This is EXACTLY what I need to get back on track!!!! I'm in!! Starting Weight: 191.6 Goal Weight (5%): 182.0 Tuesday 1st: Tuesday 8th: Tuesday 15th: Tuesday 22nd: Tuesday 29th: What can you improve on: Logging my meals

I've been walking around the block pushing my toddler in her stroller. I was also doing 90-120 minutes (depending on her mood) at least 5 times a day and lost 12 pounds in 4 weeks. I've been at a stand still maintaining my weight because I stopped walking for the past few weeks. You have inspired me to get back out there…

Thank you for responding. I will be looking up the things you mentioned that I don't know and try them out when I get my gym membership.

All I can say is WOW!!! I've got 40 more pounds to lose and I would love a body like yours. I look A LOT like your before picture. I don't have a gym membership right now, but I've been walking anywhere from 3-6 miles a few days a week and doing a ballet exercise I found on you tube. I've lost 11 pounds in about 3 weeks…

My husband is so unbelievably supportive of me. I'm 5'7 and 181 currently. My heaviest was 198. When we met I was 118 (dancer's body). He has worked out his whole life and is in such great shape. I tell him all the time that people probably look at us out and about and think "how did they end up together" because he's so…

I'm going to try this!!! Pizza has been a huge craving the past few days. I've heard about the cauliflower crust but never tried it. I've never seen it though until your picture and it looks way better than I imagined in my head!! Thanks for sharing!!

I bought a shirt about a month ago that fit when I tried it on but I had never worn it yet. I decided to wear it today for the first time only to find out that it now swallows me whole. Down side, I'm out $10. Up side, I don't care about the money because I'm seeing progress people!!!

My stomach looks like your before. Mine sticks out past my boobs bc I'm smaller chested. Would love a flat tummy like your after. Anything special you are doing differently than just logging?

Amazing!! Did you start weight training right away or did you lose some weight first with only logging?

"Make ONE healthy choice. Then make ANOTHER." Got to start somewhere.

Update SW: 186 (3/17) CW: 181 (4/5) GW: 156 (7/7)

I came across this quote and it really hits me when I read it. It's just so simple and true (at least for me). "Eating the wrong food is what helped you gain weight. Eating the right food is what will help you lose weight."

I just started a ballet exercise I found on you tube today. I took dancing for 16 years in my youth, but it's been 15 years since I've danced like that. My mini goal is to be able to do the grande battements (high kicks) past my waist again. I used to be able to kick my nose. I'm so far from that right now.

Quote for anyone who can't get motivated (me yesterday)

"Don't give up. One day you'll look back and be glad you didn't."

Wow!!! Amazing!!

Quote time...sorry so late in the day but maybe this one will get us motivated to work out over the weekend!! "You can feel SORE tomorrow, or you can feel SORRY tomorrow!" Mini weekend challenge: Try to do at least 30 minutes of exercise both Saturday and Sunday. Whether it's walking leisurely because it's your rest days…

There you go! You will be so proud of yourself for going afterwards. I know it can be tough with babies. I have a 20 month old who does not like it when I try to workout at home. She stands in my way and tells me to stop. So we have been going for 6 mile walks this week. I push her in her stroller all around the…

This is to forget what the scale is saying and to focus on the NSV's!! "Even if you can't physically see the results in front of you, EVERY SINGLE effort is changing your body from the inside. Never get discouraged!" I know for me, I have way more energy since I've started eating healthier. Also I haven't had a migraine…

For all those struggling with being tired, sore and in pain... "Weight loss is NOT a physical challenge, it's a MENTAL one!!" Only your mind has the will power to push through the struggles of the physical challenges. Keep pushing and we will get there!!

Love ur daily motivational messages! Was about to post one of u didn't ☺️ [/quote] Please feel free to post any inspiration you want! I would love to read what motivates others! That's what this is all about!

Motivational quote time for those battling cravings like myself!! "Don't give up what you want MOST in swap for what you want NOW" Be strong ladies, we can do it!

My daughter's 2nd birthday is July 7th. I want to be a fit mommy by then.

Weight update SW: 186 (3/17) CW: 184 (3/26) We got this ladies!!

Motivational quote time!!! "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out" This is so true. It's a lifestyle change!!!

Yesterday was not my best. I was so sore from the lower body workout I did that I didn't do any walking or exercises. I did try to at least stay mobile by going to the store, some light house cleaning and throwing the football with my son. I try to only do one cheat "meal" each week, not a whole cheat day. So I chose…

I like to weigh daily. I find that keeps me on track better than weekly. I log it on mfp anytime there's a change in my whole number (like 186.8 to 185.9) not if it's just changing from 186.8 to 186.4 for example. Seeing my weight change often helps me stay motivated bc I actually see the numbers changing. I started…

Also I went full term, well I was induced 2 days before my due date but I call that full term. I was induced for high blood pressure, not the diabetes. High blood pressure runs in my family big time and it didn't help me to sit 40 hours a week at my job and the stress of a home remodel. However my baby was perfect at…

I had it with my 2nd pregnancy. My endo had me check my levels when I first woke up, right before each meal and before bed. Depending on my levels before each meal determined if I needed a shot or not and what dosage if I needed one. For breakfast I either ate eggs and bacon with blueberries or strawberries (berries have…

Meatballs and gravy (crockpot meal). Season meat with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Make into about 2 inch meatballs. Place in crockpot. In separate bowl, mix one can of beef broth, one can of cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic, one packet of lipton onion and mushroom soup and little salt and pepper…
