Congrats! You deserve to wear your bikini.

Don't get bummed. Many people say when the weight is not going down, try checking your measurements.

tattoo bikini parasailing (as long as my husband doesn't totally freak out) Short Term Goal: I sew, so I plan to sew a great Vogue outfit (when I get to the Vogue Pattern size) For those that want to get pregnant, I have to say MFP helped to make me healthier (pre-baby), which allowed me to have a successful pregnancy. Now…

Thanks Pu_239

This photo was last May at the White House. This was last summer. I was so excited to sew a dress for myself but was upset at the amount of fabric it took. My first New Years Eve out in many years.

Rachel I am headed back to grad school. I took a break after baby #2. Now I'm working on losing that weight too. I am a little concerned about balancing life while going back to school. I know that being healthy will make life so much easier. Feel free to add me I'm building support as well.

I have also noticed how good I feel after doing Turbo Jam. I went to my kickboxing class at the gym today. I already did Turbo Jam 3x this week. This week I lost 2lbs and 0.5 inches.

We sound very similar. I have two young kids. I had past success with MFP. I am working off the weight from baby #2. My gym is near my job. I have taken off of work early some days just to spend that time on me. I have used my lunch break (other moms at my job do that as well). I have two days a week that my husband pics…

I have inspired my son to work out. He wanted to know what abs were. I told him but I hope to be able to show him.

I started today with Turbo Jam. I am working off the weight from baby #2. I can use all the support I can get.

I just started today and was contemplating how many times per week I would do this DVD. I finally decided on 3x per week. So I'm in. I plan to mix this up with Tu/Th gym and Sat. morning kickboxing.

Congrats

I got up the nerve to do kickboxing this week. This was big because my best friend was supposed to go with me and could not at the last minute. I went anyway and loved it.

56 sticks of butter

I have been waiting to get my butterfly. I think that is the ultimate symbol of change.

I am not a vegetarian but I gave meat for a period of time. I found some great products by Morning Star and Boca. My husband and son who are a big meat eaters grew fond of them. My son even enjoyed getting some of his veggies that way.

Thank you

I'm in. I've been going to the gym but I feel like I need an extra push.

I had to check out that site and she really does look great.

Years ago I worked at a store and had unlimited access to MD. When I tried to stop drinking it, I started getting headaches. I had become physically addicted to it. I have ready that you can become dehydrated and even constipated from lack of water. I know it sounds gross but I've read that they body will try to reabsorb…

Very Inspiring.

There are many wonderful people and helpful tools here.

I'm back. I realize that I need to get healthy. Not skinny but healthy. I've been trying for almost 7 years to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm proud of my self for the fact that I keep trying but I'm also embarrassed that I'm here again. I now have more on my plate, work, going back to school as well as being a…

Okay, I totally fell off head first. I have pretty much done nothing in two weeks. I know I've put on weight cause I can feel it. I had done so well I lost 11lbs. I'm scared to weigh in and I bought a new dress to wear to a wedding next week. I'm scared to try it on. I motivated for my health but I rarely buy clothes so Im…

I wonder what you are cooking. When I cook certain foods I just can't get enough. When I cook baked chicken and cabbage or broccoli, I tend not to over indulge. Also you may have to put the food out of site so that you are less likely to go for it. I've also started eating on smaller plates.

When you notice you have muscles you didn't know ever had on your body. ( I found was in the mirror and found my triceps today. Had to call my husband in to look. He was surprised too.) When people tell you your butt looks smaller. When you workout when your sick.

We did the BBQ yesterday. I logged in what I thought I was going to eat. Boy did I eat more. I didn't go over because I worked out yesterday. I did end up with an upset stomach though. Lesson learned.
