Hey ladies, I'm not new to the boards but its been a long time. Im in the 30s now! when I joined I was probably about 27. I struggle with infertility and I had to have a surgery a few years ago and ended up losing so much weight and now its back. I keep getting stuck between 200-205. Im 31, 5'8 and I need to get it together. Im not a fan of the scale but I'll get used to it in order to track my progress..I have no idea where to start in terms of workout. I want to weight train as well but im so lost. What do you ladies do??
Hey, I feel ya Janel83 ( was born in 83 as well). Im currently 235 and I have a 5 yr old son and he is soo loney. do not want him to suffer with the only child syndrome. Girl, my OBGYN was like youre not getting preg because you may have PCOS, and you are dancing around being diabetic and I have high prolactin levels... Honey I need help and I joined because I NEED support. My hubby is built and 6'1 and muscles and all, but he is no female I need a woman to woman to help me mentally with this stuff we go through. Its like after I had my son, I never lost the dame weight. my goal is 150-160. But 230 My gawd. I need to do somethign fast, quick and in a hurry.

Hey all. I have been hanging out in onederland but in the 190s still. I am kind of battling depression because of my failed long term relationship (only thing left to do is move out) plus I'm taking care of 3 kids two small and one gifted but troubled teenager pretty much as a single mother and I am lonely.its easy to turn to chocolate for solace. I edited this because I shouldn't speak out of anger. Anyways I'm happy to have one foot in onederland!
I have lost weight twice and was within 5lbs of my goal. I kept it off for at least a year and half both time before gaining it all back. I'm hoping third times the charm! My biggest problem area seems to be stress/emotional eating. Does anyone else have this problem? Have you been able to fix the issue and how?
This is deffo my problem and I am just now trying saffron before I up my exercise routine plan on walking 2 miles everyday. I have good days and bad days emotionally. I always have stress or sadness but some days I deal better. I feel your pain though.
I'm new in this section, 37 and now down to 207.9 lb (was 220 back in May). I'm making a career change and the new job requires physical fitness, mobility and slenderness.
I'm new to 3fcd and new to this medium of support. I'm hoping this will be a positive step on my way to reaching and maintaining my fitness goals. And make a few friends along the way.
A little about me: I'm 37 and am hovering around 203#. I haven't been this heavy in almost eight years. I have three kids, all teenagers. You would think that not working and having kids in school all day would motivate me to get to the gym. It did not...until now.
At my heaviest, I weighed just over 250#. At my most fit, I weighed close to 140#. I have been everything in between but never this close to that 250# again.
I'm working out, changed my eating habits, portion control, and trying to find support. I'm currently doing the Shaun T. Focus T25. I tried Insanity and found it too difficult for me to just dive into. Focus T25 is nice because they offer modifications in the video and man am I still sweating. I'm also supplementing with a 20-30 min light workout at the gym with my husband or kids.
Where I need help is staying motivated to keep getting up at 6 AM. To keep pushing myself.
I'm in the 290s and have been since jan, sometimes slip back to the 300's but I wasn't "dieting". After a few days of feeling off, I went to the doc and I'm diabetic. I was always dancing around pre-diabetic and never taking responsibility for it. After the scare of being in the 500 range, I am changing, not because I want to but because I need to, or I'm just killing myself. Today is my day one, that I am focusing mostly on what goes into my mouth. I'm using myfitnesspal to track my food. in a couple of weeks I will start to add in exercise but I need to keep my focus on food right now. I am an emotional eater.
Hey everyone! Im at 229.9 as of this morning and my goal is to lose 80 pounds before I start trying for baby #2! I would like to lose the weight by August....so I have about 9 months to go! I think I can do it
Was wondering if anyone else has MFP? If so, add me! I need all the support I can get!
Hey Size10inayear I'm on MFP my name is Blackhawksgrl25 I think you can do this. We are pretty close in current weight and in goal weight. We got this. I'm wanting to lose 20-30 lbs by April, and then the rest by Septemeber. Family weddings.
I use to weigh 250 (which is my ultimate heaviest) just a couple weeks ago but I've been doing strength training and eating really healthy and I've lost down to 240. It's a lifestyle change. On top of everything else I am trying to manage stress since it really is my undoing I think. Oh and I'm 5 9.5' tall.
I am going through a divorce and he makes it really hard. I'm keeping my head up and trying to rise above it all. I think I am the cautionary tale of always having your own income regardless.
Anyhow, I am making progress and I find that I feel a lot better as I go along

Today I weighed in at 206.8;bs. The numbers didn't bother me as I used to spiral into a sad state whenever the scale read numbers I didn't want to see. I can do something about the weight I'm committing to a new fitness routine and I'm happy about that. I've been bored out of my mind with P90.
