OMGoodness! I can share a story about when I was pregnant. I was already overweight and I admittedly wasn't too far along in my pregnancy. I was at work helping a customer (old man) and he, his wife and I were talking about what they do or used to do for a living. He was telling me how he is an engineer. The conversation…

Well, what my doctor told me was that your body can take whatever you were doing before. This means that you shouldn't start new high intensity work out programs or anything like that, but continuing your working out (slightly modified, especially when the belly starts growing) isn't a big deal. Like you can still jog and…

It happens to everyone girl! :) I know how you feel. Just be happy that you realized it. It took me 3 years and a baby also!! I was ALSO 60 lbs-ish heavier than when we met & finally I decided to make a difference in my life- both of us have. We are doing so much better now. You can do this! No matter if you have 15 lb to…

I love my starbucks and I thought this was good info for anyone who also loves it! :) I'm glad you all like this info!!! :smile:

How about we make the challenge until the end of September so that will make 8 weeks long! Any friends that want to join need to write on the wall as well (just makes it easier for me to message them!) What specifics are you looking for?

You got this girl! I'm with ya!! Do you have facebook? Join the facebook site too- extra reminders! :) Have your friends join the challenge too if you can. What is your goal for the month of August?? :flowerforyou:

I feel you. I am the opposite. Since having my daughter i lose off my sides, but not off my front belly.:(

Well if you are exercising that much and not eating all the calories it tells you then you probably aren't getting enough food. You should eat back at least some of your exercise calories. Don't starve yourself.

:tongue: Yeah yeah! I think people get the wrong idea. When i say I'm fasting...I'm not going to stop eating, I'm eating a TON of stuff that is good for me...that is all it is... :)

Hmm... I understand where you are. Reason 1- If you don't do it now, when will you? Reason 2- Who is going to do if for you? Reason 3- You should strive to do better for yourself/ don't be a quitter. Reason 4- You are worth it. Reason 5- This one hits hard with me..If I would have just done it to begin with... How much…

Wow...thank you, all of you. But Claire...what you said...just made it...SO clear. I am a BIG analogy person. If you can explain it in an analogy I for sure get it and you made it so easy for my brain to understand. Thank you. =) SO much.

Hello everyone. Thank you for the responses. I contacted the seller and she is giving me the information of others who were interested. The little dog is adorable, but I just cannot handle it. The original owner will be out of town until July 12. I'm not sure if they will take her back or not. I'm just nervous.

You look great! & SO SO much healthier & happier!

WOW!!! you look AMAZING! I'm so jealous! I bet you are ecstatic about being in ONEDERLAND!

What a success!! I can't wait until I can get to size 14. I'm hanging out in the 18 is too big, but 16 is a lil too tight for my liking area!!

Wow what an inspiration! You may have just motivated me to get to 50 pounds... I've been sitting at 37 for awhile. 50 isn't too far!!! :)

You look fantatic!!:smile:

You can do it! :)

Hmm...I'm not to the point where I want to start lifting "heavy" weights, but its good to know.

Wow there are a lot of people who lose it in there belly area first! That is awesome! I'm JEALOUS of you! :)

YES YES YES!!!! :) SO great! I'm really happy for you! Once I do my race in JULY I will be posting mine too! Congrats homie! :)

WOW!! THAT IS AWESOME! You look like a different person.

Thanks to everyone! And LOL @ the booty comment! HAHA

Thank you! :) I also see a difference in my chin/face area! I appreciate all of the nice comments. While taking a 2nd look at it, I think I see the biggest difference in my back fat area!

I could be completely wrong and everyone says something different about eating your exercise calories, but maybe you should try eating less of your exercise calories? Try only eating half of them or something and see if that makes a difference. It could be that your heart rate monitor (or however you calculate calories) is…

YOu feel guilty because you are SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE!! I eat a very low amount of calories/day (doctor recommended) but I don't feel bad for eating if I eat the normal amount of calories. You have to have REASONABLE expectations. How tall are you? Have you ever thought maybe you are as thin as you need to be?…

You look awesome! :) What an inspiration!

Yay!! :) That is a great success! Not a small success! Congrats to you! I had a similar experience about a month or two ago. Good luck on the rest of your weight loss journey.

This is a great thread!! :) Ok- I love my hair, my freckles, my shoulder blades (weird, i know) and my collar bone!! :) I also like my eyes!! Thank you for posting this and helping me remember what I have! I have been trying to focus on what I do have & the positive things!! :)

WOW! You look AMAZING! :) Congrats!
