  • hi! I'm new to the group but saw your post.. I completely agree that it is exercise. It's tough as a mom with little ones to find exercises that you can do with your little ones. I end up walking, pushing my kids in the stroller most days, cleaning, or just dancing with them. We tried a gym membership but my kids hated it,…
    in walking - is it "really" exercise? :-) Comment by RckstrMommy April 2012
  • I have always had a very slow metabolism - struggled with obesity as a child. I lost 50 lbs during my teen years and maintained it really well... until I had 2 babies.. yep.. I gained the recommended amount and my OB was never concerned, it just didnt come off like other women's seems to come off. Grr. Honestly I think my…

    in 5'4 180 lbs goal 160 Comment by RckstrMommy March 2012
  • At my thinnest I weighed 125 but thought I looked a little too thin (but still hated the way I looked). For me 130-140 was a good healthy weight (they actually recommend 130-150). My first goal is 150 (pre-pregnancy) then hopefully back down to 140.

  • I was an obese child who lost 50 lbs as a teenager... for me to lose weight I had to eat 1000-1200 calories and exerise 4 times a week. Not all bodies are created equal. I think the whole "starvation mode" does not apply to all metabolisms. Even when I was at my thinnest, if I dare ate over 1400 calories I would gain…
    in Not losing weight Comment by RckstrMommy February 2012
  • My first week I felt hungry all the time but at some point I stopped feeling hungry - I guess my stomach just got used to the 1200 calories a day. I also never deprive myself completely - just lots of portion control and count everything. I.e. instead of bowl of icecream, just eat a spoon full. Instead of a full sandwich,…
    in How do i stop eating? Comment by RckstrMommy January 2012
  • I was an obese child. I lost 50 lbs in high school but in order to do so I had to eat between 1000-1200 calories. If I eat over 1500 I gain weight... just the way my body is I guess. I have worked out most of my life and was a teacher for 6 years... to maintain I never let myself go over 1400. Even when pregnant, I counted…
