40 here .

hi looking to add more friends. i gained most of what i lost because i got pregnant and used it as an excuse. i am pregnant with baby 2 and making a healthy lifestyle again means the world to me for my babies and so, and of course, me.

I don't have much experience, but i am pregnant and low carbing, and my bp has come down a bit, and i did well on my glucose tolerance test, but i did a 24hour urine and the doctor noted i had higher than normal levels of protein in my urine. i assume it's from low carbing?

i recently started because i am pregnant, overweight, and need to watch carbs while pregnant.

I'm curious. How many cals a day do you eat ? I am nervous to eat low again because of bf .

Thanks all! I'll look for mommy and baby workouts too and I am Breast feeding

i think this all depends on our individual body makeup. I was 280, then lost weight down to lowest 132. I got pregnant, and now I am 181. I had loose skin and imagine I will have more when I get down to my ultimate goal. Before I was overweight, I never had great abs, so I figure I can get a tummy tuck after the baby is…

I know this feeling all too well. Sometimes it helps to take baby steps and have a starting day one where you eat what you want but make yourself have three square meals. After you can be comfortable with that, sometimes taking one piece of food away at each meal helps until you feel like you have control. It also depends…

Congratulations! this is a wonderful journey.

@sammixbear, I honestly think if you post really early or really late you will get very little replies. I have posted things during the daytime and have gotten a lot more replies. Most people on here I have added are amazing, from those who need to lose 100+ to those who need to lose that last ten pounds. I think whether…

I was the same way before too. This part can be discouraging, but sometimes little goals are really helpful. If you think, oh, I want to lose 1 pound by the end of the month, it is easier to stick to the routine than saying, oh, i need to lose 10 pounds by the end of this month. If you have an article of clothing that is a…

You are so amazing. I cried a little when I read your post. This is so inspirational. I am going to send this to my friend who thinks she cannot lose 50 pounds.

You are very welcome. I feel like some people are afraid to address it. But it happens and I have it and I accept it. If i could just learn how to post pics of my skin on this site!

You look great regardless of the skin. You have done an amazing job. I lost 140+ and have loos skin and it gave me issues, but because of your post, I am going to show my progress. I want people to see the skin actually needs to be surgically removed but life will still go on. I would rather be this size and this level of…

I am five feet tall and curvy so my goal weight is 100 or 110 lbs.

I am in too!

welcome to the I am always cold club. I lost 140 and if a breeze blows, I start to shiver. in the summer time, this summer, it was in the 70s and i had to turn the heater on.

Good luck everyone. So my update, trying to join the navy and waiting on a doc at Meps to approve me so i can get my physical. it is because i had past bp issues which i no longer have. i am trying to stay positive, but i feel :-( if they don't want me, i will never stop my working out and working out like someone who…

I have some extra skin and have been insecure about it, and a few of my "friends" have had no problems about it.

People who tell me my workout/way of eating is not the way to lose weight....um..this is after I lost 144 lbs..ok...

yes!!! I love that smell.

Congratulations. You worked so hard and look great.

I just started upping my weights so I can be a muscular chick!!! Muscular chicks rock.

I agree. Tomm. is a new day. You can eat healthy the next day and workout and just relax. I have had bad days, weeks even and when I let go and realized just start again, that is when it becomes easy to forgive yourself.

I was recently called thick. I was always just called fat, so I really did not like being called thick.

nytefall, I am so sorry about the sucky manner in which you were treated! lame. As for me, on wednesday, a navy recruiter finally called me. I decided I am switching to navy. That is what I wanted in the first place. I have no idea why i even went to the army recruiter. my dad is retired navy and I have been enthralled…

by 6000. i was at a party and made out with the dessert tray lol.

today and now. I weighed more in high school as a freshman than I do now.

online dating can be good. I have a friend who had some success on okc and pof, but you have to weed through some weirdos lol.

wow! amazing journey. you are doing so great.
