I'm glad friends and family never said anything about my weight but there were several times medical professionals could've suggested losing weight as a means to improve my health. None of them did. I did not know how overweight I was. I had no idea what a healthy weight for my height was. So while I certainly knew I was…

You all can do it! I have two kiddos (almost 6yo and almost 2yo) In the years between the two I lost 80lbs which wasn't baby weight! If I include baby weight then it's more like 110lbs. I gained 50 back with my second pregnancy and all but 5 is gone again. For me the keys were consistency, portion control and no…

I didn't mind when someone asked if I had lost weight but when a particular person would mention EVERY TIME I saw her, it did get old. Like, yes, I've lost weight I look much better than before let's move on! In the article, however, the author seems to be saying she hasn't lost weight and that people make that comment as…

Well I'm no where near your size (I'm 5' 10") but I'm in a very similar situation. I lost 80 lbs before getting pregnant, I have 3 months left before baby is born and I've gained more than I was hoping already ☹ so I'll be looking to take it all of again. Feel free to friend me if you don't mind a tall girl

My due date is July 17th, feel free to add me if you'd like another friend!

Yes, amazed. Everyone I saw in my life trying to lose weight made it seem impossible and so awful. I was simply amazed at how simple (not easy!) it turned out to be.

You are awesome!! Keep up the excellent work ????

I have always been "cold natured" even 80 lbs overweight my hands and feet would be cold. People at work would call me "ice fingers" and when they were hot I'd cool them off by putting my hands on their neck. Seriously. Anyway last fall and winter after I'd lost about 70 lbs, I was completely miserable, I'd be absolutely…

I'm not pregnant now but I thought I'd offer some encouragement. I was about 80 lbs overweight when I became pregnant with my son and I gained about 30 lbs during the pregnancy. I lost all plus 10 lbs by the time he was 18 mos old without trying. Just by breastfeeding basically. I also was able to have a natural delivery…

I don't usually do it anymore, but cinnamon rolls. Strange combo, I know, but growing up the school cafeteria always served those together and it's really pretty awesome. I kind of want chili and cinnamon roll for lunch now, mmmmm ????

5'10" 161ish lbs size 10/12 (us)

Blueberries, I use old fashioned oats (accidently buying those instead of quick cook was a wonderful mistake). I put the blueberries in with oats and they turn the whole thing purple and I don't feel like any added sugar is necessary, although I have done it. Blueberries and banana is good too. I also like to put peaches…

I had my gallbladder out before I had any interest or thought of being fit or losing weight so I don't have any experience with exercise after surgery. However, for the first month or so eating was not normal. My appetite was less and it was kind of painful to eat (that only lasted a short time). I wasn't tracking my…

Milk eggs tomatoes carrots red peppers Wow, this makes me look so healthy ????

You can do it! I didn't start trying to lose weight until my son was 19 months old (I wish I'd started sooner) but I'm proof you can be healthier after baby than before ???? I've lost about 80 lbs!

I love the fact that I start out thinking "why am I doing this? It's really hard. I don't think I can do it." but then at some point I start thinking "this is hard, but look at you, you're doing it! You're awesome!!" The feeling of accomplishing a run is really just the best feeling.

I had mine resized a few months ago. I'd lost 70+ lbs by then and knew I didn't want to lose much more. I went from a sz9 to sz7.25, but I should've waited because they still feel loose. But I'm just going to leave them because getting them sized was a nightmare! Mostly because of engraving issues, but anyway I'm not going…

I reheat pancakes by putting them in a regular toaster. Works great, I don't see any reason protein pancakes would be different.

That is simply amazing!

My most recent nsv is realizing that shaving my legs is no longer a major chore. But my favorite nsv is realizing that I can wear skirts without a pair of spandex shorts underneath because my thighs no longer chafe together. Also those skirts can be short and I don't feel ashamed of how my legs look.

I say sign up for the one that looks the most interesting. Even if you can't run the whole thing yet, because there's no shame in walk breaks! But two months is plenty of time to train especially if you're really motivated for the race. And it wouldn't hurt to get an official 5k in before that, finishing it will motivate…

I like to bake too, I'd love to hear some new suggestions as well!

I started in Dec 2012, lost the first 40 in about 6 mos and it's taken a year to lose the second 40. I'm easing into maintenance right now, hopefully forever :)

I have one on my hip that hasn't changed and I've lost at least 8 inches off my hips.

Don Pablo's actually has their nutrition info listed in the menu. I wish I lived near one, it would be my go to Mexican place for that reason alone.

44C to 34D

Definitely had a style change. I feel a lot more adventurous! Today I'm wearing printed pants that are just so fun. I never would have considered them before because they draw all sorts of attention to my lower half, which I was always so embarrassed by. Now I'm more evenly proportioned so it doesn't matter. Plus I have…

I'm 5'10" 163lbs and a size 10-12! But I started at 240!! Congrats on your success :)

Never thought about yoga, I could definitely work on my flexibility but I can't take any classes right now. Strength training it is! I guess what I need to do is just get in the gym and start working on it. Figure out where I am and where I could be. Still kind of scared about injuries but I'll start easy and slow and try…

Just looked at that site and it's good but I feel very intimidated. I feel like I would need someone to watch me and coach me or I'd get injured. I want to do it but I'm so nervous! It's not like starting out when I was running. Also what would be my tangible goal? I understand getting stronger and increasing…
