I'm down 50 lbs. and I never notice it, until I look back at pictures. However these last 15-20 lbs. I see no change, even in pictures. It's definitely frustrating but I know for a fact my clothes fit better!

When I initially started losing weight I went from 195-160 and those 35 lbs. had me down from a 34 jean to a 29 jean. However I've now lost another 15 and I'm only down to a 28 jean. I think (for me anyway!) the more weight I lose the slower it takes to move down a size.

Alright, so there's only a few days left... I'm down to 147... got 2 to go, can I do it?! I've lost 2 since Wednesday (after gaining 1 eek!)... ahh I hope so!

Every day. Not over the top or anything, but I feel so pale and sickly looking without it! I will never ever leave the house without foundation, blush, eyeliner and mascara.

So I just had the BEST night ever. Went out for a girlfriend's birthday BBQ and it was a lot of people I hadn't seen seen in a good 4-5 years. I was saying hi to everyone and NO one knew who I was, when I said, "Michelle Mann..." everyone was like "NO WAY!! I would never have recognized you, you look so skinny!" Wow talk…

I try to stay with my calories at all times, and when there is a special occassion, I allow myself to eat what I would like, without going overly crazy.

Hahaha this totally made my day! But definitely something to celebrate!

So yesterday I ended up doing 30 minutes Zumba - 265 cals. 45 minutes walking @ 3.5 uphill - 302 cals. and 90 minutes walking @ 3.0 - 302 cals. for a total of 869. I was under my calories, did my push-ups etc. This week is shaping up to be good, I really really really wanna wake up on my birthday and see 145 on the scale!!…

So Lucas has been fighting bedtime like no other lately, 2 nights ago I got fed up and took him for a long walk, he came home and went to sleep in under 15 minutes! So I tried again last night - less than 15 minutes again! So I'm loving that his hatred of sleep is getting my butt out for another hour walk after the…

That's me, the blonde, at my heaviest 195. Me recently at about 148 lbs.

Bob. I love love love love my Bob. My son is 2.5 and still loves going for runs in it. I've gone for a few runs with a friends double Bob and it handles almost the same as a single Bob.

I can say, I was incredibly against the idea of a C-section. I wanted an all natural (med free birth) mainly because I am PETRIFIED of getting IVs. However when I was nearing the end of my pregnancy they found out my son was growth restricted and decided to induce me (IV - eek!) I tried and tried to have a natural birth…

I've been thinking the same thing, I carry my 2 yr old (25 lbs) on my back in the Ergo for usually a 1-2 hour walk each day. I usually just input the walk as normal walk and choose my speed, but I KNOW I'm burning additional calories!

Mine are in this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/325358-almost-50-lbs-down-with-pics But you can get a fairly good idea from my profile pic!

Here's my workouts for today: 75 minutes of walking 3.5mph (with Lucas in the carrier on my back, we walked to the park for him to play) - 504 calories 60 minutes of walking 3.0 (took the shorter route home. Also with a sleeping Lucas on my back!) - 241 calories 35 minutes of Zumba - 265 calories I also did my hip flexors.…

My BMI is 26.3 which means I'm overweight. I'm 5'3 and 148 lbs. I wear anywhere between an 8 and a 10, and Medium in shirts.

Ohhh I couldn't agree more. I need to see a BIG loss this week and this challenge just may do that!

Wow sounds like lots to keep us motivated this week. Thank goodness because my birthday is only 8 days away and I don't think I'm gonna make my mini goal, I've gotta try REALLY hard to get a 4 lb. loss!

So I was feeling a little down about myself today so I posted a thread showing my weight loss, thought I'd share it with you guys so you can see my weight loss journey in progress. I'm feeling a little bit better about it all…
