  • Hey, you sound similar to me :) my husband and I were married almost 10 years ago when I was 18. I had 4 children in 4 1/2 years. And no we're not done ;) (since when did the world start hating big families?) I eat paleo and trying to get down to 125 as well. Yay for Big happy families!
  • Mom of 4 here too (oldest is 4, no multiples). Before I became pregnant with #4, I was over 200lbs and I was always tired, grumpy, and starving on a calorie restricted diet. One of my friends starting dropping weight, looking so bright and was able to go off medications she had been in for years. She was eating Paleo. I…
  • I have been Paleo/Primal (I still eat some high quality dairy) since Febuary 2013 and I have lost 30lbs and I feel so incredible. I was very affraid at first that I wouldn't be able to fight the cravings. If you stay strong and don't give in for that first week, it will get easier and easier and you will eventually not…
  • I've been Primal for about 2 months also. I lost 3lbs my first week and nothing else since. I do feel soooo much better, no headaches, no fatigue, no belly aches, etc. Before I started Primal I was tracking on MFP and lost 20lbs so I've decided to come back, Paleo style. I just don't know where to start since I know you…
  • I just started reading "Practical Paleo" and it is a major eye opener to the crap we've all been duped into eating! I plan to change my whole family over to Primal/Paleo, including my kids! I highly recommend the book!
  • WOW!!! so inspirational, I'm going to go run right now LOL! I have 3 kids 3 and under and I needed to see this. Thank you!!!!!! You look amazing.
  • Me too. I', a tad shorter than 5'5 and after having 3 babies in 3 years, I am trying to lose all that weight! I I still have about 55lbs to go to get down to 130lbs. Add me too!
  • WOW! You are a gorgeous man! Not only on the outside, but I can tell by your writing that you are genuinely gorgeous on the inside too! Your life story is amazing and inspiring for so many! Thank you for sharing it.
  • Ok, you guys talked me into it! No more procrastinating, I'll start today!!
  • I'm thinking about it starting today too. If I can talk my husband into digging out the ol treadmill when he gets home, I think I will go ahead with day 1 and see how I do. I've been doing Turbo Jam 5-6 days a week but I would like to mix things up a bit. Plus, I've always wanted to be cool (LOL) and be a runner :)
  • I had to find a workout that I could do at home too (I have 3 kids 3 and under). I HATE working out so for me to say I LOVE my new workout it saying a lot. I bought some Turbo Jam DVDs off ebay and I totally love them and they are working great. I have lost 10lbs in 3 weeks and I still have 60 more to go. I highly…
  • I do Chalene Johnson's Turbo Jam workouts (Cardio Party 1 2 & 3, Punch Kick Jam and others) and I LOVE it. I have lost 10lbs in 3 weeks. I hope to get Turbo Fire soon too. I have heard great things.
  • I started doing Turbo Jam (the original from Chalene Johnson) about 3 weeks ago and I have lost 10lbs!!! I feel a lot stronger and more energized too. I love Chalene and how motivating but not annoying she is. I do have to say that she isn't the best when it comes to giving cues but after doing a certain workout so many…
  • I think it's a lot like Turbo Jam/Turbo Fire. I LOVE Turbo Jam! You could try a DVD at home first and move on to the class if you like it. There are classes offered at some gyms called Turbo Kick which is Turbo Jam. Good Luck!
  • I am the BIGGEST procrastinator when it comes to working out (or anything I don't want to do for that matter LOL). I am 26 and I have never been into "fitness" and that is probably why I am 60lbs overweight ;). I finally found something that is convenient (I have 3 kids under 3) and something that I actually like doing…
  • I'm in the same boat at well. All of the bridesmaids are little hotties and I was horrified when the bride had us all go try on and order dresses together, WHILE I WAS 6 MONTHS PREGNANT with#3! I went to the shower and they all wanted to know if my dress fit now and I lied and said it was too big, but the truth is that is…
  • AWSOME!!!! I know that feeling as well. I just recently broke 200 too!!! Never again will we have to say that again though ;) We can do this!!!!
  • Wow! You are HOT!!!
  • That is so awsome!!! I am a size 16 and have a goal of losing 70lbs too! It's really motivating to see that it can be done. How did you lose it?
  • Wow! My son just had his 2 month check up as well, but he is in the 90% for his weight. He was 8.1 when he was born and is now almost 14lbs. I am also exclusively breastfeeding on demand. With my first son, I didn't have as great of luck. I was exclusively breastfeeding him and I thought he was getting enough to eat…
