Lookin good mama keep up the good work!

Could be your cycle too.. I fluctuate 6 (I KNOW, right!?) lbs during the month.

Cheating could be pretty detrimental. One meal outside at any restaurant averages 1000 calories. If you're eating three meals out in one day, it's almost a pound. Eat what you want, just ration your portions.

You'd have to drink quite a bit and be doing something that is antidiuretic. I find when I drink the right amount of water I have plenty of energy and get good sleep.. Wake up refreshed.

You spend an hour on facebook, you could spend that hour on working out.

I do a bit of both just in case. (o:

Can't trust people to make those choices for you. I'd be a wreck though and probably would have done the same.

Walking is not enough! If you need peer pressure, join the gym. If you can self-motivate, you can probably get by without it. The classes are a ton of fun though. (o: See if you can get some kind of discount via Costco's 24-Hr Fitness or through someone else who might have membership. They also run sales annually allowing…

It really sounds like your pregnant.

Work out twice as hard! Play hard, work hard!

You can do this. Nothing can stop you ! (Except you of course.)

Gotta start with making sure you get in the water you need and stay the heckkk away from processed foods. Those are a HUGE calorie zapper and don't give you much of anything except sticking to you indefinitely in places you don't want it to. Just remember that target is your target, if you can't make it, just try to get…

I vote for a shortened workout then going to the in-laws also.

They make running shorts that have netting in it. I find it to be useful so I don't flash the world my (cute) undies.

If you guys had the money I would just rip it all out and put in hardwood floors.. But then again I'm Asian, we seem to like hardwood floors... Plus it'll cut down on the allergens in your house!

Brains likes carbohydrates. I'd go with complex carbs.

Chances are if you severely restrict yourself, you're just going to want it more. There's always room for error in calorie counting, something you may have missed or forgotten, something the nutrition labels didn't tell you. Don't get so hung up on the numbers. MFP is just a tool to help you get there, but it is definitely…

I get crabby patties too. For those times I follow my own rules and that is.. Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full. If you're still full but you're supposed to eat, don't eat. If your body says you're hungry, it's hungry. If you eat half your portions of what you planned to eat and feel full, then stop and save…

Damn, victim to gossip.

Smoking suppresses hunger.. That's why homeless people would rather buy a pack of cigarettes than a burger. It's 80% diet, 20% exercise. Portion size plays a huge factor, and definitely cutting out processed foods helps too. Processed foods always seem like it's a small portion, but it's always packed with other nasty…

You are so sweet. Don't be so obsessed with numbers at first, it can seem really daunting. I fluctuate 6 lbs during the month depending on my cycle! (It used to drive me nuts!) But don't forget, taking out foods you're not supposed to be eating here and there and getting some exercise in will make a HUGE difference. When…

OMG that's hilarious.

One pound at a time and you are THAT MUCH closer. Good luck!

Jumping rope is most efficient.

It's definitely hard to tell someone who loves feeding you you can't eat it. I always try to intervene politely before they serve me and say something like, "oh you got your hands full, I can serve myself but thank you" and that way you can control your portions. If they're trying to feed you at all hours of the day just…

Restaurant classic: just eat half of whatever they give you.

Try turning that into something constructive. Working out usually helps for me when I want to hit the ice cream bucket. If you're not able to do that just go outside and take a short walk. A bit of sunshine does wonders. Or eat foods that you won't regret later like carrots or celery sticks. Chew gum if your mouth needs to…

Nutella! Spread really really thinly over whole-wheat multi-grain bread. The bread helps fill you up so you don't feel like eating more.

It's positive here, you don't really know anyone.. and it's really just all envy on facebook.

I really like dance music. Gets me pumped! You can also check radio playlists like http://www.dogstarradio.com/ you can search for Sirius XM radio playlists. BPM is a favorite channel of mine. Then I just buy them off iTunes. (o:
