Yay Jen! Last night, after our long walk and putting my baby to sleep. I was thinking maybe it'd be OK to skip the workout tonight. Hubs said it'd be OK if we just do some abwork together - so we did that. I was about to sit in front of the TV when I thought of you. I told my husband, "hey, I know a lady that broke her…

Actually - I still have enough calories for a good dinner and a light snack after the workout. That makes me feel good. I guess the first step is recognizing the problem. I won't be completely skipping breakfast anymore. I'm sure it's just as easy to grab an apple or a power bar and go. Instead fo starving myself all day.…

Hope it's OK, but I'm sending you a friend request too. I am that person at work too - and I'm lucky enough to have "infected" others with positivity. I can't think of who sings it, but I've heard a new song called "it's Only a Mountain" - that has been my inspiration lately.

Now I have to go through my pantry again. I already know i have to throw away the hot dogs and hubby's diet pepsi. I might have to print this article and paste it to the fridge.

You can add me too. I am on DAY 6, well it will be 7 tonight. It is the first workout DVD I've done in years and I'm loving it. I weighed in at 127 last Sunday and I have already lost a couple of inches around my waist.

I have an 18 month old little boy. I am on day 6 of JM 30 Day Shred and I am loving it - so is my husband :love:

If it's any consolation - you just became my inspiration. I started at 136 and my goal is to get to 110-115. I've been wearing a size 10 and decided to make a change when I found myself considering trying on a size 12 because 10 was getting too tight. I know those numbers don't mean a whole lot to most people but I am 4'11…

I was also congratulated for being pregnant. I've never had a flat belly, but gees! She was a nice old lady at church - I know she meant well, but that hurt more than I wanted to admit. I was wearing a dress for the first time in months that day because I had lost 4 pounds. I was feeling great until that moment.

Hi all, I'm Marissa, My goal is to lose 25 pounds and keep them off. I would love to fit back into my single-digit jeans too. What I really need is a way to stay consistent. I usually make some progress and then reward myself with a cheat and it slowly snowballs from there.

Hi, wow - you're awesome. I've just described my worst fear.

I'm also in search of accountability partners. Sometimes I don't think I get taken seriously by others I know IRL because I "only have 25 pounds to lose" and to them it's something they can do in a couple of weeks without even trying. I am trying to lose 25 to get to an ideal weight and feel good about myself. My hubs is…

Hi, I am a FTM - I am happily married and have a wonderful little boy. He's now 18 months old and I am still 25 pounds over-weight. I know it doens't seem like alot; but noticing that you're now as heavy as you were during the peak of your pregnancy - that kind of takes a toll on your self esteem. I originally started MFP…
