SW: 225 CW: 230 ish? (haven't weighed in a while, too much christmas foods) GW: 150-155 Height: 5'7" Age: 29

*groan* from work...they handed out nice fleece jackets with our logo to everyone...only they gave me one in a size L...I'm a 2X in most jackets... It was the largest woman's available from the ordering catalog...something to work towards I guess...

I had already started losing weight when I had mine done about 5 years ago now. I gained some back during the 6 weeks it takes your body (mainly abdominal muscles that they cut) to heal from the surgery, but only about 10lbs. It was mostly because I didn't have the pain anymore and I could eat what I wanted without feeling…

Hi, *waves* I am also new, my chalean extreme is in the mail and due to arrive on january 4th :) I will be starting it up them.

I was just thinking about this after I read the article. What if a person did weight training/lifting instead of just extreme dieting to lose the weight? Would that have changed the muscle fibers in the same way and also caused the body to think it was "starving" and creating a starving hormonal response and/or effecting…

I would suggest cutting back on the alcohol. Maybe try a glass of wine with dinner instead of mixed drinks? It can't be great to be drinking that much right after surgery. Try this for foods: Breakfast: Fried egg with 1/4 cup low fat shreaded cheese on a multigrain bagel slim (~300 cals) Lunch: Deli sandwich on a deli slim…

I'm giving in to the holidays. I usually don't eat til I burst anyways because that makes it really uncomfortable to enjoy the rest of the festivities. We also almost always take a walk after dinner too. Not to mention chasing the kids around :) Baby girl is trying to crawl but hasn't got the hang of it yet, but she does…

I would get a blood test. Could be anemia/iron deficiency. They could also check your B12 levels, which can lead to pernicious anemia (you need B12 to make red blood cells) if they are low. I started getting dizzy working out and it turned out to be iron deficient anemia. I had to take iron supplements and now just watch…

I was 12 and I asked this boy jonathan to come to my bedroom window. I kissed him and he kissed me back, then said "there. Now are you happy?" It made me sad. I didn't have my first real kiss until I just turned 16 and one of my friends gave me a real frencher as a present. We were FWB for a few years after, never really…

I wouldn't diet either, besides morning sickness might kick in soon and solve that problem for you :) Just eat healthier, think of the little life in you and try to eat clean and healthy so your little one will start off with the very best. And do the exercising like walking and such, keep it easy. It will help you to keep…

I loved turbojam, I lost a lot of weight with it last time, nearly 50lbs before life took over and I gained it back. They have a turbo sculpt video that comes with it, it is strength training and uses weights but they go slow and it still kicks your butt. I wish I could find my videos now, I lost them when I moved. Now i'm…

My husband bought a shirt that said "D.A.D.D ~ Dads Against Daughters Dating" She was only 2 months old when he bought it :laugh: Oh he is going to have fun when she is a teenager :devil:

12/6: I suck! 12/7: I suck! 12/8: 50 this am!! now for 50 more tonight :) 12/9: 12/10: 12/11: 12/12:

I know what you did last summer in my pants. Grease in my pants.

I think I want to try this challenge too, I need a pick me up (or a kick me in the a@@ up)

Breakfast Fried egg bagel thin sandwhich (low fat cheese) coffee....mmmm....coffee.... Lunch Deli meat on a deli slim, with provolone usually with a tomato and romaine salad with mozzarella balls or feta cheese Dinner Invent something from whatever meat is in the fridge followed by whatever veggies are hanging around and…

I would wait to worry about losing weight until at least after 6 weeks. Give your body some time to recover from being pregnant. I remember breastfeeding, you will lose weight just through that alone. Just monitor your calorie intake but pay more attention to your little one. If you don't eat, and especially don't drink…

I was going to guess hiatal hernia? Go to your doctor again? Does it go away if you take benedryl (allergy)?

I really have to take some before pics, I only have some random photos, not some good body pics. I remember the last time I lost weight several years ago and what my first NSV was. I was wearing a size 20 at the time, but my clothes had really started to fall off me, not even belts were keeping them on. So I went to lane…

I have been under a crap load of stress and being busy and making some bad (really bad, as in yesterday I ate a whole package of oreos bad) choices. I already know its not good for me and that i'm eating like crap and struggling with it. They are probably already beating themselves up about it and wouldn't want a stranger…

Dirty joke: Two vampires walk into a bar. One orders a glass of blood and the other orders a glass of hot water. The vampire that ordered his blood starts drinking it, the bartender stares curiously at the one who ordered hot water. "why did you order water?" he asks. The second vampire pulls out a tampon and says, "I'm…

Not doing so successful. I injured my lower back last saturday and haven't been able to exercise all week. I only dread what the scale will say since I haven't been able to move much and have been eating crap. I couldn't even lift my 5 month old daughter for 3 days :( Its starting to feel better now but I have to take it…

It was my mother-in-law wanting to know what to bring for thanksgiving...and then...

I would say sleep deprivation in the beginning...I really don't do well without good sleep, and oh I was a basket case between that and the hormones. I thought I was giving my husband a break because I was on leave and he was working but I cracked and had to have him do some nights. Then on his own, he started taking a…

oh...those look so so tasty....

Be careful if you use poison...if they die in your walls, it creates quite a stink. Also, If your dogs get a hold of them and eat one that is poisoned or eats the poison...very bad. See if you can borrow a cat from someone, even if its a lazy cat. A lot of times, just the smell of the cat will drive the mice away. We had a…

:D I have to tell my husband that "yes the cashier just flirted with you" because he doesn't have a clue either.

I have tried tracking sugar but I think MFP is way to low, so I mostly ignore it. I don't eat much sugary junk in itself, It usually comes from my morning coffee and then if I have a yogurt or any kind of fruit it shoots it way up. There is no way to eat fruit and stay under it. That said, I try to stay lower since type 2…
