You are AWESOME. Way to go! :flowerforyou:

I am having this issue start just now, when I am 2 pounds away from goal, so for me it isn't a honeymoon period. I work out 7 days a week too.....I am hungry in the morning, but it seems as if lunch and dinner are harder for me.

Agreed, this is what happened to me at first. It picked up and then BAM, lost weight fast.

Awww, thank you. I could have written this post word for word in regards to my Grandma and older Aunt that lives with her :mad: I get great joy from my patients.

I am a hospice volunteer, although I am on baby leave right now. I get assigned 1 patient that I go and visit once a week and spend an hour or so with, depending on how they are feeling. We watch TV, read books, talk, hold hands, etc. On special days like holidays or their birthday I will go out and by them a special treat…

You are LUCKY :smile: Breastfeeding did not help me lose weight at all, I had to work my butt off to lose the baby weight. For some reason, i lose weight faster when I stop breastfeeding!

Hi and welcome aboard! I am 5'2" and am almost to goal. You definitely can do it. Best of luck!

Looks great to me, good choices!

love. this. thread.

Congrats! Feels good, huh :smile:

Such a difference, your hard work and commitment really show. You GO girl!

I am down 27 pounds and went from a 12 to a 6. I guess everybody is different where they lose it. Don't feel discouraged, you are doing great!

Great ideas, thanks for sharing!

WOW! Look at you......you look amazing! Congrats!

I gained 65 pounds with my last pregnancy, I know the feeling :sad:

Agreed. After having 5 kids, and being within 4 pounds of my goal weigh, my saggy tummy is loose skin that will never go away. I go in tomorrow for a consult for a tummy tuck.

I'm in SoCal :smile: Welcome and best of luck!

Funny you mention that, I used to hate exercise and now I crave it.

Breakfast: hard boiled egg, oatmeal and a handful of blueberries Lunch: Egg white omelette, salad and non-fat cottage cheese Snack: Low fat cheese stick and blackberries Dinner: 1/2 cup of brown rice, 4 ounces of lean meat, salad, steamed zucchini and mushrooms. Snack: soy chips and a teaspoon of peanut butter

How about some quick cardio? Jumping jacks, running in place, windmills, crunches. Just do in a rotation for 20 mins.

You go girl, you can do it! And yes, your Hubby can lend you some time for you!

Welcome aboard! I am a mom of 5 kids, with my youngest being 10 months and my oldest being 11. Most of the time, during the week, I exercise after they are all in bed. Yeah, it's late and I am tired, but I have to do it because being healthy is important to me. On the weekends, with my Hubby home, I exercise while he…

I don't worry about going over my sugars as long as it is only from fruits and veggies. All other sugars, yeah I think it is a big deal.

Not Filipino, but I make adobo. Use equal parts soy sauce and vinegar. Add some chopped garlic, bay leaves and ground pepper, I simmer it all day. :smile:

I am sorry you are having to deal with an over-bearing friend. Sometimes, you just have to tell people to back off a bit. Let her know that you heard her the first time and she doesn't need to harp. You are doing great, you have lost 22 pounds. Keep it up!

I just took a quick peek at your diary, and I can see the following: -You skip some meals. Try to eat at every meal time and add snacks in. -Some times you are over alot in sodium and sugar. Try to watch that, sodium is evil in large amounts. If the sugars are from fruits and veggies try not to worry about them as much.…

I wouldn't be too discouraged yet, you just started 3 days ago. If you feel comfortable, open up your diary so we can help you out on your food choices. Sometimes it takes the body a couple of weeks to jump start.

No you don't drink them back, you steam them back LOL

L M A O! I heart you for posting this :tongue:

Don't give up Hun, you CAN do this. You know the old saying, it doesn't matter if you fall, what matters is that you get back up! We are here to support you!
