Sending you a friend request! Been there! :)

I FEEL YOU! I was just complaining to my mom about this on the phone earlier. (I'm Italian, too!) So honestly, I wouldn't want a flat butt like some of my super-skinny friends. But it makes me crazy that I work really hard and watch everything I put into my mouth and I still look like I have two bodies - the Upper Thin…

Born and raised in the Bay Area and now in San Diego! I loooove California!

I'm in! I've been slacking off the past couple weeks and it's already caught up with me.

In! I love these challenges!

What a great husband you have. And way to go, turning to him, for comfort rather than food. Keep it up!

Last night as I was reading stories to my kids, my son squeezed my arm and said, "Mommy, you have big muscles. You're strong."

I agree with the other posters - keep the yummy, sugary treats out of the house and get out of the house as much as you can! I'm a SAHM and have been for nearly 6 years. Go on meetup.com to look for parenting groups, also see if there's a MOPs group in your area (www.mops.org) - it stands for Mothers of Preschoolers - but…

I tried to quote someone and it didn't work (user error) :) But me too! I hate eggs. The way they smell, the consistency, the taste.

I try! I've been doing this for about 2 months and feel LOTS better! (Even though I'm drinking a protein shake as I type...but still...better than a bagel.) Add me if you want and we can motivate each other.

I'm in the same boat this week - it sucks! I keep feeling like I'm about to lose motivation and then I talk myself down off the ledge. But thanks for this thread, you've just reminded me to pour a giant glass of water. :)

Hi! I'm in San Diego, too! You can DO this! Add me as a friend if you'd like.

Great work!! That is amazing and you look wonderful.

Hi everyone! 1) We have two. My son will be six in September and my daughter will be four on Wednesday! 2) Nope, we are done. We were on the fence for a while, and I got pregnant with Baby Surprise one night...but then miscarried at 6 weeks. We realized we are great with what we have! 3) Both pregnancies and deliveries…

This is CHEESY and I can't believe I'm admitting it on a public forum but it gives me motivation... My son's first day of kindergarten is Sept 4. I have a vision of myself walking him to school. He's wearing his new backpack and I'm wearing white skinny jeans and a blue-and-white top. My outfit has to be cute because I'll…

That's awesome! Great work!

Hi Vicky! I would love to have you as a friend on here! I was the same way - on the site for a while - and once I introduced myself and became more active I noticed I was holding myself more accountable. The encouragement I get from my MFP friends is great. :)

Great work!! Two big thumbs up to you.

And thanks to everyone so far who has reached out to me. The support I feel, already, is amazing!

Thanks! I'm tired of being uncomfortable in my own skin. Let's do this!
