Thanks, all!

As of this morning, I have a "healthy" BMI for the first time since I got married almost 9 years ago! (I know this isn't original, but I still wanted to share.) Yahoo!!!!

I'm sad to update (and considered not doing it), but feel like I have to keep track of the highs and the lows. So... My weigh-in days aren't weekly and don't have a regular schedule, so I missed Monday's update. Here's my info from today's weigh-in: Weigh-in Day!! Challenge Start Weight (9/4): 141.6 lbs Halloween Goal…

My weigh-in days aren't weekly and don't have a regular schedule, so I missed Monday's update. Here's my info from today's weigh-in: Weigh-in Day!! Challenge Start Weight (9/4): 141.6 lbs Halloween Goal Weight: 131 lbs9-17: 138.8 9-27: 136.8 10-2: 10-8: 10-15: 10-22: 10-29: 10-31:TOTAL: 4.8 pounds lost

THIS!!!! I bf my twins until they were 9-10 months old, and somewhere around their 6-month birthday I hit my lowest weight of the last 5 years. They just sucked the fat right out of me! But for the first few months your body is supposed to hold on to the fat, so you can share it with the baby. Enjoy this time and don't…

I'm not sure I can (or should) make it down another 20 by Christmas, but I could push my ulitmate goal down a few pounds to allow for an even (and amazing!) 15 lb loss. I am looking forward to some extra motivation from this group! So, here goes... CW: 138.8 GW: 123.8 (Ultimate goal has always been set at 125, so I'd be…

I have only lost 18 pounds, but... My clothes are fitting better. I don't really miss watching TV. I don't mind seeing myself naked. I finally have enough energy to tackle things that have been on my to-do list for more than 3 years! I can (and do) slip, and completely fall off the wagon, and get back on track again…

I'm in.

Congratulations! That is a wonderful accomplishment, and is definitely a big deal!

I'm having your yesterday day today, so thank youi for the inspirationg, and way to go on being strong! Here's to an even better day for both of us tomorrow!

All of them, because you can learn something fromm every single one! :-) But if I had to choose, somewhere as "undeveloped" (I hate that word) as you can get, untouched by our "modern society". I think we may have the most to learn from people who have never been influenced by our current way of life. What's the most…

Yum!

Congrats to all of you! Keep it up!

I felt this way all day yesterday, even after a huge loss on the scale and a decent loss in inches. I think TOM has something to do with it for me, as someone else mentioned. I must have stood in front of the mirror for, well, way longer than I want to admit, wishing away my fat parts. The good news is, as long as I'm…

Bravo! You may not realize it yet, but when you look back at this time in your life, I think you will realize you just changed the course of who you are and all that you can become. Congratulations!!

I'm 5'1.75, but I like to round up. :-) Whether you feel like you have a few more pounds to lose isn't for me to judge, but is entirely up to you. I think you'll find a lot of shorties on this site, although many of us have a bit more than a few pounds to lose. Hopefully this post will help you find other "little ones"…

Congratulations!! We seem to have similar stats (although I think your progress is much more noticeable than mine). I also started 8 weeks ago and I'm down approximately 13 pounds, too. Feel free to add me if you want someone who's in a similar boat to cheer you along. Great job!

Find a friend (maybe even one on MFP) who is striving (and motivated) to get up and exercise at the same time. Exchange phone numbers, and try to make sure your friend is up with you each morning...we do this via text message, and it's encouraging and hysterical! Usually it goes something like this: Me: "Ugh. I don't…

Could you add me please? Thanks for setting this up!

The last time I wore these pants (6 weeks ago), I came home from work with the button imprinted on my stomach (you could see all of the holes in the button, in addition to the big circle). Today, I'm wearing them with a belt because: 1. My pants are too big, and (even better) 2. My underwear are too big, too, and they were…

Congratulations! You look great, and your progress is motivating! I saw your profile picture with your twins...I'm going to send you a friend request because I love seeing other twin mamas succeeding on here!

Congratulations!!!!! And THANK YOU! You (and people like you) are the motivation I need to keep going when I think I can never have my high school body back. Our stats are very similar, and you are so inspiring! Thank you again! Way to go!

Congratulations! Keep up the hard work, you are looking great!

1. Laziness. 2. TV. 3. Booze. 4. I love food (even after I stopped tasting/appreicating how delicious it was, I kept eating). 5. I had twins=Sleep deprivation+eating breastfeeding calories (for TWO) even after I stopped breastfeeding. 6. I ignored my body (and my tight-fitting clothes) because I didn't want to have to do…

Congratulations! You've done an amazing job, and should be very rpoud of yourself. If you decide to go after those last 10 pounds, don't lose sight of what you have already accomplished! Thanks for inspiring the rest of us!

I want to be at or under 140 by the Olympics (ok, my birthday week), so I have 7 more pounds to go. I'd also like to be maintaining between 125 and 130 by the end of the year. Good luck to all in keeping with the things that help you reach your goals!

I made these last night, and they are easy and delicious! (My toddlers love them, too.) Thanks!

Thanks, all! I had two yummy chicken fajitas with veggies in corn tortillas, added a measured 1/2 Tbsp of sourcream to each, and topped it with salsa. And I avoided the chips all together!
