I started my journey at the end of January. I lost 25 pounds before joining MFP and have lost another 5. I have around 20 left to go.

If you like hiking, snorkeling and being on a beach that isn't touristy check out St. John in the USVI. It truly is paradise. There are resorts there or you can book a nice cottage or stay at a B&B. There are a lot of really nice places to eat and lower end places. No fast food chains around. It's an amazing place. If you…

No one should be picked on or criticized. Everyone needs love & support, especially when they are trying to make a change. Great post!

The 1st time I lost a lot of weight (50 pounds) I just ran and did work on my abs. I added weight lifting after I lost my weight. This time I'm doing both. We will see how it works lol.

I'm not a guy but occasionally I sleep on the couch. Sometimes it is just because he snores like a freight train, and is a really big guy who doesn't roll over but flops. So when I'm super tired I will sometimes sleep on the couch. But I agree with others. You need to tell him how much it is bothering you. If he is any…

I'm 5ft 2 and I'm halfway to my goal weight. Feel free to add me!

Mine came from an ex-boyfriend who would call me Sunshine. All of our friends shortened it to Suny (which is the wrong spelling but they were mainly guys). At that time of my life I was super happy with my body. I still had stretch marks and no boobs but I could look at myself in the mirror and say I was the best me I…

Feel free to add me too! I need all of the motivation I can get.

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me.

That is awesome! So proud of you! And you should be proud of you too.

Feel free to add me, I'm a Mom of 4. I'm to the halfway mark.

I lost the love of my doggy life a few years ago. I had to have him cremated to be able to bury him in our yard, he was a Mastiff. I know it sounds silly but it just made me feel better to know he was still near us.

I love the Bob Harper DVD's. He helped me lose the pounds before I got here. His work outs are hardcore.

Awesome story thank you so much for sharing it with us. Mine came today. Today I did 30 Ninja Jump Tucks. And I did them with perfect form! 6 months ago I couldn't even do half of a Jillian Michaels DVD.

For me it was a year after my 3rd child. I realized it had been a year and I still couldn't wear my wedding band. I lost half before getting pregnant again. I swore after my 4th I wasn't getting my ring re-sized I was going to re-size myself.

I'm 35 fast approaching 36. I'm a Mom to 4. Would love to have new friends and more support! Anyone feel free to add me.

Bob Harper Inside Out Cardio uses weights off and on, his Inside Out Strength uses weights non stop. For an hour. His DVDs are around 10 at Target or I think you can get the boxed set from his site fairly cheap.

I am by no means an expert and I'm sure others who are will respond, but have you thought about incorporating strength training at all? Or doing HIIT?

When I met my current husband 5 years ago I was in amazing shape. Worked out 6 days a week at healthy the whole thing. He didn't care what he ate and never worked out. I kept telling myself that a little eating bad wouldn't hurt. Skipping the gym a little wouldn't hurt. A year later I was pregnant and all of my hard work…

No change for me this week either :(

I don't belong to one at the moment but I loved the YMCA. Ours is huge and offered free daycare. They also had a lot of classes that were free. I'm not sure how much a personal trainer cost but you did get 2 sessions free. They would assess your fitness level at the first one and then the second they would give you a work…

I've been living in comfy shorts and t-shirts. 2 out of the 3 of those about fall off. Everything I have is either too small or too big. Unsure what I will do this winter. All I have from last year are the sweat pants I bought to live in after the baby was born. Plus side is I have a lot of my smaller clothes still. My…

You look amazing! Keep it up! You look so happy in the last pic!!!!

Because I look pregnant!!!! Still. 7 months later. Sigh. Why do I love being someone who is committed to a healthy lifestyle? Because I know some day I will get to where I need to be and that if I do it the right way I will keep it off for life.
-
I just say "well bless your heart" and walk off. I agree with others. Usually when people see you changing in a positive way it makes them look at themselves and they usually don't like what they see. So it makes them feel better to put you down. Even in a passive aggressive way. Keep doing what you are doing. You know…

Me!!! I was laid off in December shortly after having my 4th baby. Here lately most days I only seem to get out of the house to do something for the kids. Sometimes I completely lose my motivation to work out. But then I look in the mirror and remind myself that no one is going to give me my body back. I have to take it. I…

Welcome!! Feel free to add me. I'm a lot older than you but would be happy to offer emotional support. I think it is a really good idea to make portions. You can do snacks in the small sandwich bags too and have them ready to go when you get the munchies. But it sounds like you have a wonderful start. Just don't give up.…

Thank you all for your support! Alanna what a freaking jerk! Men say the dumbest things.
