Thank you. I should edit to say I do it for my mom, too! She would have given anything for more time with her grandbabies (5.5 mos. and 8 mos. when she passed) and I know she would want more for me!

I couldnt stand to look at pictures of myself or even in a mirror. When I delivered my 2nd child in March 2009, I weighed 235 lbs. I remember with my first child, when I hit the 200s at one of my OBGYN appts and almost cried. I am 5'10, but was always very athletic and never over 175 before I got pregnant the first time.…

Welcome! Feel free to add me, too! I love this site...tried others before but never stuck to it. I am down 51 lbs and have 9 more to go!

Ive had Slim in 6 in shrink wrap in my DVD closet for a few years! I need to get that out! You look awesome!

http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/body-fat-chart.php This website is FABULOUS & helps you find if your goals are attainable and healthy. You can calculate it based on your current Body Fat Percentage (also has a link at the bottom of the page to help you figure out that number). I found my goal was totally…

I was down about 20 lbs to get from a size 16-14, another 15 lbs to get to a 12, another 8 lbs to get to a 10, and just now another 6-7 lbs to be in a size 8. Im 5'10 and have a large frame. It took FOREVER to see a real change in sizes, but as a previous poster said, the closer I get to my goal the faster my sizes change.…

Either this one with my 4 year old daughter last month: or these of me running in and finishing the Warrior Dash on August 13---something Ive watched my husband do in the past, but not something I ever thought I would accomplish! **I cropped AND resized these, but for some reason photobucket hates me so my apologies if…

Thats awesome! I am by no means a "runner". I just started doing the treadmill and I do the same thing. I think 5.5 is incredible, but nothing beats the feeling of pushing yourself beyond what you "think" you can do. A song is the best motivator, in my opinion. And I love that "runners high" when your endorphins kick in…

Sorry---I did go on and on and on and on..... -my main problem is that I have a very hard time eating back my exercise calories (not arguing about whether I should-I COMPLETELY agree with the theory that I should feed my body to maintain my exercise obsession) but I cant give up my exercise classes. I am addicted and even…

I dont YET, but September 12th, my gym is starting to offer it and I. CANNOT. WAIT!!!!!

I agree...and have the same issues(5'10" and size 8-10) and I love Kohls and Old Navy. Penneys isnt bad either.

Thanks for posting this! Ive always been aiming for 170 (I am 5'10" and 181 now--26.5% body fat) and people are always giving me such a hard time about it--both ways-- "youre fine where you are now--you dont have more to lose" or "really, 10 lbs, thats all--youre gonna quit?" and now I can tell them all to bite me! I…

bumping for tomorrows dinner!

I am with you...usually anwhere from 6-8 lbs and as soon as its over (about 5 days) its gone... And even tho I know this will happen...I still get pissy when it does. :sad:
-
I tried a new pic hosting site so Im not sure whats going on with the pictures, but at least you can see them....
-
Just move into exercise slowly. I was the same way--hated it...now (and its still hard to believe it even as I type it)...I cant get enough of it. You can limit your calories and eat great, but without at least a little exercise, you arent going to get far.
-
If you read my last post just a few above yours, you would see that I didnt say anything to her....and that she wasnt trying to lose weight, she was just showing me her size was smaller than mine. the "jerkiness" was just something I thought and shared.
-
:0) Another clarification...I never said anything to her about it....only to ask to see the magnificent 6s when I was at her house and she said she didnt buy them---didnt want to spend the $$, not due to the size! you guys all rock! thanks for the support!
-
The thing that I was trying to say, but some missed is that my sister in law is NOT trying to lose weight--nor has ever had to. I have lost almost 50 lbs and my whole group of family and friends know that I am working hard at changing my life to a healthier one. My SIL has always been smaller than me and now Im gaining on…

i am a SAHM to my two and four year old and am logged on everyday! Add me! Add me! :bigsmile:

You guys crack me up! Yes, I love my SIL most of the time, BUT she is highly competitive. When we bought our house, a month later, they bid on something bigger. We got pregnant, a month later she was pregnant. We got a chocolate lab, two weeks later they had a black AND white one. People who know all of us actually laugh…

I hate when that happens---the wittier and wittier part--I am so witty in my head...real life, not so much! :) As far as the honey goes, Id have opened the lid and stuck my finger in for a quick taste, licked my lips and walk away. (or maybe thats just the in-my-head-wittiness again!) ;) I know someone who is vegan and…

Congrats! I am having the same predicament with my new tattoo! Mine is the mother/daughter symbol-both for my mom that lost her battle with cancer in 2007 and for me and my 4 year old daughter as well. I do already have 2 tattoos, a tramp stamp and one on the top of my foot. I would say with 100% confidence, the foot hurt…

My husband works 17-18 hour days so I dont have the option of going when he is home...he leaves before they are up and gets home way after bedtime. And I know if I left it to working out at home, Id put it aside for the million other things I have to do in the house. Sometimes, though, when I want to eat more, I will do a…

Im disgusted. & I agree with a PP that said shes up for the Darwin awards more than Guiness. Her poor daughter. And my favorite, ironic, part of the article is that she would like her next partner to be "handsome, slim and at least 10 years younger than me," Where is the "puke face" smiley??

It was reported this morning that the porn deal was pulled off the table due to the public outrage over the verdict...too controversial even for the porn industry!!! According to the media, she owes the IRS $68,000 for not paying taxes on the $200,000 she and her lawyer were paid for an interview with ABC early on. Also,…

Thanks...and I should have added I am 5'10---starting weight 230, currently 185.8. (And I also just wanted to get my hot hubbies pic on here somewhere!) :love:

Im an A and according to the chart, I should not eat any red meat and only a few cheeses. No thank you! :noway:
