Welcome back. Your story sounds similar to mine. I have lost weight with this site in the past and had started back on it last year before I got pregnant. I now have a (nearly) six month old son and am ready to get back on track taking better care of myself. I still need to lose pregnancy weight plus more to get to my goal…

I would like to lose around 28.

I would like to join. My starting weight is 138.2.

Found the thread: Fit for Future Families http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/145157-fit-for-future-families-january-2011

I think there is a thread out there. Maybe try searching for TTC (trying to conceive).

I was just lamenting about how poorly I do on the weekends to a friend. At least we know we are not alone. I think part of my problem is that I don't have as much structure or routine. I'm sure part of it is that I think that I deserve a break on the weekends. It just adds up so fast!

There is usually a Fit & Fun Sized Thread for each month on here for people around 5 foot tall trying to lose weight. I haven't seen the January 2010 thread started yet. Below is the link to the December thread. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/138186-fit-fun-sized-group-december-10?hl=fun+fit+sized+january

Very intrigued. I am considering joining, but my follow through has not been the best lately. I may have to give it a try, though.

Give it several times and you will get the hang of it. As other posters wrote, just keep moving and don't worry about how you look or whether you are doing it "right". It's a lot of fun and a really great workout.

I was just contemplating the same thing as I submitted my "progress" to the New Year Challenge group. I have just been fluctuating the last few months. Today was another "This time I'm really going to get back on the band wagon..." day.

I have continued to be consistently inconsistent. I have been exercising more. I ate very poorly much of last week, so I am just glad that I didn't gain. I look at my numbers and see that I really need to focus on doing this. Weigh in weeks: Sept 6: 138.2 Sept 13: 141.4 Sept 20: 140.0 Sept 27: 137.2 Oct 4: Vacation Oct 11:…

No, you are not the only one. Some days are easier than others...

I have been making slow progress, but at least it's progress. I have been out of town a couple of times recently and did not gain weight, which is a huge accomplishment for me.

I did not gain weight when I was away at a work conference!! Weigh in weeks: Sept 6: 138.2 Sept 13: 141.4 Sept 20: 140.0 Sept 27: 137.2 Oct 4: Vacation Oct 11: 135.6 Oct 18: 137.6 Oct 25: 136.6 Nov 1: 137.2 Nov 8: 136.0 Nov 15: Nov 22: Nov 29: Dec 6: Dec 13: Dec 20: Dec 27: Jan 3: Goal- 120.0

How about renting fitness DVDs from the library? Often you can keep them for a few weeks. It gives you variety and you can preview them for ones you might want to buy. Some people have also posted that there are some free fitness videos you can view on the internet. I don't know what sites they are, but maybe you could do…

There are a lot of temptations at my work as well. Some people like to cook or bake and would rather share than have it at home and eat it all themselves. Last year before my wedding I might have mentioned that I was watching what I ate, but usually (like now) I don't. There was one person who would comment on what I was…

I didn't have much of a net loss for October, but I think the scale is starting to move in the right direction. I have been consistently inconsistent so the scale has been fluctuating lately. However, I didn't gain when I was on vacation. Also I got a gym membership and my Saturday Zumba classes are starting back up. We…

I am a big fan of daily sunscreen and Burt's Bees as well. I add a drop or two of Sweet Almond Oil (found at health food stores) to my moisturizer. It absorbs well and gives my skin an added boost of moisture.

A little loss. I have been consistently inconsistent. Weigh in weeks: Sept 6: 138.2 Sept 13: 141.4 Sept 20: 140.0 Sept 27: 137.2 Oct 4: Vacation Oct 11: 135.6 Oct 18: 137.6 Oct 25: 136.6 Nov 1: Nov 8: Nov 15: Nov 22: Nov 29: Dec 6: Dec 13: Dec 20: Dec 27: Jan 3: Goal- 120.0

I started back exercising, but I wasn't keeping my eating in check. Weigh in weeks: Sept 6: 138.2 Sept 13: 141.4 Sept 20: 140.0 Sept 27: 137.2 Oct 4: Vacation Oct 11: 135.6 Oct 18: 137.6 Oct 25: Nov 1: Nov 8: Nov 15: Nov 22: Nov 29: Dec 6: Dec 13: Dec 20: Dec 27: Jan 3: Goal- 120.0

I like their soups in a carton and they are a really good price there compared to a lot of other places. They have some low sodium ones.

Welcome back!

I'm excited that my new gym has Zumba twice a week and I like the teacher. Also, my favorite Zumba teacher just started her Saturday classes again, so I plan to "treat" myself to some of her classes.

It's frustrating when that happens, but you are not alone. I lost weight that I had been carrying for my wedding earlier this year, and then life happened and I gained most of it back. Good luck!

Thanks. My sweet tooth often needs satisfying.
