Mine will be 3 in December. Make her sit in the stroller, you're the mom LOL. Could you maybe stop at a gym on your way home from or on the way to work? Or have her do workout videos with you. I don't know, I work full time and am a single mom and find time to work out, and I know people far busier than me who do also, so…

Food Scale. People need to understand to lose weight you do not have to exercise. Exercise is for fitness. Yes it increases your deficit, but it starts in the kitchen. You are either overestimating exercise (yes HRM's are great, but they are still just an estimate), or you are underestimating food. A new food scale is more…

I didn't do cry it out at 6 days. He automatically slept through the night. I had to start cry it out when he moved from a bassinet into a crib. But I don't really listen to "the experts" anyway, since the views on what is best for a child change every year or so. But yes, my child, my decision, hence why I was saying no…

Love the responses telling someone what not to do and how terrible this and that are. As for people opposed to CIO, that's for you to decide for you and your own children. But it does not make someone a bad mom if they choose to do CIO. Just like someone is not a bad mom if they don't co sleep, breastfeed, or baby carry.…

Just read through this entire thread and you are amazing!! You really listened to what Sara and Sidesteel had to say, and your results show it. Good job :) You inspired me!!

The answer someone already provided was correct. Not much more to say :)

The only way to make an actual change is to be consistent. Plus, you don't have to walk to lose weight. It has to do with calories in vs. calories out. So that means you are eating too much. If walking is too much of a burden right now then just focus on the food side. You will get results. Excuses will get you nowhere.

Feel free to add me :) I log every day and am encouraging!! I notice my friends dropping off on the encouragement too :(

7 out of 7.....This just made me happy :)

If you open a cabinet door, then get what you want, don't leave it open afterwards. Come on. I hate walking into a kitchen and 14 cabinet doors are open...LAZY! That and load the dishwasher. It isn't the hard. I promise you can do it.

Bump!

One jelly bean? Was that a joke?

I was discussing this with someone the other day, I am the exact same! I could go all day on the weekend and not eat and be fine (i don't do this though). On the other hand, at work, I bring breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack. And i attribute that to being bored. That's the only thing I can think of !

I live in Crestwood Kentucky...small but I love it :)

A protected class?!? You think fat people should be a protected class?? WOW. We made ourselves overweight. And we can do something to change it. Overweight people do not need to be protected, they need to make changes. End of story.

This is making me laugh. People are conspiracy theorists. Have a healthy diet, exercise more, have a deficit and lose some weight. Cholesterol will go down. "Detoxinating the liver" ....wow

How do posts that ask if you want to "lick, bite, hump, or kick" get so many replies, but important ones don't lol. Makes me laugh

I'm 5'3 and weigh 130. I eat 2000 to 2200. I'd be starving if I ate less. I don't know how people survive on 1200 calories and not eating back exercise calories. Good luck OP!!!

Please ignore this. Not correct at all. And don't juice, come on now, eat your food. Ah...people...really.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819055-setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets I'm going to give you that link :) We are friends so I can see your diary and you do eat pretty well, not enough in my opinion, but what you do eat is good! You may want to get in a little more protein. I was stalled at the same weight,…

I'm a full time working single mom, not that many people on here work out hours on end. We all have busy lives. That being said, it's one week. Don't weigh yourself every day. Make sure you're eating the right amount. And watch your macros. I was stuck at the same weight for 3 months. One week in the grand scheme of things…

Anyone can add me :) I am 5'3 Highest Weight (pregnant) I think 225 (honestly, i didn't weigh the day I went in to have him bc I was embarassed!) Starting Weight: 180 Current Weight : 132 Goal Weight -129 ( I had achieved this, then the holidays hit, AHH)

Bump

I've got a healthy eats and healthy treats board. And a recipes to make again board. My user name is brizoeller

I make sure I have enough calories for a snack after dinner. I can't imagine going to bed just because I was avoiding food, that sounds terrible. The whole "don't eat after 7 pm" myth will get you nowhere except in a war with the clock. Eat whenever you feel like it, stick within your calories and macros, and you'll be…

Anyone can add me, I'm a single working mom of a 2 year old little boy. I'm very active on here and love to support my friends :)

You're in a group text message and send one and no one replies, you then type "bump" in as a way to get someone to say something. The only person in the message who understands is the other mfp'er. Guilty.

I think people are trying to point out that YES it is only ONE meal. Leftovers are another story. But everyone freaking out is ridiculous. It is that unhealthy relationship with food that got us here in the first place. Quit being afraid of it. Use portion control and your best judgement, but it is true that one bad meal,…

Go to an Al Anon meeting ASAP. You cannot change their behavior or their actions. You didn't cause it, can't control it, or cure it. When/if they want to get help they will. But you can't be intertwined with their recovery. Learn to set healthy boundaries and take care of yourself first.
