  • Well, the weigh in was this morning and was good! I am down 8.4 lbs this first week. I was aiming for 10, but that didn't happen, so now I'm just out to try and "repeat" this week again. I'm going to up my exercise. I don't have a lot of time before and after work (I'm able to work out Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun at home), but…
  • Wow, so many of you have done so well - love reading everyone's stories :)
  • I'll post an update tomorrow since it will be my week 1 weigh in. I've been watching my calories, trying to eat more protein/less carbs and lots of high fiber (killing the stomach though). I've exercised at home on the treadmill 3 days this past week at 35 minutes each time and I've hit the trails during my lunch hour at…
  • @Omma_to_3 - that's awesome - and you look great! Praying that in a year from now I'll be able to look back and have the same success.
  • Thanks ladies. I guess I should have also asked in my first question how often you all are exercising in order to lose that amount of weight? What did you start out doing and for how often? Or was it simply diet at first?
  • Congrats - you look great!
  • suzi73 - 96lbs - that's awesome! And beautiful to boot!
  • Wow Dogo187 - you are doing great!
  • Oh wow. I didn't know you were from New Zealand when I added you! That's awesome...love to make friends in other countries. I lived in Canada with my husband for a couple years (who is Canadian himself) but other than that never really been out of the country. What time is it over there right now? Too lazy too google it,…
  • Thanks Ladies! @Kiwi - I would love if my husband had dinner ready - that would be wonderful! And my weekend is consumed by cleaning too....that's my life right now - work; get kiddos fed, bathed, homework done and into bed; hopefully get some sleep myself; wake up and do it all over again. By the time the weekend comes my…
  • Not an official Canadian, but I'm married to one and I used to live there (New Brunswick) :D Feel free to add me. Would love to help motivate and also need some help myself! Currently living back in my home state of Arkansas.
  • I too am 30 years old and like a couple of the other posters, also felt that your post sounded like something I could have wrote. :) I have way over 100 lbs to lose to get to goal weight. I have 3 young children and sometimes I honestly wonder how I'll find the time to work out each day without sacrificing time with them.…
  • Yes, it helps me a lot. I have had success with losing weight in the past, but none with keeping it off, so here I am at my heaviest ever getting ready to give a go at it again. I have over 100 lbs to lose, so I need some kind of inspiration. I recently bought People magazine's "half their size" edition and I find looking…
