Congratulations! Feel free to add me as a friend! My goal through this pregnancy is to continue to workout throughout the entire pregnancy. My energy level has definitely been low and my workouts aren't as intense as they have been but I am just focused on keeping moving. :)

I just wanted to introduce myself. I will be 8 weeks pregnant this coming Thursday. I go see our OB today and can't wait to see our tiny little blip on the monitor and hear that sweet heartbeat!! This is our 4th baby but we will have 5 total. My stepson is 20 and leaves for the Navy in December. He keeps asking if we are…

I know you sent me this before but I am printing it and putting it several places in my house...the pantry, the freezer, the refrigerator door. Thanks!!

Great! Thank you!!!!! I am SO happy that you replied! I was beginning to think that I am the only one that has a problem with emotional eating! ;)

Thank you for sharing! I am on my 2nd week of C25K training and am planning on running my first 5K on Thanksgiving Day. I am very nervous about it but I have plenty of time to prepare. Your story is very inspiring! Thanks again for sharing!!!

I grew up in Cottleville and went to St. Dominica's High School in O'Fallon, MO. I now live in Wentzville with my husband and 4 sons.

I have the 30 day shred and am thinking about starting that next week but I don't know if I want to give up my "me" time at the gym.

Is this from the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred??? You all look great!!!

You look fantastic!!! Congratulations! You are quite an inspiration to me! :)

Beautiful!!! Great job!!!

Welcome to "the group". It is great having support from others on the same program as we are on. This has been a wonderful tool for me to use and helps me to stay on track...for the most part! ;) I do know that when I am 100% on plan that I lose the most weight so I have to tell myself not to cheat because I feel like I am…

WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL job!!!! Thank you SO much for sharing and being an inspiration to so many of us!! I am VERY proud of you for accomplishing what you have so far and I know that you will accomplish all you have left to lose and more! I love your positivity and outlook on life!!!

You are doing great! Keep it up!!! I can see progress and doesn't it feel great to go down a size?? I have lost 25lbs and am in the same size as you. I am about a 1/2 and inch shorter than you and have a LOT to lose as well but I am trying not to focus on what I have left to lose but instead what I have already…

I hope this posts right but this is what the American Council on Exercise says... *General Body Fat Percentage Categories Classification Women (% fat) Essential Fat 10-12% Athletes 14-20% Fitness 21-24% Acceptable 25-31% Obese 32% plus At 25% you would fall into the acceptable range for body fat per the exercise council. I…

I don't have my thyroid either. I am in the beginning of week 6 and have lost 20.7 lbs so far. You can do it! Are you scheduled to see your Dr in the next couple months to check your tsh levels? I will be going in August again just to be sure that everything is doing good. One thing that I have had to do is use the shakes,…

Thanks for the advice! I really enjoy working out and how I feel afterwards. It helps to hear what is what is working for others too!

I am going to continue to do the strength training then! Thank you! How often do you exercise and for how long? My health coach told me to do 3 days a week for no more than 45 mins each. I have been on plan for the past 2 days and I definitely know that you are right that I have to stop the cheating here and there and stay…

The number 1 reason that I exercise is so that I don't have the flabby skin. The number 2 reason is because it makes me feel great! I was actually just thinking this morning about taking a week off of exercise and strictly just focus on staying 100% on plan for the week and see how much I lose. I have been very busy with…

I am almost finished with week 5 but my first week I lost 12.1. I am down 18.2 so far. Looking to lose 2 more this week and praying to keep a steady weight loss over the next few weeks beforfe we go on vacation!

Thanks for the feedback!!! I am a bit nervous about going on vacation and staying on plan but I am going to plan and stay on track as much as possible!

I think I would have to say the Chocolate Chip Soft Bake. I add an extra TBSP of water to what it calls for so it is kind of gooey and oh so good!

Thank you for all the feedback! I am still undecided.

I like your all plans better! I may go back to the 5 & 1 plan and just cut back on my intesity! I like the structure of the Medifast program for me and I do enjoy working out and how I feel when I work out but I was feeling very hungry. I was also pushing myself in my workouts as well! What are your opinions on strength…

Awesome job!!! You are a wonderful inspior sharing and you look GREAT!!!:smile:

I am on my 4th week of Medifast. PLEASE friend me!! I need all the support I can get! I have a LONG way to go! Thank you in advance!

Where is this Medifast cookbook I keep hearing about? I am in my 4th week and a cauliflower pizza sounds wonderful! Please let me know because I have over 100lbs to lose and I don't want to get bored on this!

I started exercising last week. I have been doing about an hour of cardio a day. I spoke to my health coach and we have decided that I have to change to a 4 & 2 program because I was not getting enough calories and I was hungry! Now with the 2 lean and green meals a day I am feel better and am not hungry! I am considering…
