Omg...is everyone here looking in MY mirror? I lost 50+ lbs with MFP a few years ago and crept back up ~15 lbs...then I quit smoking (for real) back in May (WOOOOOOO!!!!!!) annnnnd here's the other 45+ lbs. Ugh. Also....my 30th is next month and I vowed I would be sub-200 by Feb 17, 2018! (I can do it I can do it I can do…

I haven't "committed" for a couple days. I am committing today to do Day 7 of 30DS and my Women's Health workout. I will also do a lot of laundry and packing as I'm leaving my hubby with our four kids for the weekend... :-S HE'LL have a full workout every day running after them! :-)

I weighed myself this morning (4/29/13) and I was 175.2! Didn't measure as it was a little hectic. Might do that tomorrow but I'm 3.3 pounds down! Woot!

Plan to drink water water water! And stick within my calories. To make 20 pounds by the end of June, I'm gonna have to push myself really hard EVERY week! I plan to do day 6 of 30DS (1/5 of the way there!!!) and housework! I'll try to walk at least a mile as well.

My commitment was to continue 30DS and I completed day 5! Yay. I stayed under my calorie goal and overall think I did pretty well. I didn't get to weigh this morning because we were at the sand dunes. I'll weigh tomorrow and I expect a little loss - maybe a pound or so. My exercise went well this week but my food choices…

I feel like I'm back on track after slacking for two weeks! So yay! I'm excited for weigh-in - it better reflect how hard I've worked this week! Lol

We're camping but there are PLENTY of trails to hike and the kids brought their bikes so that'll keep my pace (and heart rate) up for a nice calorie burn. I plan to stay under my calories or burn off what I go over. I MIGHT do Day 4 of 30DS, I have the list of activities...not sure yet. Have a WONDERFUL Saturday everyone!

I did it! We are headed out to go camping so I'm not sure what my service will be. I will try to weigh in if possible Sunday.

Today I'll do day 3 of 30DS (I know it SHOULD be day 4 but I played volleyball hardcore last night and was sooo tired I didn't do it) and lots of laundry (carrying baskets up and down and up and down the stairs). Good luck everyone! Don't forget- weigh in is Sunday: keep up the hard work! (So many exclamation points! lol)

So I was off work today, but forgot to post goals...anyway I did a Women's Health workout and played volleyball (with no subs) for an hour. I'm not really sure if I'm going to do 30DS tonight or not...I'm pretty tired already (not to mention sore and way below my calories anyway). I'll let you know tomorrow if I did it or…

Complete! I walked a mile and a half, did Day 2 of 30DS AND a Women's Health workout. Ohhh yeah!

Generally, I "workout" at night. I take the kids for walks after I get home from work (around 5:30) so I have at least a little calorie burn before cooking supper. Then I do my exercise routine or a video after everyone's tucked in. It makes me sleep much better if I'm exhausted. It also takes away MOST of the urge to raid…

My commitment today is to do my second day of 30DS and take the kids to the park. It's supposed to get warmer so...I hope "supposed to" turns into "does" and we can get outside again! If not, I'll do one of my Shape or Women's Health workouts. I am ALREADY feeling slimmer and stronger. Let's keep this up!

I did it! My first challenge: COMPLETE! Even after a yucky day at work, grumpy kids, grunting Mr. TDABMama... I still did it because I wanted to tell all you guys I did it. I am honestly pretty proud of myself!

I did meet my "commitment" today of starting up 30DS! Now onto my "challenge" portion before 4/23 becomes 4/24!!

Well...I posted on commitment today about starting 30 Day Shred...hmm. I will also do Fit to Strip with Carmen Electra. That'll be a nice calorie burn and I can do it INSIDE cus the weather is blech today. I think that'll work. :-) kinda dreading tomorrow and soreness a little... :-S

I stayed well within my calories yesterday but didn't take a walk with kiddos as the wind was blowing about 900 mph here. Sooo goal for today is to begin 30 Day Shred...been putting it off but I've GOT to move around so I can firm up the jiggle and make my kiddos happy!

I wish this was like Facebook, where I could just lazily "like" all these! Now I have to write my own post - haha! I LOVE the "sweat is your fat crying"! I like the idea of my stupid stubborn blubber "blubbering" because I'm trying to BURN it ALL off! Keep this up!

I want to take a good brisk walk with the kids (finally nice again today - southwest Kansas is bipolar when switching seasons) and start 30 Day Shred again...or just do a workout with Jillian Michaels. :-) They'll be psyched; I just don't know how psyched Mom will be by the end of THIS particularly difficult Monday. Good…

Forgot to post anything...we went camping but my goal was to go on a little nature hike with my kiddos and it turned into quite a trek! Had to carry the 30 pound 2 year old for quite a while - got a good little but of exercise doing that!

We went camping and I FORGOT today was weigh in! Argh. Here are stats from this past Thursday. Height: 5'8" Weight: 178.7 Bust: 41 Waist: 34 Hips: 40 Thigh: 24 Calf: 16 Wrist: 7 Body fat % : 20.7 BMI: 27.2 (overweight but closer to normal than I was 2 months ago!) Gotta get back on the wagon and PRONTO! Hopefully this'll…

Definitely diet junkie...but I'm getting to like working out so maybe eventually I'll be a fitness junkie! I'm seeing "cuts" where there used to be rolls. Woohoo!!!

Awesome! I was marveling about this myself not too long ago! The littlest things keep me motivated! Keep up the great job!

I buttoned my "dream jeans" today!!! No WAY am I wearing them anywhere yet but HOLY cow! They're the ones I stored in the top of my closet because I would never see that size again. I am sooo ridiculously proud of myself!

I have been dieting/exercising the past two months but kinda fell off the wagon the past 2 weeks (skipping workouts, not making the best food choices). I'm back to my pre-splurging week weight and yesterday did a 30 minute interval workout AND played volleyball for about an hour! Yay! My challenge was to simply get back…

Hey all! Extreme southwest Kansas here - Hugoton, Ks.! What? No one knows where that is?! Ugh. :-) I'm excited!!!

Hope this worked - had to go read a tutorial on how to post pics in the forum. Now - before you look, I am trusting everyone not to laugh or be negative. In fact, I might just not look back at this post to avoid any of that...nah - too curious! I am PROUD of myself. Changing my life was the right decision. February 21,…

That's exactly what I do and frankly, almost always, the TIME it takes to log it and evaluate whether it's a good choice or I can "afford" it sways my decision toward, "I think I'll feel better if I don't." Excellent tip!

I've only been at this for a week and am finding it a little difficult to get in my 1220 calorie goal. I eat back calories from exercise. My BMI is around 26 so I AM overweight. Getting enough calories never USED to be a problem (obviously) when I ate mindlessly, but now I strive to make eating its own event instead of…
