Let's do it!! I'm ready! And I'm off to an awesome start today!

Breakfast and lunch are over and I still have 723 calories left for today. (MFP suggests that I eat 1200 calories a day) I've drank 6 cups of water already. So far no exercise today, but I plan to do that when I get home. First day back in the saddle... feeling good!

I would really love to join the new gym that has opened beside where I work... but time is my enemy in order to do it... May sound like an excuse, but I honestly don't know when I would go. I get off at 5, and the daycare closes at 6. So, yea I may could go for 30 minutes after work, but I don't feel like that's enough.…

I have never really enjoyed any type of exercise. I like to dance and I think I would enjoy boxing. But there's not places like that around here. There are Zumba classes around, but that's only like once a week. I really like gymnastics, but once I again... around here all there is are classes for kids. Small towns suck…

I've been looking into this coconut oil thing myself... Mostly for my hair and skin though... never thought of it for diet. If it helps with cravings then I say its worth it right there.

Yes, be careful! it seriously snuck up on me a few months after I quit breastfeeding. I was fine for about 6 months and then BOOM it all hit at once... and I've had trouble getting control since! It's been almost 4 years since I weaned my daughter.

So here's the funny part about when I lost all of my weight and became a size 2.... I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO LOSE WEIGHT! Yea, the jokes on me apparently lol. It literally just fell off in like 4 months. 40 lbs just gone. Now I can't lose for crap. So crazy how our body changes. I even got pregnant with our daughter at…

not very noticeable***

Looks as if I have a lot of people to respond to... so, let me better explain. I was a size 14 when me and my spouse started dating. During our relationship, I have dropped down to a size 2. Well, now I am back up to a size 12. I have ALWAYS has a big butt, always been a "thick" girl. But when I lost all of the weight…

I'm in!

I haven't lost 20 lbs, but I have lost 10.... I"ll take it!! One more week till Easter... maybe IO can lose another 2 or 3

I'm in!

I am still trying to figure this out myself. I work from 7:50 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. and normally don't get home till 6. Then when home, I have to cook, feed and bathe my 3 year old, bathe myself, and then after all of that it is time to go to bed. So any advice would be greatly appreciated! I wake up around 6:30 every morning…

That is very sweet, and is how I hope we are years from now also! So far I have lost 10 lbs. Plus, I am now a little over a week with no cokes!! Only water and morning coffee!!!(this is HUGE for me!) Also I have started Couch to 5k this week, so maybe I can lose the other 10 before Easter!(I'd like to lose more than 10 lol)

Love this post!! Very helpful!

I've lost 13 total lbs since Christmas, so I'm happy.... 23 more to go

I want in! My husband will be home for good the day before Easter!

Thank you, I really appreciate the continued prayer. It says a lot about you, being that you will pray for a stranger like me. I'll be sure to return the favor and pray for you :smile:

I am very happy to report that my husband got saved last week!!! :smiley: I kept asking why all of this was happening the way it was and now I know why. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways, and I am more than thankful for all of it now. We are blessed. We still have 5 months to go before he will come home, but now my…

I'm on board!!!

Update: We have taken him to a detox center. He will be there for 5 days and they will help us find him a rehab to go to after that. Gonna be a long road, but as long as he does like he should and WANTS to get better, it will be worth it in the end :) Thanks for the prayers and keep them coming!

I'm sticking to it!

Thank yall so much. This has been real hard on me. I've got so many mixed emotions. Right now, I'm angry and hurt. So I may try to run some it out.

Thank you kay josh2422. Update: My husband was arrested last night for theft. Me and his family are trying to find him a rehab to go to. We need your prayers! My daughter loves her daddy and was there when he arrested him. She's only 3 but knew what was going on and has been talking about it constantly. She needs your…
