I can tell you that you do not want to wake up 5 years from now and look back with regret for wasted time. Wasted on a person who does not love you fully. True love is unconditional and makes both better people. I have been married 4 years and known him for 7 and I still get excited (we call them butterflies in our…

I took my baby trick or treating to get the candy last year. My baby sat there excited over pretzels and didn't want the chocolates. I will do the same this year but not eat all the candy in one sitting :smile: For me I find that family and friends are just so used to how things used to be and get into a habit. They…

I have been there and know how horrible it is to be turned away for not fitting in that seat. That is wonderful you were able to use it to and do amazing! Great Job!

I do need to believe in myself. I have let other people destroy my motivation and hard work. Its been too easy to turn to food when I get down. I need to work on a schedual. I do so much better on one.

I have a 9 month old and I know what you mean. Looking for help with motivation too.

I breastfeed too. If you look up breastfeeding in food you can add up to 500 calories. ☺ Hope that helps

34 week pregnant overweight mom right here. The best thing that I found was many smaller meals. Making sure I had protein and fiber in every meal has helped a lot. Along with plenty of water spread out so that I wasn't stuck in the bathroom. I haven't been the best at tracking (My 15 month makes tracking tough) but I have…

Congrats on the engagement! Love your pictures! Beautiful smile! Your going to look amazing on your wedding day no matter what with a smile like that!:) Good Luck with your planning!:)

Get on a good prenatal vitamin (I have heard there are gummy prenatal vitamins) and eat healthy when you can. Just eat where you are comfortable but you really do not need to increase until second and third trimester. If you have morning sickness don't force yourself to eat more than your comfortable with. My doctor told…

I am 28 weeks with my first and have gained more than I should have. I am hoping to get back on track and finish positively.

We did not use any fertility treatments. In fact we just started to try on our own(the doctors wanted us to try for 6 months to a year on our own first) and I was shocked to find out I was pregnant. I have not lost very much weight so I thought it was impossible. I had cut down my sugars and carbs at that time so that may…

I have PCOS too and am currently pregnant. It is so tough to lose weight and keep it off with PCOS. Just cutting calories does not work and that is so frustrating. I fought it for a long time but I am finally cutting back on processed carbs and sugars. Just had an ultrasound yesterday and the baby is healthy and active so…

Where I work we do not always have free food but when we do it gets crazy! What I do during those times is allow myself one treat after my healthier snacks are gone. That way I am not so hungry and can enjoy it rather than inhale it. Also making sure I drink plenty of water with my snack helps me feel fuller. I am not…

I have also heard orange slices are good. Have yet to try it but it sounds good.

:)

I would say look up crock pot ideas. I love just putting stuff in a pot in the am and coming home to dinner ready. It also makes a lot that can be spread out over the week or freeze for later

I did not expect this responce. Thanks for the laugh! Love it!

These are awesome suggestions:) I am excited to try them out!

I do use pandora at times but have not found a station that works for me. Eye of the Tiger is a classic motivational song for me!:) I'll try that station. Thanks I will try them all out since I am not a normal person and do love awesome things. :) Thanks

Congrats on such an amazing job! I have PCOS too and know that it is impossible to eat the same amount as others and lose weight. You just motivated me to go do my Zumba today so thank you!:)

Me too!!

We never have any problems with those who ride their bikes on the path. We pay attention and move closer to the side. The people we see on bikes are the nicest people. We smile, wave, say hello, ect. Its only those who are in their cars. There aren't many sidewalks near where I live and I feel like Im more in the way…

Some of the tips i try is drinking alot of water while eating, and eating slowly, filling up on veggys first, kids meals are usually great for portion control or sharing with someone.
