My weight at the midwife's today was 203.4 <--- WTF!! Ugh....

Well I have been totally MIA! My 1st trimester was HORRIBLE! Nonstop morning sickness AND migraines. Thankfully the sickness is not so terrible (I can EAT!) and the migraines are now just daily headaches. This has prevented me from working out and gaining healthy baby weight. :-O Had my 3rd MidWife appointment was today,…

I LOVE vinegar or lemon juice on mine. I stopped eating salad dressing a loooong time ago because I want to taste everything else! Roman and lemon juice never seems to bore me!

Girl I can totally tell! You have a chin now (and a beautiful bone structure!). :wink: Great Great Great job!! Keep it up, I think I can say for everyone we all want to see you at your goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya you!!! Tiffany :flowerforyou:

Switch to Fox. Fair and Balanced, They Report You Decided. CNN can go blow something....

Hey, don't worry a lot of people think they can just eat a ton of clean food...but that is not the case. Too much of any type of calorie is bad!! Here is a site I use often. I am also in school for pharmacy and a fitness instructor...I am not saying I am an expert or anything....but know food :laugh: And rule of…

Eat more protein and complex carbs in the day... your body is not craving sugar it is craving energy to get you through the day....

Just because you "screwed up" once doesn't mean the day is gone! And remember this is a LIFESTYLE change not a punishment. Sometime, it happens. Just say, as of "RIGHT NOW I am going to do better than a moment ago". You can do it! When I first started, I would in put everything in FIRST THING in the morning before I ate…

YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooo proud of you!! Keep up the great work, little things ALWAYS add up to major success! :flowerforyou:

If I order anything off a menu I look for the "KEY" words that tells Yes/No. Creamy/Buttery/Cheesy (we know them...) that would be a no for me. But! Grilled/Steamed/Saute all Yes!! And if you do, tell them you don't want ANY oil or butter on your meat (they do soak meat before it gets to the table so it "looks nice and…

Protein Protein Protein.... If you are trying to lose and he is trying to gain (muscle) then you both need more protein and less carbs. Make a complex carb side (small), veggies, and a lean meat...and Preso! Dinner both of you can have! Remember he is going to need more protein than you. I sometime have the tendency to eat…

But...If you drink water after your workout....well....the ballz were beaten to the wall for nothing! Focus on Fat and Carbs going in your mouth. :wink:

Mix up your routine....Try a new fitness class, video, or cardio. If you always walk at 3.5 try intervals instead. If you only go 15 minute walk...try 10 minute walk and a 10 minute run. Switch things around!! You can do it! I was stuck at 135-133 for MONTHS until I switched EVERYTHING I did! You can do it!…

First...DON'T EVER STARVE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!! Second: If you starve yourself to lose weight, you will find rapid weight loss. You'll lose the weight right off, and you'll look great. HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS. Your body is smart!!!!!! It knows that you starved it, so as soon as you start eating again, it stores ANYTHING and…

It only works if you are honest and willing to stop doing the things that got you there in the first place. Honestly, nothing works if someone isn't willing to do work themselves. You have to watch what you eat...and if you are like me and need to see the numbers then it will... But if you don't like writing stuff that you…

I honestly started with the Winsor Pilates - Accelerated Body Sculpting, buns and thigh sculpting, and Abs Sculpting. I still do them to this day and along with the traditional 25 that JP instructed. I am at level 3-4 (Advanced-Master) on the floor and 1-2 (beginner-Intermediate) on the bosu. Just remember yoga and pilates…

I am a pilates instructor. LOVE the machines, but are tooooo expensive. I still do floor pilates at home and when I got past advanced on all the position do it on a bosu ball.... You will have to go back down to beginner and work your self up (also some moves on the Swiss ball too!). I have been doing pilates for 6ish…

Really good if you are starting off working out. I used it when I first started and did spinning a lot too. The videos are funny and there is a counter that helps you "get through". I loved it!

Yes, It will get better! It is sooo hard to change your lifestyle! But I promise it is worth it. Wash your mouth out with mouth wash!!! I do it when I crave stuff, makes everything gross for awhile. When you are craving it...DON'T go anywhere near it that would make it easy to grab "just a taste". Instead of giving in to…

Too much of anything is bad. Your body will natural use the carb first for energy. If you are doing a low carb diet (it works!) don't go over your body's needs, if you do...like everything it will be stored as fat on the body. I am 130 I only need 70ishg of protien before my body starts to store as fat. I also took into…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I use Mirena (the IUD). :heart: IT!!! It's good for 5 years and don't have the weight gain or mood swings when I was on Tri-Sprintec. Since I am going to be in Pharmacy School the entire time... It worked for me. Tri-Cyclen Low is a great one to keep you feeling "normal". Oh FYI...generics are not…

molsongirl - Sometime... If I really really really want something no amount of "other things" can get me to not eat it (insert ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!) So I go do spinning or running and kick my butt (read sprint intervals here). When I worked off enough cals for the treat X2 (yes, X2!) I let myself have it! I eat it with a very…

Well, Olive, first it happens. Let me tell you IT HAPPENS!!!!!!! I have put on and taken off my "Dreaded 15" so many times.... :laugh: What I do when I eat WAY to much and was not smart... 1. Accept it...We are ALL human. 2. I brush my teeth BEFORE I think about hitting the ice cream (my weakness). I keep mouth wash right…

I wondered the same thing till I started reading back over my physio and anatomy books... I work out 2 hours a day...I have a min of 1200 but sometime after 1 hour spinning and 1 hour weights I burn so much I can't eat it all back! Sooo I make sure I eat more than 1200, drink Protein shake and not be hungry. I can usually…

Thanks! And WOW! :love: Nice Abs!! PX90 User?? I have the dvds...just can't do a stupid pull up yet! :laugh: soooo... i stopped doing it all together!

How am I feeling through out the day.... Well :laugh: I am a returning college student that is going to Pharmacy School next year! :smile: I do homework ALL night until 1AM ish...then wake up go to classes, go the the gym, and do homework! But tired as in overdoing it... no, I don't think so. Not any different tired then I…

You go girl!! I gave up alcohol a while ago... never missed it!! However, being 25 and going out with friends and ask for Ice Tea....well I got made fun of until they noticed I am getting biceps! :laugh: Before I eat or drink anything I ask myself...am I hungry and I am going to have to go to the gym to burn it off after I…

Okay, so I have been training to do a half a marathon (yah!!)...So to help with my endurance I have been One of the following every other day: 1. Stairs for 30 minutes (usually 2-3 miles), spinning for an hour (love it toooo much to ever give it up!) and then doing sprints for half a mile. 2. Run for 6-8 miles (did my…

Good job for starting!!!! :flowerforyou: I actually started not tooo long ago. I was always a spinner or a treadmill run/walker. I started running outside and WOW!! I have pain where I never had pain before. On the outside of my ankles for one. I looked in my Anatomy book and found there are stabilizing muscles that one…

I FINALLY Cracked in the 15lbs to go!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me 3 weeks to crack that "15" to go mark :grumble:. Just had to shout that out really really really loud when I weighed myself this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy: Goal here I come!!!!!!!!!
