I guess we are all in the same boat. Got 3, 2 years old and a 6 months old baby all in a span of 4 years. I'm only 5 feet and weigh 151. Went back to yoga a couple of weeks now and started c25k. I'm just dying to get my old body back.

@renae - congratulations on finishing your juice fast. Yup, I could use all the motivation I need. my scale went up a pound or two. So I'm planning to trying to keep my calories under control and to burn more calories this week. Last week was just plain blah. @meg - if only my little ones could start riding a bike..I'll be…

HI everyone... @ron2 - carrying around 2 loads of boxes equivalent to your weight loss is indeed an eye opener and even great inspiration. I've read posts in MFp where they were showing how much weight they lost in terms if items, such as a sacks of rice, flour, etc. @steph - How was your night off? preparing for bday…

thanks everyone @steph - great NSV as well. Still can't get into my prepreggers clothes. It seems you have a packed weekend ahead. Have fun!! @meg- riding a bike sounds lovely. Its been years since i've been on one. My hubby and I just recently watched Life of PI and the movie is really amazing. I've heard good reviews and…

HI everyone... Hoping you all have a great day. Just want to share my recent NSV. A couple of weeks back, I was whining about not completing W4 of C25k. I had to pause the running part just to catch my breath. So for the past 2 weeks, I went back and did W3 all over again. And finally last Sunday, I was able to finish W4.…

@janey and meg - the rainy season is about to start. we only have two seasons here, its either wet or dry. june to nov are the rainy months. feb to may is summer then the other months are in between. But for some weird reason I love the rainy season. It brings great memories having our classes in school suspended because…

@Meg - I guess you're not the only odd man out. I'm not even from UK, US or Canada. I'm from a tiny little country called the Philippines. So Ron, can I also be given an honorary badge or something.? @Renaejae - I could totally relate to putting ourselves first. I have two babies all under 2. I work full time. So I'm…

Hi everyone.. @Ron2- congrats on the continuing weight loss. Arggh, if there is one thing I hate in this world, is driving to the airport regardless if its sending them off or waiting for them to arrive, well except if I have few gifts waiting to be opened in the luggage. Then adding the agony of driving in a traffic jam..…

@Renae -welcome back.. great to hear that you're feeling better @megblackburn - will look into chi running. And no, Im not running really fast. Just normal by my standards. Since I can't finish W4 without pausing it. I just went back to W3. You really are a force to contend with. I'm just at awe with the bundle of energy…

Hi everyone I followed your advice and placed it on sedentary and even lowered my number of exercise for the week to at least 3. So I'm now pegged at 1200 cal per day. Maybe that was my problem to begin with, eating too much and burning too little. Wish I was like meg, though. Ron is absolutely right, we are all wimps…

hi everyone.. i'm back (for the nth time)... i promise to read back all your posts. I've been gone a week and now a new thread was created. Anyway, I was on hiatus last week. I'm applying for a new job and I've been sneaking out of my office for my interview and exams. I didn't want to inform my office just yet so as not…

sjo68 - great job on the push up challenge. I also have it on my phone together with the sit-up challenge. I still have to take the initial test and maybe I'll end up doing only 2. 16 is a huuge number for me, so wow. janeytay01 - yup, weekends will always be my achilles heel. hopefully, in time I'll just consider it an…

Hello everyone.. Janetay01 - Yey, we are both doing JM's banish fat. Yup, sore knees and all. BUt what the heck, I'm burning 500 cals then I wouldn't mind it all....Hope you had a great weekend. megblackburn - thanks for accepting my invites. Well, I'm just starting to exercise more recently. A couple of weeks back, I was…

Hi ladies. tnsummer - in just a few days you'll be enjoying your summer. NOw, I'm remembering the joys and pains of a student. Good luck with the violin lessons. I'm not musically inclined, so I can not play any instrument whatsoever even if my life depended on it. Also, kudos for taking up lifting. I already read the…

