4/21 158 4/28 159.5 5/5 157 5/12 159.0 Two steps forward, two steps back ... oh well. it's a new week!

Hi! I am a 44 year old single mom ... I totally understand about having a hard time getting things done ... I'm continually coming to the realization that I just can't do it all!! But I want to be around to see my kids get old too :smile: It's not that I have a lot of weight to lose (I woudl like to lose 20 lbs but I'll…

Oh mygosh, and now week 3 is almost over already!!! 4/21 158 4/28 159.5 5/5 157 my body loves these numbers ..... i can't seem to get away from them LOL

4/21 158 4/28 159.5 I'm right there with you Shanz! Today begins a new week, time to get serious (again ...) !!

I have you beat, Jen, I AM 44, almost 45 :) My name is Mary and I joined MFP sometime last year ... and since then I gained 10 lbs ... EEEK ... I really would like to weight about 20 lbs less than I do now, but I also realize that I probably wasn't very fit and toned before when i weighed that ... so I doubt I will get…

chrisssiex23x , I'm glad you asked because I didn't know, either! I don't have one yet today ... but there is still time .....

I've been doing a bunch of fitness blender workouts (youtube). I like it because I feel like I get a real workout and I can do it from home ... even if I went to the gym, I don't think I would push myself as hard as I do when following the videos.

I am hoping to be down 5 lbs over 10 weeks, so that would put me at 154. Anything less would be gravy!

Can I join, too? I just finshed a 10 week program here at work and I'm totally slacking without the accountability!

Hi, can I join you all? Happy April Fools Day everybody! I haven't had a chance to read everyone's story yet, but I will. I'm a single mom to twin 8 year old girls (love them, LOVE THEM!) and I'm trying to get in better shape and lose 10 - 15. I'm getting to the point where I don't really care so much what the scale…

I'm thinking about starting this soon, but I'm not sure how I'm going to work it in to what I'm already doing. I'm doing the first 8 weeks of the Fitness Blender workouts, and really want to stick with it (i'm about 1/2 way through). So, I might wait until I've made it through the full 8 weeks. Good luck!!

I added you! I log in everyday (I don't necessarily comment every day) but I'll make it a point to be more social and try to be motivational :)

I don't have any advice, just wanted to tell you I feel your pain ... I feel like over the last 6 weeks I have eaten less (not perfectly, but certainly less) and worked out MUCH more than before. The scale is down 2.5 lbs, but tomorrow they could all be back, so I feel like it's most realistically water weight. I didn't…

What a fantastic post ... thanks so much for sharing!

You can add me too! I'm finding this place keeps me very motivated, so welcome!

I'm glad to have read this thread. I'm in the same boat, this morning I was thinking that I can see how easy it would be to quit, being frustrated all the time, but reading everyone's comments makes me want to keep going. I will never look as good doing the exercises as the people on tv but as long as I'm doing them, it's…

I'm pretty new too and would like more friends to check in with. Feel free to add me too!

I will be 45 in June and am trying to lose 10. Ok I would prefer 20 but if my old clothes fit I will be satisfied with 10 :smile: I was treated for breast cancer almost 5years ago and since I feel like my body is about 10 years older hormonally so things feel a big more challenging than I think they should but…
