I am NOT a morning person at all!! I started a class about 15 months ago that got me up and going at 5:30. (A holiday boot camp) The class was over after 6 weeks. But there was a normal class that met at the same time. The teacher extended an invitation and they became my people. Without them, I wouldn't show up. Find a…

Hi all, I am 33 creeping closer to 34. :smile: I don't have a lot of weight to lose, I'd love to lose 15 but I think my realistic number is 7. To some that doesn't seem like a lot but I have been trying to lose these pounds for about 2 years. It isn't easy. I need all the help that I can get. The age thing has totally…

Starting weight : 134.6 Current weight : 134.6 October goal : 130 Ultimate goal : 125 October 1st : October 8th: October 15th : October 22nd : October 29th : Total loss for October :

I felt really good running the whole way. I ran in town (small town) and there wasn't a lot of breeze so it got a little warm but not bad. Now to hydrate! Thanks for the input everyone!

"Goals are individual, not universal. Just because someone can run farther, lift heavier, go longer, doesn't mean your effort isn't valid. So work hard for you and your own goals. Progress will come."

I have watched from almost the beginning and every time is see your progress I am in awe! You are such a wonderful inspiration. I started lifting because of you! I can't wait to see where you are a year from now! Competitions and a lot less of you I am sure. Keep it up MsSquat!

Way to go!! A little competition between spouses never hurt anyone. :smiley: Keep it going!

Thanks everyone! I will probably wait a couple of weeks before I make my purchase! Happy running, all!

As a child who was never overweight but worried far too much about it, I agree this would be a bad thing. We have a daughter who is similar to what you explain! She is 10 almost 11. She too loves food. We try our best to keep her active in things she is interested in. Sports may not be her thing but she love to swim so we…

I celebrate even .5 pound! 3 is awesome! Don't think 'only' 3, think YES 3!!!! way to go!

I suggest sharing services with a friend. Get a friend to come over 3 times a week to workout with you. It will keep you motivated to workout and keep a clean house. :smiley:

You have made a lot of progress and have every right to be posting here! Success is a journey not a destination!

Great work!!!!

That is awesome!! Keep it up!!

I do actual time lifting. I haven't upgraded to a lot of free weights yet (newbie here!) so I am moving from machine to machine and moving a few weights when doing squats and some doing barbell exercises. When I am in the gym for 50 minutes I log it as actually lifting for about 30 minutes.

This is a fabulous story! You have overcome a lot and have every right to brag! Well done!!

You are looking fabulous!!! Nice job!!!

What a great way to look at this! Good luck! MFP is a great place to start with looking to make healthier choices!

I am 5'7" I have been on here for a while I've lost 20 and I am working on the last 5-7 pounds. NOT Easy!! Add me! I'd love to help encourage you.

Nice work! You are definitely on the right track! As they all said you won't get bulky by lifting on a deficit. So keep adding weights! You'll love the results even more!

WOW you look awesome! And so much happier with each group of pictures!!
