I haven't had the chance to read through all the posts on here yet, but I am very interested to. Seems like most prefer Canon, I have been using Canons for upwards of 15 years so all my lenses are canon, but am thinking of making the switch and jumping ship to Nikon.....any opinions?

Wow this thread is moving fast... @woods I agree definitely

@pxpwop... definitely, nice eyes..

I am also a mom of 4...and have issues with my stomach but have been working on it. I am finding they are less visible and hoping that my stomach is also shrinking. I am almost finished level2 of 30ds...I will see if I can figure out some pics

Ok... for the end of the summer I would like to put in 40 days of a workout video. This means between July 1 and Aug 31, finish the rest of 30 DS and start and finish another one. Plus July miles challenge, 100km running and 200km biking...or if I run more then so be it, less miles biking. I am working on the C25K program…

ummm....you are smokin!

bump for later

I am totally the same right now with thinking where I could be if I had not always kept stating and stopping. It is frustrating knowing you have been at this point before (even though it was so long ago now I don't remember it) and that now it seems like starting over. This time, we will get through and beyond!

I was actually just thinking about this myself. Glad you posted, but I still have a few days to figure it out! I will be back

Thanks everyone. It was truly one for the record book for me

Those are awesome results...Congratulations!

Just keep doing something. Everyone is different. I tend to sit at a number for a very long time (1-2-3 weeks) and then slowly drop. If you are consistent and serious the inches are coming off. Take pictures because even inches aren't taken at exactly the same spot every time...and well back fat never seems to be measured…

I am totally guilty of weekend issues too! I think anyone with kids is. Or a full time day job, or maybe even evening job. Monday to fridays are routine...once the weekend hits it is all about spontaneity and getting as much or as little done in the time you have. Who wants to make the time to get up early to workout? Or…

I tend to have some of my 1200 calories left over some days, but when I know I am going to go over I don't worry too much about it, as it evens out. I try not to eat back my exercise calories. Right or wrong, I don't know yet. I will figure it out. But if I am not hungry why would I try to stuff myself just because of the…

Thanks for sharing, I will be trying

bump for later, I may just have to post my before in my goal bikini that I bought to use for later when I can post a success story...

Thank you for sharing. Congratulations and it is good to hear that the overhang isn't nearly so bad...that is one of my huge fears, that it won't go away

You are beautiful!!! Inside and out. Great work

Totally do. The tape measure is the best way to see the losses. I am adamant on measuring and taking pictures. No one else ever needs to see or know, but I do and I always have something to go back to. And I do it EVERY TIME I am losing weight. I also go back to see what sizes I was when I started last time, and the time…

This is a fantastic thread to show how amazing we can be. You have done amazing inside and out! Thanks for sharing!

WOW look at you now! You look so happy. Congratulations!

I totally agree. I can not even picture myself in that kind of shape. Perhaps I am underestimating what I am capable of.

Thanks for sharing. It is so discouraging when we put in the time and effort and see the scale go up...then comfort ourselves with the bad foods....not any more!

I know I have been dripping when I work out...so to me it means that something has to be happening!

Awesome job! And 20lbs is a huge difference. We don't always realize how much of a difference even those 5 lbs make, and once we accept that it makes this journey so much more effective!

I totally agree Canada doesn't get the cool stuff. I do like some of the carbonated waters, but I don't find I lose well when I drink them. My fall back on is lemon juice in my water. It makes it tart enough to keep wanting to drink it, therefore I tend to drink more water

Ok, I am going to give this a try. I have never put pics on here other than my profile so hoping it works. I did buy a 'bikini' as a goal and a before...almost even used those pictures. But then realized that really my June goal is to wear these jeans and not have the roll at the top and to not look stuffed into them. So…

Hello..I just finished reading up on everyone and so glad to see so many amazing people in here. My name is Chantelle, I am 42 and have 4 kids, 15, 12,9, 7. I am super busy running with them and up until my littlest was in school always had at least one at home so left very little time for myself. Most of the time my…

What would you like us to do? And how do I know if I am able too? lol
