I look forward to getting to know each of you:)

What a great transformation! You LOOK happier too:-) Congrats and best of luck the rest of your journey:-)

Wow, this almost made me cry! I feel the same way:-) I'm motivated every day by people on this site!

I currently have four different sizes of shorts in my dresser. They ALL fit. I think it depends on the brand, style, etc. Have you taken measurements of yourself? That seems to be the best way for me to see a difference. I have a note card with my starting measurements in: Weight upper arm (each arm is different for…

Feel free to add me too:-) I'm on here every single day.

I agree with everything written here! MFP is about being honest with yourself, in my opinion. Record EVERYTHING! Every.thing. It might sting to record it, but that feeling of pride in yourself for the honesty you are giving yourself will outweigh it. You deserve a better life and a better you. YOU deserve it! I have to say…

I'm 5'3.5" (gotta get that .5" in there! LOL), almost 41 years old, and have a ridiculously small frame. My CW is 122.5 and my goal weight is around 110ish. I am strength training three times per week and doing cardio/prepping for a 5K six days per week. I take one day off per week to rest.

Yay for a smaller side view:) those are the differences that keep us all going!

Starting today! Terrified and excited at the same time:)

I did one minute while my kids gave me the, "Mommy's lost her mind" stares. I'll do the other when I can breathe again.

Haha! Wow, I'm feeling pretty ditzy right now. I didn't know the acronym, but I do have the app:) ive basically been doing the first couple of weeks' activities on my own for awhile. I know it says not to, but I might start with week three since my race is in seven weeks.

Thank y'all so much for the encouragement! I cannot believe how motivational and encouraging everyone is on this website:-) What a great support group!

I'm doing my first one almost a month after my 41st birthday. I decided that my forties will be my healthiest decade thus far. I'm tired of not living my life and watching tv all of the time. i want my kids to see a mom who loves being active and healthy:-) I'll have to look up the C25K as I'm not sure what that is. I just…

That's fantastic! Amazing what we can do when we make the decision to do it, isn't it?

That's pretty funny! I guess I won't run out of work out shirts, huh? Maybe I won't have to do laundry as often;-)

Congrats! When is your race? Mine is on September 23rd.

Thank you! Is it as addictive as people say? I'm at the stage where I just want to survive/finish it:)

I am so proud of myself!! My husband and I went to Mexico for our 10th wedding anniversary for the majority of last week. I ate some high calorie foods, but I exercised some control on portions AND went to the gym while at the resort. I actually LOST WEIGHT! I am so excited!! Starting weight (July 16): 126.0 1st week…

Thank y'all so much! I'm going to grab a small notebook to throw in my bag for the trip. We leave later this morning! My goal is to NOT gain any weight (and maybe even lose some) while we're gone!

I"ll write down what I eat, but i just don't know calories that well yet. I can log them when i get home, I guess. I can't plan my meals out too much as we'll be in a different country and I don't know what they have... thanks so much for your response!

I've been doing it on my own, but would love to jump into the challenge too! I'm just about fifteen pounds from my goal and August 27th is my 41st birthday. What a great gift to myself, right?? Starting weight (July 16): 126.0 1st week weight (July 23): 124.5 2nd week weight (July 30): 3rd week weight (August 6): 4th week…
