Hello everyone, I'm 5'4 and currently 170. I started at 180 and was doing very well, but October was a write off for a number of reasons. Luckily I didn't gain anything, but I failed to drop anything either. Now I'm back and ready to keep working. I have a mini goal of being below 165 by Christmas. Ultimately I want to be…

Hi everyone, This is a great post. In the past I've had a 'go big or go home' mentality to weight loss. It worked well in the beginning, but the weight never stayed off. It was too big a lifestyle change too quickly. The weight always came back with a few extra pounds for company. This time I'm focused on small changes…

I am IN! I've gained almost 30 lbs since moving to a new city for a new job 6 years ago. 5 lbs gained per year?!?! Time to make some new habits. I've lost 7 lbs so far this month which I'm happy about. If I could lose another 15+ by the holidays I would be ecstatic. Let's do this!

As someone who has suffered depression and comes from a family where mental health has been an issue I highly recommend seeing a Dr. Having a safe place to heal is so important.

Bumping to keep

Thank you! I was way over yesterday, this is just what I needed to make sure I kick *kitten* today!

Supportive underwear! The difference appropriate undergarments can make to your figure is shocking. I highly suggest going to a boutique lingerie store. They will have everything you need. (stay away from Vic's Secret and the like. They are great for everyday pretty things, but the twiggy 16 year-old sales girl will not be…

I'm currently a 12-14, goal is to be solidly in a 6.

Congratulations on all your success and thank you for being so brave and sharing your story with us. I'm sending you all the love and support in the world. Keep going!

Feel free to add me if you want some extra dance support, I'm all about spreading the salsa-love. Just a heads-up, I've been called a salsa-pusher.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO OVERWEIGHT TO DANCE!!!! Trust me, I'm a salsa instructor and dance fanatic! I've met dancers from literally all over the world, with ever body type and ranging from 7 to 85 years old. The people who make the best dancers and have people lining up to dance with them are the ones who are willing…

Perfect!

Awesome idea! Not sure if I'll do this at work in my heels, but definitely at home!

I'm 29 and determined to drop at least 30lbs before I turn 30. Let's kick some butt!

I have the same story. I'm 29 now and I'm determined to drop at least 30lbs before my 30th.

Way to set an awesome example for your son! Congrats!

Well done everyone!

Congrats! I know the feeling. I recently decided to go outside my comfort zone and try skinny jeans. Not only did I find a pair I loved, but they are WHITE!!! White skinny jeans on my bottom heavy frame?!?! I felt amazing! See ya comfort zone, we're through!
