Im down almost 15 lbs, lower than what I weighed at 12 weeks pregnant. I had to take of my wedding rings at 24 weeks, in November 2011.</p> <p>They almost fit again! AH!

You are killing it.</p> <p>I got my first comment today. A friend in the hospital said, "What are you doing, you look fabulous?"</p> <p>Hooray. It took 8 lbs but it's finally making a difference to what others can see. Let's keep rocking it team!</p> <p>@Espion: Slow and steady. My goal is very modest right now. Too much and I was afraid I'd de-motivate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-988286 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:07:42 +0000 Espion 988286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: That's awesome. I imagine I would be more like Bridget Jones sliding down the fire pole. Ha!</p> <p>Since I'm so paranoid about backtracking my supply, I'm aiming to get enough calories to maintain my weight (even though it is overweight for me) and exercising about every other day. I'm so out of shape!! We hiked a small ski hill yesterday and I started getting lightheaded near the top! My main goal is to get back to where running 5 - 7 miles was nothing. I'm definitely gonna hurt getting there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-988275 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 11:56:01 +0000 HLK208 988275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: stick around :) you're doing awesome on MFP!</p> <p>Down 15 lbs now...(I never recorded my highest weight on MFP - I was in denial). I'm running faster and yoga is getting easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-988259 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 11:34:42 +0000 Boheme 988259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm doing a few things from a YouTube playlist I made! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-988256 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 11:33:32 +0000 Boheme 988256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: That is awesome!

Im meeting up with some friends, but I don't know how much running either of them will do.</p> <p>We've been busy all week and I've been feeling a little fatigued and stressed out, so not much exercising has been done this week. I'm down .2lbs, so I'm only .6lbs away from my first major SV! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-988244 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 11:18:54 +0000 blackbird 988244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anybody else work out today?</p> <p>E was not impressed by Shaun T lol </p> [attach=618/13/mr0lbj.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-981884 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:55:48 +0000 loveisstrange 981884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I felt similarly about the other thread, being the largest one there at the time I posted. It made me a little uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-981873 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:53:01 +0000 blackbird 981873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just do whatever will make you stay in the best state of mind! It's so easy to compare; we've all done it. "Put it in your mind-vice and crush it" :) (30-rock anyone?)</p> <p>It really is about being healthy and taking care of yourself. Which we all know can definitely go to the wayside with kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-981831 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:39:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 981831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: so when I see people who are my same height and have a starting weight that is similar to my goal weight or when I see pictures or goals that make me feel nervous or uneasy about myself it makes me re-experience the issues that led to an unhealthy relationship with food.</p> <p>I spent too long in a restrictive place and have no desire to re-visit past challenges. </p> <p>Sadly, the other thread made me want to quit sharing this journey altogether, but I had previously really appreciated what I felt was very non-judgmental healthy support that I experienced on this thread. And to be clear, I'm not saying<br /> that anyone else's experience of the other thread should or might be the same as mine. That's just where I ended up with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-981006 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:28:12 +0000 plantains 981006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: ah cheesecake, the ultimate roadblock!</p> <p>I need to watch out for thin flab too. I am so lazy, time to find a way to work exercise in. Pilates, here I come. If only I could figure out a way to unglue DD from between my legs, it would be much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980889 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:03:18 +0000 MsLipGloss 980889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I agree re skinny fat. To me, it doesn't matter what size you are, not having any tone never looks good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980885 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:02:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 980885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: You mean all the numbers and stats? Yeah, I understand what you mean. It's too easy for me to fixate and fall back into old patterns. Somedays I do okay, but if I catch it on a bad day . . . *jinkies* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980875 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:59:10 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 980875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That is exactly right. The sugar crave builds on itself. Salty too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980697 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:19:23 +0000 blackbird 980697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cheesecake factory is evil. that is all. their raspberry-lemon cream cheesecake is my favorite. </p> <p>Sugar/baked goods/etc are one of those things where, if I avoid them, I don't want them. But as soon as I start having some, i want more and more. So it's usually best if i just pass on them completely </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980584 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:55:47 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 980584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm totally about the wings! </p> <p>And if I'm not careful, I'll be heading for thin-flabby. Someone brought cheesecake factory cheesecake into work yesterday afternoon. Damn it all if I didn't have a piece and then feel like crap. I'm planning to up my protein and lower my sugar in the next few days. Unfortunately, I have an overnight shift tonight, which generally messes everything up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980570 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:52:27 +0000 blackbird 980570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice job everybody!!! It's almost the weekend. I don't know about you guys, but i have two birthday parties this weekend, which means wings, pizza, cake, soda, and junk. Gonna have to pick what's worth it for sure. Because Dominos? Is not. </p> <p>@looch, 2-3x/week is still a LOT. You'll gain a lot of strength with CF. Helps with toting babies around :)</p> <p>@zippylef, BAD ASS!! Get your sexy on, dude! If it makes you feel sexy, that'll be awesome. So important because it's hard to feel sexy as a mom sometimes :)</p> <p>@turtledoves, my body also needs diet AND exercise. I'm one of those people who prides herself on being FIT, not just slender. I don't want to be "skinny fat" and being strong is important to me! When I exercise, what i put into my body is even MORE important because it's fuel. And man, do I feel it when I eat like shit. I don't have the energy to push through. </p> <p>A lot of my goals aren't just tied to my weight, but tied to being able to lift a certain amount, have a certain amount of endurance, and being able to accomplish certain tasks. I know that when I reach those goals, I look and feel a certain way, and that is the MOST important. </p> <p>I will say that now that I added extra cardio sessions on non-crossfit days (blogilates and insanity at home), i can really feel and see it now. One of the girls at the gym was all, "baby? what baby!" lol </p> <p>But if i have to choose, I'll choose cake this weekend, I think :) Or wings. Cake or wings. Hmm....I do like wings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980569 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:51:57 +0000 loveisstrange 980569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: It is. My arms, shoulders and pecs HURT from my class on Tuesday. Holy crap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980565 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:51:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 980565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Well that's fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980512 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:37:05 +0000 loveisstrange 980512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I picked this up today. :) </p> [attach=1353/13/mquwlu.399x600.IMG_3522.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-980507 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:35:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 980507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope this thread doesn't die because the other one is too triggering for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-977081 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 02:34:37 +0000 loveisstrange 977081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did my pole class last night. OMG, im hooked. I came home and immediately started researching one to put in my house. Lol</p> <p>I will say.... my upper body (arms, shoulders, upper back) are SO SORE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-976644 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:49:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 976644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Were you able to do a walk? We did tonight and it was disaster! I definitely got a work out wearing and then chasing M and the dog, but it wasn't that fun or relaxing today :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-challenge/page/3#post-974738 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 08:54:26 +0000 MsLipGloss 974738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I can't wait to go back. It definitely made me feel more confident and sexy . . . the women in my classes were all so supportive and encouraging of one another! </p>
