Hey! Congrats on the engagement! I have about 45 lbs to lose still. I am currently doing Jillian Michael's 30DS (on level 2 right now), and plan to do the T25 next. So keep at it and let me know how great it works for you so I am even more motivated to start it soon! Feel free to add me.

This is my 3rd time back with MFP too! Third time is the charm.... this is it! We've got this! Healthy happy bodies, here we come!

Hey! I have lost about 20 lbs so far, and about 45 to go. Very impressed and happy with my 20, but the 45 seems such a long way away. Always looking for more friends to help keep me going. I have restarted recently and am motivated to keep it going. Please feel free to add me! :)

I have had 2 c-sections (2008 and 2010). I have always been overweight, and my stomach was never anything to brag about. But that overhang is so pronounced now! Currently doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred... tomorrow is the last day for level 1.. Yay!! But those bicycles at the very end still kill my abs! Just have to…

Hi! I am starting back up again too... been going up and down and really ready to focus and stick with it. We all need the extra motivation!

I have never tried chia pudding - but it sounds like fun! Will have to try. I have a bag of chia seeds that so far has only been used for my country pordidge.

I am just now joining - right on time for the first check in :) SW: 205 CW: 198 (last weigh-in on 3/29) GW for April: 191 UGW: 150 I will achieve my goal weight by tracking every bite I eat, making better food choices, and getting some form of exercise in EVERY day. Even if it is just a 30 min walk with the dog. 4/5: 197…

thanks! :)

Checking in... did ok yesterday, although the sodium was way too high. Need to cut back on that! Didn't really get much exercise in, so planning to do an extra long walk today

Water is usually easy for me... but I do miss the bubbles of a soda. I have been trying this new strategy this week, and so far it is working well. I have a pitcher that is usually used for lemonaide in the summer. Fill it up with water (adding 80 oz - which is 10 glasses of water), add some sliced cucumber, lemon, lime…

Hi all, I am a work at home mom as well, and along with getting myself healthier, I want to teach my children about the importance of living a nutritionally healthy life and making exercise fun. We are trying to cut back on the processed foods (which is hard because my kids are young and picky - and they love the processed…

Count me in too! I am currently 199 and I want to be around 190 by the end of April. My birthday is the very end of April - so what a great birthday present that would be!! :) My other goal for April to get me to this new weight is that on my daily walks - 3 days a week I double the walk! First one is today!

I would love to join in too, please add me! A 20 lb mini goal is just what i need to get into the summer months! CW 199.8 GW 179 by end of May!

Thanks for posting this - I too am new to the tracking and am over on my protein almost every day. I was just doing a quick search before I posted the question myself. So over the MFP protein guide is not bad?

Hi! I'm from a small town in MI too! Please feel free to add me as well - still pretty new to MFP and looking to add friends to share stories/tips/motivation with.

HI! I too am newish to MFP and getting back on the weight loss wagon... and finally in the right mind set to stay on it! Please feel free to add me so we can help motivate each other along the way!

I am starting over again too.. been battling the same 40 lbs for the last 10 years. On again off again. Plus want to drop an extra 20 once those 40 are gone and be done with that extra baggage forever! This time I am in the right mind set to stick with it. But will always need encouragment along the way. And very happy to…

I am starting the 30 day shred on Monday... can't wait! I have very similar starting stats to yours, hopefully we will both have great end results as well. And it made me chuckle a bit to see that you plan to do the Body Revolution as a reward if you stick to the 30 day shred. I have been reading reviews over and over on…

Hi everyone! I'm a 32 year old working mom and I would really like to have some friends as well. I just started using MFP this week, and I too am still a little iffy on how it all works - finding new things every day. I am looking for some motivation to live a healthier life and lose the unwanted weight, and of course I…

Hi! Add me too! I am new to this too... joined MFP last year and never really got anything going. Trying it differently this time. Need to be more involved with people instead of doing it on my own. Need the motivation and accountability by speaking up. And definitely willing to speak up for/with others!
