You can add me! I am 41, 4 kids, 20,18,16 and 5. I am in menopause also which (total hysterectomy) and it's hard to get the weight off as well) I just made a huge purchase which will keep me on track or my husband will kill me if I don't use it. I am at my highest weight ever. I'm more than happy to have mom's who are my…

you can add me too! lisa.marie.caroll@gmail.com

So since mine are connected the fitbit and MFP, I don't have to do anything extra but let them sync together?

I think it's awesome! I love fitbit!

Do I have to worry about sweating messing it up?

I am interested in it for running again, I broke my leg in 3 places and was non weight bearing for 4 months so hence, I gained the weight back that I had lost, I am going to steadily (with the MD's ok, move from walking to running). I hope anyways.

I'm walking with a limp right now and it stinks, I'm trying to figure out how far I can walk without my leg giving out on me. I know sometimes I feel like it will. I just want to get outside and get moving again. I'm hoping once PT is over that I am going to be able to walk better. I have a Disney trip to take in August…

This is utterly heartbreaking, I know the pain that you are going through, my husband had that nasty affair too. I lost the weight when I finally lost him, That was 8 years ago. I found a new husband who treats me good, I gained the weight back but he's on an exercise program with me. Don't focus on what you have lost,…

lol

YAY!! So proud of you! You look great and I'm certain that your son is so happy to have a daddy who is energetic! Great job!!

When I had a membership before I would make myself drive there and once I was there then I would make myself go in. I was always glad when I finished. I hate however going to the gym now. I prefer to walk/run around the neighborhood as things are always changing outdoors. You meet new people and have an awesome support…

I do wear sunscreen most of the time, I worked in Oncology for a long time and seen the effects of Melanoma. I used to do tanning beds all the time about 5 years ago. I look back now and regret those decisions that I made due to the fact that I could potentially pay for it now. I inspect my skin for moles, and changes, I…

Not going to feeling sorry, I've walked/ran 20 miles in the last 2 days, I am determined to make it to my goal weight which is 150.

My husband said I needed to grow a thicker skin too, he was upset too but he handled it better than I did, when we was talking with the "woman".

I was out without a shirt, when it's not a thousand degrees (lol) here, then I wear a shirt. Of course it is a hot summer so I can't see wearing a shirt as I am anticipating my stomach to continue to decrease (hopefully) She said the something like "That's nasty you need to put a shirt on" and well since the only thing…

I wasn't going into the convenient store, just cutting through the parking lot, I normally run in this top, so yeah, it get so hot, even walking in this top is hot, if it's 75-80 degrees, then I shirt myself. So there was no shopping, just her yelling at me. I would never wear that into a store, that is for exercise…

You are awesome!!! Great Job!! Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story! :heart:

Thank you.

I didn't really call her one of those, I poked fun at her teeth instead, I was wrong for that, now mine are going to fall out. But you know how it is, once you get out of that type of situation you start replaying everything that you could have said if you had been fast on your feet, Mine would have been, "Do you have a…

Lol, you gave me a chuckle, I could so visualize that in my head! :)

Thanks guys to all of you for being so awesome, I appreciate everyone's input. You guys really rock!! :heart:

Yes, she did have an older fellow with her, he looked to be in his 60's, I honestly couldn't tell you how old she was, my husband said she looked like a Meth head, she did look strung out and that's where I went with the insults, The guy driving went on in the store despite him seeing myself and my husband approaching, he…

It look a lot for me to post that picture.

This is the offending look, my shorts are tied tight because I run with my phone on me and I don't want it to fall down, you can see how hot is was with a sports bra on, can you imagine a shirt too?

Me prior to gaining my weight after having my last child, me after putting on my last child and me working my way down. I just want to be me again.

Fat was in there somewhere, It all ran together, the insults was flying, but yes, she did call me fat.

Essentially, I was wearing a sports bra because it's 95 degrees where I am at. It's very hot and it's the only real time I can get exercise in. Yes, I was on a public road, they pulled in the parking lot where I was walking and decided to insult me, after I walked up to her car, my husband said Mam, that wasn't called for…

Since they pulled into the parking lot that we was walking through, I did approach her vehicle, she told me I was fat, I told her she needed new teeth, that was ugly of me. I should have told her she needed a bag over her head but I didn't. Getting down on her level doesn't make me a good person.

She got a response out of me, my husband who is a police officer pulled me away by my arm. I couldn't help but feel ashamed and hurt. My husband told me to let it go, that their opinion of me didn't matter. I do have a belly on me, I've had 4 kids, but it's not awful. I tend to look a little pregnant hence the reason why I…

I'm in Knoxville! Welcome to Tennessee!
