That's awesome!! Doesn't it just feel good? I started in a size 14 and being asked if I was pregnant a few times. Not fun. Jeans/clothes are what make me feel the best, a lot better than the scale. Buying smaller sizes or looking better in my clothes is the greatest success

You just made my day! Thank you!!

You look great and I can totally see a difference!

Yup- really hurt my feelings too. I was holding me 6 month old and thinking I was doing pretty well with weight loss. The lady asked if we were having another baby and I said no. She PATTED HER STOMACH and said, "Oh, it kinda looks like you are"

I found this and only looked at the first two....coffee and almonds, both of which curb my appetite. I had the same issue as you, I over ate. I knew what I needed to do but that didn't stop me from downing 4 PB&J's with a large side of chips at lunch. I wasn't even hungry but would keep eating. I had to really focus on…

When I first got pregnant with son #1 I had this yellow shirt I loved and one day when I was 8 months pregnant I saw the same shirt in different colors on sale so I grabbed a red and blue one in a medium thinking I'd fit into them soon after. It took 3 years but I finally fit into those shirts and nicely! It feels amazing

I'm interested

I went from a size 14 to a size 8! And it seriously feels great!

I posted a picture of what I want to look like again right on my fridge. Then every bathroom in the house has little sayings like "If you have time to facebook, you have time to work out!" "You must, you must, you must decrease that butt!" And some others....sounds silly but it helps me get up and go!

I like the ankle weight idea! At work I get up every 1-1/2 or so and walk this loop through the office twice. Takes about 5 minutes and it's better than sitting all day. I also do 10 squats every time I go to the bathroom. When doing the dishes I do leg raises as I stand at the sink. My husbands laughs but mentioned how…

That's wonderful! It's great you have increased your time!

Looks great!

I used to drink way too much soda period. I went through a phase of regular and then a phase of diet....it's hard but replace it with something like water with lemons, or raspberries. And if you are anything like me you have to FORCE yourself to not drink it for about a week. Then you might start to notice you don't want…

You look smokin' in those jeans!! Way to go!

I don't care what others think at all- I wil check out an extra exercise ball for at work! Thanks!

I do/did....I had my daughter at 18 but from the ages of 23-26 I was into stuff for me. Stuff for her too but I made time for myself- I went out dancing, read books, got my nails done, met friends at the movies, joined a softball team if I wanted etc. I adored and still adore my daughter but I had time for me and I think…

That is AWESOME and SO true. You are speaking right to me! I was feeling pretty good about my new size and then suddenly I was around an old friend who looks freaking amazing and just lost some weight- I'd guess down to a 4 and all of a sudden I felt kinda frumpy.

Oh! I want to give this a try!

After I had my first son I kept waiting for the weight to come off and when I got pregnant with son #2 I knew I had to change my lifestyle. I was extremely unhappy with how I looked and the fact that I hardly had any clothes to wear even though my closet was full because I didn't fit into any of them. When I took an old…

Awesome! Keep up the great work!

I just don't buy any of these types of things- some new fad is always out there. Just eat better foods and be more active- go outside, dance, plat softball....anything. But you'll be healthier and thinner!

What a great feeling! Way to go!

You look amazing! Great work!

Thanks everyone!! I think I still looked 6 months pregnant until I really was 6 months pregnant with son #2! lol

I love dancing to LMFAO, I also Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Black Eyed Peas

I had a lady ask me if we were having another baby, I said no, and she patted her belly and said, "It looks like you are"

Well, I got 285 in for the day

Thanks so much! I have really loved it here so far and I am so happy a friend told me about this site.

I agree with a lot of what others have said. I am not an expert on diet or exercise but I have read a lot on the topic and from what I have seen work for other people I would suggest more weight training exercises and it wouldn't hurt to look at eating less processed foods

I never thought of using standing to count standing....I'd much rather not track it and if I am earning some "extra" calories standing one day than sweet but I don't want to thin I can eat back 400 calories from standing
