That is awesome!!' Congrats!!! I went out and bought some shorts a size smaller finally. And technically they are probably 2 sizes smaller than what my true size was because I would squeeze myself into my clothes before. It's such a great feeling, isn't it? Keep it up! :)

Thanks!

Hello there! I am 34 and a mom of 6, ages 3,7,8,8,10, and 11. I started off at 316 and I'm down to 288 right now. I still have about 120lbs or so to lose. Would love to have more friends on here! :)

Congratulations!!! That is awesome! It's going to take awhile but I can't wait to join you!

Me too! Me too! :)

I am also reading the book and have been wheat free for one week. I've lost 7 lbs since last Friday and feel so much more energy. And I swear I notice a difference in belly size. Of course, I've also taken this past week to get back on track with eating better and exercising more in general. But I still think going wheat…

Awesome! Just awesome! I'm not quite there yet but closer than I've ever been before! Keep it up! It's the things like that, control over yourself but not restricting yourself. That's success! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

33 year old SAHM here! Six kids ages 2, 6, 7, 7, 9 and 10. Would also love some supportive friends. Been slacking the last few months and need to get my butt back in gear.

Grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. Now living in Northern Kentuky.

I have 6. We are a blended family of sorts. My hubby had 3, I had 2, and we have 1 together. I officially adopted his 3 in February. It's crazy but fun. 4 girls and 2 boys. Ages 2, 6, 7, 7, 9, and 10. :) Feel free to add me!

Wow! Amazing! You look great! Great transformation! Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing your story and for showing what hard work can do! :)

That is so awesome! My daughter does Girls on the Run at school. They run twice a week and are taught healthy eating habits. In May they run a 5K and I've signed up to do it with her. I'm sure I'll be mostly walking but just completing it will be success for me! :)

Eggs = Yummy! :) I eat 2-3 every morning with breakfast and occasionally I'll even boil a few for my salad or snack. No worries.

Oh yeah, I'm in! Sign me up!

You look AMAZING! Awesome job well done! :) Keep it up! :)

Well, I'm out then. LOL! I'll just get to steppin.

Hello and welcome, Marcus! I love MFP! It's such a great place to gain support. I'm just a few months in but I'm down 13lb which feels pretty good. Good luck on your fitness journey and feel free to add me if you want! I'd be happy to offer support! :)

I started at 316, my heaviest weight ever, and I'm at 303 now. It's taking forever to get to my first goal of getting under 300 but I am so close! I am setting smaller goals to help me along the way but ultimately, I just want to be under 200, something I haven't been since middle school. I'd love to have more friends with…

I definitely gain weight during that time of the month. Usually about 3lbs during the week leading up to it. And then by the time it's over the weight gain is gone.

You look amazing! What an inspiration! Thanks so much for sharing your story! And your girls are absolutely beautiful (just like their momma). :)

4 pints = half a gallon so I think that's where your math was wrong. But no worries, happens to the best of us. :) As far as your concern about too much water intake, I've done lots of reading about this. Some I agree with and some I don't. The conclusion I've come to is that it depends on the person. I agree with the…

I am a Christian sister. Please feel free to add me. Anyone with a positive attitude can feel free to friend me as well. I am on daily, love to offer support and plan to start tomorrow with getting back on track logging food. This site really works if you work with it! :) God Bless!

Wow!!! That is awesome!!! :) Congrats! So inspiring! Makes me want to work harder! Thanks for sharing. You look great!

Well, I am definitely glad I decided to walk with (chase!) my 6 kids to the community Easter egg hunt. Only about .5 mile away but quite a bit of hills. So I did get a mile long walk with lots of incline before they brought their 'loot' home. We don't have family in the area so we no big parties/get togethers full of food.…

Such an amazing story!!! Thank you for sharing and I wish you the best of luck in your continued journey! :)

We are pretty close with stats although you are further along in your weight loss. I am... Age: 33 Height: 5'3" SW: 316 CW: 303 GW:1st 250, 2nd 200, 3rd healthy!

I'm in but I will definitely be doing the low impact version. My knees are already mad at me for the amount of squatting I've been doing. lol

I LOVE Zumba! I discovered it about 4 years ago. My trainer at the gym I used to go to introduced me to it and I loved it. Unfortunately, I was way too self conscious to go often enough or put enough effort in for it to really make a difference. Then I moved and started going to classes at the YMCA twice a week and lost…

I think your food choices look good. People also tend to lose more in the beginning. Maybe things will slow down a bit for you but honestly, I don't think they even need to. :) keep up the great work!

Actually, I think she only used it wrong once. Anyway, I'm sorry. I'm in a *****y mood today and shouldn't have taken it out on you.
