I could not agree with this more. Keep up the good work. It is hard being a working mom with little kiddos trying to loose weight but YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Mine happened last Friday. I was wearing my jeans... the only pair that used to fit and they literally fell off my booty when I was walking. I was excited. Time for new pants!

THIS is exactly what I was thinking!!

Friend you can still splurge and not be off the wagon. The danger is you restrict, restrict, restrict and that’s when you jump off the wagon head first into old eating habits. It is important to have "treats" No all day every day but every now and again is good for you. Also, budget it into your daily calorie intake. :)…

My suggestion is this. Call your gym. Talk to whoever answers the phone. They do not have to know who you are. Just say I am a memeber and I want to start attending this yoga class or whatever class it may be. Ask if you have to sign up or just show up, what equipment if any you need to bring and if there are any other…

What you have is very rare and wonderful! Enjoy it! I hope this is what mine is like after many many years of being married. Keep us updated on your progress!

This is exactly what I want. Same pants size same height same goal! +

The elliptical depending on your weight and intensity!

I will be getting an entire new wardrobe! I have a lot to loose but I am on my way!!

I love love love this! THank you for posting this. I am working towards getting my awesomeness back so I can be awesome with my 6 year old and 2 year old!!!

Hi! My name is Melissa. I am from Wyoming. I have 2 young boys so I don't make nearly enough time for myself. My HW is 283 YIKES. MY Current weight is 267 and my goal weight is 170. I have a long way to go but I am taking it in 10 lbs mile stones. I joined MFP in December 2011 and have lost 16 lbs. I was off the wagon for…

This is exactly the same for me. lol :)

I am planning on starting 30 day shred tonight or in the am. I will add you and we can motivate eachother. My plan / goal is to do 30 days level 1 30 days level 2 and 30 days at level 3.

Fantastic job!!! Keep up the good work AND positive attitude.

I could not agree more!

I have a top 3: Enjoy shopping for clothes again and looking good in them Running a mile in 8 mins or less Wearing shorts. I havent worn them in 10 years.

These are things that should be taught in elementary school. Having proper grammar and correct spelling is important. It is very important to my employment and my everyday life. We can agree to disagree.

I just joined BUT I am here and ready to get moving! What a great group.

Thank you! I will have to find the group so I can join and get the updates!!

Pretty sure you are my hero! Great job! And I treat myself with a diet coke now and again.

Offer to cook healthy meals, go grocery shopping with her to make healthy choices. Invite her to do activities like going for a walk, swimming, go window shopping anything to get her out of the house and moving.

I had to go on meds after my youngest was born. Sometimes the hormones and having a new baby is just something you cannot take care of on your own. Keep doing what you are doing and it is silly if they deleted you for that. You have a lot on your plate. Just make sure to drink lots of water and get some rest and make…

THANK YOU for sharing your story. This is what I needed to read. You are a true inspiration! Keep up the fantastic work!

Wow what a great post! Thank you for sharing!

^ I cannot agree more! Fantastic job!! Keep up the good work!

I do not even look anymore. Because yes it goes up like 3 lbs for me. So I don't even check anymore it is too discouraging.

Hang in there. It will get better! When it rains is pours. Everything seems to go bad at once. My favorite quote is without a little bit of rain we wouldn't have rainbows and our flowers would not bloom. So soak up the rain and bloom when it is done. Corney I know but it helps me through rough patches.

Well 2-1 3 miles walked/jogged 2-2 1.5 miles walked 2-3 3.25 miles walked/jogged 2-4 my rest day so 7.27 miles down 92.25 to go. woo. I am on it tomorrow!

Great Job! I have that much to loose. Makes me feel like I am running in the right direction because I just started running again. I have lost 13 lbs so far!!

Tomorrow is a new day! And I bet it is your day! Keep up the good work!!!
