I workout at home. But motivation is motivation. I really like seeing my strength improve. When I first started working out I did a daily plank challenge and seeing myself be able to hold it for a few seconds more each day really motivated me. I like being able to do more or go longer. And I tell myself if I don't get my…

I have no plans on gaining. Hopefully worst case scenario I will maintain my current weight. If not it would be great to reach my goal (9 pounds). I figure as long as I can keep my overeating holiday meals to just those holidays and keep up my normal mostly healthy eating and exercise, I should be able to maintain or…

This is beautiful! I am very happy for you!

"Just keep swimming..." "Be better than you were yesterday." "I CAN and WILL do this."

Your biggest critic will always be yourself hun! And I know exactly how you feel. When I lost my first 30 pounds I just couldn't see it or feel it with myself and it was very frustrating! The great thing is you found an exercise you love. Focus on all your improvements and all the progress you have made. Remember where you…

One of my favorite treats used to be a banana shake. I started making the fake banana ice cream (frozen bananas blended) and one day, many months after my last banana shake, my mother in law got me one. It was not good! Too much sugar and too artifical tasting! Ew. I no longer crave banana shakes!

I got a sample in the mail because I was curious and considering switching from sugar to that. Glad I got a free sample cause like you, i really did not like the artificial taste of it. I just slowly cut back on my sugar in my morning coffee and accept the small amount of calories it adds to my day!

So happy to read all these responses. I was a little worried as well, but figured I would get some good cardio in the morning and guesstimate amounts. Now i may just log it as a high calorie generic day!

Awesome job! That was one of my favorite milestones! Keep going!

Adding you!

I used to get so annoyed by being interrupted! But I think it had a lot to do with being self conscious about the whole thing and getting knocked out of my zone. I have gotten to the point of not really caring too much, at least about my fiance. I have actually worked out in the living room with him playing video games…

Oh man! I got a pretty awful one from my mother in law! It was towards the beginning and I had lost about 30-40 pounds at that point. She looked at me and said "Wow. Your diet and exercise is really starting to show. Instead of having one big front area (motioning from the top of her chest to her hips) you now have boobs…

5'5" SW: 230 CW: 160 GW: 150 150 is my current goal because it will push me from the overweight BMI category to the normal category. That will be such an amazing day!!! But my goal very well may change on that day as well!

Adding you!

Well first was seeing my weight get to its highest.... a year AFTER having my daughter. I was like... that doesn't seem right at all! At the same time my daughter was just learning to walk and approaching her 1st birthday and all I could see was the future and I didn't want to be the mom that can't run around and play with…

Love reading anything you post Sue. You are such an inspiration! My biggest changes I've noticed besides the physical stuff is pretty much on par with the others who have posted. I am way more aware of anything and everything that passes my lips. I am also way more in tune with my body.... what hunger really feels like vs…

Puppy! :smile: :smile: :smile:

Hello! I am adding you. I am also 5'5" and my CW is hovering near 170. My SW was 220 and my current GW is 150. I also have a daughter who is a 21 months old. I love new supportive and motivational friends. Anyone else, please feel free to add me.

Yes! Add me freaks! I like saucy and fun people!

When I wasn't focused on a lifestyle change and losing I heard a lot of rude things, mostly being called pregnant and being told i need to learn to "push away from the table" when they found out I wasn't. But what shocked me was the comments after I started losing. Someone said to me after losing about 30 pounds "Wow, you…

Basically what everyone else has said. I am far from an expert, but what works for me is building habits and trying my best to make healthier choices. I have a 19 month old daughter, who was only a year when I started. I understand your feelings of it being hard with your child and trying to squeeze in family time. I…

Second time trying t25. First time through it was bad timing, go too behind and had to start over. Starting week 3 of alpha tomorrow! Total body is killer, but i really like speed 1.0 for some strange reason. Think its the stretching :) I love stretching! lol

I loved 30 Day Shred! Went through it almost 2 times (first time through I injured a rib slipping on ice and had to restart after a week of rest!) Used it as my starting point to get me working out daily. It was hard, but I modified when I needed and found myself stronger and in a nice routine of exercising everyday. Would…

Thanks for sharing with us! Such a motivational story filled with great advice. I also like the intermittent fasting and have found most success using that method!

Great job so far! Congrats! I started at 230 and it took me about 30 pounds to see a difference. Noticed my clothes fitting looser first. Just keep going! You'll get there! It took awhile for the people around me to notice as well.

Great job!!! You look amazing!

Sent you a request! Accepting any and all requests from active and motivating people as well!

Same here!

I am stealing your words for your father cause that's exactly what I would say to mine! But to my mother: Thank you so much for all you have sacrificed for me. You are doing a wonderful job. When I become a unruly teenager, just stay strong cause we will make it through this phase and once I get in my twenties you will be…

I love this. Thanks for sharing! I will be reminding myself of this first thing in the morning!
