Yep....went up a size...otherwise would have been spot on. Just the conversation that I had with a friend this morning. I look in the mirror and don't see the changes - well, I do - but not as drastic as people around me seem to imply. I did go from a Canadian 16 to 12 (shooting for that 10 soon).

LOVE this! Well said! Take it one day at a time....before you know it your status will pop up as logged in 30 days in a row, 60, 90.... I now look at myself and ask - WHY did I not start this sooner? Believe in yourself, find an amazing group of people to cheer and support you along the way and you WILL get there…

Awesome!!!!!! Makes you want to go do a "happy dance" :) What kind of a workout/weights do you do?

That's awesome!!!!! The relationship with your scale is usually a love/hate thing ... but these types of NSV's are great - they help propel you forward! Keep on ROCKIN'!!!!

You have ABS!!!!! Awesome! I truly hope my mommy tummy can look like yours!!!!

Thanks everyone!

THIS

Amazing achievement!!!!!! Well done :) KEEP ON ROCKIN'!!!! :flowerforyou:

Totally beat me to it .... LOL

I can totally relate! Just had the same question asked by a cousin that I have not seen in a while. My response "Eat less, move more", and she looked at me and said "No, really, what's your secret?". I had to just repeat myself ... we all know there is no "secret" - we just have to get up every morning and DO it.

Ummmmmm .... WHAT stretch marks????? You look AMAZING! I can only hope that my giggly belly riddled with stretch marks looks as good as yours! Hot ... hot ... hot....:flowerforyou:

I have mine since May (it's a Fitbit One), as perviously mentioned - you can sync it under apps. I log all food and activity on MFP, I track distance and "steps" on FitBit. I sync my Fitbit at night before "closing" my MFP diary and the apps "communicate" - I sometimes get an boost in burn factor based on my actual…

Apparently CDC has a BMI calculator for kids and teens. I ran my son through it ... he is morbidly obese. I almost fell off the chair laughing. He is almost 7, 4'3" tall and weighs in at 73 lbs - he is really stocky, has no chubb on his body and is at 95th-98th percentile for both his height and weight according to the…

You look incredible!!!!!! Like a different man .... what a way to start your 30's. And you should not be looking at your story as embarassing .... it's why we are all here .... you should be immensly proud of your accomplishments!!!! Thank you for sharing and showing off.:happy:

LOL ... literally ... people at work asked me if everything was OK. Moderate effort ..... hahahahaha .... still laughing :laugh: :laugh: Go for a walk with your partner before or after ... log that

It's the change in your mindset that's the biggest NSV! Well done :) And never look at a cupcake as a fail! They are delicious - and if you can work them into your day - well deserved treats! Keep doing what you are doing and you will achieve whatever you put your mind to!

I am a 36DD (E sometimes, depending on the brand) as well, and jumping jacks/running or any kind of work out was brutal. I ended up buying a Tata Tamer II (lululemon) - well worth the $58. They also offer the band/cup sizes, which is really helpful, so you can try them on and do some jumping in the changeroom to see how…

Amazing! Can't wait until I "lose" my son :) Sometimes when he falls asleep beside me and I pick him up and carry him to his bed I think .... I can't beleive I am carrying all this with me ALL THE TIME ..... not having to do that would be awesome!

WOW!!!!!! That's a lot of steps! And I agree .. walking only gets you so far ... strength training is important too.

Got my FitBit in May, I aim for a daily walk (5K, that's about 6,000 steps) every morning - a brisk walk, mind you. I am not a runner (I may become one, you never know) - the rest seems to come from daily life. I park in the furthest spot in the parking lot at work, grocery store and the mall. At work, if I need to ask…

35 with 2 kids .... ready to support and motivate when needed, not much wtg's on every single status update though .... if that's OK with whomever is reading this ... feel free to add me.

WOW ... you look great! Another advocate for lifting heavy and "bulking up". Thumbs up all the way!!!!

Way to go on the weight loss! Check out local gyms .... they are bound to have classes like cardio and abs, total body toning ... they are not strictly lifting, more like using your own body for resistance ... but that would be a great place to start :) Good luck with the wedding ... I am sure your daughter and you will…

Thank you!!!! I think that's exactly what made it awesome (since someone else at work asked how much weight have you lost?)

That's an awesome NSV!!!!! I think I just might go home and pull out my boustier ;) And never an over-share on these forums - everything goes ..... My husband did make a comment the other night that sex with me feels different (good) - it's like we are in our early twenties again (LOL) - after 2 kids - I'll take it!!!!!…

You look incredible! Reading your story has given me soooo much more motivation to keep going :) Thank you for being my MFP friend :D

The first time my husband and I were away from the kids for 4 days was last year (my daughter was 7 and my son 5 at the time). I was freaking out!!!!! BUT .... it is true - you miss them more then they miss you. The first night they were a little dissapointed that I was not there to tuck them in ... but otherwise OK. I…

Yes! This ..... especially the towel ;) Looking good!!!!
