  • I bought a Goddess Sports Bra from Macy's (42DDD). Good support without the uniboob look. The girls were not squished like other sports bras I've owned. At first it was a little stiff - hard to clasp - but now, I can do it with ease. Washes well. Bounce is minimal, but I have no pain after circuit training/running. What a…

  • Welcome. I totally understand when you said that you feel like life is passing by. I have two daughters the same age as yours, and I have to tell you last summer was the laziest summer of my life. We didn't do anything ... no beach, park, etc. This summer, I want things to be different. I have a long way to go too, but I…
  • I use the Wii and love the EA Sports Active. Right now, I'm a little more than half way through the 30 fitness challenge. It's fun, combining strength training with cardio and mini games. I use it with the balance board and really am enjoying the minigames (tennis, basketball, boxing, etc). It is a decent workout and makes…
  • Welcome. I want to echo the "I hear ya's" that you've already received. There are a lot of us in your boat. I've gained weight during both my pregnancies, lost it, gained it back plus some.

  • If you don't have Thrifts in your area, try eBay or freecycle. I've bought a few things on eBay that I've loved for pretty cheap (including the $40 gown I needed for a wedding). I've also gotten a few things off freecycle (free is always good).
  • Welcome. I'm on day 10 and it has been great. People are genuinely supportive and helpful here. I like having a group of people who are going through what I'm going through and celebrating the mini victories with me. They are right ... losing weighr with firends is easier. Your story sounds a lot like mine. I had a hard…

  • Welcome. Glad you're here! I have a skinny chocholic hubby too. Uggg .... he just has to think about losing weight and he does. Me ... I like a nice piece of bread or some chips too. Having to enter my food everyday has been very helpful and eye opening. Feel free to add me as a friend.

  • Way to go! Just wanted to let you know that your post is truly motivating to me. I just started and can't run at all. I thought my 3 min run this morning was going to kill me. Your success is wonderful and inspiring.
