I've lost 13lb so far and am far from dropping a dress size. I think I might in another 10 or so lb, or even more... Everyone is different :)

I will go against the grain here... Yes we should concentrate on teaching our children to eat healthy and be active but in a positive and enabling way, not by providing negative images and sending the message that fat people = bad people.

Never heard of this, off to google it...

Was 32 when I had DD (two years ago) and we don't plan for another before I am 38 ;)

Very interesting and inspiring post! Thank you for sharing! And really well done - you look amazing!

Well, seeing that on MFP I get 200 additional calories a day for breastfeeding an older child (2-years old next Monday and still BFs like a champ) I would imagine that if my daughter weaned and I continued to consume 200 extra calories each day, over a period of time I would see some weight gain. It does make sense.

You look great and I can clearly see a difference! I think you have every reason to be proud of yourself! Keep up the good work! :smile:

This was funny! Thanks for making me smile :D I hope I don't get any sagginess after I am done ;osing the weight...

This is such an interesting read! It shows how different we all are! :)

Actually I have the protruding bones problem as well at 130lb... I remember having bruises on my hips and along my backbone when camping due to sleeping on firm ground o.O I guess I will try to get to 160 and see how I feel then and adjust my goal accordingly.. Thanks for the replies all!

Before my pregnancy a bit less than 3 years ago my normal weight range was somehwere between 158 and 168 and I felt pretty awesome at 160 or so (I am 5 feet and 8.11 inches tall)... then I gained 60lb during my pregnancy and have been struggling with the weight since. 10 years ago my normal weight was about 130lb (am now…

Wow what an inspiration! You all look amazing! :flowerforyou: I do own a few pairs of bikini (from before I got pregnant with my daughter 3 years ago) but I absolutely could not squeese in them at the moment. :( When I manage to I will come back and post my pics as well!

Might be a good idea to add the link to the sheet to the firs post in the thread? For easy access?

Thank you for setting up this challenge! So exciting! ::happy:

Thanks, makes sense!

Just a quick question - is 'starting weight' the weight at the beginning of the challenge - meaning today?

Can I join in as well? I saw "Sugar - the bitter truth" recently and I am mortified :noway: I would like to cut refined sugar off my diet completely and see what will happen with my weight . :huh: Have been going sugar-free whole 5 days now and have even struggled to eat all my calories. Seems sugar was making for the…
