A few days before Christmas I found out that I was surprisingly expecting again. We are shocked and thrilled. It throws a wrench in several of our goals for this year as a family, including my wieght loss. This will be my 5th pregnancy and HOPEFULLY the 4th I carry to term with a healthy baby. I normally do not gain that…

Thanks for posting this. It is so great to see all the success pictures of people your (and my) height. I was down to 130LBS in May of 2010. That is my goal again. I am 155 right now.

I have to workout at home. Being a mom of two little ones, teaching kindergarten, and my DH working an opposite schedule as me, I NEVER can get to the gym (which I have paid for the last 5 months and have not gone once... I need to send in that cancellation letter). I do Jillian 30DS and NO More Trouble Zones. I have found…

Definately going to check that site out. While on Pinterest I found this site. Might be a lifesaver for us crock pot cookers!! http://www.skinnycrockpot.com/

Wow!!! That is so GREAT!! You look amazing!

I need a new scale as well. The thing is I have to move my scale. We have one bathroom and my 3 and 3 year old swear the scale is a trampoline (IE... how my last digital scale broke). DO your scales tend to be accurate if you move them once a week from, say, the closet to the floor?

I have a "salad" for lunch everyday. I toss in about two handfuls of the spring mix 50/50 lettuce, one can of chicken breast, 1/4 avocado, and then a strip of crumbled bacon. I cook the bacon on Sunday in the oven (400* for 25 minutes), and the put it in the fridge so it is ready all week long. Everynight, I put it all…

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I just stared MFP about a week and a half ago. I lost 1.5 LBS the first week. I am eating my allotted calories a day and doing the 30 DS. I eat the same thing for bfast and lunch everyday. That way you don't have to think about it. I try and stay away from breads. Though, I have had a…

Thanks ladies! I don't have a HRM, so that is out. I used to do NMTZ about once a week as part of my workout schedule. I have not done it in over a year or so, though. I just started MFP, and am trying to record my calories correctly. I am in the middle of a 30 day Shred challenge. But, I am getting SUPER bored with it, so…

When I lost all my weight last year, I was SO motivated. I started a group with a few of my friends. I ate my version of a diet based on the Zone. I worked out mostly before the boys woke up, or at night after bedtime. I have to be at work at 7am this year. I also have about an hour commute to get there. So, I am already…

Take your measurements. When I lost 25 LBS last year, I lost the BULK of that in the first three months, and then slowly my rate of loss declined, BUT I was still shrinking and losing sizes. I didn't do my measurements, but I was doing a lot of weight training and toning everything up. My pants were literally falling off,…

Sometimes, we feel like we are the only ones missing our babies, but we aren't. I have learned in the last 4 years that so many families have loss a baby, too. My non-profit supports families dealing with the love and loss of their little one. So bittersweet to meet mommies like me.

Here is the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/495-thinning-mommies

I started the group!! It is called Thinning Mommies! I have invited the first three ladies who responded. I don't think you need an invite to join it. If you do, I will add more people in a bit (screaming, fighting boys need my attention now). If you do join, PLEASE be consistant with posting, encouraging, and sharing! :)

Okay Mamas!! We need a group name? Any fun names come to mind?

You look AMAZING!!! When I get down to my GW, I plan on doing a "Trash the Dress" session in my wedding dress from 8 years ago. I think it is a size 8, but had to be let out the week OF the wedding to fit. So, it is probably about a 10, too. I hope I am looking as great as you soon!! Can't wait to see the gown pictures!…

Yeah, my son three year old son was exercizing with me (mostly running around, jumping on me, making the Shred that much more challenging (-; ). And I tossed my weights on to the couch after the strength, it bounced off and bonked his knee. We had to pause for a bit. He is find and kept going... LOL, made me think of the…

Level 1 Day 2 - DONE!

Level 1 day 1 Done!! -- My three year old son did it with me. It was fun "mouskersizing" with him!

I have done 30 Shred quite a bit. I started out with NO weights, and it was more than enough workout for me (I was a total weakling, who hadn't worked out in over 3 years), I then moved up to 1.5 LBS and used those for quite awhile. I finished up with 3 LBS. I am starting back up tonight, after about a year of not working…

Can I join? I am looking for a smaller group starting somewhere around today (I am starting today). Is this going to be a small gourp? What is everyone's plan? I am going to do 10 days at each level.

Can I join late? I have done the 30 Daay shred as part of my work out reoutine last year (I lost 25 LBS last year and gained it all bacl plus some in 2011), but I have yet to do it EVERY day for 30 straight days. I need to do it though, if I don't put myself through the ringer before the holidays, I will lose ALL…
