You're a better person than me I refuse to make more than one meal for my household. Some nights our dinners are healthier than others. On the nights that they aren't I just eat a smaller portion or I make extra side veggies for it. In general I don't look for motivation in other people or support from others IRL. All of…

My mom was just writing me how she needs to lose weight and doesn't now wat to do since shes got a bad back and knees. I told her to use myfitnesspal and to monitor her calories and log what she eats an stick to what it tells you to loose for your height and age. I also suggested she buy a scale and to measure her food…

I've been eating like crap all day today. Had to go and fast and get my blood taken this morning an as soon as it was over I stopped and got food at the first place I could so I wouldnt keep feeling sick. But after that it just kept spiraling I've felt sick all day and my husband has jut refused to help with the baby in…

Today I was putting away the clean laundry when my husband came home. He walks in and starts telling me about his day then out of nowhere he throws out there "babe you are really looking good". I don't know the last time I got a compliment like that. It felt great and I'm feeling great about myself! Confession...sometimes…

Mothers day is coming up. I never ask for anything. I've always felt bad at the idea of it because growing up my mother would make me and her other two kids and actual list on paper of all the things she wanted. My husband mentioned a week or so ago he wanted to get me something. I just asked him if it would be ok if he…

If you're looking for exercises on how to correct it there are a ton of videos on youtube. Also Lindsay Brin as work outs specifically geared towards women with the condition.

Yes! It was so hard to hide my joy. I know I'm not at my goal weight yet but it just made me so happy and that much eager to continue what i'm doing.

Probably depends on what kind of coffee you are drinking. The packaging should tell you its nutritional content.

I finally got a food scale. I always thought people or so full of it when they say weigh out everything. 5 oz of tilapia looks a lot different then what I always thought. Wow I was over eating on healthy foods all the other times I tried trying to loose weight. So heres a confession. On easter I saw my brother and sister…

Chinese food is my ultimate weakness. I had a cheat meal on wednesday and one thursday. I shouldnt have but I was in line to have my kids see the easter bunny for 2 hours and when we were finally done I was starving. I gained backed 3 pounds. Two pounds are what I lost this week. I'm hoping its water weight because I…

Yeah I was hoping t was just water weight.

Today I had my cheat meal. It wasn't like an epic cheat meal with huge portions or anything and it take me up to almost all my calories for today but I'm still under slightly. I just feel so gross with myself. Plus my scale is saying I gained two pounds back after that meal :(. All it was was kung pao shrimp and the little…

Before when I would have cheat days they would spiral out of hand and I would end up never losing weight. I do cheat meals now but I still make sure I'm within my range of calories for the day. So my cheats are probably not even cheating. I allow myself fast food one to two tmes a week and I preplan my food for the day…

common sense and I are not on the best of terms. I really should print out a conversion chart though it would come in handy. I was horrible at conversions in school.

For me starbucks isn't worth its calorie, french fries, drinking my calories unless its wine or a tablespoon of milk to put in my coffee. Chips of any kind arent worth it This includes veggies straws. a portion of those damn things are basically the same as a one ounce bag of potato chips. Milkshakes also aren't worth it…

I wanted the last bit of wine I had left that I was given for my birthday. I scanned the bottle into MFP then I poured all that was left into a measuring glass. I was 1/2 a cup so I googled how many ounces are in a 1/ 2 a cup. Apparently 4 so then because I'm terrible at math I googled how to make 4 ounces into a decimal…

I prelog the night before. But I do it so that I stay on track and don't binge on random things without knowing how many calories they all are. But thank you for sharing the chart. Try to make it all balanced out never really crossed my mind.

Well I found out about i while I was still pregnant. It was really bad here at my house.. On my part I just raged like an crazy woman and the pregnancy hormones didn't make it any better. It seriously took everything I had to really just not hurt him because I came very close and I don't want to be that person. Yeah hes…

I know its not ok. I also know I can leave him at anytime I am in a position to be able to. We made the agreement to work our issues out. But even despite that its really taken a toll on my own self image. I'm not trying to be unrealistic with my weight goals or anything or my ways of reaching them. I'm not starving myself…

When I'm out with my husband I compare ever female I see who is attractive or skinny to myself. I never use to or obsess on my weight or the way other looked. What started all this was my husband actually had plans to cheat on me while I was recently pregnant. The reason being was how big I was made him unattracted to me.…

Don't keep foods in your house that are unhealthy snacks or are your typical go to binge foods. Keep lots of healthy snacks in stock that you know you actually enjoy.

Any time I try a protein drink I end up eating food with it and over eating. I have better luck with protein bars. I'm short on time in the mornings so I grab a clif bar and that works for me.

This is me right now. I have a 7 year old and a newborn. Tired is an understatement.

I have 6 more pounds to loose before I'm my pre-pregnancy weight. I still feel terrible about myself because that weight isn't the weight I want to be. I should be happy I've lost this much (I was logging with loseit) but I just feel like ths is not a good enough number. Even though I keep getting compliments from family.

If you're worried about hard boiled just limit how many you eat daily. I like eating hard boiled eggs instead of scrambled or fired eggs. It always just seemed easier. If you're worried about candy limit how much you buy for your kids. I don't plan on buying my daughter any candy other than one chocolate bunny, the rest…

There are a lot of etsy stores you can buy them from, I've been hooping for about a week. I bought a hoopnotica dvd. If Ineed help I look on youtube.

Hope its ok that I revive this thread. Right now I'm doing Lindsay Brin's first postnatal boot camp dvd. I've already finished week one and I lose one pound doing that along with counting calories. This thread is super long so I'm just going to ask who did boot camp one or two and how much did you loose after completing…

I've been weighing in daily but I think I'm going to just start doing it weekly.
