Congrats on your success!

Great job! This makes me wish I took more pictures along the way... no time like the present! I'll have to get started. Thanks for the inspiration! :drinker:

intermural Volleyball league

The Birdcage Mrs Doubtfire Good Morning Vietnam I've even seen him live (stand-up) there are so many great thing he's done.... what a tragedy. :sad:

Wow.... looking GREAT!!! You're an inspiration to us all. :drinker:

I hit the snooze button today too ... but that's not gonna stop me. I'm leaving work early to get some exercise in later! Woot!

"Almost" not fitting into an amusement park ride with my kids. It was a very tight fit and I got some looks from the operator of the ride... that was it.

Oh I thought of another on! Barbacoa Exactly the same as my carnitas post above except use a beef roast (instead of pork butt) and use the Archer Farms Barbacoa seasoning mix! Tastes just like Chipotle's! :laugh: easy peasy

Nice job! Glad to hear of your success. Wishing continued success to you! :drinker:

^^ Yum! I'll have to try that chicken pesto one! I love pesto! I have two to share: Carnitas - about a 3 pound pork butt - 1/2 packet of Archer Farms Carnitas seasoning mix (found at Target) - 2 or 3 bay leaves - a few drops of water cook on low for 8 - 10 hours shred with a fork when done and serve on warm tortillas and…

You look great. Thanks for sharing. :drinker:

^^ this!! I need to go shopping!

^^^ This!! I need to go shopping!!

Great picture. It's true... working out certainly puts eating certain items in perspective. I never drink soda anymore.... it's just not worth the 160 or so calories! I'm working hard to get more fruits/veggies in my diet. I still struggle with that! Have a great day!

Hi! Feel free to add me. I've got at least another 45 - 50 pounds to go! I turn 40 in a month and I'm motivated to be the best I've ever been in my 40's!! Woooo hoooo!!! :drinker:

Yep, just "no thanks, I'm good". Pretty soon it becomes awkward and they look like the weird one (if they keep pushing it....)

¡Hola! I'm Jenny and I live in Minnesota. I have a 4 yr old daughter and a 2 yr old son. I work full time and am a loving wife to my husband of almost 10 years! I'm currently on a 166 day streak on MFP and have lost 22 lbs in that time. I turn 40 this year and said enough is enough! I will not be the "FAT" mom. I will not…

Hi all! Well, I just had my *kitten* handed to me in a strength/intervals class. Damn it was hard, but felt good to get all sweaty! LOL There is something cathartic about a good sweat! Have a great day! :drinker:

Hi there! Feel free to add me. I'm about the same height and have similar weight goals. I love to give support/encouragement and would love it in return! :drinker:

Hi - I'm in your same boat! Feel free to add me too! I love to give encouragement/support and would love it in return! :drinker:

Hi everyone! I'm still sore from a class I did yesterday.. but NO PAIN NO GAIN, am I right?? I plan to do Zumba later... Happy Friday!

Please feel free to add me -- and that goes for anyone else on this thread. We're kind of in the same boat ... I've lost 22 lbs so far this year but am stuck in a big 'ol plateau. I want to keep losing! (Need to lose at least another 40 - 60 lbs). Feeling motivated for the latter half of the year now but need that extra…

I just sent you a FR. If anyone else on here wants to add me feel free... I love support and giving it!! I am down 22 lbs, but hit a big ol'plateau. Need motivation!! I log every day but something's gotta give! :noway:

I've gotta try this! Thanks!

How's it going ladies?? I too was slipping, but back on track! I did my 5K last Friday and it re-energized me! Now I'm back to training with intervals at an even faster speed. We got this!

Hi! Welcome... I hear you on the short stature. I'm about 5'3"... let's keep each other accountable!

My goals for June are: - Get at least 4 workouts in a week - restart the 30 day shred - drink more water every day! - stay within my calorie goal 5 days or more a week

this is just what I needed to see to get my *kitten* in high gear! I've been seriously on my lifestyle change since Nov/Dec 2013 too -- but I've only lost 22 lbs. Seeing what you've accomplished makes me want to do more! congrats on a job well done! wishing you continued success!

Just go at your own pace. Heck -- it's called the "30 day shred" but if it takes you 60 days or more so what? I mean this is for you and you alone.You're getting more fit and that's all that matters. I've done the comparison thing too. Like when I did the Couch to 5k program recently. After about six weeks you're suddenly…

Amazing! Great loss....I wish you continued success for the future! :drinker:
