Homemade Cookies... of any variety.

Stop the self-loathing first... you are a person and you are worth so much more. You are a mother, meaning they care about you and need you to be confident and healthy. Start by logging your foods, truthfully look at what you are putting in your body. Then figure out what is "worth it" to you and what isn't. My coffee and…

This. Everyone should take care of themselves, and having goals is admirable.
-
I get this... I have been that irrationally angry... but I'm the type to just shut down and not say anything because I don't want to say something I can't take back.
-
Not sure what I'm supposed to take from this...
-
^^^^^^^ THIS.... always.... ^^^^^^^^ this... never... If I want attention I'll ask for it. I know not all women are so direct but after 9 years with an oblivious man I have learned to say exact what I need. (except in the bedroom, that one is just too sensitive!)
-
I say this.... but mine is Sweet and Creamy! lol I allow myself 2 cups of coffee with cream and sugar... its my indulgence first thing in the morning, when everyone else is still asleep I can have my moment. That said my coffee is about 100calories for both cups... not to bad so far. When I get closer to goal I might have…

You will certainly learn as you go... and I assume you mean Shakes :) not snakes. I'd say go to a website to calculate your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) then subtract calories from that... Ex: my TDEE is 2800 IF I walk 10,000 steps a day and have 30 minutes of activity... so I can subtract 1000 calories from that…

I always call my mom MOTHER when I'm upset at something she's said too LOL when she hears the eyes rolling and the "yes, mother" she just stops now-a-days

"You're pregnant?? Oh well now you are eating for two, have an extra plate!" "You know they say counting calories is the WORST way to lose weight." My BF, even though I love him very much... as never once in his life had to ever think about the amount he eats let alone losing weight. After a year of counting calories and…

My BF has never said he likes me heavier but all of the women that I know of that he's dated have been bigger... But he is very supportive of me losing weight, even comes to the gym with me and has encouraged me several times saying he can see my progress and the change in my mood. Motivation... this comes from within,…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Would so like this post if I could....

Agreed... Earbuds always fall out of my ears during cardio at the gym or running outside. My BF has some beats and I've used them, like others have said they do get sweaty though.
-
I log after I've eaten... Weekdays are mostly the same for breakfast and lunch anyhow... I log after I've eaten because I have a fitbit, and it will show me if I'm "in the zone" as the days goes on.
-
OP, I want to say I'm sorry for the hurt you feel... but I think its part of the process. Also... the opinions given of your son are just that... opinions, everyone has one and sometimes they should keep it to themselves. My son will be 4 in two weeks, he's never said a thing about my weight... his father is very skinny…
-
Mine is hazelnut.... I have considered trying the flavored coffee and just using milk... but its been working so far just logging it and allowing myself that morning bliss... without my Coffee and creamer I'd probably have quit trying by now.
-
This is where I started... I didn't change anything at all besides actually measuring the amount that I was eating... which is eye opening in itself. Then I looked at the content of what I ate... how much fat was in the food and or carbs... and the amount of protein. Took me a month to figure out what to eat that would…
-
Daily... I like to see the fluctuations and try to understand what certain foods do to my body. I tend to hold a lot of water weight if I eat something high in carbs or sodium but I also know that if I go back to eating those low carb, high protein, high fiber foods then I can drop that weight quickly.
-
I've drank 2% all my life... anything else just doesn't taste right. When I was pregnant with my first child I drank probably a gallon and a half a week (definitely too much) and I really think that is the reason my son was able to hold his head up so early and walked at 8 months... With my second child I still am drinking…
-
Sadly my Doctor never actually diagnosed me... just told me that if it was PCOS he would treat it with Metformin... Didn't see the doctor for 3 months, worked out like crazy and ate at a calorie deficit... lost about 45lbs and became pregnant... Didn't know I was pregnant until 12 weeks along (had lost 66lbs by that point)…
-
Agreed... won't mean anything to me if there are no strings... BUUUTTT if there could be strings.... a young Ben Affleck (dark hair and eyes, tall... sexy) Matt Damon (just sexy) Tom Brady :) (freaking awesome at my favorite sport and he's actually a good dad which makes him uber sexy)) And Wolverine (scary sexy) Thor…

Trail Mix, Oatmeal... Loaf of Delightful 90 calorie bread, peanut butter and honey for toast. We have a large Refrigerator in the break room so I keep a bag with some protein shakes, Greek yogurt cups, deli turkey, string cheese...

On Friday I will be 37 weeks along :) So ready for this boy to get here!! 2nd pregnancy has been way harder than the first! I've gained about 22lbs back from my 66 lost but I feel pretty good about it at this point... but I didn't up until maybe a month ago. I still tell myself that I can't lose my head in these last…

Do you plan to buy them?? Please don't make us pay for it.... totally don't want to do that...

NO amount of money will "end" any of these things... but it is true you could make a positive difference in many lives. I'd buy my parents a new home or build on to their existing one if that was their wish, I'd set a huge amount aside for my children. I'd do any and all repairs and or upgrades to my own home. Buy useful…

Wish I could "like" this post :) I figure if you are here, then you are trying... and I am not the judge or jury member so more power to you!

Up until my 3rd trimester I was at 30% protein, 20% fat and 50% carbs.... these last 2 months though I've let the fat % be higher due to knowing the baby is growing fat under his skin... so I allow more for that...

Gained 22lbs so far, due date is February 5th! The bulk of those 22lbs has been in the last 2 months... I was at like 12lbs gained before Thanksgiving... but ya know...
