Does anyone have the same problem. I am at the last 15 pounds and no matter what I do--change up eating, exercise more, exercise less, eat more--all the tricks, I can't seem to get the scale to move.

I hate my scale!
So, I had my second weigh-in this morning and I gained 1/2 a lb! Now, I know this isn't a huge deal or anything, but it pushed me back over 180lbs, and I was SOOO happy to be out of there! I excersized every single day this week and I ate decently too! I'm not going to let it hold me down or anything, but my ego is bruised…

Stomach Shrinking!
My stomach is slowly going down. I always had a big tummy and rolls (as long as I can remember... always a muffin top, even as an older child) and I had 2 VERY LARGE babies (10 & 11 lbs.) to just add to it along with MAJOR stretch marks. But now, it's getting so much smaller! My husband actually keeps asking me if I'm…

I've lost my motivation!
Okay, so I seem to have lost all of my motivation and drive. I feel like crap, haven't been exercising, try to watch what I'm eating but then just eat something awful for me, have gained 3 pounds back, and am miserable.
