Same boat as you. 10 weeks postpartum and the heaviest I've ever been. bump

I'm up to 166.2. Up .2 Not thrilled, not disapointed...more in the weeks to come! :D

Weekends are tough for me too- I love to unwind with alcohol, but it unfortunately leads to me eating crappy food! On Sunday, I plan to get groceries for my lunch in the coming week, and prep everything so that I eat well. It's the one thing that guarantees ill be eating nutritious food at work. I slice veggies and fruit,…

I'm a late-starter, so consider this my first weight-in! 166.0

Hi everyone- nice to meet you all :) I am joining this challenge a week late... but better late than never! I have been using MFP for two years, and was able to lose 20+ pounds doing a similar challenge two years ago. I'm really hoping that this group is what I need to get motivated again. I've recently joined a…

I gained weight during the two years that I was on Effexor. I was able to lose all of it when I went on Celexa. Wellbutrin made me manic and I was only able to take it for about 10 days. Everyone is different. :)

Well, first let me congratulate you for making it through the withdrawl. I spent two years taking 20mg Citalopram, and although it was a "lifesaver" for me, I have been trying to wean off of it for just over 3 moths now. I hope to be completely off of it within a few weeks time. I am also having a tough time getting to…

I also like the Under Armour. Pricey, but worth it. I'm a D but squeeze into the C for the extra support. :)

I have to rotate the band from one arm to the other as the metal makes my skin very itchy. The worst case was red blisters on my upper left arm. Today, I've switched it to my upper right leg- not sure if this was a good idea or not because I've registered a much higher amount of vigorous activity today...

I contacted customer service and they reset my password for me. This, however, was not the problem. I had to update my ios on my iphone. BMF staff weren't the ones to figure it out- my computer-savy boyfriend was!

I've contacted BMF via email and will update the post when the issue is resolved. :)

I enjoyed the Kettleworx DVD's.... I got them from a friend so I'm not sure how much they are. I tried the Jillian Michaels DVD but much preffered Kettleworx. You could also try youtube?

That's 1 gram/lb of goal weight, correct? ^^ ^^ ^^ It's a good ballpark, without complicating things too much. The fiber goal is also set quite low-. I've read elsewhere that women under 50 should consume 25 grams of fiber per day, rather than 14.

Cottage cheese!

This is and will always be my favorite chili recipe- you won't even miss the meat!

I picked up some PB2 the other day and it is delicious with banana and milk, smoothie style!

Melatonin & or Valerian Root an hour before bedtime!

There is nothing fake about stevia. It is a naturally sweet herb that it 30 times sweeter than sugar.

Have you tried stevia?

This one is hands down our favorite vegan chili :)...you wont even miss the beef! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-vegetarian-chili-in-the-world/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=the%20best%20vegetarian%20chili&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page

I didn't lose any weight both times that I completed the C25K running program- but did notice that my pants felt looser and my core was tighter. Measuring is your best bet. :)

Best hummus if you like spicy food. Even better after a few days. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/jalapeno-hummus/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=jalapeno%20hummus&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page

Why hello there ;) Great dedication!

Green tea with stevia sweetener. I use Krisda stevia and it is delicious!

Make your own? Citrus juice and sea salt.... they seem to be the common ingredients in the recipes I was able to find. :)

Hi Sadie! I burn about 200/20 minutes.... it's a really great workout and the DOMS is killer!

Iodine- as recommended by a naturopath. Yick- I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!

I followed the Kettleworx DVD's this past winter and whew- what a workout! You'll be sore for days! Highly recommend KB's.
