That's a great goal! I'm right there with you. I'm on WW, too, but once I started double tracking on here, I realized why I'm not successful on the purple plan. The "zero point" foods are not zero calorie, and I was sabotaging myself. I lost all of my weight on THIS app several years ago before injuries, surgeries and life…

Hi! I'm back again for the umpteenth time. I used this app to get to the best shape of my life, too, but then a whole bunch of crap happened. Family drama, foot surgery, a broken ankle, another surgery, then the lockdown. I gained back all that I lost and then some. I got up over 200 lbs, and as a fellow 5'3"er, I do not…

It's hard being a busy mama, and it's even harder when your son requires so much of your time and emotions. It's so easy to lose ourselves. Good for you for trying to regain some control. My sons were 18 months apart, and the younger had his own issues when he was younger that kept me very busy. I started doing workouts at…

Great pointers so far! I find that mini-goals are the best motivators for her. Small rewards for logging regularly, each 5 lbs down, sticking to my workout plan, etc. I map them out, and finding a buddy to set up the same mini-goals to motivate each other was super helpful! Our rewards were shopping days together, movie…

I'm in! I just recommitted to MFP after starting/restarting on WW for 1.5 years. I got down to my lowest using MFP, so this is home to me. I have 40 lbs to lose! I'm doing a hybrid workout of Les Mills Combat/TurboFire six days a week (started yesterday). Let's do this! Day/Weight/Comment 08/21 08/22 08/23 08/24 08/25…

Best of luck to you!! I have found that having small rewards for myself on this journey makes a huge difference. Staying under calories every day for 2 weeks, new workout equipment like weighted gloves for my kickboxing workout. Logging all food/exercise for 4 weeks, small reward like a movie night out with my girlfriends.…

I struggled with keto and failed miserably at it. But, I went through fertility issues 15 years ago, so I feel ya. Mama to 2 boys now. Best of luck!!!

I'm right there with you, starting over. 6 years ago, I got down to my lowest of 148. January of 2018, I was up to my highest ever of 200 lbs! I got ball on track and lost 29 lbs then broke my ankle. Gained back 20 lbs. I'm starting all over! Today is day 2. Good news is that we know what works for us! And the desire to…

You look phenomenal! I'm sorry for your trauma, but you are right. You are the definition of success. Keep up the healthy lifestyle, and you will inspire more and more people!

Wow, that is awesome!!! You look friggin' incredible! And I also dig the Supernatural shirt. :)

So inspiring! I've been steadily going back up, but knowing that you tackled this while dealing with thyroid issues gives me new hope and inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

So awesome!!! You should be so proud of yourself! Very inspiring!

I just ordered it after trying one of the workouts online. I can't wait to get started. Great job!

Fantastic! It is super hard with young kids to find time for yourself, but once you do, it's something you should NEVER give up on! You are so inspirational! Keep going, lovely lady!

Wow, amazing difference! You look fabulous!

Amazing!!! Sorry your husband wasn't there, but I'm sure he's thrilled for you from afar!

I don't understand those people who seem to lack the "maybe I shouldn't say that out loud" switch in their brains. One of my good work friends told me that I couldn't do the Insanity program, because, "Sometimes we just have to admit that we are too old for some of that stuff." I just went silent in a bit of shock. Then I…

Fantastic work!!! You've inspired me to get more strength training in!

Fantastic work!!!

Totally amazing!!! You are a rock star!

Woo hoo!! Excellent job!

Incredible job! You are so lovely!

Fantastic!!!

Awesome progress! Slow and steady is fantastic! You look strong and beautiful!

Woo hoo!! That is awesome!!!

Hello! I'm a clumsy person who started this weight loss journey and had many, many injuries/surgeries along the way. if you are interested in exercising, there are tons of ways to move with modifications. I love, and I always go back to, Shaun T's Rockin' Body program when I'm injured. It's very low impact with fun music…

Excellent!!!! Way to stick it out! Good lesson for those of us who are stuck!

I'm a 43 year old mom of two boys, 10 and 8. Feel free to add me, too! I lost the weight back in 2012 (the year I turned 40), but I had to slow down on the exercise due to multiple injuries (I'm a Klutz with a capital K) and surgeries. I'm on day 3 of an at home DVD program, and I fell down the stairs and sprained my ankle…

Fantastic!!!!!

Wowza! That is awesome!
