34 and 70lbs - feel free to add

I would love to join!

I'm not a morning person either, but I cannot go to the gym in the mornings on weekdays, and most weekends either. My husband starts work between 2 AM and 6 AM depending on the day and my gym opens at 5:30. 3 of my 4 kids are too young to be left home on their own and the other one isn't responsible enough to watch his…

My inlaws got the kids Orange Kit Kats last Halloween but no idea where they got them. The Aldi stuff is all special buy. I also love the chipotle ranch dressing, wish I would have bought more the last time I saw it. My local Aldi had the sweet potato fries and chipotle sweet potato fries two weeks ago, it's frustrating to…

I prefer classical names and am slightly obsessed with baby naming. My all-time favorite girl name is Cecily (jerk husband would not let me use it for either of our daughters). Instead I have Elizabeth and Audrey, which are lovely too. If I had another she would be Catherine, Adeline, or Margot. Also love Hannah, Leah,…

Me! 31 with 27 to lose to hit goal #1, and another 25 after that for #2!

I was really disappointed when I saw it, considering all the attention it was getting. It's cheesy and more than a little boring. But my kids love it, and I am stuck actively stalking stores to pick up merchandise for my daughters' birthday and Christmas presents. Disney and resalers are making a ridiculous amount of cash…

Most of my kids are younger (11, 4, 3, and 1) so I go right after the littles head to bed for the evening. My big kid really does his own thing most of the time after dinner. We tend to wake up early, between 5:30 and 6, as the bus for summer school leaves our stop at 7:30 and the two youngest get dropped at daycare just…

Went a little further than planned last night: 6/12: 6 miles 6/13: 5.4 miles 11.4/86 done 74.6 to go

I'll join in! I've been doing an average of 3-5 daily so far. Goal for (the rest of) June: 86 miles 6/12: 4.5 miles 4.5/86 81.5 to go

Fantastic job and Happy Fitiversary!!

Lovely! I'm sure it was a workout putting in all the raised beds! I don't normally consider it a workout either, unless it's something major like breaking sod by hand.

It really spreads, it is all over in our woods, on the wood line, and in the front yard. But the poison ivy is still there too. I didn't grow up here but my husband tells me there used to be a farmer near town who grew it commercially and that's where all the mint came from.

I see several people grow mint - can I ask what you all do with it? Mint grows wild here, and mostly I just run it over with the lawnmower, but the kids sometimes will pick some to chew.

We put one in last weekend for the first time on our own land. We're keeping it small this year as we have 3 kiddos under 5 so we don't want to overcommit and have it get eaten up by weeds! We've got 4 3x6 plots with green beans, cherry tomatos, cucumbers, broccoli, sweet peppers, and habaneros (for the hubby). We also…

Darius Rucker's "It Won't Be Like This For Long", because I've got little kids and time is going too fast, it's heartbreaking.

I expect it depends on where you're starting from. I have lost nearly 20 and people are only beginning to notice but I've got a long way to go. I noticed it in my clothes before anyone noticed me.

Add me: 31 with 4 and 3 year old girls, and a 16 month old boy. It's hard to find the time to exercize, and my oldest is such a finnicky eater that new foods are a struggle! I could always use more Mama friends.

Great calendar! Thanks!

Agree that it's best to use a HRM, but I don't have one. I log it as 20 minutes of circuit training.

I agree. Last time I made it to Level 2 Day 4 and know I definitely will need some rest days. I am planning on 5 days on, 1 day off per level. I'm going to start 3/31 and should finish 5/4.

I would die with 10 lb weights for 30DS, but have a weak shoulder. Last time I started I did 2 lbs but I'm going to pick up some 3s this weekend.

Hello everyone! I'm Casey, and I'm a 31 year old married mom of three kids, ages 4, 3, and 15 months, and stepmom to an 11 year old. I work full time in banking operations, which unfortunately puts me at a desk 45 hours a week. I'm starting the shred again to help me reach my goal of Onederland before my cousin's mid-May…

I'm 5'6 1/2". I was between 160-170 during high school and was chunky. I'm aiming to ultimately get down to 130-140, but am going to reevaluate when I hit 160.

I get the Fruit and Yogurt Parfait, and if I have the calories I get a BBQ Ranch burger. They're 350 calories but I really like them!

Norwegian and German

Following - I'm headed on a 3 day trip next month as well! How does everyone handle cocktail receptions?

Careful with that. I ditched my birth control because it had caused weight gain (though I had a Mirena IUD and not BCP), I got a new baby out of it! In my defense, I continued to lose weight through my first two trimesters and delivered him at less than I started. But seriously, check with your Dr. Maybe try a different…

Me please!
