New to lifting weights, looking for some guidance :)
Until now the only weights I've used are small (2-5lb.) dumbbells, but I've been reading on the benefits of lifting weights and would like to give it a go! My hubby has a weight bench, which honestly has always seemed intimidating. I have no clue where to start, what exercises would be good for me (I'm 5'2, 175 lbs. if…

Back at it again, and this time for good!
Hey! I'm Michelle, I'm 24 and a stay at home mom. I've always battled with my weight and about 2 years ago I decided to do something about it, I went from 195-140, then gave up and went back to 175 down to 140, and gave up yet again. Here I am at 180 for the last time. I'm sick of the yo-yoing weight and giving up when I…

Before and During Pics
I started my weight loss journey at 195 lbs. The first 30 or so just fell off with minimal changes, this last half though has been a battle. I fell off for awhile and gained some back, so I am back at here on MFP to get rid of that weight and the last bit to my goal weight. Me at 195 lbs. a month before I started trying to…

Any moms in their mid-20s looking to lose 25-45 lbs?
Hi I'm Michelle! I'm a 24 yr old stay at home mom to a 2.5 year old. I've been on this journey (not consistently!) since I had him. I started at 195, got down to 145, back up to 156, back down to 145, and most recently back up to 161. I'm now down to 159, and desperately trying to get down to 130! If anyone is in the same…

Once Again Back At It!
Hey all, I am restarting on MFP. I was doing really good on here, losing lots of weight and inches until my birthday rolled around in September. Since then I've been slacking off and not caring what I ate. Well imagine my shock when I stepped on the scale 2 days ago and was 18 lbs. MORE than I was in September. Up to…

Even the smallest NSV makes the day a whole lot better!
So I was getting dressed this afternoon, getting ready to go to a friend's birthday BBQ, I put on this sweater and thought it would look great with some navy leggings. Well the only navy pair I have, have been sitting in the very back of my drawers since I bought them almost exactly a year ago. I bought them for my…

Almost 50 lbs. down [with pics]
About a year and a half ago I stepped on the scale, and saw 195 lbs. I had always been big, but 195 SHOCKED me to say the least!! So I decided it was time to make a change! There I am (the big blonde) at the highest I've ever been (well a few lbs. off of my highest weight while pregnant) That's a few months in, around 175…
