I really appreciate the suggestions! Thank you!

Ahh...the day of romance! I hope everyone enjoys a wonderful Valentine's Day today! Although I bought new lingerie and surprised my hubby last night...it didn't quite go as planned! I was feeling like a whale but tried my best not to show it. Turns out, my 3 year-old had night terrors and 2 accidents. So...we didn't get to…

Thank you so much for posting this! I needed a reminder today to appreciate what I do have, and this story gives perspective. Love it!

Why so blue? What kind of encouragement do you need?

I'm going to work out tonight...I'm going to work out tonight...I'm going to work out tonight...:sad: Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred - here I come!

Hello Team! OK, so I jumped off the wagon in September and would really like to get back on!! I appreciate T.H.E. Team so much and really need the motivation & encouragement. I recently turned 30 and would really like to start LIVING my life. I'm curious how the rest of you have identified the cause of your weight issues.…

SW = 203 (June) / CW = 194 / GW = 150

Kelsey - good for you!! I'm so proud of you for getting your walking in any and every way you can! I know how hard it is with kiddos. I finally caved and let my hubby convince me to join him at the gym. I'm not a fan of that atmosphere, but the primary benefit is their child care program. It's about the only way I can get…

LosingIt - Are you eating too few calories? I like how MFP gives a notation at the bottom of your food entries to encourage the consumption of your proper amount of calories. I've been logging just the last two days and came in under both days. It's telling me that my body will not keep up my metabolism if I don't eat…

JJ - Is TurboFire part of Chalene Johnson's program? Could it be you're building different muscles to cause the 1 pound? I'm trying to avoid weighing myself every day as well, but it's very tempting when you feel like you're doing all the right things and should see almost immediate results. I NEED that reward!! Don't get…

I LOVE your Betty Boop picture! Perfect!

For anyone looking for a set of complete in-home workouts, I recommend Chalene Johnson's TurboJam. Yes, she's an energetic blonde who kinda makes you sick at first, but she's quite motivating instead of annoying like so many other video instructors. She's part of the Beachbody line, and I plan to get back on the wagon with…

KALTGELT - thank you for the welcome! my hubby is working on his weight at the same time; however, we just haven't found our rhythm yet. I have an appt. tonight at 6pm at his gym to see what it would take to upgrade his membership to a family package. My biggest obstacle is not having someone to watch my kiddos while I…

I'd really like to give this group a try and sincerely appreciate the support! Historically I have not been good at sticking with any particular plan and think that some level of accountability may help. I went from 203 to 189.5 in about 2 months, and now I've gained nearly all of it back. Despite seeing success on the…
