I promise you, most people are too busy worrying about themselves to notice you. You left because you chickened out, not because other people didn't want to see you. You have to get over that and develop the "I don't give a *** attitude, I'm gonna go work out!" I think starting with a trainer is a good idea, they'll show…

Hybrid Theory Bon Jovi

Ok then. First would be realizing 0.6 lbs is normal and not a big deal as weight fluctuates day to day. Second would be relaxing a bit, because you're wound really tight. You want to throw in the towel because the scale went up 0.6 lbs in a day?? Third would be rereading all of what I just said, because I'm pretty sure if…

Really?

@SusanMFindlay thank you! Yes I care more about the calorie burn than the steps, I just want credit... shopping with 3 babies under 3 is a workout! Haha.

I get the endorphin rush near the end, and am more frisky at night for sure. But not turned on AT the gym, no.

"Do you want any of this (insert sugary food here). No? Are you sure? Really?" No, if I wanted it, I'd go get it, I know where it is. "Oh, are you supposed to eat (insert sugary food here)." Yes, if I want it, I can eat it, I know moderation. The sabotaging comments are what really bug me. I don't believe there's malicious…

There's lots of flowy top styles for cheap on Amazon, surprisingly enough! I've heard good things about LuLaRoe, though it's a pain because you have to buy from a consultant (search FB groups). I've only tried the leggings on and they really are comfy. They have lots of flowy tops with funky prints. Tops:…

@angelxsss cute shoes! @_unsteady_ Love that jacket style, good choice.

I don't understand why people share their kids pics on public forums/platforms. Not just the selfie thread, but public FB/IG/etc. Do I think anything horrible would come of it, no. But stranger danger yo.

Thank you so much, this helped to hear someone who went through this firsthand.

He says he completely hates the first name, though I think it's probably less the name and more the fact he feels he was 'browbeaten' into changing it (his words). He definitely has hard feelings, still, 9 months later.

I know :/

Awkwaaaard.

Thanks guys for your thoughts. The new name husband wants is actually just her middle name, so to me it makes sense to leave her given name on the birth certificate, then call her by the middle name if he wants. I don't want him to hate his kid's name, and I feel bad that I pushed so much to change it in my hormonal…

Be kind to yourself. I liked the phrase "it takes dedication, not motivation". Why not start small, say to yourself "I'm going to go to the gym everyday and ride the bike/do the elliptical/walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes". Watch a show, relax, get back into the ROUTINE of going to the gym. I guarantee after a month of…

For me, I'm comfortable in black workout pants and a black workout shirt. I sweat and move a lot and the material breathes better. I like feeling 'covered' because I know people look at other people. I don't really care what other people are wearing, but I'm not gonna kid you, I check everyone out. What else are you doing…

You never know. I was doing squats last night next to a middle aged lady, and she was struggling. I was giving her encouragement and she said "It's easy for you! You're young and have energy and have time to do this!" I politely corrected her "Actually, I'm 30, have 3 kids under 3, my fitbit says I've been up 6 times last…

Yes x 1 million

You have a trainer, so you know what you are doing. You have the willpower, because you keep showing up despite feeling uncomfortable with yourself. You just need the confidence. Everyone starts somewhere... those super buff dudes at the gym didn't leave the womb like that :) Focus on yourself, crank up your music and get…

Drinking my coffee, pretending I don't hear my children awake in their rooms saying "mama I awake, I get up now!" Shh, no little cherubs, coffee time.

That's the worst.

I'm ok on 7-7.5. I need one cup of coffee in the morning, that's it as far as stimulants. I can't nap during the day or else I'm groggy, and anything more than 9 hours and I feel like I'm hungover.

My internet orders are running really, really behind. Prime will "guarantee " 2 day delivery, which is a bunch of crap because it gets here when it gets here. I buy online most the time anyways, because shopping is le suck.

I like catchy names like that, so as far as branding goes I give it an A+. As far as the actuality of opening and running a restaurant, I have no freaking idea but wish you well!

I like this. I just went through a rough patch and can say when I'm very depressed I spend more money, don't care about the house as much, and eat like crap. When I take care of myself, then I stop the retail therapy, I take pride in a tidier house and I eat much better and work out much longer. For me it's all connected.…

You and me both sister. Welcome

I just got the Charge 2 and I love it so far. The extra steps are negligible. Yes, it might count some here and there, but it may also miss some here and there. You can also input your stride length to make it more exact.

Fellow Stephanie, I just want to give you a hug. I'm also 5'11" and was around 145 when I was that age. It's a good, healthy weight girl. What's not so good and healthy is your mindset, as everyone here has already pointed out. Taking care of your health includes more than just your body, you need to take care of yourself…
