I don't think I will be able to achieve a thigh gap with this diet tho :sad:

I tend to wait till they start stocking their things at places like Walmart etc but I'm from canada and always leery about the extra shipping charges and afraid of customs/ other duties that tend to get tagged on top of it...

This I understand, I get weird reactions to stuff like that sometimes too. I'm more thinking about the gross people who just can't be bothered too yuck. I always keep my paper towel to touch the handles with to open the door too. I also keep hand sanitizer with me for the places that inevitably run out of soap as well…

So this!! Would it kill you to take a couple minutes to wash your hands people!!! Even my 4 yr old always washes her hands after going to the bathroom!!

No wonder moms have such a hard time losing the baby weight!! Stinky little buggers :wink: I know I'm always hungrier when I don't get enough sleep (which happens alot) especially in the afternoon or evening when my energy levels tend to crash the hardest...

I was going to say NO but I was thinking it was the other kind of action :laugh: I have a few good ones and I try to comment and cheer my friends on when I get a chance.

Gotta love the fiber!! :wink:

I changed mine to track my iron intake instead. I'm more interested in making sure I'm getting enough of that then the fact that an apple is half my 'daily' allowance of sugar lol...

There is a group on here dedicated to this that has alot of helpful stuff on it as well :)

Good thing the now gun toting teachers didn't decide to take action!! I am another one who isn't sure if I should laugh or cry.... I also want a dang pop tart!! Kids will be kids let them be!!!!

Ahh good old doctors in canada lol. Functional strength training is all about training your muscles for doing things you do on a daily basis rather then with heavy weights etc. (best way I can think to describe it I am by no means an expert lol). Yoga is a great way to train functional strength and core strength. If you…

The main thing that is going to determine how much the loose tummy skin shrinks back is genetics. So if lifting heavy isn't an option for you there is nothing wrong with incorporating light resistance training or function strength training to maintain muscle. Maybe you should look into body weight training (you are your…

. Great attitude!! Good luck reaching your goals!!

Bumping b/c I'm curious

Water retention in your muscles. Don't worry about the scale too much crazy fluctuations on a daily basis are normal. Eta: others can probably give you a better description but that is the basic reasoning behind it lol.

I find that really interesting that the rates are different over there, you think it would be a kind of acknowledged norm everywhere lol. I'm trying not to focus too much on the scale and just eating when I've been hungry and have felt the need to and the days when I do track have actually ended up being pretty close to…

I'm up 18 pounds at 28 weeks. Like 10 pounds in the last month. But alot of that is from water retention (not making excuses lol) I just tend to swell alot and get really puffy in the last trimester, it's been like that with both my other pregnancies as well... *sigh* at least I know it will come off pretty quick when baby…

If I exercise at night I tend to be wide awake for 3 or 4 hours after so it is def a no-no if I want to get any sleep... That even includes yoga lol but I'm also a horrendous sleeper to begin with

Ug it drives me bonkers. So not fair lol. My hubby recently lost 20 pounds without even trying :grumble: and the 2 times I've lost weight while we've been together (both times from pregnancy gains) I have had to bust my butt and watch my diet like crazy. We've never done it together though, I think that kind of support…

Wow that was seriously only 5 pounds?!? Totally amazing difference, way to go girl!!!

My newest favorite is cucumber and dill dressing... I tend to stay away from creamy dressings but I love this stuff and I think it would be awesome with salmon, may just have to try it myself tonight lol.

I tend not to really count sugar unless it's added sugar in junk foods. I refuse to feel bad about eating fruit etc b/c it has natural sugar in it and I'm pretty much always over the mfp recommendations... ETA: unless you are really trying to cut and be crazy fit the sugar in natural foods shouldn't really hinder weight…

Ripped in 30 has 4 levels. 30 day shred has 3. 30 days shred meant do spend 10 days on each level. Ripped in 30 you are meant to spend a week (5-6 days) on a level. :)

I see flaming diapers of baby poop on his doorstep

You guys are all totally my heros!!! I've always hated everything about myself sad but true but I am working on loving myself and learning to look beyond my body as my worth...

After my first it took about a year before I got down to the weight I wanted and probably another couple months even after that for the skin to really start tightening up again. After my second I was around 10 pounds of my goal weight by a year but got pregnant again so not really sure how my body was going to bounce back…

I've been kinda curious about this too. It seems to me that when they use calipers that they pinch up and measure what's under the skin not the skin itself so much. But like the other poster said even if its not 100% right on it gives you a general base to go by so you can tell if you are at least reducing body fat...

Awe that's too bad. Hope you get it figured out and I'd be happy to be a friend :). I guess just be really anal about measuring your food for like a week or two till you really get a hang of how much a serving is and what the calorie count is etc. I know I tend to eat more then I think I am sometimes and dont even really…

If you are breast feeding for alot of people I can make them hold onto weight rather then losing it. (I know it did with me both times even following a healthy diet and exercising). If that's the case just hang in there, if not I'm not really sure once I stopped bf my weight loss went back normal...

I usually do that when I'm sitting in the car waiting for hubby to do something and get bored lol.
