Gonna slide into 50 as a fit, fabulous mama!
Hello!! I'm not new to MFP. I lost 40 lbs on here about 6 years ago. I was chunky as soon as I started college, and I was diagnosed with PCOS after a few years of trying to get pregnant. After nearly beginning the adoption process, surprise baby#1 showed up on the pee stick. Eight months after he was born, surprise baby #2…

2 year comparison pics, even with backsliding...
I've posted pics like this before to remind myself that I have come a LONG way, and I'm in serious need of that reminder today, so please bear with me. :) My 20th high school reunion was just a couple of years ago. I had lost just a few pounds, and my favorite (and lifelong) girlfriends and I decided to wear little black…

Stay with the fight, even if the scale doesn't move...Pic
Okay, so I sneak out here periodically to post a few before/after pics of myself to remind ME of how far I've come. I've been stuck at this weight now for about 6 months. I know I have more to drop, but I have yet to figure out the magic formula. So I'm concentrating on the OTHER changes I'm making. I AM stronger. I AM…

Out of the mouths of babes...
My sister was showing my 5 year old son some pictures from our college years 15 years ago. My sweet boy says, "Look at how fat mommy's legs are!" So I look at the picture, and sure enough I was sitting cross-legged on the grass with my pup (who just turned 15 last month), and my thighs were VERY prominent in the pic and…

New comparison pics...to motivate myself
So I've posted my story a couple of times before, but I've been stalled out for the past six months and was getting quite discouraged. I'm already making changes (starting up some meds again-I have PCOS), new workouts, TDEE calculations, etc. I'm still loving working out, but I've slacked off on my tracking, because the…

Plateau, but I aint stopping...one year progress pics
I've been pretty serious about this fitness journey since January, and I've been a little down at my lack of progress the past 8 weeks. So when pictures from my department's annual golf outing were released, I decided to compare them to LAST year's outing pics...just for the hell of it! While I was a bit embarrassed that…

Hunger pains?
Beginning of the year I started this nutrition/exercise journey. As soon as I actually started to see results, I realized that the rumbling tummy I used to associate with hunger had been replaced with actual pain in the stomach. Like a sharp discomfort that makes me squirm about to try to get it to go away. Has anyone else…

20 lbs down with PCOS (and pics)
My first success story post! Woot! I have fought weight issues (and infertility) for years. After two sons that I never thought I would have, I got serious about the weight loss. My ob/gyn actually told me that no matter what I did, I was going to be fat because of my hormones. So I set out to prove him wrong. 10 week body…
