Jessica - congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome! :happy: :flowerforyou: See, I kept telling you not to give up - it WOULD pay off (and it is now) I had a rough week last week, so I'm not sure how my weigh in is going to go. I don't think I'll be up, but I don't know about going down. :indifferent: I bet you are super…

Of course! :flowerforyou: I have a friend who does Zumba and she loves it! I haven't tried it yet, but I am doing the Slim in 6 program by Beachbody and I LOVE it! I feel that I'm getting GREAT results (I've lost 10 pounds in one month...I can't complain)

Tami - how did you lose so much weight before getting pregnant with #2? What tips and secrets can you share with us? How long did it take you to lose 135 pounds?

My weigh in day is Wednesday and I am SOOOO excited. I hit my 10 pound goal today! I'm down to 157! Woohoo! :happy: I'm not going to add a goal for each week, I hope that's okay. I did put an ending goal! :happy: SW - 09.09 - 161.4 09.14 - 157 (-4.4 pound loss) 09.21 - 09.28 - 10.05 - 10.12 - 10.19 - GOAL - 149 How is…

I'm in! Weighed in this morning...157. I am officially down 10 pounds since starting MFP on August 17th! Woohoo!

Tami - so how is your new little man doing? How's big brother adapting to his new role? :happy: :flowerforyou:

Hey Jessica - I am so super excited today! I'm down to 157. A loss of -4.4 since last Wednesday. Woohoo! All that and it's my TOM....I couldn't be any happier today! I am totally convinced that we can kick butt on this 9 week challenge. What are using as the starting date for the challenge? How are you doing today? Where…

Tami - I'm in with you! I'm not pregnant, but actually hoping to get pregnant in the next few months! I think you look fantastic and I couldn't agree more that you need to be patient and give yourself time to recover #1 and get into your new routine and lifestyle now with baby #2! I just thought I would share that I am…

ctucker - do you have PCOS? I haven't heard of estrogen being in your fat cells but what you described sounds a little like PCOS (without being labeled such) If you don't mind me asking, do you have normal periods? Do you have any other "weird" symptoms? Are you insulin resistant or have sugar problems? The only reason I…

Hugs to you! We, too, have lost three babies. Our circumstances are much different but to recap we went through infertility treatment and became pregnant with twins. I miscarried one of them and due to other factors the doctor was worried that the other baby was in my tubes. I was rushed into emergency surgery and a…

Gnastro - I meant to comment on your 20 year anniversary too - that's wonderful! And nowadays that's quite an accomplishment! :flowerforyou: Jessica - I hear ya girl. My TOM started yesterday and I'm not feeling the greatest, but I did get my workout in. I've been gaining weight the past two weigh ins and I finally think…

Hi there ladies....I too am hoping to lose some weight before trying to have another baby. I have a daughter who just turned 6 and we've tried to have another baby several times (we go through infertility treatment) and we've been through our share of heartache. I finally switched to a new doctor and I have found that even…

Hi everyone! Is it too late to join? I know I'm a little behind, but I started a 6 week challenge for myself today to try and slim down as much as I can by my 30th birthday which is exactly 6 weeks from today. I'm officially down 7 pounds, but my weigh in day is Wednesday and I think I'm going to be happy with the results!…

Silver - I actually went up for 2 weeks, so try and stay on point and the results will pay off! :flowerforyou: Gnastro - the more the merrier! I just joined in on the 9 weeks yesterday! We can do this - let's lose 20 pounds of baggage and feel better about ourselves! Jessica - I think the 2 days off will do you lots of…

The water challenge is to drink 64 oz or 2 liters of water every day for the next month. We have a support group titled "A New Me" which has been such a wonderful asset to all of us involved and we dedided to create "challenges" to keep each other motivated to keep up on our new lifestyles. Feel free to check out our group…

I think we should just add each day that we have met the minimum water goal of 64 oz or 2 liters. Does that sound good?

I hear ya! My hubby has been working out with me (granted I have lots more to lose) so I understand that motivation. We are hoping to try for another baby later this year too - see I've got every reason to stay motivated. It sounds like you may be getting shin splints. That happened to me earlier this year. Have you bought…

Congrats on the 50 pounds lost! You are doing so amazing! You look great and you sound like you are feeling wonderful! Keep going girl - you can do this! :happy: :happy: :happy: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Jessica - that sounds great to me! I need all the motivation that I can get too! Okay - you can report your changes on Sunday and I'll do mine on Wednesday since we each already have our weigh in days! :happy: I think it's a great idea to be checking in often, how else are you going to find the motivation? I went on a 40…

WOW! What a difference! You are doing a fabulous job. Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou: :happy:

I love the new pics! Thanks for sharing! Remember to be kind to yourself! You just had a baby and you WILL get back to where you want to be in no time! Enjoy the little guy while he's still that little. As you know, they grow up entirely too fast! :flowerforyou: :heart:

Way to go! That is awesome! You are half way there - you can do this! :happy: :flowerforyou:

Jessica - I'm in with you! I'm so glad that you didn't give up after not seeing a difference. I actually went up the past 2 weeks and I have been a little discouraged but I haven't given up. Well today I weighed in and I am down almost 3 pounds. My weigh in day is Wednesday, so I want to hold off on my actual weight loss…

Thanks for sharing! I love the mouthwash strips....we all know that noone likes to eat with that freshly mint taste in your mouth (and if you do eat things taste nasty)....lol :laugh:

What is your name? I'd like to refer to you as something other than SDawg.... :happy: :flowerforyou: How is your FIL doing now? The distance makes the situation even harder, I am sure. Are you on the west or east coast? Great job for doing well while visiting family this weekend. I know that's a challenge in itself, that I…
