Hi there! I'm working towards awesome-ness . I have 2 daughters, 13 months and 5yrs old. I'm also trying to lose baby weight (for 5 yrs now!!) I love chocolate, pasta, bread, sweet tea.....
I've been on MFP since January and I'm down 10 lbs but I have about 60 more I'd love to lose.
Feel free to add me!

I find sugar free gum helps with my cravings for sugar. it at least gives my gob something to do whilst talking myself out of eating more.0

OK!!
:laugh:
I am still working on baby weight and my youngest is almost 6.0 -
I'm an awesome friend, so send me a request if you like I am pretty consistent on here and an encourager.0

it is hard to lose the baby fat, BUT if you do not move it,,, YOU WILL NOT LOSE IT!, so get yourself motivated, and YOU GO!@, YOU CAN DO IT!0

My least favourite word is awesome. Rather than a swear box at work, I have an "awesome" box. I am officially not awesome :smokin:0

I like to think I'm a little awesome! I don't have any baby weight, because I've not yet had a baby. But I'm slimming down to get in good enough shape to start trying for one (and hopefully not have such a hard journey shifting the baby weight once baby has been born)
Feel free to add me though, could do with more motivational friends myself as well!0 -
I the topic name, therefore we must be friends. :laugh: Request sent!0

I love chocolate! I've been trying to work on that, but sometimes it just doesn't work! :P I'd love to be friends!0

I'm working on loosing the exact same amount of weight, from 170, but I think I would be happy at 145. I am 5'6". I am studying for the biggest exam of my career, but I am trying to make smart eating choices while doing this. So, my weight loss will be slow until after the exam (june). I find this site has stopped my mindless eating. I adore chocolate, but now I find I only miss it at that time of the month. I would love a friend as I've only been on this site for 2 weeks.0

My biggest issue is eating. I LOVE eating. I call myself a garbage disposal because I will pretty much eat anything that passes me by. I am looking to change this. I have a serious addiction to sweets, mainly chocolate, but anything with sugar I'm a sucker for. No pun intended. ;-) I also adore chips, cheese & crackers, bread... If it's high in carbs, sugar, or fat, I love it. Do any of you ladies have any special tricks for getting through the first week? Once I get started (past 7 days or so) I stop craving the junky stuff, but it's those first few days that KILL me! I'm so irritable and my poor husband gets the brunt of my mood swings. Any feedback would be fantastic! You are ALL awesome!!!
The only thing I can do (I'm the same as you--I enjoy me some food!) is just not buy it. And yell at my husband when he brings home two bags of Harvest Cheddar Sunchips for me ("But they're your favourite!" "Yes, that's why I can eat a bag in one sitting!"). If it's not in my house, I can't eat it. That's about all the advice I can give someone--fill up your cart with fruits and veggies, use lots of delicious spices when you cook, and don't buy the crap. Because invariably the crap gets bought and the crap gets eaten.
My little thing I love now is buying the super dark (70-80%) chocolate and eating a little bit every day when the craving for crazy sweet hits. It seems like if I eat something really sugary, I just want more sugar. But something with a lot of rich flavour and low in sugar just hits the spot, and I feel like the craving is satiated.
Good luck, and feel free to add me!0 -
This weight loss is a daily journey. I'm here for ya friend.0

I sent you a friend request. As far as tips go, I don't cut out anything that I enjoy, except I've not been drinking soda at all. That wasn't even a super conscious decision... it was more that I wanted those calories for other things. As far as the chocolate... you can do a Cadbury cream egg for 150 calories, or the mini cream eggs for 40 calories a piece. Also, there are the Betty Crocker Warm Delight Mini Molten Chocolate Cake or Molten Caramel Cakes. Those are 150 calories each. You can also do a small bit of dark chocolate. I recently found 100 calorie packs of "Brownie Bites" and those are pretty good... there's not much in the bag, but it helps with the chocolate craving. Oh, another thing is the hot chocolate packets with little marshmallows... I think it's Nestle. 80 calories for one packet. Hope those things help some. I find it easiest to stick with my plan when I'm not cutting out my favorite things, just making adjustments. )0
