The worst thing you can do is try to make up the difference by eating less for a week. So get back on track, make sure you're eating the right amount of nutrients, and you may find that it doesn't affect your weight at all. Make sure to drink your water, too. I've had this happen several times and ended up losing more…

It is hard, but it does get easier. You will get to a point where you still have the urge, you eat the whatever you're not supposed to have, and it doesn't help you feel better at all, in fact now you don't feel well on top of it. Then you know your body has broken the addiction and once that food doesn't satisfy anymore,…

Sit down, breathe! Meditate, relax, drink some decaf tea or something. Listen to some music, give yourself a facial, something just for you, something relaxing. Tomorrow is a different day. :flowerforyou:

In the beginning I lost 10-12 pounds a month for 3-4 months. And I wasn't overdoing it in any sense of the imagination in the beginning, I would walk on a treadmill SLOW 3x/wk for 30 mins. But I had over 100 pounds to lose, so it was ok for my body at that time. Once I dropped that weight, and was down the 40 some pounds,…

I've seen in this process that my body goes thru changes when it comes to cravings, and that some are physical, and some are mental. I was a real chocoholic and carbaholic, and the first couple of weeks were tough, but now I don't crave the things like I used to. The physical ones are easier to break, because after your…

Oh hon.... don't stress about the future, you'll just waste more energy on "what ifs". Trust me, I'm a big one on what ifs and have wasted a lot of my life worrying about things that might come. And guess what - most of those things DID happen - but did worrying about them ahead of time change anything? Nope, just made me…

bee, i wasn't talking about you! :smile: you post daily, i think, or most days. but there's a whole group of people who used to post all the time and no longer do... so was wondering what was up, if they're just reading and not posting, in which case hopefully they'll answer, or maybe they've just stopped using MFP…

morning, team. most people seem to be not posting daily, hopefully things will pick up soon? just a few of us posting daily now. why? busy? no longer interested? fell off the wagon? pls tell us why you're not posting. just so we don't take it personally. :wink: started logging my food again, been forgetting but feel that…

Known her for roughly 6 years - haven't seen her stop yet!!! :laugh:

ugh the boys are giving me a headache with their screaming and fighting! 2 more days till one of them starts school, then the next day another one goes for 1/2 day, then the following week all 3 will be going on Wed!!! can i survive the last week before school???

It can be a couple of things, definitely not enough fiber and healthy fats can do this to you, and also when your metabolism goes thru a change, but it should wear off after a few days. Try just eating things like celery sticks, watermelon, stuff that fills you up physically but isn't a huge calorie thing. I eat a lot of…

Yeah I've been MIA since being sick. Started feeling myself again late last night but couldn't get to sleep from sleeping all day, so then i only got a few hours nap this morning and my schedule's all messed up. But I've been reading, just not posting, the past few days. Back on track now. School starts for 1 of my guys on…

didn't weigh this morning, forgot. dangit! with not eating for 2 days I must have lost weight, right? still sick but the fever has come on so hopefully that means its working it's way out of my body. ate something for lunch and it actually stayed put. so that's a bonus. never actually knew my stomach was so high in my body…
-
hey all. just wanted to check in and let u know i'm sick today. guess no worries about going over on calories today... will post when i'm better. hubby thinks i have swine flu. he's just a little bit overdramatic at times....

hurray pawprint! and bee, there's nothing wrong with "maintaining" either.

Can you get rid of it without surgery? Maybe. Will it be perfectly flat and toned after having a baby? Probably not. But you should be able to make it a lot better. It will take a lot of time. Look up ab workouts on the internet, and work on your core. Pilates Abs, weight training, etc. You need to tone those muscles and…

Hello, friends. I am happy to report that I drank all my water today, first time in forever! But I'm wiped out too, maybe from not sleeping a night, or just stress, dunno, but took a nap this afternoon. Feeling out of it still. But at least I drank my water - one goal met today! We're trying to buy the house we live in,…
-
welcome magnes! u r officially on THE Team! Please post a little about yourself, your goals, etc. Well I finally got to sleep last night - about 1 am! What's up with that??? I think it was stress, this time, since I shyed away from caffeine yesterday. It was so funny last night, after dinner I told my hubby "I'm off duty"…

There's definitely a balance. You can lower your carbs for health reasons, but it has to be a permanent state in order for you not to gain the weight back and then some. The only way to lose weight is to eat within your calories. That's goal #1. If you are a carb addict (I was) it will take roughly 2 weeks for your body to…

protein, fiber and fat make you feel fuller longer, so make sure you have adequate servings of that in your lunch to get you thru the afternoon. also, take some veggie strips, like green pepper, cucumber, etc. to munch on during those times as you work thru them. At least you're putting something good in your mouth if…

when are you eating and what are you eating? You should be eating about every 2 hours to get your metabobolism up... it does sound like low blood sugar. Publish your food diary and we can take a look at it and give you suggestions. Recommended processed sugar for an adult is not to exceed 40g/day. Not sure what yours is…

Doesn't it show up in your most recent posts? Or maybe cuz you haven't posted? can you search by "THE team and the current week? Just some thoughts.

Ok so did you know that sun tea is LOADED with caffeine? Hubby and I were both up all night. What idiots! Pop doesn't do this to me, at least not to this degree... so here it is, 5:30 am, and I haven't been to sleep yet. Too bad I planted 12 hour crops before realizing I wasn't sleeping tonight! I could have totally cashed…

This is not a diet. This is not "eat nothing and lose the weight". This is a lifestyle change. If you use the information on this website, you can lose weight and keep it off. It's not a quick fix. Good luck. Read thru the "all newbies must read" stickies in the community, and in particular, the one on expectations. Also…

ugh. screwed up today. didn't drink ANY water (hubby made sun tea and I LOVE sun tea, been drinking that all day), had some bad snacks (Rice Krispie treats x3 for the day) AND I forgot to change my trainer appt till later. UGH!!! Was pretty much out of it most of the day, with the migraine lingering. Have a really, really…

Morning, ya'll. May not have gotten all my water in yesterday, but I will do better today and start right now. Well, after I finish my diet coke, anyway (ran out of diet pepsi, haven't gone to the store yet...will take what i can get right now!) i had the strangest "movie" dream last night, i woke up 3x and went back to…
-
oh man NOW you tell me! thinking about it though, makes sense, oil on the feet... slept most of the day, first sleeping in, then got up in the afternoon, developed a bad headache... drugged up now with migraine med (the fact that it worked means it must actually be a migraine, which I didn't think it was). horrible to have…
-
OK so here I am breaking my own request again... went to a "girls night" at a friends house, we did girly stuff with foot baths and waxing and parrafin... it was so fun! Man those women are crazy! I got home at 4 am and it was only a 5 min drive home!! I couldn't believe I stayed out all night!! But I just laughed and…
-
That is exactly me. (I kept thinking people would say, what the heck are you doing over in THIS section??) I keep going back to another store, trying on the same size, and saying "really? it really fits?" That's why I did so much "shopping" (not buying) a few weeks ago, I just couldn't believe the size I was getting into.…
