Exactly. Also, if he's threatened by you bettering yourself, time to move on. :D

Salmon patties from Costco. YUM! And fresh fruits/veggies to excess. I honestly didn't' realize how many of them you could eat without going over calories!

I have no idea how to start a group, but if you do, add me! How much weigh do you use for the shred? I need to purchase hand weights possibly...but I hate shopping...Grr... Maybe I'll just use soup cans!

Funny!! Y'all are killin' me!

I adore epidurals, but I understand not wanting to go with something that severe. I had an intrathecal (shot of painkiller into the spine) with one of my 6, and it was great as well. Didn't last as long as the epidural, but the labor was also faster without the stronger epi drugs so it didn't matter. I know a lot of people…

I have been waiting for a boost to give it a start. I will start tomorrow. Feel free to add me if you want to do this together, anyone! :happy:

My hubby is a chubby chaser too. He would say he's not, but he is. Funny, considering he's tall and thin. :happy:

Not sure about Netflix, but 30 Day Shred (Jillian Michaels) is on YouTube. I plan to start that once the kids are in school. Yeek! :smile:

You have received all excellent advice. I would look in to what you are eating that your insides do not like. The suggestion that you might be intolerant of gluten is excellent, and something you should look into. Since you are starting what sounds like a physician assisted (right?) 12 week program, it seems that you will…

I loved POF when I was single. Most fun ever! I also married someone I met on there and we now have a 19 month old daughter. And he doesn't care that having her made me fat. ;)

This wasn't a real habit of mine, but I LOVED the occasional Big Mac or Quarter Pounder and McD fries with a coke! I know everyone is probably too much of a food snob to indulge in such things, but I LOVED it. I have avoided McD as if it were a deadly plague for a couple of months. While I haven't really lost any weight, I…

TOTALLY impressed! Great job!

I have a similar amount to lose, and have been losing/gaining the same 3 pounds for weeks (depending on where I am in my cycle). I am also discouraged, but I do have to share one thing with you. My "rock bottom" was about 6 weeks ago when I went to a baseball game and my hips ached the whole time because I was too wide for…

First was Damn Yankees when they were in their prime (I'm old) Last was Depeche Mode on their most recent tour (I like them because I'm old)

I would be annoyed. But not as annoyed as my husband would be if I were to do the same thing! So don't call this a woman thing, dagnabbit.

I had my kids at 25, 27, 28, 30, 31 and 41. I WIN!!! :drinker:

Awesome! Look at those thighs! I keep saying I'm going to add the shred to my routine. I currently do Zumba or Deep Water Aerobics for 60 minutes a day 5 - 6 days a week, but I want faster results! Thanks for the motivation!

I'm tired of being gross.

I wear two bras, and plan to invest in a compression top to go over it as well. I'm a G, not a GG, but they are still completely embarrassing. I stand where I can't see myself in the mirror and try not to think about it!

Valid stressors! Make sure that you do start taking melatonin again if need be. If you are working, worried about your baby, AND not sleeping, that will be bad! Make sure you are eating a well-balanced diet of good whole foods! I find that processed foods (granola bars, breads, bacon) even if they fit in my calorie limit…

Today it is sitting on my bed reading the MPF message boards. But usually my Me Time is going to Zumba. I'm addicted! :happy:

I really appreciate all your insight! Thank you! I do have milk supply issues when I try to "diet," so that is what concerns me. I just started taking fenugreek and will add blessed thistle next time I hit the store. :happy:

If your kids are under 5, you likely qualify for WIC. Look it up! Also, I have found that fresh fruits and vegies are pretty cheap compared to processed foods. What else can you buy for 99 cents per pound? Try making your own whole grain breads and pastas from scratch. Insanely cheap as well. Vegan bread recipes are even…
