  • Official weigh in is Friday morning right after I get up and pee :) But I usually weigh in on Monday morning too :)
  • Since January 14 I have lost 6.2! back on track ;)
  • Bump - awesome motivation!!! Hoping to come back and post pics here some day!!!
  • I could care less about Monopoly (I actually HATE the real board game!) But I :heart: Mcdonalds and go there at least once a week :) Yummm.......
  • I never had a rock bottom. I had three kids....youngest is almost 3 and I have been trying ever since she was born to get baby weight off....I am 10 lbs from my UGW, but I have been here for so long I think THIS is it. I am just (unfortunately) acutely aware always of how clothes fit me and how I am uncomfortable in my…
  • I signed myself, hubby, and the kids up!!! There is also another in August - color me rad - that I'll be doing!!!! Without hubby and kids :) I can't wait!!!
  • No, but my "smaller" size got tight, so went back up to my "too big but still fits ok" sized clothes :) So I'm not even losing inches....and BF% is the same.... :(
  • I am almost 34yo and have 3 kids; an 8yo, 5yo, and 2yo...I work full time getting up at 5 am everyday (work by 630)....I count calories and have done a work out (lifting, running, insanity, elliptical, etc) 4-6 days a week since MARCH 2011....I have changed nothing since January and have GAINED 6 lbs....BEFORE I gained 6 I…
  • A couple things about this made me sort of laugh, if the seats were larger, and there were less passengers, tickets would be MORE expensive, probably doubled, as they would have to still make the same amount of money for the trip AND add more flights to accomodate. It would just change the issue at hand and everyone would…
  • Yes, if you take up more than one seat you should pay for two. I flew from Columbus to Seattle with my 18 month old child a while back - within policy to fly as a lap child - and I bought a second seat. I was travelling with more crap. Even though I knew she would want to be up my butt the whole flight, I bought a second…
  • All of my kids have seen me counting calories, and measuring portions, etc....the only time it was embarrasing was when my 5yo turned down a ho ho as an after baseball treat because of the calories (to another parent who had brought the snack). I reinforce to my kids all the time that everything is fine in moderation. We…
  • What'd you get?! I can't wait to get mine! Have a pic?!
  • I have a couple tattoos already (celtic infinity on my foot, celtic motherhood knot on my back)....but I pretty much solely listen to Mumford and Sons when I run. My next tattoo is being designed as we speak by my guy - It will say "Awake my soul" in some sort of celtic-y font with some silhouette birds in flight on my…
  • Lol...awesome!! I have had to tell both my boys before that's "it's still there and you can stop checking" when they grab themselves in public....never noticed the hubby doing it though, lol..... These are seriously hilarious though and I am SO glad that my children have never screamed "****" while in public!!!
  • Just recently I've had to repeatedly tell my almost 3yo to stop licking the dog. I've had to tell my 8 yo (when he gets naked to get in the shower) to stop swinging his penis around (seriously, on purpose and thinks its hilarious!). And on St. Pattys day I thanked my kids for behaving so well at dinner (out to eat) and my…
  • I'm pretty sure I have body dismorphic disorder..... That being said I KNOW I am attractive, at least on some level....and I have a killer personality so most people find me attractive on some level (not trying to sound full of myself or anything)...... BUT - most of the time I FEEL like a fat, ugly cow and when I look in…
  • I have heard this too! And I'm a grunter when I lift....is this true though?! seems crazy to me!!

  • Yes, I know as someone who is "serious" I had mine filled out day one....wait, I didn't, they still aren't...I workout 3-6 days/week, am doing the best I can to get through my last 10-15 lbs after 3 kids (which seems to be near impossible) and love coming to the forums to get tips, see success stories etc....Good job…
  • I didn't read through everything and since I just started lifting I am NO expert....but we have a trainer (and a gym - for free!) at work....I have been in there 5 days a week for a year....so I just walked up to him and told him I want to start lifting heavy....He put together a workout for me....I LOVE it....first time…
  • My boys eat whatever hubby and I are eating, however, I am very picky, so hubby and older son have a "better" version of dinner (more veggies, etc) while younger son and I usually have a near veggie free version (though he does like more veggies than I do. My 2 yo daughter is a different story though. She is me, at two.…
  • You look great!!! And I HATE it when people tell me I look good "for having 3 kids"....can I not just LOOK GOOD?!?! lol...you are a fab motivator!
  • I'm 5'7"! My cw is 142...my gw is125-130.....Though I have recently started lifting with my cardio and really could care less what I weigh at this point as long as I look toned all over and my fat stores take a hike!
  • Hi :) I'm Anne! 33 yo mom to 3 kids (Jude almost 8; Quinn 5.5; and Lucy 2.5)...I work full time outside of the home (I HATE IT!)....the one nice thing about working though is my company has a full gym with a trainer....for use by me for free....So really the last 10-15 should be easy - right? Yea.....I weigh 140 (and have…
  • I am in!!! I'm Anne - 33 yo mom of 3 kids (8, 5, and 2)....My BIG goal by 2/14 is to break my flipping plateau!!! I managed to break it over the holidays - in the wrong direction! nice..... sw -141 2/14 w- 135 gw-125 Mini goals for the challenge - drink 8 glasses water/day workout 6days/week stay within my calorie goal!…
  • So excited that there are so many of us "stuck" trying to lose the last bit :) I know that's wrong but I have been stuck at 138-140 for seriously like 8 months....I don't care if it's where my body is comfortable! I am 5'6" ish and would still be perfectly healthly if I dropped 15! Sorry to be excited that there are so…
  • I'm with you all! 3 kids later....15 lbs to lose....hardest 15 lbs ever....Being in a healthy weight range doesn't mean that I am any more comfortable with my body though than someone that needs to lose 50!
  • Hubby and I did this last June and it's awesome! We're hoping to get to the June one this year (pretty sure he's organized a group to volunteer, for some reason...so he has all the details!)....It was seriously one of the most fun races I have ever run! Do it!
  • Can I just say I was super excited when I saw the title to this post? And now I'm just sad :( kidding! I have no songs to contribute but I was SHOCKED that BD1 didn't have any Muse!!!!
