Run slower. I love running, BUT, the first mile is always a drag. Take it really slow the first mile and work up your speed. After mile 1, it is smooth sailing. My miles are 10.5 to 11 minutes, and I don't worry about heart rate. I AM running, for goodness sake. Of course, if you were to experience palpitations or chest…

I have a competitive sister-in-law also. Even worse, she has always been very skinny. She loves to talk about how everybody loves her butt, in fact! My advice, after asking many friends because she hurt my feelings so many times with MEAN! comments about everything, was to ask her, "that sounds mean, is that how you meant…

I get so annoyed by the (obese) folks who sit there on the ab machines resting forever so nobody else can use them. Hint, hint: CARDIO!!!!!!!!! Notice all the skinny people abbing it out on floor mats?

Do whatever YOU want to do. I went away for a weekend and cheated a lot one day of it. I still lost 3 #, probably because I got up @ 5 am and did an 8 mile run the Friday we left, and watched it closely when i came home. Have fun. If people are really pressuring you to drink, let them know you will do keg stands the next…

I was hungry and lost heart quick, welcoming back pizza, ice cream, and breaks from exercise. I have been eating way more w/ MFP because I have learned to eat exercise and activity calories back. This affords me…

Bring "treats" to share yourself: veggies and dip, hummus and crackers. The healthy snacks will make your coworkers feel good and think highly of you.

I nursed my babes w/o supplement for 10 months and did work out right after I dropped them off at daycare (quick 3 mile run) 3 days a week, my milk supply was WAY lower and less satisfying after working out so I couldn't do it when my babies were depending on me for nutrition within 4-6 hours. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I…

40 pounds is tremendous! You know who notices? Your heart, your knees, your lungs, your feet, all visceral organs! You are on the right track and have treated yourself well! Keep up the great work. Your friends WILL notice, trust me. Maybe they are trying to be polite, pretending they didn't think you needed to lose weight.

The middle and top pic look great. Burn the shorts! I just scoured the web for ways to look skinnier in a suit (fellow fat-bottom girl), and learned more fabric looks like more fat from the experts. You look great, no need for mom shorts. Also they say tankini's add weight and to stick w/ one piece or bikini, but yours…

I am 32 with a 2 and 3 year old, and it is challenging @ any age (; My family will not eat "healthy" food if they know what I am up to. My husband frequently complains of "starving" after grilled chicken breasts, or similar. I stock up on frozen pizzas for him for after the kids go to bed ( and life insurance haha). I…
