I'd love to just start a group for all of us in this range, anyone interested? Name ideas? me: 29yrs old, 5'5", CW:187lbs GW: 140lbs mother of one beautiful little 3 year old daughter (and a bunch of 4 legged fur babies) Feel free to add me as a friend

Thanks everyone! I can't say I'm a quitter yet :-( I work nights and b/c of my husband's work schedule have our 3 yr old daughter for a good portion of the days, so I've been using the excuse of a 3am pick me up/break. Boo on me! This crazy schedule is driving me crazy......

Arghh, still trying to figure out how to incorporate these workouts into my days when I work multiple night shifts in a row..... Usually I do them at work, but have been too busy the past couple nights... Hope everyone else is doing good!

You look amazing and I bet you feel amazing too! I am starting a few pounds heavier than you, but our body shape looks the same. I hope to be able to post the same kind of results photos by the end of the year! Thank you for the motivation!

So I did power yoga this day, not the Blogilates one..... I was so sore from kettle bell that I needed a (somewhat) relaxing workout. I did the ab stuff yesterday and I have to admit I am really liking Cassey! At first I thought she was a little bubbly, but she is so inspirational and I love how she goes off topic all the…

Did the New Body workout (legs,arms,abs) 30min. Definitely hard! I look forward to getting stronger so I can keep up better!

Very inspirational! Keep up the good work! I hope to be in your place someday soon.

I have to admit I am a little bit nervous about the intensity, but hope to find motivation in my Blogilates buddies on here!

Ready to go!

I'm definitely interested! Does she have a specific 90 day program on there or were you thinking more choose as you go? Let me know!

Hi Megan! I sent you an add request. I'm not a vegan but have vegetarian tendencies and would love to try going vegan, just haven't figured out how to do that w/ my meat-loving husband and daughter! Plus I'm a little bit of a cheese lover. I am an emergency vet tech and have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a few fish. I agree that…

Yes! And cookies, especially homemade(cookie dough anyone?). I give in too often to my 3 year old wanting to make cookies, she loves baking with mama!

You will do it! We are all here for each other. I feel the same way and want, no NEED, to get things right from now on.

I slice over ripe bananas into 1/4" slices, put them on a plate in the freezer for an hour or so, then blend them in my Vitamix blender until they are a soft-serve consistency. You definitely have to scrape the sides down a few times to get them all blended. If you're adding PB or something else, that helps get the…

I've been wanting to try this! Glad to hear it has turned out well!

Thanks everyone! I do think that I have a tendency to set almost unattainable goals, like losing a large amount of weight before a certain event. If I can focus more on healthy choices and less on a short time period, I think I will do better.

Thanks everyone, it's nice to know there are others out there struggling with this! I do think that I do better when I do as lacroyx says and just stay within my calorie goals. I know that it does matter to your body when you eat, but right now I'm not sure that I can fix that problem.

Yum! Grew up in Louisiana but living in Colorado the past 4 years......will be making these soon! Thanks for posting!

I would love to join in! Currently a 12/14 and itching to get back into single digits!

I need to quit smoking and lose weight, so its nice to see some other people out there who have done/are doing it! I need to quit for me most of all, but also I have an almost 3 year old daughter who sees me doing it way too often and I don't want to be a bad example for her. I think she has learned what a camel is just…

1.) How old are your children and how many do you have? (share names if you wish) I have an almost 3 year girl named Elyse 2.) Will you be planning to have more kids in your future? We would love to, just not sure when yet! 3.) How was your pregnancy/delivery? Pregnancy was wonderful, not even a drop of morning sickness!…

I would love to be a part of your journey! I'm 29 and mother to a beautiful 3yr old daughter. I lost around 20lbs 6mo after having her (some of that was stress loss as my husband and I broke up for a little while) and have gained all of it back! I live in Colorado and feel like I am the biggest cow, everyone here is pretty…

I am 29 and wanting to lose 30-50lbs (I have a large frame and highish muscle mass so not sure how much it will take for me). 1200cal/day is my current goal. I've been feeling very down recently so would love to try being held accountable by more folks on here! I have friended people before, but they never follow through…

I'm 5'5" CW 180lbs GW 135 However, I've got a larger, muscular build so I'm not so sure I could get there in a healthy manner. I have a feeling that will change as I lose weight and see what my body looks like. I'm definitely more interested in just being healthy and having a lower body fat %. It's nice to see this post…

Started P90x Lean program this week and have done 4 days of it so far.......I can't remember the last time I've been this sore! It feels great, actually, to know that I'm accomplishing something! The workouts aren't quite as brutal as I remember, but I guess that means I am in slightly better shape than the last time I…

I go through phases of loving water, then will go for a while where I can't stand the thought of drinking plain old water all day. The best remedy I have found is actually FOOD! Fresh, raw foods provide almost all the water we need and if you hate drinking water, eating is certainly a good option to make sure you are…

I've been trying to take it one day at a time. I was doing well for a week or so, then got tired from too many overnight shifts at work and regressed to eating fast food. Boy did I feel horrible after! I literally didn't feel like I could get up. It's definitely not worth the 10 min of "bliss" while eating to feel like…

Just started on here and need to find some positive vibes as well :-)

What an inspirational thread! Thanks for sharing with everyone! I hope I can post some good before/after pics in the next few months!

Crystal Light is a powdered drink mix (also comes premade, I think) that is zero calorie or low calorie, I can't remember. Made with artificial sweeteners. I personally don't like the taste, just b/c it tastes artificial to me; however, I know lots of people that love it. It comes in a lot of fruity flavors. All of these…
