Ugh yes! I was just looking at my favourite pair of jeans, that I splurged on and spent $120 when I lost a significant amount of weight... and I see that there is a small hole forming in the thigh area. One day I'll have thighs that no longer rub together!!

I'm a stay at home mom, I do daycare as well. Went to school for Medical Office Assistant, but much rather stay home with my little guy!

Everyone loves to give a pregnant woman advice, share their experiences, or list off things you can't do! All you can do is educate yourself and make decisions for yourself. It gets worse the further along you are, and even after the baby is born. Everyone has great intentions, but they tend to go about it the wrong way. I…

It all varies from company to company. I'm usually a 8/9 in pants and a 28/29 in jeans if that helps!

Hmm... I'm thinking either grilled cod with brown rice and steamed broccoli, or a teriyaki chicken stirfry over quinoa. Depends what the family likes best!

I quite often have a smoothie for breakfast. A yummy, quick and easy breakfast and they are really filling! Plus there are so many options you don't really get bored! I'd defintiely pick up a blender!

I started my weightloss journey when my son was 9 months old. I personally don`t eat back my exercise calories, but I do occassionally use them as a "padding" if I have indulged a bit that day. I know for my body as soon as I start eating them back, I start gaining weight. But it really is trial and error! You can most…

I love being crafty. I have a little crayon business - I make molded crayons. I also make play felt food - can you tell I'm a mom of a toddler?! I also sew as much as I can, and love a good DIY project, as well as making all of my holiday decorations. Whenever I get the chance, I like to work on a project :)

Hey Katie! Glad you made the decision, I just made the decision to come back to this site, after piling on a bunch of weight! I'm going to add you, best of luck on your journey :)

I usually try and workout while my son and the daycare kids eat, While they eat breakfast I do the 30DS (dining room and living room are adjoined so it's easy to do while keeping an eye on them. Then I take the kids for a walk for an hour or so in the daytime. And finally I either do a walk with my son to get him ready for…

Hi there! This is exactly what I needed to find! My son is 2.5 and although I weigh way less than before I got pregnant, I still have the mommy belly/pooch that I desperately would loooove to lose!

Hey guys sorry I've been a bit MIA, I usually access here from my phone but it needs a new battery as it's not holding a charge, and my computer is on it's last leg too (why is it that when 1 thing goes, everything else decides to crap out as well?!) On top of that I rolled my ankle on Friday and even walking is very…

Well... as I said today wouldn't be too great! Burned 204 calories, and did my arm exercises for the 2nd day. Still trying to figure out a suitable substitute for the stairs exercise, as we just don't have stairs anywhere nearby!

Ugh don't you hate that?! I'm sure you look great though!! I had one the other night, I was out for a walk with my son, and a group of guys drove by and yelled "eww fat b****!" I wanted to cry, I've lost 50 lbs. 195-145 and finally feeling good about myself! Just more motivation to work harder I guess!

Still excellent work!!! Congrats :) I did my weigh-in today, although tomorrow is my birthday. 146.4 (1.4 lbs. away) If I could just be down 0.5 by tomorrow and be in the 145s I'd be happy!!

Hey guys! I actually had a great week (such a change from the +1 last week!) MFP Start:157 SAHMU Start: 154 Week 1: 153 Week 2: 150.4 Week 3: 150.2 Week 4: 148.6 Week 5: 149 Week 6: 146.4 This Week: -2.6 OH and I'm down 8 INCHES this week too! linake11 : I am so sorry to hear that, my thoughts go out to you and your family!

Oh great idea! I didn't even think of a vitamin, perfect! Thanks Amy!

I don't. I normally burn 800-1000 calories a day, and I just could never eat that many additional calories! I eat 1200... ya ya I only net a few hundred, bad me. But it's working I've lost 11 lbs. in the past 45 days. 157 down to 146, so I'm gonna stick with it and if I plateau I'll re-evaluate.

Ah I just started tracking my calcium... I don't even get 1/4 of what I'm supposed to in a day. This is gonna be hard for me, the only dairy I eat is yogurt... guess I'll be stepping up my celery and broccoli intake :S I have a feeling I'm not gonna do good at all this week.

Ah I'm not gonna lie this week is gonna be hard for me. I don't have stairs, nor do I have anywhere in walking distance (except the University, but it's not really somewhere I can take Lucas while I run stairs) with stairs. So I think I'm gonna have to do something else... any ideas? I so rarely break out of my workout…

Morning All!!! MFP Start:157 SAHMU Start: 154 Week 1: 153 Week 2: 150.4 Week 3: 150.2 Week 4: 148.6 Week 5: 149 Week 6: 146.4 This Week: -2.6 Woohooo!!!! I've got my max points for the week as well. All challenges were completed so 16 points. OH and I'm down 8 INCHES this week too!!!! Now if I can lose 0.6 by tomorrow I'll…

Hey there! Best of luck with the 30 Day Shred I'm currently on Level 1 Day 5 and loving it. Feel free to add me :)

Wooo ok. Done the entire challenge this week (now I know the day isn't over, but I've meal planned and am well under my fat for today!). PLEASE let tomorrow be an awesome weigh in!!! And have you guys seen the spreadsheet? We are kicking *kitten* in calories burned once again!!! So I have a total of 16 points... plus I…

Ok so I'm not sure if the post a picture means you get another point even if you've already posted? But I'm gonna post mine anyways. My "before" pics (covered up) Another before pic - taken week 3.

Until I joined here, I'd never heard of B12 being used for weighloss. All through highschool I had to have bi-weekly injections of it because I was always sleeping; from afterschool right through til the next morning. I definitely saw an increase in energy (so that is a plus of the exercise side) but never saw any…

Mine is public, and I make sure I log everything and when I screw up I hope that people tell me "you probably shouldn't have eaten that entire bag of chips" or whatever! It makes me way mroe accountable!

What an amazing transformation. Good for you, keep up the excellent work!

I am! I'm 23 (24 on Thursday, eek!). I'm down 48 lbs. with another 20 to go. Feel free to add me :)

Oh I guess I've been forgetting to mention, I've been under on all the required things each day! Haven't gotten in as much exercise as I wanted to this weekend, but I've done my 30DS both days, 50 minutes of walking yesterday, and so far 25 minutes today, but am about to head out for a 60+ minute walk. Definitely going to…

You look fantastic! I'm on L1D4, and am defintiely motivated to stick with it!
