Same here!

I love strength training, and I'm currently doing the Strong Curves program. Zumba is my favorite cardio exercise, but I also enjoy walking, especially on nature trails.

Current Weight: 190 lbs Overall Goal: 160 lbs (tentative) August Goal: 184 lbs My challenge is to do strength training 2-3 days a week and get an average of 10K steps daily on my Fitbit.

Hi! I'm Liz from Virginia. I am married with 2 kids (9 and a toddler who will be 2 in October). I usually work as a substitute teacher, but I should be starting a job tutoring math in less than a month! I've been a stay-at-home mom since January, when I herniated a lumbar disc. Due to depression and pain (and steroid…

Could we be triplets? Other than SW, we're pretty similar! SW: 284 lbs CW: 191 lbs GW: 160 lbs Height: 5'9" Age: 31

Add me--anyone who wants to! I log daily, I'm usually on here multiple times a day, and I have an open diary. I try to connect with my friends on here, so I comment on some posts rather than just hitting the like button, and not all of my posts are directly related to fitness. :smiley:

Anyone is welcome to add me on here and on Fitbit: https://www.fitbit.com/user/2ZH6J7

I have the Fitbit One, and I love it! I hate having anything on my wrist. In my experience it's accurate, and it's discreet--I just clip it to my bra, and no one knows it's there. Remembering to charge it is no problem, since I get an email and a notification on the phone app letting me know when the battery is low.

Thank you! I hate when people say that. Also, I love this!

My husband also does not have a problem with his weight. I do all the menu planning and food shopping, so that makes things easier, but that's probably unreasonable for most couples. I buy things that are for my husband and our daughter--he usually drinks a soda with dinner, and I buy candy and cookies that they like but…

272 days!

Hi! I have 2 kids--my daughter is 8 and my son is 14 months. I've lost 87 lbs since my son was born, and I still have more to go. Feel free to add me!

I volunteer to act as a mentor. I've lost 87 lbs on MFP since October 2013, and it hasn't been easy, but I've learned a lot along the way. I recently got a Fitbit, so if you have one, you can add me on there as well. I have a more extensive bio on my profile if you want to know more about me.

I sent a request. Anyone is welcome to add me: https://www.fitbit.com/user/2ZH6J7

I'd love to join if there's still room!

Perfectionism was my downfall with every previous weight loss attempt. This time I started slowly, eating at a deficit and slowly increasing exercise. (I didn't have much of a choice, since I started right after my son was born.) The best thing I ever did was allow myself to fail without feeling like a failure. I sent a…

You can add me (this goes for everyone). I started in October 2013 when my son was born, and I've lost 87 lbs so far. I have 24 more to go until I hit my arbitrary goal--the highest weight in the "normal" weight bracket for my height. I plan to lose slowly, and I'm not sure what my final goal will be, so I'll be here for a…

I log daily--I'm on a streak well over 200 days. :smiley:

Add me--I just got the One. :smile: https://www.fitbit.com/user/2ZH6J7

I have bipolar type II, GAD and ADHD. It wasn't until I found the right combination of meds that I was able to sustain weight loss. Add me for support if you like (that goes for all of you).

What an amazing transformation! Way to go! :smiley:

I log daily, and my diary is open. Feel free to add me!

I have bipolar disorder, anxiety and ADHD. Anyone is welcome to send me a friend request.

I have 2 cups of espresso every morning with a cup of 2% milk--I actually have it set up as a recipe so I don't have to log them separately. I don't put any sugar or sweetener in it because I prefer it that way.

I started at close to 300 lbs. At first, I did walking videos (Leslie Sansone) and used my recumbent bike. I gradually increased resistance on the bike, and I added in weight training and outdoor walks. Best of luck!

I've lost an inch from my original adult height--I have degenerative disc disease, so I've lost some of the fluid from the discs, and my vertebrae are now closer together. It's actually really common in adults--even in your 20s or 30s (I was diagnosed at 30). Posture could also be an issue. Agreed--those scales are…
