thanks, this helped!

thanks! It says I should be eating 1970, not 1700

thanks! What makes it so tempting is I got down to 215 a year a go on that, and now I am 250 ; ( Its so tempting to go back on..but it was crazy how fast I gained weight. Maybe Ill try increasing calories to 1800.

I love this too! Do it as a family

I am trying a similar approach. I feel bad giving my son so much processed crap. Thats how I got fat, and I dont want to see him in the same boat. I would gradually get them away from that food and eat healthier as a family!!

I have costocondritis too...just have to be careful doing any chest workouts. It never hurts to see a Dr. Mine told me I had a thyrois disease. Chill out with the anxiety...thats not helping costo. Trust me, I have been through it. Add me if you want ; )

thanks all!

thanks all..I want to stay away from processed foods also...thanks for the ideas!

no but I have Hoshimotoes duisease and alopecia- both are autoimmune diseases , and I have read that there is a link. I want to try it and see if it makes me feel better.

Hey. We can help each other out! I love working out, but cant stop at just one bite either .so all the working out in the world cant fix that lol

WOW thanks for the inspiration! I personally love that you didnt pay money for various diets, pills, procedures. Sometimes, that is just as hard as losing the weight. It is for me!

lmao! Yea give it two days...

Bananas are fattening. I know they have more calories than other fruits, but I didnt get to 240lbs eating too many bananas!!

wow! So inspirational, especially for me because I am constantly battling the idea of weights vs cardio and what works best. Cardio is not really working for me. I will step up my weight lifting this week! Thanks!

I dont log things that have no calories, I dont see the point unless you want to track other things. Like garlic, diet soda, ect

cool! I added "breastfeeding" :smile: thanks for the tips..Ill keep messing with it.

ok, so pre preggo weight was 218, I needed 2100 calories to maintain, I should be eating 2400-2600?! IM never gonna lose :sad:

he's 3 months...I give him formula also. I breastfeed about 6 times a day. So its 300-500 more than the calories needed to maintain pre preggo weight?

Im just starting out too, and I feel the same! Just do your best everyday and Im sure u will see results

I would do one at a time...my fiance uses the electric cig, and loves it!

Sabra hummus is great! In fact, I cant buy it because Ill eat the whole thing :laugh:

me me! I gained waaay too much with my baby..like 60 lbs! We should start a thread

I didn't know c section weight was harder to lose :ohwell:

:smile: awesome job!

I got a C section too. Son is 3 months old. Why is it harder to lose?

I'll probably be on my own here, but ephedra actually helped me lose a lot of weight, but its illegal now. No diet pills I took worked after that. Ephedra was the key. I lost about 70 lbs and kept it off for over 10 yrs. But, without the ephedra, its not really worth it.

Just eat what your doc tells you. Make sure not to eat for emotional reasons, like I did! I gained 60 lbs..way too much. You dont need much more food the first trimester. Congrats! And remember baby comes first

Thanks guys! I need to change my attitude, and not be so negative about it. Atleast the baby is happy and healthy. The worst feeling is when I see people I used to see when I was thinner..its like...I know they are probably like, "wow Lee got huge". Maybe not, but Im self concience..makes me not want to leave the…

I was just gonna post that...they are really, really good!

I'm trying to hold off as long as I can because I dont want to be a fat bride :cry: sounds really sad when I say that, but true! I want to lose the weight first...Im hoping dec. 2012
