Way to Go!!!!

Mine was also about 6lbs. Three day conference followed by graduation party with lots of good food. Getting back on track this week.

Everyone has a rough weekend and gets off track. Just don't beat yourself up over it and just concentrate on today. I usually do a terrible job of logging on my weekends. Gonna get back on track this week.

With both my kids, I worked out pretty much the same as I did before I got pregnant right up until (and with my first child - past) my due date. I mostly did step aerobics, just didn't go as high impact. I kept up the abs classes as well, just didn't lay on my back after about the 5th month. I would think that toning…

Have you been logging your food? Your diary is set to private so I can't view to see what your meals are like. Look at the amount of sodium as well. If you have been eating out a lot, you may be getting a lot of sodium which can cause you to retain water. Make sure that you are drinking all your water. and like others…

Even if he hasn't cheated physically, he has still cheated emotionally, mentally and visually. As others said - communication. You need to talk this out - counseling may also be needed if you intend to stay together.

We all eat the same. I try to make most everything as healthy as possible. My son (18 yr old) would actually prefer to snack on carrots and eat a salad than to eat chips and candy. My daughter is getting better about it as well. I try not to buy chips or soda unless we are going to a social gathering and we need to grab…

I have been through P90X 1 and a half times. My husband was actually the one ordered it (and he didn't quite make it through). I didn't have much weight to lose, but lost a lot of inches. I use the bands (even though we have a pullup bar) and have some hand weights. That's all you really need. We didn't get the…

Ripped in 30 is not difficult -coordination-wise, but you will really feel the workouts. The cardio sets are pretty basic, but they really work you. I have many Denise Austin videos that would be good for beginners as well.

Great job!!! Keep it up!!

I haven't done 30DS but I have done RI30 and agree with the above. I add weights to the workouts as well. Great workout.

since there is no "like" button on MFP people put "bump" so they can find a particular topic later.

I just have Zumba 2 for Wii. I get water during the small breaks. I think you can pause (pressing B or home on the remote). I do think the graphics are a little dull, but I love the fact that it gives you some type of confirmation that it is registering your movements.

Great job!!! You look amazing!!

I had friends in the same situation. One couple - it took 10 years of trying and then they finally had a child. They did try for a second child but after a few years, stopped trying. 10 years after the first child she got pregnant and they had their second child. Second couple - trying, saw fertility specialists, etc. Took…

I am in the same boat. I lose inches off my chest but can't lose them off my hips and butt.

Congratulations - you look great!!!

It depends on the person and like others have said, every pregnancy is different. I had my two when I was 26 and 28. I got married at age 22 and the families started asking almost immediately. It got worse when my sister-in-law got pregnant. My MIL thinks that is why I got pregnant when I did, but my husband and I had…

I would suggest a dietician. I would stay away from Nutrisystem or something where you eat their food as it doesn't help you eat regular foods on your on. My dad lost weight on one of these programs but as soon as he stopped eating their food, he gained it all back. My dad also has Type 2 diabeties (diagnosted about 20 yrs…

Great Job!!!! I am happy for your success.

I have Zumba 2 as well and love it. I have found that you definitely have to have the belt on correctly and make sure the you put the remote in the right way. Once I corrected that, I haven't had a problem with stars lighting. You will know you are doing correctly (or it is getting the signal from the remote) when on the…

Working in the yard, pool, driving to a model shoot, finishing up some tax returns.

Must only be two of us Bruins fans on here. Didn't get to watch the game (although my siblings keep me updated).

Amazing results!!! Way to go!!! I would definitely wear the bikini out.

Maybe get up ealier in the mornings (I am not a morning person so I know this can be tough). Or maybe workout after they are in bed. Or workout during lunch as others have said. I have done all three (gym had showers and I was able to be gone hour + so I could take a quick shower). I find that if I get up in the mornings,…

I used to not eat breakfast at all and not eat much until noon or later. I had read that to help lose weight that you should be eating something for breakfast. It may not work for everyone, but I didn't really begin to lose weight until after I started to eat something in the morning (and I had been eating pretty good and…

I like this one. My daughter was making Key Lime pie and it called for egg yolks (no whites). I was making a cheesecake so instead of using the whole egg, I just used the egg whites so they wouldn't be wasted. Did a little to lower the calories in the cheesecake.

I agree with what others have said. Make sure that you eat breakfast - something that I used to not do. It made a difference in how I felt in the morning (gave me more energy) and helped space my calories out during the day.
