Wow. You look great! Thanks for the motivation!

I haven't read all the replies so maybe this has already been said, but when I decided on my goal weight, I used the formula of 100 pounds plus 5 pounds per inch over 5 feet. For you, that would be 120 pounds. For me, that would be 125-130 as I'm 5'5" - 5'6". My actual goal weight is 135 since I am large chested and 140…

bump as I've hit a plateau

Great job! I got back into running with the c25k. Friday, I completed week 7 of One Hour Runner (OHR) and ran for 45 minutes. I've also added a 4th day (intervals on a track) and plan to jump to 6 days a week with a 5K intermediate training schedule after OHR. Just some ideas for what to do next!

SAHM of 4 little ones here! Ages: 5, 4, 3, and 3 months! I plan on homeschooling next year and then possibly heading off to medical school myself at which point Dad will be staying at home. Time will tell! Feel free to add me!

Wow! That's what I'm working toward!

I've logged in the last 27 days. I'm also interested in friending those who are serious! Feel free to add me.

I use 1L Mason jars. I start every morning by drinking a glass full, which is 4 cups. Halfway through the day, I drink another glass full. If I workout, I have a 2 cup water bottle that I make sure to finish off. If I'm thirsty at the end of the day, I drink another Mason jar full. My advice is to not drink one cup at a…

I'm in too! I would aim higher, but I have to account for the fact that I'm breastfeeding and should take it off a bit slower.

I too am breastfeeding a 12 week old baby. She is my fourth. My CW is 182 and my goal weight is 130. I've been giving myself 300 extra calories a day for breastfeeding and have my calories set around 1600 (so 1900 total). I'm running 3 days a week (5K currently each day) and doing Power 90 - 3 days cardio and 3 days…

That should say, " vain MFP'er" :)

Mom of 4 here - 5, 4, 3, and 3 months. My third was sick and we struggled to find answers resulting in a serious depression for me. The day she turned 9 months, we found a heart defect and she had open heart surgery. I started 2011 weighing in at 220 (5'6" on a good day) and lost 30 pounds before getting pregnant with my…
