83 lbs down, 20 to go & experiencing a 6 month plateau.
I posted pictures when I hit 50 lbs lost. I was arrogant and thought that I would shed this weight with no real road blocks. Then came July 2012. My work ethic and eating have not changed, but my weight loss has significantly slowed down, er...uh, stopped. Completely. During these past 6 months, I've learned that the…

Calling all parents of sedentary kids!
I need some help. My son, Spencer, is 7 years old. I've always been concerned that he'll grow up to have the body and metabolism of his mother. His father is 6'7" and has NEVER had a weight problem. I, on the other hand, am 5'7" and have always been chubby or outright overweight/obese. I am finally at a healthy weight, but…

Anyone doing The Color Run in Oct?
Hi! Just found this group through the main message board. I grew up in Cincinnati but live just across the river in Edgewood now. Anyone running The Color Run in Oct?

325 days in and I need some motivation!
Today is my 325th MFP day! I'm in the midst of a 2 month "slump" and in need of some new especially encouraging/motivating friends. Most of my MFP friends have been with me since the very beginning, but I've noticed a lot of them have begun dropping off or are no longer diligent about making such a big change in their…

70 in 7! The moment it all clicked.
I've officially lost 70 lbs in 7 months. I am posting these pictures for anyone out there who has lost motivation or hope. When I joined this site I was diabetic, morbidly obese, and hating myself. I had very little expectations but knew it was time to make a change. 1 lb turned into 2, turned into 5, turned into double…

Cincinnati and NKY people!
Any of you local people taking part in the mudathon this year?! Building a team maybe? I want to do this so bad but none of my friends are biting at the opportunity. The Tough Mudder is actually coming to the area this year as well but I am not there yet, not by a long shot. http://www.mudathlon.com/

Post weight loss nip/tuck?
Is there anyone out there seriously considering a post weight loss nip/tuck of some type? Loose skin? Implants? Whatever? I've got another 40 or so lbs to lose before I go into maintenance mode. I've never experienced womanhood "thin," and have shrunk in EVERY place. I am one of those pear shaped women who had an already…

Best family vacation spots...?
Every year I am in charge of planning our family vacation. Last year we went to Sandestin and really enjoyed it, but I like to try new things. Anyone have any great family beach vacation recommendations? Hotels/resorts they really love? NO DISNEY. My only pre-reqs are white sand and a spot on the beach. My husband and son…

What do you listen to during your workouts?
I usually listen to various Pandora channels to keep my going during me workouts. A lot of songs have been replaying lately and it gets on my nerves. Time to break out some iTunes. What songs get your adrenaline pumping for a good workout?
