I am 5 feet exactly and don't ever recall weighting under 120.... Maybe in middle school. I am a stalky build and have always maintained muscle. I weighed 190 at my highest weight after kids and now (almost a year later) I weigh 142. I would like to get down to 130, but I am not sure if I can.... I have done a round of…

So crazy you posted this cause I have felt this way ALL day today! Like my stomach is huge! Two days ago, I felt fine!!!! I think hormone changes and TOM play a big role in his we women view ourselves. No doubt.

Oh my gosh! What an inspiration! You look fantastic! Good job!

BUMP

Tell me about it! After having 2 kids back to back by c section, it's like my middle won't budge! I have done insanity for over a month now and have lost my live handles, but not that big giggly center! I might have to have surgery for all the loose skin that may very well be your problem, the loose skin keep at it and…

Where to even start. It's because of you Tara, that I have been able to do what I have. You inspire me everyday. Your will power, stamina, positivity, and strength are awe inspiring and moving to all who know you. You were beautiful then and even more beautiful now. You have proven to all and yourself that anyone can do…

How old are your shoes? That can make a difference. I also have suffered from them, but only after mile 6 or so. I wear Zensah compression sleeves... they changed my life.

Very inspiring! I am 143 right now and 135 is my goal weight! Wish my stomach looked like yours!

looks like I can't figure this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start slow, if you can't work out, some days will be harder than others and you might go over your calories. It's important NOT to let this get you down. ONE bad meal or ONE bad day of bad eating does not mean you should let go totall and say " I will try again next week" I have been going at this for over 8 months. I have…

our body types look pretty similar! Good for you! Lucky you got to keep your boobs! I still have my belly to work off and am really worried it might not come off! Great job getting into shape so soon after having babies! I waited 18 months after my second to start and that is my only regret that I didn't start sooner! My…

Prego? Not sure if it's a possibility for you, but that's how I feel when I have been pregnant..... how much sodium are you eating? THat could play a role as well.... hope you get better!

YOU LOOK SO GREAT! Just think what you are not only going to look like in the next 3 months, but how you are going to FEEL!!!!!! You can totally do this! Keep at it! Don't give up on yourself! You have come this far on your own! What a great accomplishment!

Before I started MFP and was nursing my daughter, at night to unwind, I would eat a couple sleeves of double stuft oreos with a large glass of milk I can't remember the last time I had an oreo..... it's been several months.

I totally agree about an early bedtime! My husband does grave yard shifts 5 days a week and I feel like I am on board on my own, so I have enforced a strict nap time and bed time schedule! I need it for my SANITY!

"WE WANTED IT ALL AND NOW WE JUST WANT TO PEE ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was seriously on the verge of a mental breakdown this time a couple years back! I have a now 2 and 3 year old and when I started hitting the gym and making time for myself.... everything changed. IF you don't take care of yourself, how can you expect to…

You have to totally inspired me! I am 5 foot exactly and am working on getting down to 120, I am 146 now.... what did you do when your weight loss would stall (if it ever did) GREAT accomplishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH DEAR!!!! I have the personality of a 6 foor tall person, but I am only 5 foot exactly! My highest weight ever was 208. I started MFP in May 2012 at 178 pounds. I have lost 32 on this site. I now weigh 146 pounds. I haven't weighed that in over 10 years! I have 2 small toddlers (2 and 3 year old , 15 months apart, both…

As a woman myself, what I think would get her attention is to just do what you need to do. Follow your work out routines and count your calories. Make healthier lifestyle changes on your own and eventually she will come around on her own because she will see how heathly and happy you are doing what your doing. Speaking…

TOTALLY warm up! But sometimes you will get them no matter what. When I was training for my half marathon this last April, by mile 6 I was in so much pain in my shins, I was taping them to get some relief. A friend of mine mentioned "compression socks/sleeves" I haven't looked back and no longer waste money on tape. Mine…

Although I am super short (5 foot exactly) I went from my highest weight of 208 (july 2010) and am now 146. I weighed 188 In January of 2012.

I have had my IUD in for over 2 months now and really love it. I do have occational spotting and cramping after working out or sex. I have read all the horror stories too, but you have to remember that everyone is different and most of the women on here who got the IUD got it put in soon after having a baby, which, let's…

I started MFP at 178 in May (7 months ago) and have lost 32 pounds..... Some weeks I lost 2.5 pounds, some weeks a half a pound and some weeks I stayed the same for several weeks. Slow and steady is the right way to go!

In 2009 I was pregnant, had that baby and got pregnant again later that same year. My stomach is TRASHED, that being said- it's a daily reminder that I carried my amazing children and gave birth to them. It's a fact of life. If your boyfriend doesn't like em', well I hate to say this, but screw him. Have him push something…

Hi everyone!!! ;-) I have 2 adorable kiddos ages 2 and 3 (they are 15 months apart and both born via c-section) Since starting MFP in May I have lost 29 pounds. I went from a size 14/16 to an 8/10 and an XL to a M. It's been a fun journey and I could not have done it without changing my relationship with food and pushing…

Finding out that Obama is our President for ANOTHER 4 years. I cried. For a little bit. I am scared for my country, my family, and my children's future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It really did help me to look at the bigger picture. I am going to re-think some of the things I am currently eating and change up my work outs. I tend to forget how many different factores can affect the scale ( hormones, PMS, stress ect) I really am in a good place…
