I love T25!! My boyfriend is actually starting it today with my son. I'm sure I'll be doing some of the workouts with them. I'm going back to Turbo Jam though. I love me some Challene. I love to jog too! I just re-started C25K again today and holy cow my asthma went off this morning and legs are still feeling it hours…

Woot Woot! I'm in the midst of raising kids (ages 14, 11, 8, 6, and 2 and potentially another one) and am working on making sure I'm still working on me. I'll definitely shoot you a request. :)

((hugs)) make your goal to be healthy. Do you know your fat percentage? like from a calibrator, not just figuring it out from your height and weight. If you're stocky with quite a bit of muscle you won't lose weight and working as hard as you are muscle could be building up which means you won't see any changes in other…

What's done is done. You fed your soul for a while. Thank yourself for the comfort food, allow yourself to to be happy about the experience of eating it and now focus on foods that make your physical body feel better. When thinking about what you're going to eat ask yourself, "Will this food give me energy, improve my…

I have 100 lbs still left to lose! We totally got this!

I have Plantar Fasciitis in my left food, going to a running store and being fitted for proper shoes almost completely eliminated it. I waited over a year before I tried that. It's well worth the investment. I also used a frozen water bottle and heat/massage on my calf and stretched my foot by pulling my toes back almost…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you are working on forgiving yourself. Trust me, you will treat yourself (and your body) so much better once you can forgive and learn to love you. ((hugs)) I have 100 lbs to lose, if it's ok, I'll send you a friend request.

I did summer school PE before my freshman year of high school and holy wow did I look great after that! Otherwise, I've also always been overweight. Welcome to the community! Feel free to add me as a friend. I have about 100 lbs to lose, mom of 4, busy busy busy!

Make sure you're getting your proteins and fats in, it will help satiate you. If you aren't losing weight at 1200 then it's too low. Really you just have to play with it and see where you feel good and are losing weight.

You absolutely can do it! The awesome thing is you don't have to miserable while doing it. It's about making better choices but not depriving yourself. Usually if you follow the 80/20 rule you'll be ok. So 80% of the time you're eating less sugar, less meat, less diary, less processed foods. 20% of the time you're eating…

I have 4 kids and have so been there! I agree baby wearing is the way to go. Going for walks while wearing a baby (especially an older one like that) will kick up the calorie burning a notch. There are a lot of great home workout plans available too. Even on Pinterest you can find little workout challenges. Her journey may…

You only fail when you stop trying. I agree, you're not starting again, you're continuing on your path! My favorite quote is: fall down seven times, get up eight. Take smaller steps, today make a goal to drink enough water, journal everything you eat, and just make better decisions today than yesterday (perfection is…

I have a little more than you to lose but I'm right there with you! I'm doing Brazilian Butt Lift (re-starting today). I struggle with what I eat as well (also an emotional eater) so I'm trying a Candida cleanse starting today. I'm hoping that will help with cravings, sore joints, and fatigue. I'll add you as a friend. I…

Hey there! I'm a 33 single mom of 4 (plus one more because my ex step son lives with me too). I have about 90 more lbs to lose and really find the more people I have on here keeping me going, the more likely I am to keep going. :)
-
I agree with you on all that! Though, counting calories is not as important and counting quality of food. If you focus on increasing veggies, eating whole grains, limiting meat and dairy, and working on staying away from processed foods you'll be surprise how much you have to eat to get all your calories in. What are you…

Exercise is a natural way to get things moving (inside and out). It's very common for you to have to have a bowel movement on your walks. You can try to get up a little earlier and do some at home light exercise to see if you can do it before your walks. Eating and drinking will also help to stimulate it. Get up a little…

I'm 33, single mom of 4 (5 if you include my oldest ex step son who still lives with me). I work out of the home and from the home. Working to eventually be able to just work out of the house. Little steps, my goal is by the end of next school year. I used to homeschool my kiddos but after the divorce my ex wouldn't watch…

It's not just about losing weight, it's about being healthy. Keeping track of numbers can be very motivating but I suggest you keep a blog of how you are feeling. Rate your mood/emotions, energy level, motivation, bowel movements, ambition, etc every day. When you feel frustrated because the numbers have stopped go back…

Thank you guys for your support! And that's great information to know that as we lose weight it's healthy for it to come off slower.

Hey guys! I'm a single mom of 4 and I started my weight loss journey at 284 lbs and I'm down to 244 lbs in about a year. My goal is to be at 150 lbs (the high range for my height) I'm not the best at being consistent (especially during aunt flo's visits) but I keep going and working hard to live a good life for me and be a…

Anyone who's still doing their Turbo Jam, add me as a friend! I was doing Focus T25 and ended up getting plantar fasciitis. Then once I was ready to get back into my workouts I broke my big toe. :-/ I did Turbo Jam first and loved it! So I'm going to go back to that. Need a little kick in the butt to get in gear though!

You got this girl! :)

This is the place to be if you want support! The people here are amazing! Just remember to take it one step at a time and for every step backwards you take (we all have them) take two steps forward. I remember after I had my first son I saw a picture of my skinny husband sitting next to me and my tiny baby in my arms and…

Hi! I'm 5'10" and I have 105 lbs still left to lose. I'm losing it a little bit at a time in a healthy way and I'm feeling amazing! Glad to meet you! I'll shoot you a friend request. I'm 32.

Welcome back! It's great you've lost 20 lbs!

I'm in N Phx and love it here. This is the longest I've ever lived in one place since I've moved out of my parent's house 14 years ago!

Awesome Job! I'm in AZ too!

What the previous post said :) I will also say that 1200 is pretty low so definitely eat back your exercise calories. Work with it though. You will get a better feel for where you lose the most fat (not lean muscle mass). MFP just gives you guide lines, it's up to you to do what works for you. I know for me if I don't hit…

Congrats on doing so well! Are you taking in enough calories? It's important that you're feeding and fueling your body or it won't release excess fat. Like everyone else has said, make sure you're switching up your exercise and that you're letting your body recover in between workouts. I'm a certified Health Coach, if your…

You got this! Great motivation and great attitude. Work it one day (sometimes one moment) at a time. Every time you have a choice ask yourself, "Is this bringing me closer to my goals or further away?"
