  • When I lose weight I'll just be a smaller version of what I am now...which is looking like I'm about 4-5 months preggo. Been there. My mom has the belly, my grandma has the belly...I've come to terms with the presence of the belly. I could probably torture myself trying to get rid of it, but...nah. I've had 2 kids and…
    in Woman Belly... Comment by cherryb75 February 2012
  • I loved the old Points plan. It was my go-to when I needed to drop a few pounds and it always worked. I could use it with minimal effort--I could look at a nutrition label and know approximately how many Points something was without even looking it up. I guess I still could, if it came to that, but since there's MFP,…

  • If I didn't track calories, I'd eat. Everything. I'm not sure what's so stressful about it, but then it's the only way I've ever known to drop some pounds.

I can't have that because I have a toddler to chase after. I made myself start doing 30 minutes a day at a light pace, or at least every other day. Now I'm up to 45…

  • Back when I did Weight Watchers and reached goal, they allowed you to bank any unused Points, but you had to use them within the week. So I still take that approach here. I usually have leftover calories so I don't sweat it if hubby and I want to go out and splurge on Mexican food on Friday night. In fact I usually have a…

  • I've been overweight since my second child, but nothing really motivated me until we went on our first vacation in years last summer and I could hardly even take a walk on the beach w/my hubby. I want to be in better shape by this summer. I've been hitting my stationary bike more regularly for a few months, but didn't…

  • OMG. I'm afraid to bring any of this into my house; I would eat the whole freaking box, I swear. But it sounds sooooo good.
