I am sorry both you and your child had to go through that. I am glad you were able to make something positive out of it for your daughter. I have a 5th, 2nd, K, and 2 younger children. Commenting on a person's physical appearance in any way has been discussed a lot in our home as well. Usually because they think anyone who…

Well, I'm relatively new to running, so at 6mph on the treadmill, I can go about 5 miles. When I am outside on the gravel with the hills around here, I can go about 4.

Correct! :D

fun

When I eat out, and there are no entries I do the same. I use generic or similar foods. I get thrown off track when I have to create my own recipes based on foods I make. I don't like the time it takes, so I have decided to do the same for the foods I make at home. Use an estimated amount of what I've put in of each…

I don't have cheat days. And I agree with a lot of the above posters, the term implies something bad. I know that I don't eat the best all the time, so I have to make it work into my plan. If I want to enjoy a piece of that pie I made, I make it work out, or I exercise more. I do have eaters guilt, and I also have had an…

Okay...so what I'm getting is that I need to put on my black lace teddy, find some good lighting, either in the washroom with spotty mirrors, or possibly outside, put on my best seductive look while I am flexing for the camera, angle the camera down and snap a picture of the ground, then not bother to post it because I…

Not so depressing! Some of us are usually the ones taking the pics, or we don't have shots from our friends phones/camera available. If my husband wants nude pics, he can take them himself, so I really don't need to be alone for that either :)

LMAO!!!

Stipes

Already friends :)

Sure, why not?

145

150

I am 5'5" CW 131 GW 125 I have a medium sized frame, so I actually look fine now, just some toning up after having my 5th (and last) child. If you are small framed, 115 would be just fine. I was at 120 throughout high school and until I got pregnant with my first child at the age of 21. Funny that I used to think I was…

If you need motivation and are a good motivator as well, feel free to add me :)

Hard to say. Are you physically in shape? Maybe it's more a matter of needing to tone up rather than actually losing weight? If I were 5'3" and 120 lbs, I'd be happy :) I'm 5'5" and 133, looking to get to about 125. But with all the exercise I've been doing, I actually think I look better now than when I did weigh 120 lbs.

My scale does that. I just give it time to adjust the weight as I am placing food items in the bowl or on a plate :)

You can go ahead and add me if you like :) My breaking point was after having my 5th child and weighing around 165 lbs. I'd been at 130 for a long time, though my goal weight had always been 120. I have started with MFP again recently after taking time away since most of my friends stopped logging in as well and I lost my…

You can go ahead and add me if you like! I don't have many friends that log in to keep me motivated, so I only stated using this again recently. Having friends really helps through this process :)

I haven't tried Hip Hop Abs, only Insanity and T25. I was wondering how Hip Hop Abs was, since my abs are the part I have the most trouble with. I'd be interested to know how it goes too.

I hope you find something to keep you going. I know it's not easy when the plans change, but doing something, even taking a nice walk, is better than doing nothing while the pool is being maintained. I'm glad you found the perfect fit for your workout, and keep up the good work!

31 years old and 5 kids! Ages 9, 6, 3, 2 and 4 months. Go ahead and add me if you like!

I'm on day 43 of Insanity. Kind of expensive, but I do it in my living room along with my 2 and 3 year old. I just had my last child this last December, so was not in great shape when I started the series, but am now much more toned and fit. Even lost almost all of the baby gut I had from having 5 kids (to which my PT said…

Thanks for all the helpful advice. I didn't even know that a running store would help out with all that stuff! I can also see my posture has probably been way off, since I wasn't aware you shouldn't just "go out and run" :D

It's been working. I've heard the thing about coffee grounds as well, but to be careful cause it can cause a bit of brownish discoloration on the skin :)

I'm prone to acne, and I've been using Clearasil pads to wipe down my face, neck and upper back/shoulder area when I don't have a chance to shower immediately after my workout. Otherwise just using a good soap and water is the best thing.

I'm in the recovery week of Insanity before moving on to the second month. Yes, it was very hard to start with, and I could barely make it through the warm up. I was so sore in my legs I couldn't sleep the first couple of nights. But now, I make it through the warm up no problem and can feel the difference in my body. I'm…
