Slow and Steady - I've got this!
I have popped on the Success threads so much over the last year, and I have always been hesitant to post anything until today. I bought a couple new dresses for some weddings this upcoming summer in a size 8 and was pleasantly surprised when they ACTUALLY fit :smile: Then I came across a picture of me about a month into my…

The dreaded post-pregancy pooch... moms, you know what I'm talking about - how'd you lose it?
As I get closer to the goal weight/look I'd like to achieve (I have 20 more lbs or so to go), I'd love to know what those of you who have had kids have done to lose weight or tone this stubborn area.

Want to get back to an 8... now to motivate!
I was once an 8. 3 years ago as a matter of fact. 5.8 lbs from my goal. I was THAT close! I started a new job. That job had a less consistent schedule than the one I had previously. My workouts trickled from 5 days a week, to 3, to 1. And the weight crept back on...slowly at first. But after a year, I had gained back much…
