hey everyone! I'm due on Aug 31st with my 3rd baby :D I gained 50 pounds with my first two and got back to pre-pregnancy weight both times. I'm hoping to only gain 15-25lbs this go around. I started at 171 and I don't know if it was the holidays, or being the 3rd pregnancy but this morning I was 177! So scary! I haven't'…

I'll add that (years ago) Body for Life by Bill Phillips was a big motivator for me. I should probably dust that one off and give it another read.

fantastic! well done!

This is awesome. Thank you for your post ... truly inspiring!

I wish I had that issue! I'm the total opposite

I did it about a year ago and had great results. I think it's about time I do it again. Count me in!

so crazy that insurance companies consider the placement of your belly button after this type of surgery to be solely cosmetic. boggles the mind, lol! Congrat's on your weightloss, and it's good to hear that your recovery process went so well. That's what I would be most scared about. I've only had my appendix out and my…

I would also suggest changing up your workout routine. I need to take that advice myself! I spent the past year on the treadmill (mostly) and I'm at standstill after loosing around 50-55lbs. Due to a knee injury I recently went on the elliptical and had an amazing workout - huge burn! I was shocked as I had stopped using…

I LOVE Chinese takeaway ... and this is my favorite recipe to make at home. I think its WAY better than any Chicken and Broccoli I've got at a restaurant. Chicken and Broccoli Ingredients: 4 small/medium chicken breast Potato or corn starch 4 crowns broccoli Olive oil 2 Tbsp diced garlic 4-5 Tbsp oyster sauce Salt and…

hahaha, I'll have to try that this afternoon!

fantastic post! Thanks for sharing your experience. I come on these boards daily and look for the day's "motivation boost" ... you have given me that boost today (and for many days to come!)

Love this post! Entertaining and inspiring!

Loved reading that. Congratulations and thanks for your post!

I've got the same questions ... looks like a lot of good responses and articles listed.

I just started a lifting routing (strong lifts) and I'm running into the same thing. I'm too intimated by the big muscled guys who dominate the free weight area to say anything and I feel like a tool just standing there and waiting for my turn. I'm hoping that as my confidence in lifting builds I won't be so nervous to say…

I have seen some amazing transformations on MFP, but very rarely do they bring a tear to my eye! The way you expressed your journey was fantastic! Truly motivational. Even though I have lost 56 pounds (another 20-30 to go) I have been having such a pity party in my mind. You have an amazing attitude and I can certainly…

incredible difference! Great job! I currently weigh 168 and seeing your results are total motivation!

I had that same fear too! When I started I could not imagine any change in my arm size. Since January 2013 I have lost 54 pounds and I still don't feel that my arms have changed. It was only after I compared measurements from last year that I realized I'd lost arm mass. I don't have any pictures uploaded yet, but I have my…

great job!!!! I love a short girl success story!

incredible story! I'm about to go in to get an MRI of my back and totally scared what they may find ... but you've given me confidence that no matter what they find (which will probably be very minor!) I can overcome it and continue to work towards my goals. Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations!!

Fantastic job!!! 50lbs is incredible! I totally understand the hard work you must have put in. Great job

great story and congratulations on your accomplishments!

fantastic results! great job

OMG! Amazing!!! fabulous transformation and congratulations on baby #3. You have seriously encouraged and inspired me today.

amazing results!!! totally inspirational!

I'm so sorry for your miscarriage, I understand that is just devastating. Congratulations on your weight loss. You have made amazing progress in just 2 months!!

Hi! Feel free to add me! I'm 32 years old and I have a 23month old and 3 yr old. I've finally lost all the baby weight and now I am working to losing another 28lbs (after that its body re-composition work!). I'm not great about logging my food, but I'm on just about everyday and love to comment/encourage and I post to my…
