Great suit. I have the same one and love it. I'm only 5'0 and the scale has not moved at all. One day it will go down a pound and the next its back up! I'm at 124.4 this morning but like you I'm just wanting to see changes in certain areas. I'm hoping by 4th of July and after completing my 5k I will see a difference in my…

Crockpot Chicken Tacos 3 Frozen chicken breasts 1 can corn drained 1 can black beans drained and rinsed 1 package of taco seasoning 1 can of Rotel Cook on low for 7 hours or so, then cook warm until your ready to eat. My crockpot automatically switches to low after the hours I input for cook setting or up. Very handy since…

5'0 even. I did marry someone that is 6'2 though. I'm only attracted to tall guys. Is this true for most shorties?

You have lost 41 pounds. That is awesome. Great job on the program and getting great results. Also awesome you are becoming a coach. You will inspire a lot of people.

Motivated mom here too. I want to tone up, lose a few pounds and become one hot mom and wife! I too slack on the weekends with logging my calories and eating right. I need to come into this decade and get a smart phone so I track more on the weekends. Friend me if you want. I'm trying to come on daily. Just need to add in…

I'm with you. Mommy of two and married 10 years. I want to be a hot mom and hot wife. Feel free to add me. You can do this. One day soon we will be turning heads!

Feel free to add me. I just completed week 1 of this 8 week 5k program. It was pretty easy but I have a feeling by week 4 I'll be wanting to quit. Signed up for my first 5k in June and have never run 3 miles in my life so I need to stick to the training so I can run that race.

Great job. Keep up the good work. I swear I need to get into this decade and get a smart phone. I never track on weekends only during the week since I use the computer more M-F. This site has been a huge help to read success stories and also for me to track my calories, water intake and workouts.

Mine is Diet Mtn Dew. I have one at work every morning. Most days I am down to 1 can a day. I used to drink 2-3 cans a day. However I know its not good for me. I need to quit drinking it all together. All pop. Curious to see how others have given it up. I have been drinking pop since I was 12 and way too much of it. That…

Feel free to add me. I signed up to run my first 5k the end of June. I have never been a runner. I blame it on my short legs (only 5 feet tall), but I don't think that is a good excuse. My husband hasn't ran all year and just ran a 5k on the treadmill in under 27 minutes. I hate men!!!! Just kidding. However I'm going to…

Great Work.

Great job. Keep up the awesome work.

I'm a 31 year old working mom with two little girls age 5 and 2. I also attend college part time so life is busy to say the least. I could use all the support I can get so anyone please fill free to add me. I'm training for my first 5k. I don't have a ton to lose but maybe 5-10 pounds, that may not seem a ton but I'm only…

I had mine removed in a few years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. A few small incisions in my stomach. It is an out patient surgery but try to schedule on a Thursday or Friday and don't go into work until Monday at least. I had to stay overnight since I was pregnant as a precaution. Also, it was more painful…

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 31 with two young daughters. My mother lives less than a mile away. She hasn't called me since January 1st. The only time in the past 10 years I hear from her is if I call her. I decided in January that I was done keeping the relationship going. If she wants to see her grandchildren she…

North Dakota. Have you seen the movie Fargo? Even though I live here I have never even seen the movie! Yes we still have snow. Yes the temperature is suppose to be below 32 degrees again today. Friday is scheduled to be 38 and sunny so you can bet several of us will not wear coats and students at the college I work at will…

I'm just starting out running again since I signed up for my first 5k Walking speed is 3.8 to 4.0 Running speed is usually 5.5 but trying to up that. 5.5 is a 10:45 min mile so a slower pace. My goal is to just run my 5k in 30 min without dying! If you aren't trying to be a fast runner do the pace that feels good for you…

Feel free to add me. I only have a few friends too but they are great. So motivating.

SW - 125.6 CW - 122.6 Goal 1 - 120 Goal 2 -115 If, correction WHEN I get to 115 I will reevaluate to see if I can go lower. I'm 5'0 tall. Of course I probably shrinking now that I hit my 30's. I'll be the 80 year old that can't drive because I'm too short to see over the steering wheel!!!!

Crockpot chicken tacos 3 frozen chicken breasts 1 can black beans drained and rinsed 1 can rotel 1 can corn drained 1 package of taco seasoning Cook on low 8 to 10 hours (mine cooks on low for 8 and then the crockpot automatically goes to keep warm) Shred with fork when you get home. Serve in taco shells with your fixings…

The crockpot was one of the best inventions for working moms. Here are a few of my recipes. I have never added up the calories but I think they are fairly healthy. Just don't add too many toppings! Crockpot chicken tacos 3 frozen chicken breasts 1 can black beans drained and rinsed 1 can rotel 1 can corn drained 1 package…

Just starting out at this again! Height - 5'0, Age 31 SW - 125.6 (though I think I was just bloated that day) CW - 124.0 GW - 115 (you smaller ladies are inspiring) Maybe once I hit 115 I can make a new goal of 110. My goal on here says 1200 calories but I'm finding I never feel full on that. I need to eat better foods.…

I'm happy to say I'm not struggling. We are debt free except the darn mortgage that will never go away! Actually in will in 12 years since we refinanced to a 15 year loan. That meant $150 more in payment a month but it is worth it to chop the mortgage time in half. We had to sacrifice, but it was actually pretty easy. Even…

Hey I'm Rachel. Height 5'0 Highest Weight - 135 (after having my 2nd baby) Starting Weight -125.6 Current Weight - 124 Lowest Weight - 95 (ha this was 15 years ago when I was in high school and first started dating my husband) Goal Weight 1 - 119 Goal Weight 2 - 115 My ultimate goal is to lose a few pounds but really tone…

Just starting on this journey. I'm 5' only and weight 124. I'm 31. This is the weight prior to getting pregnant with my first kid 6 years ago. Of course it went up and back down after two babies. I'd really like to get to 115 since I'm only 5' tall. Any suggestions you guys have would be great. I am doing classes at the…

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I will write down a ton of the ideas and add them to my grocery run for the weekend. I think I will get better at making healthy quick breakfasts at home once my daughter starts Kindergarten in August. I should get in the habit now though. I will have to feed her breakfast every…

That is amazing. I bet some people don't even recognize you if they haven't seen you for a while. Remember YOU DID THIS! So now that you have done this go out and pursue all your other goals and dreams. Keep up the hard work. You have inspired many.

Here is my favorite chicken taco recipe in the slow cooker. Not sure on nutritional info since I have never calculated it, but I think its fairly healthy if you don't load up on too many toppings. 3 Frozen chicken breasts 1 can corn drained 1 can of black beans drained and rinsed 1 can of rotel 1 package of taco seasoning…

Add me. I work full time, go to school part time, have two young girls, a house and a husband who is rarely home. I try to fit in the gym three days a week but its difficult and that seems to just maintain my weight rather than help me lose weight. I really only want to lose 5 pounds or so. Have little willpower and find…
