Slow and steady wins the race :)
I have battled weight issues my entire life. I successfully lost 65 lbs 4 years ago, and then got pregnant with my caboose... I lost weight after delivery, but then gained 30 lbs back and have kept it on for the past 2.5 years. It wasn't until I signed up for a gym membership on June 30th that things started slowly coming…

4 month progress :)
I can finally post on here! :smile: I was doing so good, then hit a series of mishaps and ended up gaining back 20 lbs off of a 50 lb loss after the birth of my 5th child in May 2012. I have been struggling for almost 2 years now with that gain and subsequent plateau, and I have FINALLY overcome it! I'm FINALLY down 10 lbs…

Lower BMP on HRM = Higher calorie burn?
Hey MFP I noticed something today while I was on the Arc Trainer at the gym. I always wear a HRM with a chest strap that syncs with the machine so I can see what my BPM is without having to constantly look at my watch. I typically average 155-163 BPM when I'm on the Arc Trainer and break a decent sweat (I usually go 45…

Long awaited NSV!!!
I've been struggling with a 10 # weight gain and subsequent plateau for 7 months now. I think I've finally found my rhythm. But that's not my NSV... I've had a pair of Zumba pants that I bought back in February that have always felt really tight around my thighs and had a habit of rolling down my belly when I exercised. I…

30 day shred results - second round (Mom of 5)
Decided to try my hand once again at Jillian Michael's 30 day shred from January 2nd through February 1st. I dropped 7 lbs and 3.5 inches in my waist and hips. :noway: First round I only managed to drop 4 lbs and only like 2 inches in my waist. I like the results from this round much, much, much better :love:

Plateau help
Okay, so I was really rocking and rolling until about March/April. I hit a 10 # weight gain and a plateau ta boot! :noway: Here it is August and I'm still struggling with that stupid weight gain/plateau and I cannot budge past it :sad: I'm open to suggestions on how to blow past it. Right now I'm averaging about 1700…

Proud NSV moment!
HUGE NSV!!!! I've been doing the 30 day shred for 15 days. I've noticed the crunches and ab work this time around has been more intense, definitely feeling it! Today I did level 3... Haven't had the guts to do this level in almost a year. Totally forgot how hard this level was. Also forgot about all the crap she makes you…

Who's up for an 8 week challenge?
I've not been very good at logging much and have been a bit discourage, but I'm ready for a change. I'm proposing an 8 week challenge where by you (and me) have to log faithfully every day everything that goes in and exercises that you do. Who wants to support me and have me do the same to you? Starts tomorrow!

SIZE 14!!!!!!!!!!!
Today is my 18th Wedding Anniversary :o ) I have not been a size 14 since my hubby and I started dating almost 20 years ago! My goal was to be in a size 14 by my birthday in September. I have had this jean skirt in my closet since November as motivation to lose this weight. The last time I tried it on was in January and I…

58 lbs down :) I owe most of it to Zumba!
I want to share this with you guys because my daughter says that I am awesome! :heart: To give you backstory... In March 2011, I was photographed at a Realtor function in town. I thought I was SO amazing!!!! :drinker: I saw the picture posted a few days later on a Facebook page and I cried for 3 days straight :sad: I…

NSV - 2nd smallest towel fits around me!
When I took my shower this morning and grabbed a towel from the cabinet all that was left to chose from (laundry day) was a super small kiddie towel and a hotel towel (don't judge me!) that has always fit around my chest but never hides my tummy and nether regions... When I finished drying off, I wrapped the towel around…

The most awesome NSV I've ever experienced!!!!
I am the only female in my entire company (we're a small start up company). Yesterday the owner sent out a mass email asking people to update a spread sheet with their shirt sizes so we can order more company shirts. When I logged in to fill mine out, someone had already put mine in. Prepared for it to show an XL I was…

53 lbs down today! 30DS & Zumba!
Once upon a time, there was a mother of 4 who didn't realize how badly she let things get :( It wasn't until March 2011 that she was photographed at a Realtor function that she discovered how bad things had become... She quickly got out of the haze she was in and joined a gym. She did really good and dropped 45 lbs from…

Awesome NSV from my own son!
So, I was doing my new addiction; Zumba Core on the Wii. When I finished and took the belt off my shirt was soaked and the butt part of my pants were soaked too. My almost 10 year old came in and was pleasantly surprised at how sweaty I was. When I turned around he said wow Mom, your face looks different. I replied that it…

What would you do?
So, I've got 2 companies that want to hire me. One would be a part time admin job. M-F 9-1. Easy peasy no brainer job. I would be able to still be a Realtor in the afternoons and weekends and it's like 20-25 min from my boys school. The other company has decided they want me in sales; also part time but M, W, F from 8-2.…
