I've been tightening up on my food this week, since I can't exercise. I did read the info packet on my antibiotic (cipro). My doc didn't tell me anything about it, the packet said do not exercise while taking because of risk of tendonitis. yay. I'm feeling better, still a little phlegmy and sinus pain in the morning, and I…

Still sick, Went to the docs...sinusitis and a sinus infection. He said probably because I didn't get any rest that I got sick and then couldn't recover from it. So, now on antibiotics for 2 weeks but hopefully it will take care of everything. My weight has been all over the place, up to 249 at one point but for the last…

My sweet spot is 8-9 hours. But...I haven't gotten that except every once in a great while in about 4 years or so. I have a 2 and a 3 year old...the 2 year old took a year just to sleep through the night and then another 6 months to get to her own bed. And she still wakes up at least 1-3 nights a week, usually around 3am.…

Now I've been sick all week, feeling like crap, still tired from last week and now being sick, zero energy, eating all the things then not eating because don't feel well...and...put on 2lbs...in 1 week...:( :'(…

I had a hard time and not a hard time. I didn't track, which I should have, I know I ate a lot of salty goodness. It was my 2 year olds bday party. We had pizza, chips and dip, cake and ice cream. But I was busy busy, I swear I didn't stop moving til 7pm sunday night when all was said and done. Plus, I didn't eat as much…

So...bad tiring week of sickness and now TOM...but I usually gain 3-5 pounds of water during TOM, so maybe this means I will actually be lower next weigh in. Hoping to catch up on sleep this weekend but its going to be busy busy busy and full of cake and ice cream and pizza (and shopping and cleaning...) for my little 2…

Have fun! see you when you get back! Moving burns lots of calories :D

Regular squats. I have balance issues and I can only do BW right now because I tend to fall over a lot and don't want to do that while holding weights. Also, bad knee. I can always tell if I had bad form that day by if my knee is throbbing the next day or not. today, both of them are....and I didn't even fall over this…

What is stopping you from buying a meal plan? Is the cafeteria food not that great? I went to UMASS, there food was awesome, huge salad bars, hot foods, different cafeterias served different foods, they had grab n go stations for quick grab lunches that we took to class, etc. That may be your best option while your at…

the bad: I almost lost my plot last night. ...I got fast food...because I was sooooo hungry....I haven't entered it yet since I don't want to see the numbers but I will in a bit just to show myself. The good: I walked yesterday, not at my usual pace but I did double the distance so 2 miles instead of 1. I wasn't even going…

Wow awesome! I'm definitely interested!

Yesterday I went slighly over since I was super hungry and I didn't exercise...bleh...I am getting a lot better at weighing out my food though and really seeing what a portion is (1 portion of velvetta mac n cheese was a *LOT* smaller than I thought it was *sad kitten*) So today! Doing good, not as hungry as yesterday so…

I maintained this week. The weight I put in my starting post was a guess, but I weighed the next morning and I'm the exact same weight this morning :) SW: 245.2 CW: 245.2 No loss

I had supply issues when I went back to work and started pumping a lot. But as for eating, I didn't gain weight but I didn't lose either. I was too exhausted from the sleep deprivation to exercise and I ate a meal almost every 2 hours I was so hungry at the time. As for pumping up the supply, feed on demand. Don't try to…

Me too! I get so busy or so blah and since I haven't made it a practice yet, I forget about logging. Then I try to remember what I ate on monday and its impossible to get everything. I'm going to join you and try to remember to log my weekend this weekend :)

Oi....bad weekend, bad yesterday. Didn't do any of the exercise I had planned or even yardwork. My excuse is the girls are sick and haven't been sleeping well...which translates to my hubby and I not sleeping well...so...tired. I think I ate all the foods yesterday and at least I got a 1 mile walk in, and I weighed out my…

My cardio: I like turbo jam vids that I've had for ages and love. I have vids from 20-50 minutes so I can choose which one I feel like or have time for. They helped me lose weight the first time around about 5-6 years ago. Also, my exercise bike, my knee hates it at first but It does help strengthen it after a couple of…

I've always got full weekends. Its the only time I have to do housework, food shopping, and anything else that needs to get done. This weekend I have a whole sunday planned for yard work, I'm cutting some vines and trimming back a tree and a gigantic bush in my front yard. The lawn is still summer slow so I only have to…

I'm doing great so far today! Last night I used the scale to measure how much I was eating. Some things I was low on, like what I thought was 4oz of chicken was actually only 3oz. But when I spooned pasta on my plate...oh boy...one serving was not what I thought it was, I had to cut it in half. But I had some baked zuchini…

I'm with you. Granted, I need to lose at least 60lbs before I get to a point where the number won't really matter. I've lost weight before and found as I got closer to where I wanted to be, I only weighed myself once a month or so to make sure I was still heading in the right direction but the number itself didn't matter…

I'm in, but I'll have to take mine tonight when my hubby gets home. I put the dates in my phone so I wouldn't forget :D

My day 2 is going well. I picked a healthier lunch option today, and it actually cost less. I managed to fit in some lovely dark chocolate, pretty much the only thing that gets rid of my chocolate craving. But I bought the good stuff, and only ate a serving of it, so I can have some for lunch tomorrow too, yay! I made it…

Wow, awesome progress! I was also going to ask about your make-up, it looks awesome!

I just joined this group. Thought I would say hi. I'm 32, F, working mom of 2 toddler girls. Live with my hubby and mom. Been struggling a lot with weight, well honestly all my life. I have lost 50lbs before I met my hubby but life and babies happened and I would like to drop back down some by Christmas/new years. I put on…

Could you do the trial separation in reverse? Let Devin stay with your boyfriend and have Abby stay home? Maybe give it 2 weeks instead of one for her to adjust. Clean out the boxes with enzyme cleaner after he leaves so it doesn't smell like him, maybe even relocate the box to somewhere new so she doesn't associate it…

Family of 4: just for food: ~$130. Every other week we hit up walmart for other things like cleaning supplies, diapers, toothpaste, etc. That usually runs up to another $100 when we go. I do try to watch for sales and get coupons for stuff I know we like and will eat/use.
