had belly time with baby this morning! am about to have a healthy snack and then head outside for a quick walk while it's not raining. neither of us got that much sleep last night so i am hoping that this will cheer us up and wear us out for a nice, long afternoon nap!

Hello all! I'd like to join this group, if I may? I used MFP two years ago to tone up for my wedding with fantastic results! Now I am stuggling to maintain healthy eating habits and regular exercise after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy in September... Today was a good day - under my calorie goals and no sugary…

Hi! I am embarassed to admit that I have not signed in since I found out I was pregnant 9 months ago! Now I have a healthy 6 week old baby boy and am REALLY looking forward to getting my prebaby body back! Here's the thing... YES, remember: you gave yourself 9 months to gain the weight, so give yourself 9 months to lose…

good morning everyone! due to work and all, i have been only been able to check in about once a week lately - and then it takes me 20 minutes to catch up on everyone's great news/progress/joys and stuggles... :heart: i would like to request some advice if possible: i have always had an incredibly weak back and it seems…

Good morning all and happy happy happy pregnancy to you, Angela! I have't logged in in a while because there has been lots and lots going on in my life - we're pregnant too! And can I just say how GOOD it feels to say out loud???? (My husband has decided he wants to wait a few more weeks to tell the family and I am just…

good morning and happy new year! my husband and i are also trying to conceive and i have found that since that first "try" i have become so much more conscious of what foods i am putting in my body. the thought of eating processed mystery foods over healthy and homemade meals is not even an option knowing that every…

congrats georg! have fun on vacation - feeling lighter and healthier - what an amazing thing to celebrate! ...took a day off from running yesterday to give my knee a break. MUST get back out today! by the way, check out the "buffet" in my garden: cherries, currents, strawberries, raspberries, cucumbers, squash, peppers,…

have still been running - twice yesterday, actually! one quick jog before breakfast and a long run in the evening with a friend. want to rest my legs, but don't want to lose motovation! am making a goal to work my arms more - i leave my weights are out where i can see them every night (sadly from the couch) but it's no…

i'm around! rain first thing yesterday morning, biked in the afternoon and swam laps for about 40 minutes with friends later in the evening. this morning, i've just done some easy yoga and am now heading upstairs to do some weights and situps. i love spreading my workouts out throughout the day and getting a healthy start…

took two days off from running to heal my poor, aching legs - WILL get back out there today! not feeling too bad about it because i have still been biking and walking my usual 20-30 minutes each, every day. food still yummy - lots of fruit. another beautiful day - get out in it!

due to wedding, weather and work, haven't biked with my women's group in over 5 weeks and guess what?! last night's route nearly killed me!!! i was groaning and sweating and my eyes were rolling away into the back of my head (after they first rolled over the fifteen 30-45 year old women sprinting along ahead of me) for…

have been running every day this week! actually my big news is that i got up and out the door before breakfast this morning! that is my new goal (excercise first thing in the morning) and i sure hope it sticks! have been continuing to eat well which has been really great all around - have even been blending a lot of juice…

hey there - i'm back from school/vaca/rest/recovery days! (unfortunately my rest days tend to be pretty gluttonous as well, so i have some catching up to do...) :embarassed: i have a new goal to try to get a run in a few mornings a week - see how that works. i want to schedule in a few more races this summer and that is a…

have been taking it easy the last few days due to crazy neck pain/sprain. will try to get out for at least a short jog or something today to get me going again. am with you mya - when i eat too many "different" foods, everything gets all wacky. i like to eat a variety always - but mostly want to stick to what i know!

biked an hour, swam laps for 40 minutes and have a short run (maybe 20-30 minutes) planned for this evening!! bought some healhy snacks while i was in town today to keep from crashing on the way home or binging on cr*p once i got here. hate spending money (although it was only 1,61 for an apple, a plum and two wheat rolls)…

