I turn 40 in August as well! I have about 15 pounds left to go to hit my goal, but anyone can feel free to add me.

I usually cook a special meal for us.

I second astrose00! Find your local bike shop and take your time getting properly fitted for a bike. I have enjoyed my TREK 7.2 for a few years.

Smoke and heavy perfumes/body sprays really make it hard for me to breathe. I have gotten off a treadmill and moved to another one to keep from getting sick to my stomach.

I turn 40 in August. I have lost 100 pounds and I am determined to get the last few off before my birthday. Feel free to add me!

My weight goes up for that week, 1-5 pounds and then I immediately drop that plus what I would have lost for the week. I skip the weigh in that week because I know it is going to be off. It seems to be different for every woman.

Congrats! It felt so good to complete the c25k program. I am running my second 5k next weekend.

I thought I was going to die but I completed the C25k program and ran my first 5k last July. I am running my second at Thanksgiving. I started the program at week 5 to prep for the Turkey trot and I am happy to say that the program is easier since I am in better shape. You got this!

39, SAHM to a 3 year old little girl. I am determined to hit my goal weight before I turn 40! Anyone can add me.

Congrats!

Way to go! You look wonderful.

I change up my exercise routine when my weight hits a plateau. I also found that I lose weight quicker when I do more cardio than weights. You are exercising and eating at a deficit. Could something else be going on?

Get a second opinion. Find someone who understands PCOS and Endrometriosis. There are things you can do to help and the doctor treating you should have an appropriate level of knowledge to aid you in making good decisions about your health. Personally, I would not go back into an office of a doctor that tells me to carry…

I think the best thing you can do for kids is to get them moving! Enroll them in a group sport or take a class through your local rec center. My daughter takes a tumbling class and she loves to play in the backyard. My daughter eats the way my husband and I eat; lots of veggies, lean proteins, and the occasional treat. We…

You can do this! I started this process two years ago and I am so happy with the progress I have made. It starts with a decision to do something and making small changes that lead to big results! Good luck and feel free to add me as a friend!

My husband and I work out together so that we get more together time. We cycle as a family and go to the gym. Our gym has a daycare. I am a stay at home mom to our 3 year old and we selected our gym based on the daycare. I can leave my daughter at the daycare and focus on my workouts. I think someone stated your wife is…

My mom has Parkinson's disease and I have a toddler. There are times when life is crazy. Don't beat yourself up for not doing everything perfect. I find that focusing on getting in my exercise does two things. I burn calories and I have some time to think things through and to make a plan in my head for the day. I keep…

I was doing great last year. I had lost 85 pounds and life bit me in the butt. I gained 15 pounds over the winter. The good news is that I had made exercise a new habit, so even though I wasn't eating well, I didn't stop working out during this time. I consider that a huge win! I recommitted in May and I lost the 15 I had…

I turned 39 last month and I am determined that I will hit my goal before I turn 40! I am sending you a friend request.

You can do this! Logging my food and exercising has changed my life. Feel free to add me as a friend!

Great job!

I like Fitness Blender workouts on YouTube and Jillian Michael's 30 day shred.

I typically do 2 to 3 spin classes a week. The bikes we use do not track wattage. I use a heart rate monitor to track how hard I am working during my classes. My heart rate tells me if I need to increase my resistance. If your bikes give you feedback such as wattage, then try to set a goal to increase your wattage with…

I have been focusing on losing my last 40 while building strength and muscle. I started working with a trainer and hitting the weights. I have noticed a huge difference after just a few months. You can do this! Stay focused on your goals and ignore anyone who gets in the way.

Awesome job!
