I think i could figure this out, it might take me a few minutes though. Let me get the facts: a serving is 75 g? you made 225 g of cooked weight yesterday? 225 g of dry weight is 500 cooked?

Thank You all SOOO much :)) I'm going to take a quick nap and see if I can muster up some energy (7.5 miles DRAINED ME!) and then I'll AT LEAST make a lap around the neighborhood (about a mile) and see how i feel from there. It also helped that my Daughter just said "Mommy, are we taking a walk tonight? That's my favorite…

Kinda happened by accident, Started walking with my ipod and next thing I knew, two hours had passed and I'd gone like 7.5 miles!

I did a lot of searching and found something that says a study of several mothers between 19-41 showed that their calorie burn inncreased 18-20% walking between 3.0 and 3.5 mph normally and walking with a stroller weighing around 35 lbs. :)

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY HURT!! so much that i stopped midworkout today. when my hubby comes home from work i'm going to do the video with him here. he helps me stay motivated, and he won't let me quit or slack off. :)

Thanks :)

I just did the 30DS! Yay! I did it before I even knew about this post, so I am SOOO glad I found you all!! :) I'm very excited about it!

I'm checking out the 30 day shred now!!

thank you all so much. I'm glad that i am able to handle weight loss in a healthy fashion, and maybe she and i could work together to find a middle ground. Im sure she doesn't know how badly her eating disorder hurts me, but i don't want her to find out. This is her time for her, and i need to let it be. i'm trying my…

i just feel like with her in the hospital over this crap, me being this concerned with food will only be bad for her. right she needs to get as much nutrition as she can, and i feel terrible sitting 2 feet from her and worrying about how many calories my breakfast might have. not to mention i have enabled this, so i feel…

thighs that don't touch would be FANTASTIC! :) i can't wait to get them, and i'd love to be your friend! we all need motivation and support!

hey, i'm sure you will find this site to be a very nice tool to assist you in dieting! :) feel free to add me, i'm kind of new here too * i joined a long time ago but just started to use it last week!* i'm looking for friends because the more support we can all get and give each other the better!!

I dont think there is such a thing as "over preparation"! And you didnt "go a little nuts" at the gym as long as you feel good about it. if you get too tired or feel "wrong" then stop working out. when i had my membership i worked out for 5 hours every sunday. my mom kept my daughter and it was my day off work, so the gym…

Awesome! Congratulations!!

THATS GREAT!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm working up to that myself!! You just Inspired me!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! you really put it into perspective! it took me three years to get here, why try to take it off in one? :)

I can't remember not being "overweight" but after i had my daughter (and weighing 145 the day i left the hospital) her father became abusive. I fell into depression (reason 1) and ended up moving in with my parents to get away from him. My parents didn't make me work (reason 2, laziness) because they had all the bills and…

Great ideas all!! I ended up making a recipe that my cousin told me about, very simple: I used Ronzoni Smart Taste Penne Rigate (any pasta will do, but this is lo cal and fortified with other nutrients) then added kraft fat free shredded cheese, chopped grape tomatoes, and cucumbers. 1 cup cooked pasta 2/3 cup chopped…

WOW!! Congrats!! :) 195 was my starting weight, and i hope to lose around 65-75 pounds (im 5 feet even) so your pictures have truly inspired me!! Thanks for Sharing and keep up the great work! You look amazing :)

First off, Thank you for the motivation on my post! Second, WE CAN DO THIS!! The hardest part for me is being conscious of what I eat, but the food diary is going to help with that!!

would it be ok to have a glass of regular coca cola and maybe some saltine crackers (totally craving salt right now)? I mean, i know the coca cola is not good for me, but i am over 400 calories below what i should have.

hey all, i'm carrie... a 22 year old mom of 1 beautiful daughter. I want to lose this extra weight for her!! I want to be able to chase her around and jump and play with her all the time, which i can't do right now.
