Thanks for making the group! I have 20 pounds of baby weight left to lose, and then I would like to love 35 after that. It's going to be a looooong road :)

Great work! I'm using you guys for inspiration this week :)

Can't find my shred DVD, so I'm doing 6 week 6 pack until I find it. I'm sore, but feeling good!

I weighed in and entered my measurements. I've never done measurements before, so I hope I did them correctly.

I've never done measurements before, so this will be interesting. I will update my measurements on Jan 2nd. I hope to lose inches around the middle, my belly is definitely not the same after having a c-section last year.

I'm starting cycle 1 again on 01/01. I've lost 17 pounds (not on the 17 day diet), but I wanted to do something to detox at the beginning of the year.

I'm a day late too! Lol. Your doing great, 4 pounds this week! Starting Weight - 167.5 Week 1 - 164 Week 2 - 162 Week 3 - 160.00 Week 4 - 158 Week 5 - 157.5 Weight Lost this week - 0.5 Total Lost - 10.00 Personal Challenge - I was hoping to at least maintain this week, so a half a pound loss works for me. Both days this…

I''m 5'6 and 157.5, and I'm in between and 10 and a 12, depending on the brand. I'm big in the hips and behind, so it really depend on the style of jean.

I will as best I can. Even if it's just an estimate for some of the treats. I'm going to eat sensible portions of the things I like, but not go back for extras. There are a few desserts I always have, but I'm going to make the day about family fun, and not focus on the food.

I have a pair of jeans in a 9 (I think I bought them at a young person store, which is why they are an odd number) in my closet that I hope to wear someday soon. It was a store closing sale, they were only like 5 bucks down from 50.

I know at 150 I still wanted to lose a few pounds, and at 130 I felt I looked too skinny, so I picked something right in the middle (140). I'm 8 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight of 150. (I was trying to lose those 10 pounds when I got pregnant).

Teriyaki chicken, asparagus, green pepper, mushrooms, and brown rice.

Put a baby down for a nap. Lol

I am in a way. We haven't tried for our 2nd yet (waiting until after my friend gets married this summer because I'm the MOH), but I want to lose the weight I gained with my 1 year old before I get pregnant again. We will probably start trying again in August. You are doing well so far with losing 7 pounds, keep it up!

When should we do our starting weight and measurements?

I'm going to keep my portions small, enjoy a few of the foods I really like and limit the holiday eating to just one day.

Awesome. I'll mark it in my calendar :)

I've been following the guidelines that MFP gave me, they have me at 1200 calories and that is working so far to have me lose about 2 pounds a week. I sometimes drink slim fast as a meal replacement when I am on the run and I need to eat something quick. I don't get as many workouts in as I want, but I'm trying to change…

Sounds good! I'm in :) do we start on Jan 1st?

I'll do the 30 day shred with you in January. I've been wanting to try it again.

I like weekly challenges.

Tall people! Lol. I always wished I was 2 inches taller.

I sent requests to all of you :)

Hi, I'm 5'6 as well. I started at 175, with a long (long long long) term goal of being 140. So I'd like to drop a total of 35 pounds. I've lost 17 so far. Once I hit 150 I'm going to change my goal to losing 1/2 a pound a week, so the last 10 will take a long time, but I'm happy with that. 150 is what I was when I got…

Start of a new week! Starting Weight - 167.5 Week 1 - 164 Week 2 - 162 Week 3 - 160.00 This Week - 158 Weight Lost this week - 2 pounds Total Lost - 9.5 Personal Challenge - Last weeks challenge was to cook healthy meals for the whole family, I did 4 out of 7 nights which is a good start for us. This week I have 3…

Glad to hear that there are woman who don't obsess about their stretch marks. I have some on my hips and thighs from gaining weight when pregnant, but none on my stomach. I do have a c-section scar though, and I was worried about how it looks, but my husband said it didn't bother him. Took me a wile to get used to it, but…

We buy a gift for the both of us. This year we bought a new bed (much needed as we were in a double) . Next year we are going to spend our money on a vacation (probably January 2013). I do buy little stuff to put in our stockings though.

This. Lol. Talk with whoever is providing your prenatal care, if you have a lot to lose they will probably be ok with you losing weight as long as the baby is still growing. One week late during my pregnancy they thought I hadn't gained any weight, and they were very concerned, luckily they had just read the scale wrong.…

Remember when shopping for any outfits, don't get caught up in sizes, or how the models look in the clothes. Try on different styles and sizes until you find something that compliments how you look now, not how you wished you looked. I find a lot of my girlfriends get caught up in being a certain size, and then if…

A few days before my period starts I won't be able to drop any weight, and maybe even gain a bit. Then about 4 days in it seems to realign itself.
