I can't see the pic yet, but just basing it on your ticker, I personally have never noticed weight-loss in myself until I lost about 20 pounds. Keep it up, you're heading in the right direction and soon you'll see those results.

Hi ladies! I think my boys are feeling better but now my German Shepherd (and running partner) has a hurt right front leg. I have no clue what happened. She was fine this morning, was outside a bit in the backyard in the morning, then in her crate while I took the boys shopping. She was out with uswhen we got home and then…

I lost a lot of weight 4 years ago before I had my boys and felt the same way. My problem was loose skin which Im sure will be worse this time after 2 pregnancies. BUT, while I didn't like the way I looked in the mirror, my clothes fit great and I felt strong. Try and focus on those things. Also, maybe focus on toning to…

I'm thinking about the same which, I believe translates to about 9kg.

I have found that yogurt helps my sweet cravings.

I bet you are so proud. My H is constantly trying to push desserts like cake, cookies, and ice cream on our 2 1/2 year old and is appalled that he won't try them. I'm thrilled he's content to have his veggies and some fruit for dessert.

I've done my workout already (had to run on the treadmill instead of outside since my hubby's gone) and the bushmen challenge. Gotta say, I like the arm ones better than the leg ones yesterday. I'm NOT looking forward to doing them again tomorrow. I've got enough water in me already to count for the challenge (I've still…

My two handsome little boys. I want to be around to watch them grow up to be old men. I want them to remember their Mommy playing with them and not just sitting in front of the tv (like their Daddy does, unfortunately). I want them to remember me being strong. And I want them to be proud to say I'm their Mom.

So it takes you a little longer than 90 days to lose 30 pounds. What's the big deal with that? Not meeting a goal you set does not make you a loser. You've lost 23 pounds! Celebrate that and keep at it and you'll lose the other 7 too.

I really needed this. I've been at my wits end dealing alone with two cranky sick little boys alone since my husband left for the weekend to help out his critically ill elderly parents. But your post made me remember this song and it's helping my attitude change. Instead of being upset at the situation I can rejoice in the…

I watched the video too. For those who don't want to pull it up, basically it's a bicep curl/shoulder press combination. So start with weights in hand arms down palms out. Curl up, then push overhead, bring back to top of curl and curl down. I hope that made sense.

I would say at your current weight a 20 pound weight loss in one month is completely unhealthy and you would do yourself more harm than good with it. A 6.8 pound loss in a month sounds fantastic and like you know what you're doing and what works for your body. Keep it up. And remember, the weight didn't go on overnight, so…

Water in = check! Under cals = check! Bushmen done? = check! Those globe jumps. Eeks. I was scared after seeing the video. I've done them and now I'm still scared of them. Hopefully the end of the month they won't kick my booty as badly. I'm actually in a really crabby mood today. My 2 1/2 year old has been sick all day…

I have the DVDs and like them. I've never done a class though so I can't compare.

I'm not going to do measurements since the 60-day slimdown I'm doing has me doing measurements every 10 days and so I just did them back on Sunday. But start weight = 182.6 Goal weight = 177

Are you eating enough calories? You need an additional 300-500 calories over what you are eating in order to sustain breastmilk. And sometimes people need more water. I have a 2 month old who is exclusively breastfed (my second) and I typically drink at minimum over 100 oz of water a day. But as far as weight loss goes, it…

Tina - my left knee has been acting up a bit but I will *try* the bushmen the first few days. If I absolutely can't do it then I'll switch back to pygmy. I want to be able to say I've done it, but I also don't want to injure myself and then not be able to meet my 10K on Thanksgiving goal.

So he wants you to pay half the copay, which is 0. Half of 0 is 0. I don't get why he's being a toolbox. Yep, definitely contact your attorney.

People call Wednedsay Hump Day because it's the middle (hump) of the week.

Ed, you need to market your own talking alarm clock. It would help me (and I'm sure others) to wake up early for booty-kicking workouts hearing a sweet Cowboy saying, "Wake up you sexy Warrior! Now go get it done!"

Whoa - those daily exercises look killer, espeically considering I know I've got some killer exercises lined up as my daily exercises those same days. This should be interesting. Now to decide if I want to be pygmy or bushmen. The competitor in me is thinking advanced as a huge challenge, but I also don't want to injure…

I'll preface this by saying that this list would only matter if anything were to happen to my husband. And sadly, a lot of the things on my list are characteristics he does not possess (some he does). But that's how it goes, right? You don't know what you need until you don't have it. 1. Loves God. 2. Loves my children as…

Wish I could join this one with you, but I don't care for coffee or tea so my one daily diet dr pepper is how I survive the day after waking up who knows how many times a night to care for my newborn. At this point, it's a matter of survival. I've gone soda free before so I know I can do it again, just need to be ready.

It will depend on your starting weight and body type, but for me, anytime I've lost (sadly I've yo-yo'd for years) it has taken about 20 pounds before people would say anything.

I haven't followed any of the individual DVD plans, but I mix them in with others and I think they're good. Intervals, in my opnion, are really the way to go. Just make sure to keep mixing it up to keep your body guessing.

Make your food diary on here public and then post everything you put in your mouth. That way you may hide it from other people location-wise, but the MFP public will see it and know about it. Also, think of it this way, your body knows you're eating it regardless of if other people do. All you are doing is hurting yourself…

I'm getting over a cold myself. What I did was listen to my body. I rested the first two days and yesterday, even though it was still in my chest I just felt like I NEEDED to workout. So I did. But even then I still listened to my body and modified the moves on my DVD to a lower intensity when I needed to. If your body is…

Your metabolism slows down when you sleep and breakfast is what triggers it to speed back up, so by skipping breakfast you're keeping your body at a lower calorie burn rate. Some people say to use your mosr calories ar breakfast. I personally eat a smaller one but it's still something. And I find by doing that and eating a…

^ this 100%. As for me, I'm going to spend my day soaking up as much time as I can with my reasons for existence (otherwise known as my sons) and while they're napping I'll workout to make my dash hopefully last a little longer.

Everytime I've lost weight (sadly it's been an up and down rollar coaster for me) it has taken me losing 20 pounds before someone noticed. And maybe the guy was so distracted by you in your bathing suit that he couldn't think straight. I know my husband doesn't notice much of my losses or gains at all. Heck, I got new…
