It's not for me, I embrace my body and my hormones. My husband and I waited for a while but it wasn't by choice...we were stuck in other countries and I was pregnant when we got married. I think maintaining a healthy sex life is important for a relationship. For those who say they are old fashioned and born to another time…

What a huge difference 20lbs can make. great job!!!

I drink water at room temperature with banana strawberry flavored Crystal Light in it. I usually make up a 2.5L pitcher daily and drink it.

Great job!!! Love those blue shoes!

Good job! Keep up the great work!!!

There is a big difference! Keep up the good work!

I tend to weigh myself at least nice a day, sometimes multiple times a day. I have an unhealthy obsession with numbers. He made me move it because I did have the scale in front of the refrigerator so I would think twice about if I was really hungry or not. It worked for me but I understand that a lot of people see that as…

Can you tell us more about what you did!? Great job!

Confident

My husband is a bodybuilder...Nuffield said

What an amazing job! You are proof that if we stick to our plans and follow through that it will in fact happen! Thank you for your post!

Great job! Can you tell us more about what you did?

Vancouver here. Feel free to add me.

I missed a few days so I'm starting over today. :(

Well done, I've just started it and hope I get some results like you did! Was this the only exercising you did or did you do other things as well??

That is fantastic, I have just started it myself!!

I am here to tell you that it can be done, I had insulin resistant PCOS, I was diagnosed at 14 and I was told that life would give me some challenges. I never worried too much about my weight until I was 20 years old and weight 199.6lbs I couldn't believe I weighed that much!! I learned quickly that carbs were not my…

I am interested

I was diagnosed when I was 14 YO which was 15 years ago. I struggled more when I was around 20, I was on metformin and the whole bit. I lost 60lbs and it was one hell of a journey, I got healthy enough to have a baby and now my hormones have once again ruined my body. I am once again battling to get the weight off so I can…

I am 13 months post prego and it is driving me nuts that I haven't lost of the baby weight by now. I am at 178 and I need to lose at least 30lbs. I was at 206 when I had my son, I still have some major hormone issues but I am not going to use it as an excuses anymore. It is time to get committed!!

I am one year post pregnancy and struggling. As soon as I has my son my body failed me, I went into menopause at 28, my thyroid shut down and cortisol skyrocketed. I gained weight from all of the above as well as having the stress of having a sick baby, emergency c section and ruptured sutures. I wish it would have been…

I just went to WalMart today and bought the video and weights so I will be starting tomorrow...a little bit behind all of you all but I am so excited about it. I can't wait!! I'm just dreading taking before photos ewww.

I come on MFP and look at the Success Stories.

This thread makes me realize I'm a terrible cook. I usually just each baked chicken breasts and broccoli, every now and then I get crafty and make a turkey meatloaf... Someone Help me!!!

Operation Bikini Confidence #2 right here(yes...I've done this while weight loss thing before). Who would have thought that my husband would have gotten me pregnant when I was super hot in my bikinis!!

I have breast implants which makes bra shopping a pain in the *kitten*. I have only found one brand(Fredericks of Hollywood) that fits fake boobs. I don't have the "side boob so normal bras are just baggy there and my boobs tend to fall out of the top of any bra when I bend over. I live in Canada and have to have a family…

Because calories are not created equal.

I took a break for a whopping 6 days and gained a total of 14lbs!!! You would have thought I went to buffets for every meal but I didn't. I thought I was eating smart and just having a slight break....not at all, 8lbs was water weight but I still held on to 6lbs and I will never take a break again!!!

This would be what is called metabolic damage my friend. If you have a chance go on YouTube and watch a video by Layne Norton called metabolic damage. Soak it all in!!! Then watch his next video on metabolic capacity. Dr. Norton helps people with their diets for a living, you my friend are going to need some assistance…

Thank for the info, I may try to do that as well. We moved to Canada so I could reduce stress from working constantly and my husband and I switch roles, he used to be the stay at home daddy. I want to use this time wisely because I'm sure I will be back to work in a year. I used to take metformin to regulate my insulin…
