I use the scale to tell me if I need more water. Fluctuation is usually me needing more water, I need to poo, or I'm getting ready for TOM.

My family gets to eat what I eat...they need to learn healthy habits now. I have 5 kids & the hubby. Ages 2-18 (well, the hubby is older, lol). I've learned if they are hungry, they will eat what I cooked ;) now, most would rather have brocolli over fries in my house & they are learning to diversify their taste of food.

Sounds like you aren't getting enough "good" oils & not enough water. Also, a good herbal tea every couple of days keeps things moving without having to push out "rocks" lol ;) Make sure you're eating enough healthy oils (olive oil, fish oils) I've noticed when o eat right if I don't eat my oils & get lots of water...I get…

I don't ...a person needs a tsp everyday just to maintain...just don't go wild. If you're craving some salt...eat a pickle.

Green tea and some Silk Soy milk....yum

I've always had a problem having bm's until I found an herbal tea that miraculously makes me go every morning :) I drink 1 glass in the evening & by morning when I get up...woohoo,party in the potty, lol. No cramping either. I've tried everything from mirilax, prunes, fiber. The tea is what does it for me.

Greygoose & cranberry juice with lime mmmmm

My husband does support me, actually he tries to watch he eats as well. We do go out & eat a lot, but its always my choice as to where so that we go somewhere I can eat ;) I think, personally that even with losing weight one shouldn't keep his or herself "kept away." You have to learn how to be able to go out in public &…

Meat: fish...love salmon & talapia Fruit: Cuties oranges Veggie: fresh baby spinach What I COULD live without: Meat: any kind of red meat Fruit: pineapple Veggie: beets....eeeewww

@emma do you take meds or had an ablation to help slow it down? I did/am. Now I get the pleasure of going in for a heart cath next week because something is right. Be careful please!

Normal resting is 70-80. Mine is never normal.m.I have tachycardia so even with meds & ablation my heart beats faster.

I forgot to say...I still eat the WW Smart Ones meals...yummy! And am easy way to log my calories

I used to swear by WW but sadly once they changed their points to points plus it didn't work as well for me & I hated it. I guess everyone is different. It is great for helping you learn how to eat correctly...but so is MFP. I'm doing better with MFP & a food reminder as to snacks & meal time ;) good luck whatever you…

Feel free to add me. I struggle every day to even get close to 1200 & that is with snacks & breakfast.

"Spanx" are great for pulling "things" in ;) or a Boob job will give you a little curve...for your butt that horrid butt exercise dir your butt with weights. You loose the fat but build the muscle ;)

When you are better & resume your jumping jacks....sounds like you need a better supporting bra ;) all that jostling around...MUST support the "girls"

Awsome job!

Today it's just the kids and I. most of the kids are older (teenagers) so they would rather play on their iPods or Playstations or the Wii or XBox. Needless to say, they only come out to talk to me when they want something. So, it's just the 2yr old and me. My husband is a locomotive engineer. He went out to work last…
