I'm currently 138. My goal is 120. Would love to have friends that are motivated and have similar goals!

On top of eating better and exercising, I am also excusively breast feeding wich burns and average of 500 calories. And, it's just something to work toward. I'm not killing myself with exercise or starving just trying to motivate myself.

You feel like this is pointless? Hello, you have lost 71lbs! That is incredible. Look how far you have come in two years. We are all entitled to have a day in the blues so have what I call a "me" day. Rest, take a nap, get a pedicure, read a book, do whatever makes you happy (other than eat all day). Then get up tomorrow…

Thanks for asking this question. I am breast feeding as well and I was wondering how to compensate.

Well my son's 4 and I'm just now trying to lose the baby weight! Great job getting on the wagon early!

Spinach and avacodo dip at applebees. A half of a skillet has over 700 calories!!!

Thank you everyone. It looks like maybe I should eat less fruit. :(

If my son and I are doing something that isn't part of our daily activities, for example playing tag, I will log it. Many times I incoorporate him into my workout because it is more fun (he's almost four). I would take the majority of what you are doing and log it as that. If you are walking or running or lifting kids then…

In a period of just a few months three of my best friends got married. I felt sooo sexy in the bridesmaid dresses and loved the way I felt. Then the pictures came back. I was twice the size of all the other girls. I looked horrible! I had fat rolls coming out of the dresses. That was very depressing. Then I lost 30 lbs and…

I don't know but it never fails, I am ALWAYS over on my sugar intake.

Try a new workout routine. Your body gets used to the same workouts and it becomes hard to lose weight. If you change up your routine you can break through the wall.

Congrats on the baby girl!

Yes, it has happened to me before! I find that if I drink soda I start to break out!

thank you :) I am my own worst critic.

very good point!!

I feel great if I exercise in the morning before I go to work. I am happier, I can concentrate better, and I'm not tired all day. However, for the life of me, I cannot make myself get out of bed even 15 minutes early to exercise. Early in the morning I just have no motivation. I have found that music helps get me in the…

Well I'm down 1.8 lbs since last week's weigh in. I had hoped for a little more but any loss makes me happy!

Wow that sounds soooo good!

Buy some shake n bake extra crispy. Follow the recipe on the back...boneless, skinless chicken breast, 1 cup bbq sauce, and shake n bake. Sooo good and easy too.

I have seen alot of people that are having trouble following the thread (it is a little hard to follow with all of our members). So, I have a suggestion...could we start new threads? One thread for weigh ins and one for daily challenges, check ins and chat. That way we would have specified places to go depending on what we…

Hey is it too late to submit a recipe for the sweet potatoe challenge? I just stumbled on this thread and would love to join in.

Hey everyone! Just checking in. I haven't been doing a very good job the last few days logging my calories though I have been watching what I eat and I'm sure that I have been under my cals. I have been drinking quite a bit of water wich is hard for me to do (I have to add crystal light). I haven't been exercising very…

First of all congrats to everyone! I'm so impressed with everyones progress! Ok here's what this week has offered...3.2 lbs lost. Not as much as I had hoped but it's not a gain so woo-hoo! Looking foward to seeing everyones posts! Good luck.

This is the reason you are such a great leader for us. I come from a long line of overweight family as well and I am dying to break the trend instead of looking just like my mother. Kudos to your positive thinking and keep up the motivation....WE NEED IT!!

Hi all!! Just checking in. I have been doing pretty good overall. I have been working hard to get my 45 minutes of execise in and I'm managing to stay under my calories. YAY!! I'm having trouble getting all of my water in though. I work in surgery and I can't break out and go to the bathroom when ever I want, so I try to…

Hey is it too late for me to join? I need some motivation! I have 25 lbs to loose to meet my healthy BMI. Starting weight is 144.

This group is a great idea! Count me in.

I'm loving this already. Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I think we will all succeed together.
