You look incredible. Love that dress!

Thank you I hadn't really noticed in the face but I have heard that from a few others. I just love seeing it leave the tummy area. That's my bad area.

Yes, all since January 1st, 2011. It's been one long whirlwind of losing it. Course I'm so afraid of when it stops. But I keep looking over the photos and saying I can do this. lol.

Thank you for reposting and the comments. I'll make them smaller next time.

Good luck. I must admit whenever TOM hits me I bloat so I try to keep up the same pace I was the week or two before because I know once HE leaves then it'll drop. Hope this helps.

bumping this up so someone can explain.

I'm dealing with this very thing with my husband. Of course he is still wishing I was the same person as last year that would go out to eat with him every night because he was bored. I don't want that lifestyle again and is why I changed. Now he's facing losing one of his jobs because of his weight but only seems to be…

Congratulations! You look GREAT and I know you are loving it. ;)

I am so glad someone asked this because I've been wondering myself. I thought it was just below the ribs but hubby kept insisting it was at my belly button. :)

Not sure if you are still looking for anyone but I started it today, just had breakfast and am now off to workout.

That is great. Way to go and I bet you are loving the story those clothes are telling. :) I know I will be when I reach that.

to be honest I asked because I went in for a pap and the doctor told me my cervix was blue and she has only heard of that when a woman is pregnant. Okay I have 4 kids, but I had never heard of that ever. So I asked if there were any other times. She said it is very rare but sometimes before the period it happens, but it is…

Would you make any with yogurt? Sometimes I put a little yogurt in. But below is a recipe I use as well. 2 small bananas (or one large one) 2 strawberries 1/2 cup of orange juice couple ice cubes Blend

I have found a lot of support through this site but also it helps you make sure to log in your calories/exercise routines. I also love reading the success stories, very inspiring to me.

When I first get up to begin my morning it is between 5-6 am so I grab a cup of OJ and a banana. Once the kids are gone (8:30) I will hop on the treadmill for 30 minutes. (roughly 9-9:15) Now it is time to shower and begin my day, which is when I make my own breakfast. I normally have cereal & a yogurt, or a fruit smoothie…

I have always hated water but now I am only drinking water, maybe once a week I'll have a coffee with a tad bit of cream & 1 pack of truvia (sugar). I went online and searched for ways to drink it because since age 5 I have hated koolaid, lemonaid, etc anything that you poured coloring/flavor and sugar into a pitcher of…

I log mine when I have smoothies, other than that I drink fruit smoothies and I post mine. :)

You look great! Keep up the great work. I know it can be hard with kids.

Mine jumped up this week and then back down to what it was Tuesday now it is stuck at the number. Glad someone explained it. Thank you.

<quote>"I hate having to pee all the time too, but I just try to visualize that I am peeing all the fat and toxins out!!! Then I don't mind going so much!"</quote> haha had to laugh at that but I do the same thing.

pssst that would be 4 (16oz, regular bottles) bottles of water you can get at the store. My favorite is Nestle Water. I pour 4 bottles in a pitcher first thing in the morning, a few slices of my favorite fruit/veggie and pour myself a glass all day. If you've drank it all by afternoon you are good to go. :) I like to use…

Great job!

That's great. I'm still at 30 minutes, hoping to increase that next week. Baby Steps.

You look amazing! You are doing a great job. I bet you just love the newer outfits right? That's what I can't wait for. :)

You look great. I bet you will be at your desired weight in no time. What's your magical tip for us newbies? You look so happy and energetic.

I was actually about to post this question because of similar reasons. With my first child I ended up with those stretch marks on everything but my stomach. (boobs and all) My second, third and fourth child made sure I had them everywhere else. After baby #3 & #4 I got the pouch in the tummy that wouldn't go away course…
