Thanks, It has taken awhile, but in Jan i joined a local gym`s biggest loser challenge and have lost 16 lbs since Jan 22nd, and counting.

Thanks, I would say that was last June, just before my daughter turned two. The jeans I was wearing in that photo wont even stay on me anymore :) Sure, how do I share my food diary..

I would suggest, no crazy stretching that you have never done the race, drink lots of water this week, not to water much before the race, and take two days off running the days before, maybe replace a run with a walk! Good Luck. Don't change too much with your routine!

Thats pretty cool. I love the fitness pal app, and that sounds like a great one!

I think it depends on what your goals are. I am trying to lose weight and had always eaten my exercise calories and lost between 0.5 - 1lb a week (on a good week) until I started working out with a trainer. He suggested to go a week not eating my exercise calories and see what happens, I lost 3 ponds that week. So until I…

I also agree that snacks are good, you have to snack on healthy snacks , three small snacks a day. That way you wont be sooo hungry by the time meal time comes around. Try it it works!

Thanks for the support, yah I think it is important to look after yourself, especially before planning to get prego again. This web site will help you tonnes!! I told everyone about it at the start of the comp. today and showed them how it works as an ap. on the iphone, it is awesome.

Wow that is awesome- I am very close to that under 200lb mark as well. I have been sitting at 203 for a week now, and am hoping that the spin class I did tonight will gat me a little closer. My husband is treating me to a lululemon shopping trip once I am under 200- YAY!!!

I havent had one, but imagine I will need one also after I am finished losing weight!

I misread also, I thought it said mother of 16 for a second there

After losing 25 lbs before June, I some how convinced myself that I didnt need to keep track on things on here. Boy was I mistaken. I havent gained any weight (which is great news), but I havent lost any more since (which isnt great news). So its almost October now, I cant believe it, but I am back on the game plan- for…

I did!! this is what started me on my weight lose journey, trainign for a triathalon. And today was the day and I did it!! 500m swim, 16km bike, 3km run, all in just under 1hr 30min. YAYAYAYA!!!! I felt great after too, not nearly as tired as I thought I was going to be:blushing:

I have been in training for a sprint triathalon for a couple months now, and I did my first brick today. Its when you do two back to back exercises. So I did 25 min of cycling (pulling my daughter in the chariot) and then 25 min of running (puching my daughter this time). The cycling was good, but I was tired when I…

So I flew home to go visit my family after not seeing them for nearly six months, and not a single person mentioned the fact that I have lost weight. I have probably lost nearly 25 lbs since I was home last, and was using the trip as motivation to surprise everyone with my weight lose, and NO ONE said a thing:mad: :mad: It…

That happened to me today to, I ran for 46 minutes straight, I have NEVER ran for that long before in my life. Soo proud!!

I just wanted to let you know, that I also take my daughter to the pool regularly for hours on end, and I really dont count that time as any extra calories burned. If I did- I wouldn't do any more then 20 minutes of leisure swimming. The reason I am saying that, and I am not sure if you are a swimmer but it is HARD. I am…

I finally can get my butt back into GAP blue jeans, it's been awhile- since before I was prego. Just thought I would toot my horn:love:

how do you get to the chat room??

I was wondering if anyone knew where those cartoon like before and after pictures that are on a lot of peoples profiles are coming from?? I am curious, and would like to try it!!

I am wondering the same thing, Yoga really does kick your butt for the first little while, I assume it might get a little easier as you progress. I remember that my feet physically hurt the from spreading toes, pushing and stretching them the day after my first class- it was a wierd feeling.

Canmore- 20 min from Banff, Alberta

I started weighing in weekly- but i wouldnt reccommend it, I am going to weigh myself every two weeks now, and take measurments every month. I never even thought of taking starting measurments, I am going to take them tomorrow and start keeping track that way. I was very encouraged the first time i weighed myself- lost…

I am going through the same thing right now, i am in :heart: love :heart: with running. I have also signed up for a running race at the end of April, and I cant wait for it- seems soo wierd. I remember watching a running race last year with my ultra fit husband, and saying to him- who would ever want to do this??? And this…

Is anyone else having a problem connecting to gmail?? I havent been able to get my email account to open for two days now, all my other web pages are working, but not that one. Its soo annoying!

I am getting discouraged, I have more energy, I am happier and generally a nicer person. I have seen some encouraging results within my exercise. When I started three weeks ago- I couldn't even run 1 km non stop, and yesterday I ran 5 km in 30 min. while pushing my daughter in the chariot (and we live in the mountains- so…

I am here for exactly the same reason, looking to lose a bunch of weight after having my daughter. I am motivated and loving this site, it helps to keep me motivated!
