Mom of a 1 year old
Hi. I have a (nearly) 15 month old, and am still struggling with the last 15/20 lbs. I *really** don't want to spend another summer self conscious about being in a swim suit or shorts. Anyone else dealing with this? I'd love some support.

Need support
hi guys, I'm Meg, 30, new mom. I've been (back) on here for about 2 months trying to track and get rid of baby weight. Unfortunately most of my MFP friends aren't that active and I don't feel like I have much support. As silly as it sounds, a "like" or small comment (good job, etc) is quite motivating while dealing with…

Anyone else getting healthy before starting a family?
Hi. My name's Meg and I'm 28. Originally from California, I live in Germany now. I'm an English Teacher.

My little NSV today
Today I met with a personal trainer for a 6 week check-up- to check my goals, works outs, etc. I was meeting a different trainer, since my "usual" (I've worked with her 3 times) trainer is on holiday. We were going over my plan, and the new trainer said "oh you're pretty fit. So I can show you some more machines you…

Exercise Card Game
Ok, I just tried this out for the first time, and it was awesome! A great way to strength train, with a bit of cardio. And it's not boring since you don't know what's coming. Take a deck of cards, and give each suit an exercise type. I chose: Diamands: Burpees or Push-Ups Spades: Chair dips or Squats Hearts: Jumping Jacks…

Five dollars (or euros)
I searched for a similar topic, but didn't find one, so I'm starting a new thread... I apologize now if it's a repeat. At least I tried :) So, everyone is talking about non-food rewards for themselves. I've decided to put away 5 euro every week if I log a loss (well, a .3 kg or more loss). This way I figure I can buy…

you know what I really like ;)
Body: Hey Meg, you know what I really like? Me: What? Baody: That thing we did this morning where we were panting and sweating and screaming out someone's name... Me: You mean the 30 Day Shred? i wasn't screaming Jillian's name. I wasn't cursing her to the seventh circle of Dante's Inferno. Body: Yeah, that. Let's do that…

HRMs and Pedometers???
I'm looking into getting a HRM (I'm trying not to put too much money into this since our budget is always tight, but so far I'm only at 6.99 + S&H for 30 day Shred... and maybe a bit more than usual for our food budget). What kind do you have? What do you recommend- I'd like a good, but not too expensive one. Also, does…

Welcome to the Biggest Loser...
So... is it just me or does anyone else feel like we're all contestants on the biggest loser, but instead of competing we're on the same team? Maybe I'm crazy. I love seeing what excercises you guys are doing, and it motivates me to do mine! That's all. :)
