I understand...I gained 60 with mine. At least yours seems to come off fast--my girl turned 2 yesterday and I am still working my *kitten* off (literally). Good luck and welcome, this site really does help!

Gee, I wonder why he's your EX. *eye roll* I'm sorry you and your son deal with that!

Same. I don't even bother--its not accurate and there is no sense getting discouraged when its not in my control anyway.

I was the same way, and people did the same thing to me. I saw it the other way around, too. Unless you want a child for the right reasons, it would be selfish to do it because society says you should. There is no law out there that says all women MUST bear child. LOL. HOWEVER, I ended up pregnant and I LOVE my little girl…

What a D*ck!

:noway: WTF....sounds like a dirty old man with a big mouth and some jealous haters in your office! I don't mean to sound harsh--this kind of stuff just really pisses me off. I have had people "warn" me not to "get all obsessed" again (I had an eating disorder that I have not fallen back into in 10 years at this point).…

I don't know what the ultimate answer is for this--but what is working for me is the combo of resistance training and cardio. Running really helped, too. Unfortunately, crunches and sit ups are not the answer, but as you lose weight the skin should tighten up, too. I had a C-section, which REALLY makes it a tough thing to…

I cut out alcohol during a lull in my weight loss and a few pounds fell off out of nowhere. Bet you will have the same experience. It sucks sometimes, especially since I live in wine country in CA, but I enjoy the feeling of sitting here wearing pants from my sophomore year in HIGH SCHOOL more than drinking :-) Good luck!

Man, you people have me wanting a drink, and its not even 11AM LOL.

Yep, 100%. You described my off days exactly. I know you are supposed to take breaks, but because of this, I cut out my off day and do an abbreviated workout. A shorter run than usual, a hike, ect. I am careful not to injure myself. I just can't take the way I feel on a day without exercise.

Strawberries and a little bit of Grape Nuts. So good and satisfies the need for crunchy too.

Yes when is this God forsaken heat wave going to end by the way?

That IS awesome! Congrats to you!

Upper arms. I don't want to still be waving AFTER I am done waving to someone.

Thanks!

Thats totally awesome!!! What a great feeling that is! Congratulations and keep it up. Also, I did the same thing in my state of denial but I was deep enough in denial thinking I could sit down WITHOUT unbuttoning. Lets just say I never even SAW that button again. It took flight and probably never landed LOL.

Feel free to ad me--I'm a 30 something SAHM as well.

LOL

Oh, I feel for you so much! I hate it when my daughter is sick! It really does take a toll on your fitness as well. :-(

I know how you feel 100%. I tend to have that "all or nothing" attitude, so on days I don't work out I am not as motivated to eat healthy--partly because 1200 calories (my daily limit on MFP) is not realistic for me and I feel defeated before I start. On days I work out, I think: "I got myself to the gym today, I'm going…

Welcome, LeAnne. I think you will find what you are looking for here, it really does work and finding good supportive friends on this site helps a great deal! Feel free to ad me if you like!

Personally, my sister could have roasted my *kitten*, but the fact that she said so many meaningful and heartfelt things in her speech at my wedding meant so much. I was so grateful for the speech she gave and not some cliche speech with dumb jokes. To each his own, it just meant more to me to have something real on one of…

Bump--the chocolate cravings are eating me alive at an alarming rate.

Oh yes....I call it the afternoon slows.

Holy moly! You look incredible! Thank you for being an inspiration!

Okay I'm a total buzzkill I know. But just be careful. I loved tanning too, but as soon as I stopped I had to have two malignant moles removed that were a result of tanning and I am only 31. :-(

That's great! Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!!!

I'm in!

LMAO--too bad you didn't take a picture of sports bra guy. I love it! Makes me think of one of those "people of Wal Mart" e-mails! You might be a redneck IF...... :-)
