Thats the way to do it. Good for baby when you do conceive to have a healthy diet. Right!!

Its really about portions and eating mostly lean proteins lots of veggies and fruits and occasionally having treats. I still eat pasta ( white) oh god I know and potatoes I just dont eat them all the time. Pasta once a week and potatoes maybe 2x a week but a smaller portion. I had garlic mashed potatoes last night it was…

I think if you eat mostly clean you dont HAVE to count. Some like to do it thats cool but for me I dont anymore. It was helpful in the beginning to see where I was starting. But I have done it for months and I dont find the need anymore. I know it doesnt take long I just dont feel like it. I stock my fridge with fruits,…

IIm guessing they both are wrong. MFP for me is always higher. But I dont really care what the number says. I eat on the higher end anyways so its all gooood!! Maybe get a hrm or something.

I eat "bad" stuff everyday. LOL. I just aim not to eat as much of the sweety goodness like I used to. I have a limit. Most days I am under my calories or close to it so I figure that is just fine. I am eating plenty of veggies and good proteins most of the time and Im losing weight. I dont really call it a cheat tho. I…

No way. Homemade better. You can use a smaller meat portion and load up on tons of veggies. I dont like frozen meals because of the small veggie portions. I love my veggies can you tell.

First off good for you for breastfeeding. I don't even count calories while I am breastfeeding. I drink lots of water, eat good sources of protein, lots of fruits and veggies. I make sure I am eating something every couple hours. I used to grab an apple and some crackers or cheese or a something...anything and put it on my…

I picked one that was between 22 and 23 bmi. Also it was a weight I felt was healthy when I was there. I was about a size7/8 back then. ehh Idk. If I have to reevaluate I will but Im sticking with it. Im 5'6 so I think 140 would be very healthy without being too skinny.

Will you be able to stick with 1300 for a good long while. Probably not. Change it to 1lb a week. I would guess that would put you closer to 1500. 1300 will do you no good if you eventually burn out. Its a gradual process.

Eliptical. I cant do treadmill ankle issues and the bike kinda bores me. Also the pool is nice.

I tend to get so stressed i dont want to eat. Def not ideal. Breathing exercises sometimes can help.

look at clearance racks. craigslist. church sales. etc. Maybe just buy a few pair and you could resell them on ebay if you wanted to. Marshalls and kohls my 2 fav places to shop. I only buy sale items. Remember you just need a few pieces to get you by.

spaghetti squash... yuck. I have never tried kale. I love spinach I dont like change so I dont wanna try it. LOL.

Ask yourself are you truly hungry? Or are you just bored, thirsty, tired etc...

Exercise no matter how small is really good for you. Sometimes I only lift once a week sometimes 3 it depends on how busy I get. Once you do it and after some weeks in you see your body changing you will wonder why you didnt include exercise from the start. You dont really need to do cardio seeing how you walk so much in…

I dont eat there often not because I think im too good for it. LOL But because it hurts my belly pretty bad afterwards. I do like the milkshakes breakfast burritos are I can handle. Other than that I cant really eat anything else there.

I dont think he did. Its icecream most people like to enjoy a scoup or two. You really do need to figure out a way to control your portions. You already lost 60 you know how to do it just keep at it. Keep the house stocked with your healthy treats. Yoy kinda have to learn to ignore it, find other ways to deal.

i hate the winter, I hate the snow, I hate the ice, I hate the cold. I dont get the desire to have the seasons.. Not for me. I used to live in south florida then I moved to missery with my then bf/husband and I wish to go back every day. Thats my problem in the winter too many layers and I get lazy and dont want to work…

Sometimes especially in thr winter when its all grey n depressing. I try to keep it in check. Usually ill notice hey I had icecream and 9 oreos I think I should chill out..

Idk im 5'6 my goal is 140. Your much taller so prob start with 160-170 you can always change it as you go. Aim for a particilar size is a great idea.

Get the junk out the house. Crackers chips poptarts arent terrible on moderation but you dont seem to have much selg control so for now stop buying them. Eat real meals, snack on fruits n veggies. I love granola bars as well but I have a one a day limit. The thing with that is you actually havr to stick to your…

Well it is grilling season aka above freezing.. ha I bbq last night burgers are nom nom.

Think of the long term. Exercise is great for our bodies. Make sure you arent over estimating your calorie burn that could be why the scale isnt moving as fast. But either way its for the long haul maybe your retaining some water etc.. TAke your measurements every 2 weeks or every month and see if your getting smaller,…

Size 6

Either go the the gym in the evenings once my husband is home. Im usually back within an hr. They can and will survive without me. LOL. Or I get up early like around 5 to workout before the day gets started. I prefer getting up earlier because it gives me a fresh start and makes me feel energized.

BOTH but dont under estimate the importance of strength training. I try to aim for 50/50 I dont always get there but I try. I prefer cardio to weights but I do enjoy weights. I just feel like when Im running I can zone out LOL. Its a good escape for me.

you just gotta fake it till you make it Ive been with the same gym for 10 years. For some reason after I had my third baby in 4 years I was not feeling quite so confident. So you just gotta go get your butt to the gym and go from there. Start small!

Midwest here so food is not too bad. I still use coupons and shop sales to save money when I can.

Some women want to be sahm, some want to work, some work from home as long as husband and wife are happy I say go for whatever it is you want to do. I will never understand why complete strangers care so much what other families are doing. If it works for them then its awesome.

Hoprfully get kids to bed early then chill out on the couch
