Pickles are a good snack too

@zdyb23456 so far, I've lost 30 lbs since having the little one Dec. 28th, so maybe I am trying to over do it a bit

@zdyb23456 yea, mine would be snacking in front of the computer, but with my newly walking 14 month old (she started a month and a half ago) and the newborn, they don't allow me time for that. It's the snacking while trying to prepare meals, or when the 14 month old eats a snack or at night when I'm trying to stay awake to…

@WinoGelato check and check. For me it takes more than a minute to log my meals. I don't typically eat the same thing everyday. And yes, with 2 babies, sometimes that is a choice I have to make. Also, I believe I mentioned before that my problem areas is having a sweet tooth or snacking, so those most nutritious meals I…

@amyinthetardis1231 I ff now. No need for extra calories here. But I understand what you were saying

@WinoGelato I recently started back trying to log my consumption. Do I log everything or even every day? No. I'm well aware about calorie deficit to lose weight, however, as I mentioned above, I went from working and regularly doing high cardio exercise, to not getting out the house some days, and at best walking. MFP gave…

@kristamas thanks for your kind words. I just don't want to become complacent in carrying around this extra weight. So far this week I have ramped up the walks to longer (and earlier due to the FL weather). I'm going to go about it in a practical way. I think by me being more conscious and monitoring what I'm eating it is…

If I have the time, I will post credible reviews from medical journals via my college database

For all, I never said my mind was made up. If that were the case I would have just ordered. I asked to get REAL feedback from REAL tester. I too am skeptical. I was actually considering getting a genetic study for heritage and health and happened to come across it.

@Chef_Barbell Thanks! I wish you well in your weight loss journey. As a side note, I'm a chef too, well, I completed training at Le Cordon Bleu. Maybe we should come up with good tasting and healthy recipes

@Tacklewasher actually it is what I wrote. What you or "Joe Schmoe" THINKS isn't insightful, it's strongly subjective. And bc "that's the way things go" doesn't mean that's the way it has to be... Something to ponder on, there was a a lot developed by NASA for astronauts (small percentage compared to us commoners) that we…

@ninerbuff so as a trainer you would speak against new scientific tools to help one possibly maximize their weight loss?

@Tacklewasher and @ndj1979 I asked for feed back from those who have gotten this done. Do you not understand?

@Chef_Barbell I understand. I'm just trying to stay on some type of course so I don't regain what I've lost this far, and maybe lose some more

@Chef_Barbell yes, it is not easy. I'm so finished with having anymore children at this point. I had a point after bringing the youngest one home, and asking myself "what the hell were you thinking" lol. Between myself and the hubby we are spent. This semester in school has been good but rough too. It's good to be able to…

@NorthCascades what's your point? If I choose to get a DNA test, then what is it to you? Funny you and most of the others who replied are giving advice on something they don't know anything about, and then have the nerve to ask me to educate you when you typed that response on the internet

@panda4153 I only asked for SAHM suggestions bc I feel they can relate more. I too have been a working mother, but find there a many differences and some similarities. Gym is not an option for me. Plus I have a three month old and school work that minimizes the amount of sleep I get. I would say naps, but normally the 15…

To each there own. If I do get it done, I'll update on here.

Vintage, I can't remember the sites off the top of my head, but if you google DNA testing for weight loss or even DNA testing for health, it should pop up. @MarziPanda95 thanks for the insight.

From what I read, a lot of athletes and those who participate in the Olympics use it religiously.

It analyses your DNA to look at different traits ( I guess to see if you are predisposed to becoming obese) and sensitivities you might have to different foods. based off their analysis, they form a specific diet ( high protein, low carbs, or avoid sugars, or red meats, etc.) and it also tells you if cardio, weight…

I get what everyone is saying about the high calorie meals, however, we don't eat out every day. Typically throughout the week the meals are cooked at home and very balanced. Saturday's are when we go out as a family, and we eat out together for enjoyment. I have fruits and plenty of veggies around the house. I like the…
