I'm making a point to make realistic goals for myself, so I'm going to say 15 pounds in the 15 weeks. That'll take me from 158 (est.-I've been avoiding my scale, so it could be less or more-I'll weigh right before this challenge starts) to 145. I'm also setting a goal of practicing yoga 7 times a week (5 days of weight…

Wow, thanks for all of that input, everyone! I'd really like to start power yoga, my fit sister-in-law (whom also attends the same regular yoga class as I do) has started that recently and says it kicks her butt. I'll check out some reccomendations I saw on here. :D

Heyo! I have an 18 month old daughter, and while my stomache has always been my 'problem area' (even when i was underweight in highschool at 100 lbs) now it just 'hangs'. In fact I kinda miss having just that SLIGHT pooch that I used to gripe about so much. Just no more hanging, please!

Becoming out of breath after a flight of stairs...at 21, that's preeetty embarrassing!

I'm a big fan of Dev and The Cataracts lately. :D

I did Tae Bo (Billy Blanks) a looong time ago. They're fun, good for people like me with ADD. xD But that was a while ago when I was more in shape... The Zumba DVDs are fun, a bit hard to keep up with if you're really out of shape, just go at your own pace! I feel a little silly when I do them, but I just wait till the…

Thanks, everyone! I find myself making the excuse of, "Well, it's not as beneficial as morning workouts, so what's the point?" but I need to get my *kitten* into gear on a regular schedule. >:O

I'm in!

Where do you all have the most problem areas? Most short women I know that are trying to lose weight say their stomach....I get really jealous of super tall friends that even have babies and a month later-ploop-flat tummy! Even when I was skinny (110) I had a little 'pot belly', but now, post-baby, SHAZOO....okay, maybe…

HAHA! Oh I'm so glad to hear someone else say that...especially when it's usually obese women that say that...you can't be a small-framed woman, get fat, then start saying that! WHAT IS THAT! ...I also think it's insulting to naturally thin women. ><

5'2, here. :D Anyone else have chunky calves? Even when I was younger and fit I had 'muscular calves'...I hated them at the time, but looking back, I kinda miss 'em. Now they're just flabby. Bleeeh.

Totally agree. When I was a teenager I wanted to be 'skinny', so I became skinny, easily--I quit eating. I felt so weak and grumpy all the time I really missed out on a lot. Now of course I'm overweight, but I want to be FIT! I want to be able to run at the drop of a hat, chase my kid all over the place, go hiking for fun…

THANK YOU!

Wow! You look great! Keep goin, girl, whatever you're doin' is WORKING!

Darnit, how do you post pictures...

I like this one (and the other ads that are within this campaign) because it reminds me that I want to be FIT, not just SKINNY (as was my previous goal that caused so much frustration and unhealthy habits as a teenager)

Hypnotherapy? Sounds interesting. I would love that. >:]

Wish I could see, but wow, congrats! I hope to do Insanity one day, it looks like a really awesome workout!

LOL I love this, "I'm not giving up my dinner" paired with your profile pic...it looks like you're ready to fend off the chocolate with violence. But, seriously, this is a good idea, personally I'm afraid I'd go nuts with it but it might work for others! Kudos to you!

I just got this PM I thought was really helpful I'd like to share from complete_angel Hi ok first I am sending you a PM not because I am crazy or creepy but because I am not allowed to post in the forums right now. Long story. Anyway, I had/have a severe addiction to soda. I would drink a minimum of 6 a day and it was…

THIS is so true! I find if I'm offered a high-quality chocolate, I truly enjoy it slowly, and I'm good with 1, MAYBE 2 pieces, but if it's cheap sugary stuff I go nuts with it!

Choco covered raisins are AMAAAZING...thanks for this, though. I know I can do this, I just have to find the right attitude.

That's a very good thought. Problem is, they purposefully take off the ingredients on the 'fun size' pouches. But I think if I can focus on how I'll feel adding in to MFP later, I'll be less likely to eat it. Thanks!

I hope I can get to this point. I always think, "I'll just have one piece..." but the second I have that one little taste I am going crazy to get more. I feel like a drug addict...

Great idea!

Hi, there! Tulsan, non sports fan (GASP!!), whatsup?

WOW! So inspirational. Btw, I love your dress in the last photo!

Thanks, I'm packing lots of veggie snackies for tonight. Smoothies are soooo yummy but I have no way of making them there or taking them with me. (we only have a mini-fridge in our break room). Thanks for the tips!

It does, thanks! I'm sending you a friend request, accept if you like-we have similar stats. :]
