Hi there, can you go for a walk at lunch or break time? I am in the same boat as you although my kids are a bit older. It is tough. Perhaps walking from car/bus to your classes? Maybe wear workout gear and jog to class?

Week 0 starting weight = 155.2 Goal weight = 135 Gonna get there by Christmas!

add me too!

I'm getting back at it today, too. Good luck!

Fantastic! Your good news just made my evening. Best of luck to all :)

I'm not doing it yet (although I have borrowed it and have watched a bit of it). I want to get there, but I'm working my way up. I think I will try to start it closer to the summer when it's very light out in the morning - it will be easier for me to get up early enough, then, because the workouts are so long! Best of luck…

Same here - my feelings exactly!

buuump!

I think it's a matter of continuing to try and not giving up. I am on level 3 of 30DS (but I am doing it in 60 days, not 30!) It has taken me a long time to work up to where I am now. Just keep trying and don't expect to be able to do everything that those girls do in the video - they are in fantastic shape and are there…

Hang in there! You definitely have your work cut out for you, but you have a very supportive community here that will help you along the way. Best of luck on your journey! Add me if you like. Cheers!

I'm from Markham - add me!

Pumpkin and pumpkin spices...mmmmm....

I try to stick to meat of some kind and some steamed vegetables - maybe a bit of couscous or quinoa on the side. (Couscous takes 5 minutes to prepare - just boil the water/stock, dump it in and remove from heat.) That's how I try to keep it simple to save time when I get home from work and it covers the food groups. As for…

Hi there! Welcome! I have been on here for almost a year - I did really well for 3 months, then got busy (although I maintained my loss for several months), then I started gaining some of it back because I was out of the habit of tracking and exercising. But now I'm back at it and it is like a fresh beginning. I find that…

I am in!! I need to get back on the horse. I'm sending you a friend request :o)

Congratulations! You look so happy and you should be really proud of yourself! You are an inspiration!!

That sounds reasonable (tho I am not any kind of expert other than nursing two kids myself). I mean, if he is getting a certain amount of calories from solids now, you probably could cut back on your caloric intake somewhat. There are probably lots of nutritionists on this site who could give more expert advice :) Good…

I'm in the same boat! I'm adding you all! LOL!

Just a thought but check to see that you are getting enough protein relative to carbs and fat. I try to stick to a 40-30-30 ratio (carbs-protein-fat). Too many carbs at one sitting puts me into a carb coma, no matter whether it's good carbs or bad. I try to find things with a low glycemic index - this means the sugar in…

I took a look at the last 2 days in your food diary (sorry, probably not very thorough :) ) and I noticed that you are eating a lot of protein but are a little bit light on the carbs. Perhaps your body needs more energy from the carbs and that is why you are getting the hungry feeling? Maybe some high fibre carbs like…

I'm there with ya, sister. I have two kids and a 3/4 time job and am basically CEO of the house since hubby works so much i.e. I have do organize and do almost everything. I have some help but it's still mentally draining. It's nice to know that we're not alone, eh?

I am almost the same age, weight and height as you - at least I was at my starting point. I had the same issue - the scale wasn't moving although I was tightening my belt to the next notch, etc. (losing inches). It was nice to have my clothes fitting better but being a numbers person the scale was frustrating me by not…

Now THAT looks awesome!

You look so fantastic - congratulations! You're a real inspiration!!

Don't be nervous, you look FANTASTIC!! More importantly, how do you feel?

Thank you for sharing this! Made my day! I'm going to share bits of it with my (little) kids.

Thanks! Got it!

As you can see from my goals in my signature I am trying to fit into my leather pants from a few years ago. I love them and they are hanging in my closet. I still can't get one leg into them (don't go past my thigh) but I am definitely motivated. The only thing is that back then (when they fit me) I had no muscles!! So if…
