Just jump right back on the saddle and ride it through

I think we've all been there. Okay well, even if you get 10 minutes a day it will help. Push ups, sit ups, squats, lunges. dumbbell curls. The basics. No need for fancy equipment or DVDs.

You can add me. I need some more motivational friends

You can never have too many friends. so of course

Maybe I missed it somewhere. Why can't you go to the gym? Most gyms have daycare facilities so pack up the toddler and go to the gym for an hour. You can lose weight while being sedentary but it takes a lot longer. I bought a treadmill as I too live in the tundra. lol. I just put on my earbuds and ignore everyone for 45…

awesome job

baby steps. Just set a goal and slowly make your way there. don't get off track when you disappoint yourself. I would start by cutting out or at least limiting "junk food" Don't keep anything unhealthy in the house. If you want something that bad you will have to out and get it. that for me a detourant. lol. Know that it…

As I learned not too long ago. You have to want it. Not just the weight loss but the healthy body. You have to really want to change. It's a lifestyle and I am fully commited yes I have bad choice days but I get right back at and log good or bad. that's the only way you will ever stick to it.

Good luck and motivation is key. I love my MFP friends they really help. You can add me if you like.

You look amazing. Great work. You should be proud

Let's do this. I love MFP for all the support and motivation to keep me going. Add me if you like

Great job!!!

Hi James. Welcome to your new life!!

That my son is 21 this year.

Absolutely. Muscle repair retains water.

Everyday is a new start. I have the same problem. I am trying to no longer beat myself up when this happens. I just keep on trucking.

You can try a couple things. Drink more water. try to cut out refined carbs. Even just for a week and see if it makes a difference. So things like bread, pasta. anything that is not in its natural state. get your carbs from potatoes and rice instead, up your calories by 500 for a week. This worked well for me in the past.

You look amazing. Congrats!!

The only thing I noticed when I tried it was that it makes you "feel" better. I did read somewhere that it increases your bodies serotonin levels so it could possibly de-rail stress eating. As far as making me less hungry didn't happen. I also take coQ10 which I think is much better for your pocket book. I think I feel…

YOU CAN ADD ME I LOVE THE MOTIVATION AND SUPPORT I GET FROM MY MFP FRIENDS

You can do this! It's a complete lifestyle change and I applaud you for your efforts. Keep up the great work! You can add me if you like I can always add more support to my circle.

Think of it as a lifestyle change not a weight loss journey. You cannot go back to old eating habits ever!! So you need to make healthy replacement habits and stay the course.

Wow you sound exactly like me. I know I will get a lot of slack for this but I bought a book called The Primal Blueprint. I did stick to it for about a month and lost 12 pounds. I slacked a bit due to stress and just feeling sorry for myself and it back plus a few pounds. But it was the only thing that actually worked for…

Gives great advice

I am more upset that I am more carb sensitive than most people. Which seems to be genetic

try measuring yourself instead.

I'm in. I always need a good kick in the butt. lol

You can add me. I always need some motivating friends.

Manitoba here!!
