  • I've struggled for a while now. I decided it can't be about what I want to do, which is nothing. I don't even think about how exercise is a mood stabilizer- I don't do something bc it's good for me per se. I exercise on schedule bc it's what I have to do. I exercise even if I don't feel like it bc I would never exercise if…

  • Congrats Chica! I'm so impressed about your wanting to be on ANW. I was totally thin before having kids (and I thought I was out of shape then at 114 pounds). I put on 74 pounds by the end of my second pregnancy. I've trimmed back at least 50 pounds and have at least 10 more pounds to go. My vanity goal is a single digit…

  • When I go to the gym I watch tv on my phone-lots of comedy. It makes the time go by faster.

  • 9 months, twice. I went from 114 to 179 between two pregnancies. I was fit all through my 20s until my early 30s with pregnancy. It's been brutal to peel back the weight.

  • IMO it's an addiction, and as you taper off of it, the cravings will fade. Your brain gets rewards when you eat certain foods, in this case, sweets. And yes, the brain wants that reward. Also, manufacturers will intentionally put chemicals into the food (MSG, anyone?) to make you crave it. For me, desire for a bottle of…

  • Hey! My goal is to lose overall 30-32 pounds. I started June 1st and have lost 5 pounds this first month. I have a 4 year old and soon to be 6 year old. ck1227 Thank goodness for "Kids Club" at the YMCA. I don't feel guilty about taking my kids there because they love it.

  • Thank you! I've been drinking nothing but the finest boxed wine (yes, sarcasm;) -Almaden's Moscato-which is 150 calories per 5 ounces and 13% alcohol by volume. Some of the great German wheat beers hover at 120-150 a bottle, but those are only about 6-7% alcohol by volume. So, it's definitely an endorsement for Tito's :)

  • Uh huh. I was 114 pounds when I first got pregnant, having never had weight issues before. I had a very nice four pack and toned muscles everywhere. I didn't lose baby weight before the next pregnancy a year later, yada yada yada found myself at 174 pounds. I've lost weight very slowly since then. I found myself at 148…

  • I have IBS and bloat when it's aggravated. I can go from my current normal to looking like I'm 6 months pregnant in minutes-all on account of bloating. After much investigation with a diet journal I've discovered that my trigger is soy. If your bloating is also pretty crazy, you may have one or more specific food triggers…
