@SwtHedgehog interesting! Yea, I'm not able to run much due to back problems, until the last 2 years- but I've got bad genes for knees so I'm still weary, but man. It was so incredible feeling when I was able to finally run just 2 blocks ha. Now I can run with my husband with the babe in the stroller for a much longer…

They are indeed a dangerous bundle of goodness... but while I'm enjoying them too much, I'm also still mindful of food and exercise so whatever. Lol. I'm waiting for the referral for a Therapist to call me (I've been dealing with PPD), and in the meantime I'm just living each day enjoying and trying. I successfully pulled…

Everyone, my sister shared this with me and you all might benefit. I like generally what it has to offer! https://www.drnorthrup.com/train-your-mind-to-lose-weight/

@ClearNotCloudyMind CONGRATS!!!!🥳🥳 What a day indeed! Haha. I hope you celebrated, much deserved awesome news!! We had our own mini celebration last night- his birthday is the 19th and we were able to afford to finally pay his one credit card he hated (as his gift lol), so we had a cutting party with popcorn n a movie lol.…

Hey all! I'm alive! ... super stoked about that weightloss!! ... congrats!!! I get frustrated and my temper boils and tears come.... more often than Mad and cry... which is ironic because everyone just thinks I get mad and I'm actually just really frustrated ha. I've gotten much better than I used to be, not quite so…

@gfinley49 I think that is also fantastic! I can only dream of doing a lb a week like that...and I'm not surprised you got a bit stalled, but I agree with what the others say. Keep at it! Slow and steady definitely wins the race and I'm pretty sure you'll get putzing along perfectly fine! Best of luck!!! I personally am…

Hi all! Jealous of local finds! I'm able to get yogurt in via Chobani yogurt drink- mango. Heck expensive per bottle but it's great for portion and protein @renaegry patience! It'll surely drop eventually- and in the meantime you're doing awesome and hopefully feeling it in other ways! @Gold6767 condolences, it is never…

Checkin in... My head and eyes say sleep more while you can, my other brain says I should get some hours of work in while I can (9hr day ahead) . ... then the body while wanting to sleep also really would love to workout. ... if I get up I have to decide and make breakfast, and I'm just not ready for that yet.. . Even…

Great to hear from everyone! I started getting migraines because of screens and lighting I dealt with... I changed the bulbs and try not to do too much quick flying around on screens and it helped. As does increased water! Amazing but really easily helped. I found trousers that are flowy and breathable! Hurray! I have skin…

@SwtHedgehog , I completely understand those veg TV times... I get depression/anxiety and subconsciously end up going on binge watching and just don't sleep.... I had several nights when I first had the babe where I would finish a book a night, or watch too many episodes while she slept in my arms - I got my sleep that way…

@tinybry I never understood how someone could eat PB straight from the jar, but it is indeed a weakness- so many calories in PB! I do it though because it's a staple in my abilities to get filling protein in for my diet. Particularly when I was pregnant .... I successfully did Zumba yesterday! I felt like a million bucks…

@ClearNotCloudyMind glad to hear you were able to hide from it! We have an open concept kitchen so that's tricky for me lol I put things in the pantry and it'll get forgotten usually... or put the baby on me so I'm lazy lol. Old habits die hard. True statement! As for yesterday!! 🤯🥳🥳🥳🥳💃💃😭😭💃💃🥳🥳🥳🥳😁👍❤ Her EEG came up normal!!…

@judefit1 welcome and best of luck! I can't even imagine losing 60 lbs... Twice! To Boot! I have complete faith you'll achieve your goal, with time 🤗🤗 @ClearNotCloudyMind congrat! I remember those feelings when I felt things were really changing. It truly is incredible and you should enjoy it to the fullest!! Keep strong…

Hi all! Welcome to the new folks! Not quite ready to get back to logging and checking in - she's not sleeping much during the nights so I'm just trying to stay focused on life and get through my busy work deadlines. The 15th is our big appointment for her and it will tell us if she must stay on meds or is healed or what…

Hi all! I did manage to walk once but am juat balancing life and work. Ma goes back next week... going to be one heck of a week. I made corned beef and veggies last night, ate it today with cornbread muffins and gravy made today. Might have taken 2 nights but I got us a dinner ha. Relying more on my green tea now to get me…

