Winnipeg, MB here

I saw someone mention this the other day. Interesting idea! :)

With the windchill it's -25 today. Some areas expected to get 35cm of snow. I'm done with this.

92lbs between the two

I sent you a friend request! :)

Used the 3 day potty training method for both kids (girl aged 2 and boy aged 2.5). Inbox me with your e-mail and I can send you the pdf.

Exactly this. I just went for it. I was 5'7 and 285lbs when I joined. I've lost almost 60lbs joing that gym. I jump, I run, I do weights and everything jiggles. I'm there to do this for me not to be concerned with anyone elses business. If I notice anyone looking my way I just smile and continue on.

Shoes come off unless I'm sneaking back into the house to quickly grab something.

You are welcome to add me. I’m a mother to 2 wonderful children, a wife and work full time. I’d like to lose a total of 145lbs to reach my ultimate goal weight but I’ll be just as happy to get under 200lbs --- getting there! I could always use additional friends for encouragement.

30 Female 5'7 SW: 325lbs CW: 228lbs GW: 200lbs UGW: 180lbs I'm married. Mother to two children. Work full time. Go to the gym 4/5 days a week for cardio and do strength training at home 3/4 times a week in the evenings and weekends. Working on nutrition right now and switching up my evening workouts to morning workouts...…

You can do it if you focus and stay committed. If you want to lose the weight bad enough you have to make it happen. I too started making small changes - cut out fast food, stop drinking pop and juice, started making healthier food choices and watching my portion sizes. I started exercising at home on the treadmill then I…

Over in Winnipeg, MB here!

Depends. I attended a free drop in bootcamp at the very beginning of this journey. It was hard. I felt like I was going to die. I gave it my all and got through the full session. I could hardly walk out of there. Got home, puked, showered and went into work. I was sore for over a week after this. Five months after that…

Just work on your endurance. The speed will follow.

If you get really bored doing strictly cardio by walking, elliptical etc. why not try watching a show while you are moving? It may keep your mind focused enough to get in a 30min program. As someone suggested hiring a personal trainer to give you an introduction on the equipment would be a great idea. Does your gym have…

I was embarrassed walking on my street and the thought of stepping foot in a gym was pretty overwhelming. I finally told myself to suck it up and I walked into a gym. If I surrounded myself with people who were focusing on being healthy then they likely wouldn’t be so quick to judge - my thinking anyways. We all have to…

I'm almost at 100lbs lost. It's been quite a battle but rewarding at the same time. My ultimate goal is to lose 125lbs and anything beyond that would be amazing. Welcome to add me.

There are 3 levels. You should be able to find the other 2 levels on youtube as well. Each level is 10 days.

Just focus on eating healthy and keep active as long as you feel comfortable enough to do so. You shouldn't be trying to lose weight while pregnant unless you have a medical condition and have spoken to your doctor regarding this.

This. When my little guy was younger I'd plan my workout around his lunch/snack time. He'd be in his highchair eating/snacking and I'd be doing my workout while he watches me. I may have to cut the workout short sometimes but meh that's just the way it is. Now that he's almost 3 that is a total different story..... LOL

Both. It's more about their smile and attitude vs. their body type.

I normally wash my hair after every workout. I have really curly hair and it just frizzs and looks horrible if it isn't controlled - I thought a workout last week didn't warrent a full wash so I left it.. ya... I wasn't looking so good at the end of the day. Ha! I've never tried dry shampoo - maybe something to look into.

I hear ya. I watch my tv shows while I'm on the treadmill using my ipod. However If I'm going for a run I put on my music instead - can't focus otherwise. lol

With a head cold I always work out. It really does help! If it's a stomach bug I do not workout.

Yes. Started at 325lbs and I'm at 233lbs. I've been at this for 13months. Still a ways to go but I'm loving the progress I've made. To think how I'll feel months from now... :)

Ugh. I try not to think about this too often. I was sitting in a hospital emerg waiting for a friend of mine. A girl comes and sits besides me and starts small talk about the weather and why i'm here etc. She then askes me if I know what her favorite dinosaur is --- aparently it's a "lick-a-lota-pus". Yeah. I had to excuse…

The gym I go to is between two doggie spas. LOL The other buildings in the strip include a chiropractor, pizza place and a hair salon.

Lets see If I can figure how to post a picture.... 92lbs difference in these two pictures.

I have my chiropractor and massage therapist on speed dial.

Amazing job! Congrats!
