I have a 5 and a 2 year old. Two things that were important to me regarding weight loss. First find a gym with good day care. Going to the gym with screaming kids isn't ideal for anyone. Second, I treat going to the gym like my job. It's good for me to get a good work out in and good for the kids to play and get along with…

That is amazing work. Congratulations!!!

You look amazing!! Great job.

It's a small minor thing but I notice how "vain-y" the tops of my hands and bottom of my wrists are.

I am a very shy person but since starting this journey and losing 111 lbs, I hold my head high and feel like a RockStar!!!

Love reading these!

For every 10 lbs I lose, I buy music from iTunes.

Wow, you are amazing. Thank you for sharing your story. You are such an inspiration to all of us on this journey.

Wow, congratulations!! You truly are an inspiration. Thank you for posting your pictures.

I can't tell you how many times I have gained and lost over and over again. And the only way I can describe it it's like a light switch went off and I wanted nothing to do with getting healthy. So I went back to my old habits. Then for some unknown reason the light switch came back on and started over again. So I need to…

Hello everyone!! I'm back!!! I feel I can finally get back to the swing of things. Wyatt is not getting up every two hours to eat, so I'm getting more sleep. For those that don't know me, I'll do a small intro. My name is Julie. Am part of the original Skinny Chics group. My husband and I were in the process to adopt an…

I forgot how the lack of sleep effects the body. Baby Wyatt is doing great and big sister Eve, doing awesome! Hvent really been following my plan to the T but I do the best I can. Don't know what to do about working out, artic temps, snow and a 6 day old makes it hard to do. Sorry not much to say, all I think about is when…

Welcome everyone. Been a long day, will read everyone posts later. Just wanted to stop and say HI, hope everyone is doing well. So tired of shoveling snow. Plus the cold can leave too. Just ready for summer to be here. Julie

Has a nice NSV today. I wasn't able to wear my wedding ring for over a month because it was to tight and if I try to wear it, then under my ring, my finger gets red, itchy and scaley like. So I had to put it in my jewelry box. Well today thought for the heck of it, I would try it on and it fits!!! Really missed wearing it.…

misspinkshort: For me personally i think eating after 7 or 8 is worse. If I have extra calorie left over for the day, yea me!! But because you are winding down for the day and may not move as much, your not really burning extra calorie. But this is me personally because there are some people that say eat all your calorie.…

Still working off my set back from Friday. Ohh well. Hoping today while cleaning will help put it back to where I was. We are in for some icky weather, ice and snow. Don't know about going to the gym for the next few days. Otherwise not much to report. Hope everyone is doing well.

Today was a slacker day. Didn't do a darn thing. The snowy road put a stop to us going to the gym. People were calling to the radio station saying lots of cars in the ditch and accidents. So that, in my mind, is a cozy day doing nothing. Eating was fine, over all, though more then I would normally. But back at it tomorrow.…

Misspinkshort: I think having a protein bar between lunch and dinner is a great idea. Also some roasted nuts would be a good thing to have to munch on. Some times I just don't get my body. On Monday I had a great workout, felt alive and really pushed myself and burnt a good amount of calories and today did the same work…

Aug!! Stupid ticker. Was changing the pic and I saw it started to where I am or was on Friday, not from the beginning or when I re-did it in the beginning of January. Anywho....whatever. Well didn't go to the gym today. Did some errands and cleaning instead. Going tomorrow and hoping to work off what I ate today. TOM came…

Wowie!! Look at all the wonderful friends here. Will read the posts after supper but just wanted to say Welcome and please keep coming back and keep posting. Tell us whatever is on your mind, we are here to listen. Julie

Well finally everything is back to normal. Father in law is back home, after having both knees replaced. He is sore but happy to be home. Stepped on the scale today, like I do every day and down a total of 10 lbs. Yea me!!! Not bad, 10 lbs in 22 days. My friend and I are putting together our class reunion, 15 years...geez.…

Holy balls is it cold outside. Took care of the dog and my fingers are tingling. Chad (my husband) watched Eve this morning so I could go to the gym. Had a great burn today. And was very dead until 8, then the machines were filling up. Then we took a drive to see a possible cabin that is very near a lake. It was ok but…

Stephanie- You know it was a bad night and that's it just a bad night, not going to be a bad week or month. Keep making your good choices and like StephanieSt said make some Plan B meal plans or think of a back up when things get tricky. All is going real well here. Went shopping for Eve for next year clothes. Got some…

Welcome to all the newbies. The more you come back here, the more you will get out of this. And post whatever is on your mind. Well been kind of a long week. My dad had his reconstruction surgery Wednesday and my father in law had both his knees replaced on Thursday. So haven't been to the gym since Tuesday. Until today,…

Welcome Caren, at times I feel the world is against me but when I know I am doing what is right for me,I just push through the negative and it may take time but you will get there and lose the weight you want to lose. Today going decent so far. Had to go grocery shopping and so sticking cold out didn't want to do it. Then…

Welcome to all the new people. Keep coming back here and posting, the more you come back the more you get of this. Ashlee: Welcome to MFP. Glad to hear you got your head in the game, and your right better do this then later because its so much harder the older you get. Anita: Welcome to MFP. Sorry to hear you are going…