Hello ladies.. Wow, I've been gone a day and look at all these posts. Everyone here is so darn active in a very good way. rdcphpone572 - welcome to our growing community. Congrats on taking the slow road. As they say, the faster we lose it, the faster it all comes back. Just like anything else in this life, we will only…

Hello ladies. @tnsummer - how's your review? good luck on your exams this week. So sorry to hear about your crappy week. But hey, tomorrow is another day. @megblackburn - congrats on the 9.8 lbs and how was the zoo trip? So did you bring your stroller with you. When I travel with my boys, I always see to it to bring the…

Congratulations. Now, that's what I call a blessing in disguise. Kudos to you and your wife for not giving up!!!

Hi everyone.. @evdjohnson -thanks for inviting me again. Anyway, I tried to do what you said about my running and I also watched some youtube videos about the proper form and guess what, I ran yesterday and I woke up this morning with no pain on my shin. Yehey. @sjO68 - good for you. I guess your brain is now circuited to…

Hi everyone. live4more - great to see that you have 2 great days of staying under your calorie. It's all about taking it one day at a time. evdjohnson - oooooh baby fever. So are you guys planning it anytime soon? Yeah, babies are delightful except when they cry. :tongue: :tongue: Thanks for the tip about my running. Yeah,…

Hi ladies and gentleman. How's everyone doing? @megblackburn - congratulations on your 5k run and the walk with your son is a time well spent although it took you much longer. When kids our younger they want to be with us all the time and when they get older they will probably run the opposite direction. I'm already…

Hi everyone. Wow, its been almost a month since I last posted on this thread. There are so many new faces and I'm having a hard time reading all the previous posts. I've been counting calories on and off for the past few weeks. As for the exercise, well I suffered setback after setback. When march ended, I promised myself…

^^^ Thanks. Yeah this really sucks big time. A couple of so ho-hum weeks, I was dead serious of starting this April 1. Then this thing happened. Thanks for reminding me of my calorie intake. I was so depressed then I started emotional eating this weekend. Although, I weighed myself last and there's no change there, yet.…

Is it too late to join? I'm currently 148. Looking to get down to 120 lbs...

Thanks penny for continuing the thread. I didn't want to end the thread and start a new one 'coz I don't how to do it. I woke up with the side of my back aching. I'm not sure if its the Shred or how I slept last night. I failed to wake up early today so I missed my exercise time. Hopefully, I could go home early and hit…

Hi ladies. Penny - Hope everything settles down with ur bf and his interviews. It's hard to be stressing about yourself then add in another person. That's double stress for you. At least you had the energy to exercise which is a good thing. Exercise brings i happy hormones so it might help you cope up with these things. As…

Feeling crappy. I gave birth 4 months ago and I still look preggo. An officemate just reported back to the office after giving birth 2 months ago and she is way thinner than me. I know that I'm starting to exercise and eat right for a month now and I feel like nothing is changing. I know that I'll be back to my…

Thanks. I'm already done with D3 of L2. I still can't do the push-up so I'm still on the plank pose. Although, I'm starting to get the hang of it. When I started L2, going down to a plank pose was quite difficult. I just hate it that the JM has to put all the plank positions all close together. I think my shoulder is going…

HI ladies. I just came back from a 7-day hiatus, meaning I didn't exercise and wasn't eating smartly. I'm scared to weigh myself and see the pounds come back. Last week, I had trouble going to the gym at night. I felt so tired and just wanted to stay home and relax. I guess working too hard a couple of weeks back started…

Finally started D1 Level 2. My shoulders and arms are still shaking from all those plank positions. I was about to stop half-way through the video when then JM started talking about jeans shopping. So what the heck, no pain, no gain. I just want to have my pre-baby body back.

Thanks. I'm still using a measly 2 lb dumb bell. I need to buy a new one, cause I'm finding it too easy for "some" of the moves...
