I'm almost 5'5" :wink: but I started a couple years ago at 142 and got down to 125. I'm currently around 129 and trying to get to 125. For me it's hardest breaking the 130's and getting below is sooo HARD. I had to constantly change what I was doing last time to get there. For instance, I started interval training with…

Beautiful!!! YOu look like a different person!

You look great!!! You can do it!!

I'm 55" and 129.4. 34-26-38. I'm a total pear shape. LOL. For your height, I think you are great!

Great job! I can definitely see a difference in your waist!

You both look fabulous!!!! Great job! I'm a Navy wife and I know all about getting in shape during deployments.

I have two dogs, one is a shepherd/hound mix and one a chihuahua. The shepherd mix is a puppy still and will pull if she gets excited by something. I recommend a good harness!!! Petsmart's EasyWalk harness is fabulous!!!!

A lot of runners training for races plan a rest week. They will do walking, biking, or elliptical. Maybe your legs needed a rest week? :) When I don't have motivation, I just go through the motions. Sure, you don't want your workouts to be just going through the motions. But sometimes you have to do that to get past the…

You look beautiful! Good luck with the rest of your goal. You can do this!

I'm doing paleo right now. I'm pretty diligent most days, but a couple days a week I fall off. Haha. I basically decided to do it because I feel like I'm addicted to carbs. I lost 6 pounds in the first couple of weeks (started only wanting to lose 10), but every time I cheat I gain back 3 pounds. I'm sure it's water…

My husband is being very supportive this time around because he wants to get healthier too. If I were you, I would stop cooking those kinds of food. He may not gain weight but weight gain is not the only side effect of an unhealthy diet. If he wants to eat different food, he can cook it for himself.

I love this. Great job. You look fabulous.

Love it.

I could not date a man more obsessed with his appearance than me. Haha

I always lose from my waist first. I'm a total pear shape.

Hmmm. I'd talk to your doctor and see if maybe it is hormonal. I feel for you. I wouldn't throw in the towel. I'd try to be positive and focus on all of the great positive changes you have made.

You look amazing!!!!

I'm getting my master's in medical health science.... Physician assistant program. I LOVE IT.

I agree with previous posters. Sign up for a race. When I don't have a goal such as a race in mind, I really just don't have as much motivation for those long runs. My uncle runs a lot of races and takes a week off of running every 4 weeks for his legs to rest. Maybe you need a rest week? If you have a gym you could do the…

I'd go back to the doctor with your concerns. It might require a little more investigation. They also might want to get a dietician involved, not to necessarily put him on a "diet" but to make sure he's getting enough of what he needs to grow. My heart goes out to you. I know how it is to worry about your little boy.…

You look awesome!!!!

I haven't tried the rice, but I agree the mashers are ickkkk...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that read the title in a Britney voice. LOL

Watching TV!

You look awesome!!! Great job.

I have a soon to be 3 year old long-haired Chihuahua named Dino. And a shepherd mix that is about to be 1 named Lucy. I loooooveeee dogs.

I've lived there too and agree 100%. Japanese people have the fattening restaurants and food we have, they just don't have the ridiculous portion sizes we do. Also, like you said, they do a lot of walking.

Sending you a friend request. I'm a mom to a 7 year old little boy. Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy!

The last time I used MFP to lose weight, I stalled at the end of my goal at 1200 calories and bumped up to 1500 and started losing again. I need to do that now... 1200 is driving me crazy.

When I was a teenager, my step-father used to call me fat and when I was a little girl my mom would try to get me to go on diets with her. I understand how it hurts and I'm sorry you are going through that. I'm not sure your situation, but hopefully you'll be on your own soon! Try to tune out their negativity and continue…
