My goal is to weigh 135 by July (CW 161) and run six 5K races this year! Feel free to add me!

You look great! Congrats - really well done!

I agree. MFP is like therapy for me. Most of my real friends are already in great shape and don't understand why I am so crazy about scanning and logging my food all the time and pre-planning my workouts for the week. It's nice to have friends that understand what I am going through on here!

Hi there! Feel free to add me for support - I log daily and weigh in 1-2 times a week. I am also shedding for my wedding, but my wedding is in October 2014! Good luck with your goals. You are going to look great on your wedding!

Hi Ashlee! I live in NJ too and I am getting married in Oct 2014! I'd love to support to you. You've got this!

My policy is to only log true workout sessions - outdoor runs/gym sessions/workout dvds. I think I would be doing myself a disservice by adding back the other calories from regular activity. In my opinion, those are just life activities that everyone does and I have always been doing them - even when overweight and guess…

I have the polar FT7 and I love it! It's changed the way I workout and I am convinced it's one of the main reasons I keep making progress.

I was just thinking about this. I will start it on Monday as well! I need something new in my workouts.

What a transformation! You look HOT! Can you share some tips that worked for you?

I actually think I do better at work now that I am more confident as a result of my weight loss and I also dress better! From a physical perspective, I can actually run a 5K without stopping/huffing & puffing like before!

You are such a great role model. Congratulations on the new healthy you!

Really interesting thread. Lots of great info. I'm a big believer is actually eating & working out hard to lose weight versus straight calorie restricton. Bump.

I am getting married in October 2014. Taking engagement photos fall this year though. I want to look great by then! We've got this. Good luck!

I'd like to join if possible. I love the title of this - very creative!

Congratulations! You should be super proud!

Congrats, looking good! I'm going to add you for motivation. I like people that eat in moderation and workout hard versus eating little and not working out much. Have a great Christmas!

Hi there! I have been trying to get into running 'seriously'. Slowly getting faster and enjoying it more and more. I try to run a 5K every other day. Average time is 31ish min for my 5K - I want to get under 30 in the next 6-8 weeks. One of my goals is to run a marathon before 30! Also, in 2013, I am hoping to sign up for…

You look absolutely amazing - such an inspiration for me as I'm 5'5.5"! P.S. Your daughter is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your story.

I love this thread. It's so motivating. Congrats to everyone on their transformations. One trend I noticed was weight lifting! I think I'll be adding that into my workouts ASAP!

I do, but not as much as I used to since joining MFP. I'm a pinot grigio girl.

Run as a fast as I can with very loud motivating music on.

You look wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this. Very motivating!

You're gong to get there sooner than Fall 2013! I know you will. I can't wait to congratulate you when you do!

I never work less than 50 hours a week! Usually more like 52-55 hours. I could also use some friends that have a similar work situation. My career is important to me and I am a bit of an overachiever. Random side note, is it that bad that I judge people that can't “find time” to work out, but don't work nearly as much as I…

Wow! Great job! You look great and I am sure you feel great. Thanks for posting.

I am getting married in fall 2014. but looking to get into great shape in 2013 for engagement photos. Feel free to add me.

I love this post! I've got "bigger legs" and it's not a concern for me - I just want them to look great like yours! Nice work! Nothing sexier than a strong confident woman. Thanks for the motivation.

Thanks for sharing, you look wonderful! I'm not scared of weights, but need to find the motivaton to do them more often and consistently. Your post is def helping with the motivation piece! Thanks for posting!

Congrats on your engagement! I am getting married one year after you - 10/18/2014! Good luck with your goals!

Thanks for sharing and congrats! You look great.
