Me too! I'm between 185-190lbs and trying to loose 50lbs

Omg you basically just described me! I'm 5'2, have a 4year old and have been having issues loosing the pregnancy weight. I was down to 160lbs but am back to 180. My food intake isn't perfect but not bad by any means, and I'm always on my feet moving around (I have a home daycare and go to school at night) but yet I'm…

Montreal!

Some great suggestions on here, here are some of my tips/tricks: -Plan ahead: I not only go in with a list but I know what we`re having for every meal and usually plan my week knowing what I need to use up that’s already in the fried. -buy dry not canned: For beans and lentils I buy dry and soak them myself, it’s a little…

Talk to the dr. If he’s worried about her not getting enough nutrients I then definitely agree with the smoothies or juicing option. It’s not high on calories so it may not make a huge dent in her weight but at least you know you’re adding some greens to her diet. A juicer offers more veggie options (spinach/pineapple,…

I found logging my foods useful while bf`ìng because I was able to make sure I wasn’t eating too much or too little. Keep being active, that`ll help prevent depression and try to avoid binge eating, the weight will come off slowly, but it will be slowly.

Think of doing ab exercises not for a flat stomach (because what you eat has a larger role in that) but to gain general core strength and balance which will help prevent injuries in your other workouts.

Love your "plan B" idea, definitely going to borrow that :) Congrats on all your success!

I`m not from the Maritimes, but rather a Montrealer, my husband and I have had many debates about leaving our beautiful city for the maritimes due to provincial politics but work is always the issue. I`ve never had moose or toutons, but we do have our own foods here too such as the famous poutines and cretons!

I could have written this! Feel free to friend me, I’m definitely here with you. One minute I’m ubber motivated, the next I’m exhausted and craving junk! I know that all I have to do is get back into the rythym and then it`ll be easier, but wow is it hard re-starting!

Thank you to everyone that commented, I took a lot of your advice and spoke with my husband. We will be telling my family that we won’t be traveling Christmas day, but that everyone is welcome at our place. I will be making the trek to see everyone during the holidays so that I get to have one on one time with each of them…

We`d go to see family in the afternoon too as kids, but it was always my dad side of the family as my mother doesn’t talk to hers so they never had to manage their time. Also the furthest we travelled was 10 minutes. I don’t have an issue with going to them, my issue is in having to rush our time with them because we`re…

lol, i can sooooo see that happening!

This is what I wish we could do, my husband’s family does the 24th, but because we work and most of them are farmers they have to go to the 9pm mass. So by the time we get there its 7pm and we plan on letting our son stay up til 9pm (if he makes it) then we go home while they continue to celebrate. This is why they want a…

I tried to talk to my dad but he`s the type of person who is afraid to ruffle feathers so he says everything is fine then complains about it to my mom and everyone else. My brother isn’t the only one to tell me he wasn’t happy about the arrangement, my mother did too. My mother isn’t excited about changing the traditions…

I by no means want to spend the holidays without my family, that’s why I gave in and said we`d stop in, I just hate that we won’t get to spend as much time together because I’ll be rushing to go see another family member afterwards. I do like the comment someone made about offering a different day, but I’m afraid that…

I think you nailed it, I want the same as I had as a kid where the morning of Christmas was spent at home just the family. Afterwards there was a party with the extended party, but the morning of was just us. I`ll definitely try to explain that to my dad, I fear that he`s wishing those days were still here and that he…

My brother is an *kitten*, but that’s not new to me. But the fact that I’m ruining xmas for my dad breaks my heart. How does everyone else deal with too many family obligations over the holidays? And still have a xmas for their kids? My poor husband will be driving 6hours in a 24 hour period on his first day off in 15days…

lol, sounds like the Rick Mercer`s `Talking to Americans`episode

I agree with everyone recomending BC, I`m from Montreal personally & it`s beutiful here but the french arent always welcoming so i`d say anywhere in Canada but first choice is BC!

LMAO!!!!!!!!

Although blaming someone else never helps, I do know where you`re coming from. My husband and I have a great relationship except when it involves food. Doing groceries can feel like a battlefield (white or wholegrain bread, 2% or almond milk, etc…) and the inevitable whine I hear after he learns there`s kale or any other…

More and more people are realizing how much more beneficial breastfeeding is to both mom & baby, these benefits often attribute to exclusively breastfed babies being sick less often (this does not mean a BF baby won’t get sick, so please don’t jump all over that statement). This may be the reason for the government…

I was the same way as a child, drove my parent nuts because they were of the generation where you had to have on your plate a protein, starch, and a vegetable (steak, potato, peas). Never liked meat though and became a vegetarian an my teens. Now my son seems to be the same (my husband eats meat and so he`s tried to feed…

So true isnt it! I`m looking to restart my weight loss after a few way too short attempts too. Would love the support. Wasnt planning on doing the 30day shred as i can only do that at home when my lil one is asleep, was instead planning on hitting the gym on my lunch hour, but can try to do the shred the days i miss the…

i see a big difference in the mid-section! Congrats btw

Thanks, will try it this weekend, may even add in some cucumber and whatever else inspires me!
