  • Good morning all! I'm a full time working mom of 3 (8, 7 and 4). I've always been bigger, but with each baby came more weight I haven't focused on myself in years. So here I am, the highest weight I've ever been. I've tried all the diets, and tend to gain and lose the same 3 pounds over and over. Hoping to use this…
  • Coffee is my love language so I drink plenty of that. But when I was feeling exhausted (like, to the core of my being) I went to my naturopath and got some blood work done. We found my Iron levels and B12 levels were super low...which directly relate to energy levels. So I started taking B12 and the difference was…
  • I just came back as well! In the midst of having three kiddos (6, 5, 2.5yrs) I managed to lose sight of my health. So I'm circling back hoping to loose at least 50 lbs. But starting small and trying to focus on the NSVs. I would love some friends and support. I tend to be GREAT at giving up on my health journey.
  • Hey all! I just turned 34 and have three kiddos (6, 5 and 2.5). I work full time and have always been on the heavier side. But with 3 pregnancies, full time desk job and a lack of sleep for the past 6 years, I've ballooned up by my heaviest (even when pregnant! Gah!). I tried Keto, but i can't do it while making meals for…

  • Started Keto yesterday, so hoping to keep that up (even though I'm going out of town this weekend!) Hoping to start walking at least 5 times a week, and hitting the gym for weights/classes 3x.
  • Right there with yah! I'm not in the UK, but I've lived there :) I'm sending you a friend request!
  • My first day too! Any friends, advice, fav easy/go-to snacks are welcome!

  • Hello! My husband and I are starting a keto diet on May 1st! Would love encouragement and community! Good luck everyone changing our lives for the better!
  • I'm right there with you! I've tried and failed so many times. I just want this to be the LAST and Final time. Friend me!
  • I'm in! 242 would love to be to 200 by summer!
  • I have a 5 year old, a 3.5 year old and 14 month old. I am still nursing, work a full-time desk job, and the baby has yet to sleep through the night. I'm basically getting about 4 solid hours of sleep a night. I have a gym membership, but have a hard time getting my butt out of bed in the am, and find myself falling asleep…
  • I'm breastfeeding my 3 week old and hoping to rock some weight loss for good this time around. I'm done having kiddos, I'm at 236, and am hoping to weigh at least 199 by summer.
  • Oh my gosh, I LOVED Your post. I was dying at the image of the phone flying and the air punching. I find that I tend to start shaking it while doing the walking portions...especially when Beyoncé starts telling me I "Run the world". I am on my second week starting today and everytime I finish I feel like high-fiving…
  • I hear yah! I tend to ignore the scale the entire week of PMS because I gain anywhere between 3 and 5 pounds! It sounds like you are taking the right steps, just try to keep your upbeat attitude! And remind yourself that the changes you are making to your body, are awesome changes, regardless of if you are seeing immediate…
  • Great question! I am wondering the same.
  • So I haven't done C25k since my knee started acting up, but its feeling better as of Monday, and I have physical therapy for a couple times a week. I am going to start up again soon! Good job to all you runners!!
  • My knee is still bothering me. Ive been icing and taking it easy, but will be starting physical therapy tomorrow - hoping they can give me some exercised to do to help strengthen my hip muscles. (which can cause knee problems). So we shall see! I've been depressed because of my injury, but am going to do some more swimming…
  • I was worried about the same thing...I weigh about 230. I don't push it, I go pretty slow. And yes, I am the fattest person on the Dreadmill, but rather than be bummed about it and self conscious, I'm proud of myself for doing it! My knee started bothering me so I'm taking it easy, but doing some swimming and elliptical…
  • Awesome job!!
  • I bought a brand new pair of new balance running shoes after my first day :) My knee started bugging me badly after W2 day 1, and currently, is tender to the touch and is killing me. I've been icing it and have sworn off the Dreadmill until it feels better. I've been swimming instead. If it doesn't get better in a week,…
  • I finished week one on Saturday and went a little faster! My knee is bothering me a bit so I am taking off until tomorrow and being nice to it ;)
  • Completed W1D2 last night without stopping and managed to go a little faster! Today is my rest day and I might do a little yoga tonight to stretch out my muscles. W1D3 on tomrorow!
  • yeah, I was the most jiggly person at the gym by far! All these really really little people sweating away on the elliptical, not to mention the high school volley ball girls in their tiny tiny shorts. But who cares?! I did it :smiley: And I went back last night and did day 2 and managed to go a little faster! And as a yay…
  • I started the program last night and I made it through! I was pretty proud of myself (still am). I wasn't jogging extremely fast, but my heartrate was up and I was getting a good workout. Need some better shoes....
  • Starting again with my husband joining too this time around! I also want to be a jogger, though December in the PNW is not a weather friendly time haha Feel free to friend me, as I love to encourage and need the encouragement myself!
  • I have a fitbit flex. I average between 8-10,000 steps a day. Please add me! https://www.fitbit.com/user/2HBN8M
