great job so far- those aren't just baby steps, they're leaps into a better you. Side note for those afraid of, or worried about the gym- I worked at a gym and honestly no one there is judging you! The workers are happy to see you come in, and other gym goers are secretly watching your progress and giving you props in…

I am SO VERY SORRY you had to see any of that. Your hard work shows, which of course brings out the jellies. Thank you for the heads up, because I didn't know my pics were going to a public gallery!

I have the slowest moving scale in history. (In my opinion.) However, I've lost inches upon inches. So I only look at that scale once a week, and pay more attention to my activity levels, inches lost, and overall health. Some of us just lose it totally slow.

This is an amazing transformation!!

I touched my arm last night and felt honest to goodness muscles!! I had to touch it again. Which then turned me to touching the other arm...then I ran into my son's room and yelled at him to touch my biceps! Hahahaha... They aren't big, but they're mine. And it's something I haven't had in years.

Single mother, work two jobs...I make it to the gym 4-5 days a week. I go in the early morning, I go after one job before the other, I even go after BOTH jobs. Can't do that? Go to the park, take a hike, climb rocks, etc...an 8-year old healthy boy needs that, just as much as you. You can do this if you want, honest.

Looking for new/more friends myself. I'm a daily logger, very active, and totally ready to not be that overweight out of shape empty nester!

I'm you nearly 20 years later and I'm telling you, NOW is the time to start. Start small, stick with it, but start! You think you hurt now? Wait until you're 20 years older and still that weight, or heavier. I've been there. I was the fat kid in junior high. Then I got skinny, I mean super skinny. Stayed that way for…

You look great- and happier!!

I curse worse than a drunken sailor when I drive because I cannot stand people who don't follow the simple rules of the road. Non-blinker users make me stabby.

I'm in! Apr 2- 2526 steps (I was sick today but still counted)

Still looking for more active friends. I log daily, no matter what I have. So far this has been great with the motivating people I've already found.

I truly love these picture stories- they help so much!!

Not only do I work out at a gym, but I work in one (I just totally sounded like an infomercial), and I see this all the time. People get mad because someone takes too long on a machine, or use their favorite treadmill. I even have a regular that will ask me to tell a new member to move, I never do, but it's amazing that he…

Hit The Gym

Migraines are the devil- I hope you get relief soon. *sending healing thoughts your way.

I'm an almost 40-er, almost empty nester, and going to be a grandma in the fall...It would be lovely to have similar people to chat/motivate with.

Originally from NE Ohio, then Northern California, now NW Ohio... I miss mountains.

The ability to eat a decent breakfast.

Ready to get this going too~ I'd love friends that need a boost in motivation at times too.

It's amazing how much I can see myself in these responses. I took my 'Before' pics this morning. I didn't cry, but I did get really angry. How the blue hell did I NOT see myself getting bigger again, like what kind of rose-colored blinders was I wearing?! I appreciate you all sharing.
