Put on my all-weather mocs this weekend- and walked right out of them! My feet haven't lost length but they are definitely more narrow. It's so weird, it's not like they looked chubby before!

Ok, first of all, you are awesome! The 3 year old would probably love to start helping you in the kitchen. Some boys get really interested in cooking at that age- my nephew says it's like building, but you get to eat what you build! Find some easy and kid-friendly recipes on-line, that might be a good place to start with…

Boy, have I been there! I did the same darned thing, just over a longer period of time. The good news is that you KNOW you can lose the weight, you know what to do! If you have the willpower to quit smoking, you can do anything you set your mind to!

I love mine. You've probably seen the problems it has- the device is a little fragile and sometimes the website is buggy. I got my first one a month ago and killed it almost immediately. Fitbit sent me a replacement- their customer service really is wonderful. I was surprised at how quickly the Fitbit became part of my…

That is just flat out awesome! Way to go!

Megawatt smile, girl! Way to go!!

I definitely had this problem when I first started losing. My main issue was that I never really "saw" my weight gain, so my brain told me I was fine even though my scale kept going up. Once I started losing weight, it was like all I could see was how far I had to go. What helped me was having a piece of clothing that was…

I'm willing to bet that the other (younger) riders are now inspired! Too many of us lose our passion as we get older, congratulations on being great at something you love!

BUMP and a big thank you!!!

Only one word for this- FANTASTIC!!!

Congratulations, that's awesome!!!

Yesterday was my first day with my FitBit, it's been fun! My husband and I are already competing with each other. I went on a long walk with the dog last night just to get over 10k steps.

Our 11 year old is at sleep-away camp this week. My husband took the week off so he could help me hang wallpaper, that is love!!!

Honey, I wish I could give you a hug. I am so sorry that this happened to you!

This! My hubs has lost 3 more pounds than I have. He looks great! I swear he did not need to lose weight to begin with, but he wanted to support me. I told him that if he REALLY wanted to support me, he'd moan and groan about how hard it is! Instead, he pops out of bed at 5:30 every morning ready to go to the gym. He's…

Good for you! I am right there with you, been smoking since I was 16. Have been going strong for two months now, I can tell a huge difference. Keep it up, you can do it!

You are amazing, thank you for inspiring me today. You found your true self!

Wow, you look great! Congrats!

I love this post, fantastic determination and focus! Awesome job!

I make a big jug of cucumber and lemon water each morning and drink it throughout the day. it has really cut down on my salt cravings. For sugar cravings, I have a stash of hard candies (my favorite lollipops are 50 calories each) and I'll have one after dinner when I want something sweet. Keeps my taste buds occupied…

What comes through in your story is your passion for cycling and your drive to compete. That is truly awesome to see. Thanks for sharing your story, it is going to stick with me for sure. Amazing!

Nenya, that is some of the best advice I've ever seen! Cwilliams, I know you're frustrated, but anyone who can maintain that weight loss for as long as you have (with 7 kids!) is one tough cookie. Good luck to you!

I lost my motivation for over a year, more like 18 months. I knew I had gained weight back, and I knew I had lost muscle tone. I wasn't happy with how I looked, but didn't do anything to change it. I had a treadmill and a gym membership and they both collected dust. I started thinking about working out again in April, and…

I am 5"7, 155.5, started out at 165 and a tight size 12, now at a comfortable 10, but a long way to go!!! Thank you to everyone for posting in here, I feel like I have found my people! You guys are so inspiring!

Seriously, you look amazing! I am so glad you are happy with the results from your surgery so far. Thank you for posting, this has been my inspiration today!

Boy, do I hate PF, this is my third year of living with it. I've done inserts, shots, custom shoes, etc. Be sure and stretch your whole leg, especially hip flexors and IT band (you know, after you get your fascia and hamstrings stretched out enough to actually be able to stand.) My podiatrist told me the triggers were 1)…
