I'm 5'4" and my goal is 130.

Wow! You rock, girlfriend!

So inspiring!!! Congratulations on your success.

Me too! Damn things get in the way of everything.

Feel free to add me! I'm also 38 years old (for 18 more days). I am a stay at home mom and have about 55 more pounds to lose. My diary is open as well.

I have the Flex and think the Fitbit is definitely worth it. That being said, I don't rely on it for accurate calorie burning information. I use it more as a motivator. If my steps are low, I get up and get moving. If my friends are "winning" on the leaderboards, I get up and get moving. I park at the back of the parking…

Sounds like you have a good guy. It's hard news to take, even if you already know it...and agree with it. He went about it in a nice and caring way and communicated how he felt. That's a sign of a healthy relationship!

I have the Flex and I love it. More than anything I use it as a motivator to get up off my butt and move. If I see my friends getting more steps than me, it forces me to walk the stairs a few times. I've had mine about 5 months now and I feel lost without it.

I have back problems so I have to pace myself so I don't get bogged down with pain. Some of my favorites are Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs. They are effective but don't make you feel like you've been hit by a truck the next day.

I am turning 39 next month and am re-starting with MFP. I've lost quite a bit of weight using the app/site so far and look forward to reaching my goal in 2014 once and for all. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I am shooting for between 130 and 140 but we will see what happens as I get closer. I haven't been that "thin" since I was in my early 20's. Now I am pushing 40 and have had 2 kids so I don't know what normal and healthy will look like as I get in shape.

I am re-starting as well. I have really got off track over the past few months and I'm just done feeling like this. Feel free to add me as a friend.

lilbearzmom is correct. The Flex does not measure stairs. The One and the new Force do though.

I am katrina2475 on Instagram. I post mostly pics of my kids or my dog but I want to use it to take progress pictures as well.

I love this. I have put off getting family portraits done until I lose weight and it is just stupid.

Sent you a friend request. I am doing Turbo Jam and love it. I still have a bit to go but with this and Hip Hop Abs, my clothes are getting super baggy.

I used to eat fast food a couple times a week. Now that I've changed my diet and began exercising, I seriously feel sick and weighted down after eating fast food. It doesn't even taste the same to me anymore.

I'm not a success story...yet! I had my youngest via c-section in April of 2009 and am fighting to get my abs back. I also just had surgery in December to repair my abdominal muscles because they separated with my pregnancies. This also caused 3 ventral hernias and an umbilical hernia that I had repaired as well. Now that…

I love Yucca! My husband is Cuban and Yucca is served at almost every family dinner. We mostly eat it boiled and seasoned with garlic.

Definitely nutrition. You have to give your body fuel so you can work out.

Sending you a friend request. I'm a 38 year old SAHM to a 3 year old and 5 year old and I like to eat real food. No 1000 calorie Lean Cuisine food diary here.

Great job!

Sent you a request. I am active here everyday and my food diary is public.

I was/am addicted to potato chips as well. It was the hardest habit to break. I would put my kids to bed, grab my chips and the remote and have my "me time". Now I try to not snack at all at night but if I do, I replace the chips with air popped popcorn, almonds or cucumber slices.

I've been a member here for 3 years but just recently started getting serious about this. I'm 37 and a stay at home mom to 2 girls. I work out at home using DVDs, Gazelle and a Total Gym. I have about 50 more pounds to lose and share my food diary.

I just got the Fitbit Aria scale and love it. It is expensive ($129) but syncs over wifi to my Fitbit account which in turn syncs with MFP and also reads body fat.

I have the zip and love it. It really keeps me motivated to do better than the day before. The social aspect is neat too.

Pineapple and watermelon. Those 2 are more tempting to me than chocolate cake. I suppose it could be worse.

Newman's Own Light Basalmic Vinaigrette. Love it!

I have it but haven't done it yet. I have 16 more days until I am cleared for exercise after having surgery. I can't wait to try it though.