Hi all and new faces! Can't stay long as my brain is mush... Fantastic to hear some pounds were lost! AND the ability to stick to it! Definitely small wins make a huge difference when trying to not derail completely... I've survived the week, his offer letter came in today and so he will be starting first of the month.. I…

Hi all! Sounds like February is approaching -with everyone having their "fall off the horse" moments.... definitely been there! I found I needed a wee bit o heavier calorie day(s) every so often. I think it ended up balancing out my workouts or something? Definitely something you try not to have happen but it's definitely…

@heather9986hg welcome! Never fun seeing a slippery slope n having to climb back up. ..I was the opposite when I met my husband I lost weight. Love made me confident in myself and I feel I became more beautiful, and I was able to get an elliptical and college zumba classes which helped a lot in my regime ha. After 6 years…

Hello all! I don't have much time today, but wanted to stop in. Survived the week n now have a 3 day weekend! We put here crib up so maybe I'll burn more calories getting up for her through the night 😆🤔😋 Just kidding, she's just gotten too big for the old way lol. I was only able to get off 6 weeks of work, but I've got a…

Hi all! You guys are doing so great! Makes me really motivated to keep charging forward! After a weekend of sleep, I managed to get to work by 5, but then I ended up putting in an almost 12 hr day with the babe eating every other hour almost. ... so I didn't get a workout in - my brain was better after more water n food…

I HAVE FAITH IN YOU.! Try more water, changing something up a bit? Give it two weeks. I added a veggie snack to my repertoire and it caused a hiccup in my plateau once. Change up workout maybe too?

Welcome @Serastar ! Best of luck!! @HealthyTrent I love when ya find those kinds of trails! Hope you enjoy them fully! We were stoked to find a nice walking park just 10 min drive - great when we don't even have sidewalks outside our place. Love nature walks! @tinybry. That just sounded Lovely. I loved the walkability and…

Hi all! @ClearNotCloudyMind glad you were able to prevent a succumb to the carbs!! I have definitely had those moments and they are so hard to combat!! Kudos!! @Gefiun it is never easy getting back into the swing of things! I'd suggest dancing- even if it is with a broom, partner dancing does a lot for posture and your…

I'm awake and she's not, so I actually get to post Two days in a row! Ha. I never got my workout in, my head is beyond that ability due to lack of sleep and to protect my milk supply I can't just do what I wanna do and workout.... in case I get too worn out. Those midnight feedings or 3 am feedings hit randomly at the…

Hi all! These posts are so many (which is great!) My silly brain forgets half of it by the time I'm ready to respond ha. It's great! Love hearin the commitment, failures and successes. Totally understand and commiserate and celebrate! Veggie lasagna is delicious, and nutritious (veggies mmm, lasagna mmmm). I actually did…

Hello everyone!! I've survived the holidays and am back full swing! Kicking depression via takin my iron, combat anemic lethargy, sleeping and I got myself a Switch Lite and bluetooth audio converter so I can workout in the bedroom while the husband plays on the big screen. It worked great yesterday! My mom is the kind who…

Hey all! I wrote this big long response to everything and then I ended up getting a fussy choking baby and it went poof before I could submit...so then I was pooped and didn't rewrite haha. I'm still busy and pooped so I'll just say: I'm loving seeing you guys persevere!! It is inspirational and I have full faith that…

@HealthyTrent way to go! Did you know, wrap lettuce in aluminum foil and it should stay better? That's what they say at least. My mom also puts carrots n celery in water. I can't wait to hear how those keepers do. Always a trial keeping fresh produce fresh... best of luck! Great job on that walking! So many steps🥳💃 My…

@melichalupa I can only image how those videos looked 🤣 fantastic though! Glad you made it and hope you'll find one you really like n stick with it! Maybe do yoga class officially once a day, and just some nice stretches before bed. I wish I could get into yoga, it is so good for you! I'm more of a dancer/running…

@ClearNotCloudyMind I would say that being under isn't necessarily a problem, but be careful going less than 1200 - that is the minimum for a, healthy, human (under is technically starving or malnutrition). While people do go under, you really shouldn't. I would try to at least make that with perhaps more light snacks like…
