Ugh. I WANT to do morning workouts. I once was at home full time with our youngest. Those were the good days. I had plenty of time. Did a full one hour workout in the mornings & had plenty of energy. Then when I started working, I was able to go in later than now. Had plenty of time to get up and around and tet it done.…

Thank you all. It was just something I was curious about. I know diet is the most important but since I am including exercise I wanted to know what others thought. There seems to be widespread belief online that morning workouts are more effective. However, I agree with you all, it is most effective when I'm doing it at…

My scarf was huge that day! LOL my measurements put me at more of a pear, maybe. My hips are about 1 inch bigger than my bust size. My waist is about 9 inches smaller than my bust size. I can't say I'm hour glass because it simply doesn't look that way to me. I think I definitely need to give the scale a rest and go by my…

I am definitely going to try that. I didn't know anything like that existed. I know I'm fluctuating but it has gone up for a week and not come back down. I haven't been to a doctor in quite awhile. I feel pretty decent, most days, about my body. I think I've retained a lot more weight in the midsection then I'm okay with…

Yes the picture is just from just under two weeks ago.

I really have gotten to a place where the number does not affect me nearly as much as it used to. The only thing that's bothering me at the moment is like someone pointed out, 150 lbs on my height is considered overweight. I can look in the mirror and appreciate how much my body has changed. I do strength training three…

That is a fantastic point. I really felt like, "well I'm the one that's been doing all the hard work it's gotta be me!" But that little niggle in the back of my mind kept making me feel otherwise. Thank you. I'm not planning on buying anymore.

I am 5'3" SW 175/180 I didn't actually weigh myself until several months in so I think I likely weighed more than that. I weighed 174 in April '16 CW 158/159 GW is currently 140 I base that on my body structure. I have naturally muscular thighs & a semi-large booty. I have never been 'thin' so to speak. So your GW doesn't…

Same here! I am shooting for 145 right now because it sounds reasonable and would be the least I have weighed in years. Sounds so much less daunting than 40 lbs.

Your family sounds like my husband. He isn't necessarily unsupportive, he just doesn't understand. He is 5'8 & weighs 134 lbs :/ I am also trying to eventually lose around 40 lbs from the point I'm at now. Cw is 166.2. You can add me if you want! I'm new to all the lifestyle changes but I'll try to be as motivating as I…

I want to say I'm sort of similar. I'm still new & learning but I try to eat MORE of less. Does that make sense?

It's the know-nothing in me worrying about "no eating three houra before bedtime." I actually was under my calorie goal today so it isn't that. It's my OCD telling me I have myself on a routine & eating late is off limits. :#

Thank you. I've been downing water like nobody's business. I think I'll have a little something and attempt to get some sleep. Maybe finding larger healthy snacks between meals tomorrow will help.

Thank you for that. I'm gonna try to find some fruit to snack on at least I know it's good for me. :D

I am overloading on water. Since changing my diet I only drink water. I likely go through 5 or 6 16 oz bottles a day. And I honestly feel like I literally ate all day! It frustrates me.

I just hate eating right before bed. It makes me feel SO guilty. I'm hoping my body will jump on the band wagon with when it's time to eat & when it's not! Wishful thinking maybe? Thank you!

Thank you! I feel more motivated this time than ever before.