FINALLY back into my helathy routines/lifetsyle after wedding madness! biked to school and back today (over two hardcore hours) and then jogged with a friend for about 20 minutes tonight. now i am going to go some yoga and stretches before bed! my goal this month is to incorperate more abwork into my days - i am so lazy…

great words, mya! i am still so amazed that you are jogging! sooo many people have never done it or are afraid to try it and really, it is the best free, available, fun fitness tool out there! yea! so today, i am getting back in gear! these are big words, my friends, as i have eaten... well, i'm actually not going to tell…

i'm back and MARRIED! it was an amazing day, an incredible week and a hectic vacation with all the visiting friends and guests! they are slooowly starting to return home and, after wednesday, i plan to get back to running and eating healthy! wish me luck - great job to everyone who has been keeping with it - you rock!!!

mya, i can't believe you RAN! you have no idea how proud of you i am!!! it is such a good feeling and that soreness in your hips and thighs??? so awesome! great job! i have done next to nothing this week except run around and stress. i am currently online getting up to th minute updates on incoming family members' flights!…

Great night at work - stuck to my plan with no sneaky treats! I am so close to my goals and so happy! I know this coming week is going to be hard with my family and friends here visiting (read: lots of eating out and celebrating), but after working so hard I am hoping to at least keep it somewhat sensible! Lots of cleaning…

i hate eating out when i'm trying to eat healthy. it's a good thing a love fruit so much - i try to carry a handful of dried fruit with me wherever i go! yesterday morning i swam 35 minutes with a friend and then jogged another 20 with another friend (at night, in the rain!) = good day! i am psyched to share that i have…

oof! i *somehow* managed to complete my whole 35 k bike tour last night with the sorest quads ever! took a much needed day off today to let the muscles heal and then i will be back in the game tomorrow with swimming scheduled in the morning and a run planned for the evening. also, hosted a little dinner party to meet some…

ran my race yesterday in hothothot sun - it was fantastic! i don't know my time for sure yet, but i do know i was way faster than the two previous attempts! tonight i am biking with my regular women's group and we are scheduled to do at least 30 km (about an hour and a half). last week i celebrated at the end with a giant…

today is my first 5 (actually 6) k race! my boyfriend and i ran the course last week at exactly 39 minutes, but i'm really hoping my friend and i can run it today in 38 or less. but really? i am just so glad i can do it at all! it is grey and overcast so far, but the sun is starting to work its way through. wish us a cool…

so proud of you, myastyme! under 200 is right there - you can do it! i am three weeks away from the wedding and feeling... just okay. maintaining healthy eating has been tough, but i am still biking and running. today my boyfriend and i ran the 6 k course for my first race (since high school) that is scheduled for this…

do NOT be hard on yourself! i had some friends over last night for a wine tasting (we made our own apple wine for the wedding and i wanted some second opinions) and snacks. and so i drank. and i snacked. and then i indulged them by modeling my dress (after drinking and snacking!) and i have to say, i was feeling pretty…

beautiful weather and finally another pound lost - life is awesome! i have been continuing with my running and biking and have also been throwing in some easy walks to mix things up. i feel so light and happy lately, but i know that things will be getting crazy busy/stressy/chaotic in the next few weeks. to that end, i'm…

hi again! i very much wanted to join this group because i am coming right up on my wedding and don't want to lose my motivation! i started mfp a few months ago with a start weight of 142 and goal weight of around 129. i am currently at 135 and feeling really great (although still a little "wiggely" in a few places). my…

i want to join! my wedding is only... 23 days away! i am rushing off to school so i will post all stats later - just wanted to say 'hi' and congratulations everyone! :flowerforyou:

soooo happy about today!!! it is a gorgous spring morning and it is also the first day of my women's biking group! we meet once a week to complete biking tours of belgium. tonight we'll begin with only 20 or so kilometers, but by october we are up to 60 km an evening. (that's over two hours of hard biking!). it's an…
