Add me!! My youngest is 3.5 and I need to shed 15 pounds to get at a decent weight. I'm not even hoping for pre-pregnancy weight at this point. Just hoping not to be such a chubbo. I feel your pain!

I have one child who is very picky. She gets a serving of whatever we are having and she has a choice to eat or not to eat with a stern warning that when dinner is over, her plate is taken away and that it is a LONG way until breakfast. She usually manages to choke down a few bites of whatever it is that we are eating.…

My stomach and my arms and my wide shoulders. I don't think there is much I can do about wide square shoulders though.... I like my legs and my boobs, but NEED to get rid of my belly!!

You look amazing!! Good for you keep up the good work!

5' 6" 175lbs and I am between a 10 and a 12 depending on the brand

Red wine Coffee Seltzer water In that order. I don't drink soda at all.

Rochester New York - I love Autumn and apple season!

I would have guessed a bit over 200 - good luck on attaining those goals of marathons and mountains! Also, good for you for quitting smoking and cutting down on alcohol. Those can be difficult hurdles!! Good luck!

Wow! Really inspiring! You look amazing!

Okay - I will be the first to admit that I am dreading the holidays. There is food and booze everywhere. I can never control myself. I'll look in the mirror and be disappointed that I couldn't have done better in limiting the crap and wine intake.

Wow! Good for you - keep up the great work. You look awesome!!

I have totally been there. It really just one day at a time. Currently, I am mentally beating myself up for not working out AGAIN. But, I DID log my food today. You are definitely not alone. I have a hard time keeping motivation for working out. A friend once told me to just lace up my sneakers and the rest will follow. I…

Oh yes! I love to drink wine. I usually drink red and it is just the perfect way to wind down after a stressful day.

I am a Prosecutor - I handle mostly drug and firearm related crimes. I LOVE it and I couldn't imagine practicing any other type of law....

Oh I am the queen of excuses. Let's see... 1) I'm tired. 2) too busy 3) if only my husband would offer to watch the kids a couple nits a week so I could get to the gym - so really it's HIS fault 4) I'm really tired

Jo - my instructor says the same thing about not rushing. Trying to keep that in mind during the workouts.

I doubt you'd be able to find a free workout plan since its all trademarked and protected by patent laws etc. But am sure there are promotional videos to look at to get ideas about different ways to use it. I am convinced my shoulders and back looks better as a result of a few workouts.

Oh I know how you feel! I looked at pictures after my son was born three years ago and I'm a whale... The worst part was that after that I refused to be in pictures and there is now a gap where there are no pictures of me with my kids and that is so disappointing. Don't your body image get in the way of creating memories…

I work full time and I have three kids ages 6,4 and 3 and I have been carving time out during lunch to get to the gym. I'm not always successful and I continually struggle to keep my motivation up. My gym has child are so my Saturday am body conditioning class is sacrosanct and I plop the kids in the child watch while I…

Hi! My name is Lisa and I live in Western New York. I have three kids: two girls ages 6 and 4 and a son who will turn 3 in the spring. I have battled weight most of my life but after college took off about 40lbs and managed to keep it off for about 10 years. I gained 40lbs with my first pregnancy and only took off about…

I am a working mom of 3 and I need to lose between 15-20lbs and I have lost my way. I need motivation and way to fit in working out. For me it's the only thing that keeps the weight off.

Hi! I have three kids - 6, 4 and almost 3 years old. My weight has gone up and down since my son was born. I managed to take off 35 pounds off about 2 years ago, but 12 pounds crept back on. I'm about 15 pounds from my goal. I need motivation! I need to figure out how to find time to work out. Feel free to add me!

I am a trial attorney and I hate confrontation.

My husband is 5'7 and about 140 lbs - he is a small wiry guy. When we got married I was 143 at 5'6 and I thought we looked good together. Now that I am a fatty I am very self conscious about what other people think about our size difference. To his credit he always encouraged me to work out and do what I need to do to feel…

I'm an Assistant District Attorney where I prosecute firearms and narcotics related offenses. And I love it.

Turning 39 in a few weeks and want to look amazing in my 40s!!
