Introductions? :)
Should we do introductions? I'll start... I am Kelly, I'm 27 years old. I have been married for 8 years to my wonderful husband, Brandon, and we have two daughters. We are both full time students (he was a Marine for 9 years and got out in 2010) :) . I have one semester to go until I earn my AA in Social Science, then…

Life changes and NO motivation... give me some good words!
So between reaching my goal weight/size and feeling like I don't need to pay as much attention to what I eat (yes, I know - I DO!), starting a new job (I've been a stay-at-home-mom and a college student, haven't worked since 2007), husband starting a new college semester, and having a rotten cold and cough of doom I have…

90 Pounds gone, 6 sizes gone, new take on life GAINED :).
****a couple of pictures are in my underwear, just so you're forewarned. I'm Kelly, I'm 28 years old, a mother of two (8 year old and 4 year old) and I have been married for nine years. :) I started this journey weighing 230 pounds and now I weigh 140 pounds. I've accepted that I'm "done" losing weight - but now, I'm…

Shirts??
I am pretty good in the jeans department but.... I don't know how to shop for shirts! I don't have a clue as to what is flattering to the apple figure. I'm tired of wearing plain Ts. If anyone has any ideas... PLEASE share! I have a pretty small bust now (well, a 38B - thank you weight loss, I've lost 2 cup sizes in a…

Weights/strength training/whatever you want to call it
I was skeptical of weight lifting/strength training up until recently. I mean, I would do it - light stuff, enough to build some muscle up and be able to see it. It started getting colder where I live and running outside has gotten far more difficult with that (I have never lived anywhere this "cold" - which I know, is…

Livermore Grape Stomp 5k?
Curious to see if any fellow MFP-ers are going to this! My husband, his mom, and I, are going. It's only my 2nd 5k so I'm kind of excited, hehe. :)

A one day, B the next time?
I'm a little confused. I did two A workouts (stage 1, just started this past week) and then looked at the book and realized there is a B, too. I see I should not do these both in the same day, so that's fine. Do I do A - B - A - B? Or is A strictly for the first part of stage 1 and then B the second part of stage 1?

Confused about something in New Rules of Lifting for Women!
Ok, I am not understanding which workouts I am supposed to do. I see there's a bunch of workouts, but the book doesn't state specifically which workouts to do, when to do them, in which order - or is it you pick and choose what you want to do?! aggghh. If anyone has a sample "plan" of the first week, I could probably…

The Mommy Belly
Ok moms! And/or people who have had troubles with belly fat... I have two kids. One is almost 8, the other just turned 4. I let my body go pretty badly between the two and after my 4 year old was born. I have worked very hard to get in shape and be healthy again. I've lost 77 pounds, and numerous inches (I didn't start…

Women ?? about cycles and running?
I have been exercising since November now. I decided to venture out past the treadmill and elliptical and start hitting the pavement instead. I have been running every other day for a week. Prior to this week I'd go for a run outside once a week or so. My period decided to grace me with its presence an entire week early...…

Repairing your "core" after 2 kids??
So I'm doing great losing weight but man, my midsection is STUBBORN! I don't expect, in any way, to lose belly fat in an easy way, nor to tone up in an easy way. I'm at a loss as to what to do to "fix" the damage! It is certainly better than it used to be - I can sit up now without pushing myself up on my arms! However,…

Confused about Calories?!
I am a bit confused about calories and calorie intake! (Also, hello, I've been a MFP member for nearly a year!) I've lost 45 pounds in the past 11 months with a lifestyle change - I went from being sedentary (very) and eating fast food a lot, and processed foods at home; to being very active (I try to get to the gym or…
