I'm a 33 (almost 34!) year old mom of a 3 1/2 year old and 9 month old. I have slowly gained weight as an adult and with each major life event I was 10 pounds heavier (finishing school, passing my professional exam, meeting my husband, getting married, baby 1, miscarriage, baby 2) At my heaviest with baby on board I was…

Hello hello! Today my mirror showed me a face that looks slimmer than my old driver's license, which is good because it is time to renew mine!

6:00 wake up & stumble to shower (after hitting a snooze on the alarm that goes off at 5:50) 6:30 dressed, make-up, hair and nudge husband out of bed as I flip on lights and the local news 6:45 wake baby and dress for daycare, feed if fussy 7:00 wake toddler and begin battle of picking clothes that somewhat match, brushing…

Great job! I too bought a two piece recently. I haven't worn one since I've been pregnant my babies - so about 4 years now. I decided to ignore my stretch marks and the pounds left I want to lose, and just do it because I know it will feel good. I purchased that suit with a smile and can't wait to wear it!

I just sent you a friend invite. I TOTALLY understand the struggle! I am a working mom with two little ones and it is SO hard sometimes to find time and energy to be healthy. I've found that I just have to adapt a "do what I can" attitude and accept that I just may not be able to be "perfect" these days. I can't always…

I like to have some pre-made salads in the fridge to grab with a healthy dressing option. Apples are easy to keep in there too (and if I'm not hungry enough to want an apple, am I really that hungry?) I also like popcorn, cucumbers/hummus, a brothy soup, green beans, string cheese, a small piece of chocolate (for sweet…

When I'm in my car I just listen to today's pop hit stations. But on the treadmill I kick it up a notch and I like a really fast beat - Marshmello, Avicii, David Guetta, R3hab, Dimitri Vegas, Deadmau5.

I am always rushing around like a crazy person to get me and the kiddos ready for the day. If I have time I like to scramble an egg and put some salsa on top to spice it up. If I don't have time I grab a boiled egg that I pre-boil every weekend. If I don't have eggs, I usually do a little peanut butter on a toasted whole…

My next mini goal - to weigh what I did on my wedding day. 11 pounds to go! After that - to weigh what I did when my husband and I got engaged - 10 more pounds below that!

This currently isn't me, but I am excited to be in this spot someday. CONGRATS on hitting your goals and I wish you the very best of luck with your maintenance plan! You are an inspiration!

Breakfast: Coffee w/ Sugar and an Egg Lunch: Turkey Pita w/ slice of gouda cheese, Spinach Salad with tomato and light catalina/ranch dressing Dinner: Leftover turkey tacos Snack: maybe a glass of wine after dinner if I have calories to spare

TOTALLY :-) I save some of my calories for wine and it is such a reality check to pour what a "glass" actually is! I need to buy smaller wine glasses so they look more full!
-
Logging what I eat and trying to stay within my calorie allowances - it has been eye opening. I've also had a goal to try and hit 2 hours of total workout time in a week - even if at 10 minute workout increments. My next small change I want to make - not drinking on regular weeknights, saving it for weekends/special…

What has worked for me is to simply stick with my plan. It is so much easier said than done sometimes! I understand what the healthy choice is in front of me, but that doesn't mean I always want to make them! Just climbing on that treadmill when unmotivated, or portioning out my food properly, or tracking my food honestly…
