Are you kidding!? When I get in between my sheets and put my head on my pillow I sigh and say "This is my favorite time of day"

Exercise, no problem. Eat less/better, no problem. Drinking beer=problem. I have a really hard time saying no to beer and I'm either an all or nothing drinker. If I have one, it leads to another and another and another...I can't just have one, so instead I try not to drink at all. I'm still struggling with it, but getting…

My favorite one, as of yesterday, was the "Can I really eat a hamburger" thread. Quite entertaining.

Just about any home video would be good. You just gotta make sure you're giving your all and not half @$$ing it.

Losing weight hasn't impacted my marriage at all, really. I'm going to categorize myself as "fluffy" when we met. I lost weight after he proposed because I knew there was a wedding in my immediate future. Did pretty good with my weight until the 1st kid came along. Lost 30lbs after that. Gained some back, got pregnant with…

A pretty new dress for my best friend's wedding and a pretty new dress for my big brother's wedding. Maybe a belly button piercing? Depends on how my stomach looks...and I'm married, 30 and have two kids...maybe not.

Just eat a calorie deficit and exercise. I've been on pill, the patch and now have a IUD and none of those caused me to gain weight.

I made calorie counting my new favorite hobby...I LIKE THAT MIND SET! I'm gonna try it!

Is calorie counting realistic long term...I suppose that depends on who you ask. I feel like the whole point of calorie counting (besides to lose weight) is to educate yourself about what you're eating, how much you're eating, and how to make better choices. Once you've gotten in to that habit, calorie counting may not be…

Patience young grasshopper.

Don't remember who posted this, but they said they flipped off their 6 year old behind her back when she is being bratty. I finally got an opportunity to use this technique on my 4.5 year old this weekend...he told me "just be patient mom" so I flipped him off when he turned his back. It felt great! P.S. I really do love…

If you didn't "eat back" your exercise calories, I would imagine the weight would come off quicker. I try not to eat exercise calories back, that way if I do miscalculate my caloric intake I'll have a little error buffer.

You should join the March 2015 Weight Loss Challenge on this message board. It's a fun way to keep you accountable.

I don't know what the hell I just did.

I don't like to start my own threads because I'm afraid people are going to attack me. I get my feelings easily hurt from random strangers on the internet.

I totally am. I broke the rules of the thread. Shame on me :| It won't happen again. I'll adopt Ceci_O_K's method of secretly judging (you know we all do it)

So let me get this right, if you plateau you should just quit? I'll pass on that little pearl of wisdom.

I don't understand people who wait until midnight to eat so they can log it the next day. Why are you still up at midnight!? Don't you have work the next day? If you went to bed at a normal time, you wouldn't be eating at night.

Ha! Yep. My thoughts exactly.

I have a pretty good walk that I do on my lunch break. It's down the road a ways, up a super steep hill, down the other side and back around. It's fairly difficult, but I know a few people from my office do that route every now and then. I thought I was all alone, huffing and puffing up the hill and I was a bit gassy so I…

My plan: Eat what I want. Just in smaller portions. Stay under calorie goal for the day.

Agreed. Start weighing your food. Here's a good example: 1 serving on a Cheerio box say 1 cup(48g), but if you actually weigh 1 cup of cheerios it's actually like 58-60 grams. If you're doing this with even denser foods, like peanut butter then you could be consuming WAY more calories than you think you are. Also, if…

What kind of fitbit? I just got a One about a two weeks ago. It's pretty cool.

uh... I can already see the comments coming. I'm gonna go grab my popcorn.

How do you drink your water? Chugging it? Because that will definately make you feel ill. However, if you take sips all day long you should be fine. I have a 32oz Nalgene water bottle at my desk and I take drinks out of it all day long. By the time it's time for me to go home for the day I've consumed at least 96oz of…

They make these silicone inserts you can stick in your bra that make you look like you've gone up an extra cup size. I only know because my co-worker has misquito bites for boobs and she bought some and was super excited about them.

Extra good for you! My husband was a smoker until I got pregnant with our first child. He quit as soon as he found out. He said he didn't want to set that kind of example for his kids. To this day (4.5 years later) he hasn't smoked. I was/am so proud of him.

Yeah, maybe if you rubbed it all over your hooha first! Jeezus!
