Most epic reply.

I will either warm milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract on the oven and then wisk it to froth it and pour into a fresh coffee or blend the hot coffee with butter and cinnamon and vanilla and pour back into a coffee cup. Sometimes I add coconut oil as well. Sounds werid with butter but the flavor is nice and rich and its…

I second the short dvd or YouTube workouts. The trouble I've had is with breast feeding and exercises. I feel like I can't jump or run with all this milk going on. So I'm hoping that gets better. Right now walking while kids scooter or stroller and I'm planning on getting a weight set for garage that I can use for 20-30…

Wait at least a week or two before you know if you've lost weight. Also how tall are you and what do you weigh? My husband was eating 1500 calories and lost a lot of weight in two weeks but then stopped losing until he upped his calories to at least 1900/day. Now he is losing again. Too few calories will mess you up as…

I am also 5'7" and hold weight in my thighs. 130 is the lowest I would go. Can't tell from your sweater but that last 5lbs is prob going to have to come from thighs as you are already thin. Fit is the new skinny I say get your muscle on and be proud of it. If you cant make them smaller make them lean and powerful. Maybe…

WHat are zero calorie noodles!?!?

You could eat a little less each weekday and budget more calories for the weekend if that is what you want

I think about my body without the extra weight. That's my motivation.

Chicken salads, chicken wraps, chicken burritos, chicken stuffed, casseroles, new seasonings, new sauces

There are a few posts on how many pounds it takes to move down a dress size which I think said 20 if you are heavier and less once you get closer to sizes 10-2

Yep! I've lost 7 and still same measurements. But I do feel different in my clothes so maybe its coming off in places I haven't measured like upper thighs or calf.

Yea 1200 would be hard. I have trouble at 1600. But I'm 5'7". Protein usually keeps me full longer. I try to do 300-400 cal meals at regular times. And if I am hungry I just exercise more. You should calculate what you should be getting for your height and weight - IIFYM.com will tell you.

Actually you're probably binging because your calories are too low and not sustainable. Just try 1700 for a week or two and don't binge. You probably won't even want to binge because your body will be getting more each day that it needs

I am also 5'7" and am eating 1600-1700 a day and losing weight. I was 163 a month or two and now 156. If you only eat 1300 all week but then binge on Saturday it evens out to the same as you would just eat 1700 a day but way less stressful. You could even eat 2000 and then workout and burn 2-300 and still lose.

Awesome!! I'm excited too because everyday I wake up and the scale is showing a lower number. So it's really motivating me to keep it up.

It took me about 6 weeks to figure things out. The right calories, exercise and how to log everything. You have to weigh food, it's never what you think it is. Example a medium Apple I thought was 55 was actually 88. So it adds up.

Every morning! I look forward to it. Love watching it go down!

I've finally got my calories right and am losing weight at a good pace! It only took 2 months of practice :/

Yep! Weighed an apple today was 88, normally would have logged a medium size Apple which was only 55.

also with diastasis recti you want to completely avoid some exercises (Google it) but some are ok and can even help

I think your diet sounds fine assuming your salads have some fats like olive oil or avocado. You could add protein powder to ur smoothies. You are 5'4 so I think you'll want more calories. Try IIFYM calculator to see what your protein and calories should be for your stats. Also muscle weighs more than fat so if you were…

After . If you log your exercise it adds those calories into your total for the day as extra calories that you can eat or not.

We have similar stats I'm 5'7" and 157, although I was ~ 180 at delivery. My babe is 4 months old. He is my 3rd babe and I've hung onto 10lbs with each one but no more. My goal is to go back to 135ish by the time I turn 30 in May which is where I was before kids. Breastfeeding is the best for losing weight!!

Shakeology comes packaged with a prop 65 warning in California. That was a turn off.

Have bad meals, not bad days. If you fall off, jump back on the next meal. You can do this! You've done it before!!!! GO GO GO! :)

Love!

I have food allergies and I get acne, hair loss and mood swings, among other things from them. Just a thought.

If you are exercising 5-6 days away have you gained muscle? You could actually require a few more calories now that you are leaner. A lot of health pros recommend this and it might work for you to try 1300-1700 and see what happens. Case in point…
