I'm so glad to read that other people use crocheting as a way to keep your hands busy, i.e. out of the snack bin, while watching TV. :) If only it WAS excercise! I'd be a size 6! ;)

I use: 0% Fage Greek Yogurt 1/2 c milk 3 packets of stevia ice LOTS OF SPINACH Blend and YUM! (Drink right away or the spinach gets really strong tasting.)

Haha....this. Plus, GREAT family pictures....hiking pictures.....I'd, for once, like to be the one IN the pictures rather tha hiding behind the camera! :)

For Crust: I use almond meal flour, raw almond butter and egg whites. Mix it to a consistancy that will smash into the pan. Libby Recipe: **Substitute stevia for sugar (use LOTS less stevia. I usually use around 6 packets per pie.) **Only use egg whites (just add an egg to have the right amount) **Use fat free evaporated…

I would say as long as the mustard has not added sugar, you'd be fine to use it. I personally use hot mustard in my devilled eggs. Dijon mustard is fine on SBD Phase 1 too. It's mostly vinager.

Swedish pancakes are a great way to get them to eat eggs. They have hardly any flour (and can be made with multiple different types of flour; i've used almond, rice and whole wheat). You can even just use the egg whites for a lower fat option. I put low fat cream cheese and all fruit jelly in mine. Very yummy. My five year…

My mother-in-law told me that I shouldn't have any Victoria's Secret catalogs because we were both FAR from looking like THAT. Nice.

My tips: -Don't shop Juniors clothes...they're always really short. -Wear ankle strap heels. -Try Anthropologie. They have great dresses in reasonable lengths for tall people. The patrons also give excellent reviews so you can read about the item from someone with your body type. -And Good Gracious! Embrace your long legs!…

It encourages me to see ANYONE running! But to see an overweight person (like me) running? THAT'S awesome! (But I totally know how you feel. And I've been in the car with people who've made snarky comments about overweight runners/walkers.....and I just want to knock em over the head for it.) Just remember that MOST people…

Ditto THIS! You're an inspiration, for sure!

This. It's okay to get advice here but everyone is soooo different! Make sure to speak to your doctor (who's been keeping a very close eye on you and the little one for MONTHS and knows your body!)....and follow his/her advice. (But yes, Breast Feeding does burn calories. I lost 20 lbs in the first two weeks...I ate…

Thanks to all who replied to this! I've been trying to kick myself into doing this and you guys are an inspiration!

I have to say, I've been a member for a while.....And when I log in and fill out my diary, I lose weight. When I forget to log in, I gain.

As a graceless gorilla, I have to agree! I can't walk in heels very well. But WEDGES are AWESOME! They add height (I'm only 5'4" which means SHORT legs) and they do the same job as heels of making your calves look sexy.

friends with guns and ammo. (so we don't get wal-marted!!!! bwahahaha)

That's EXACTLY what I thought....I'd say DOLPHIN. I don't want to promote being overweight...it's not healthy. But dolphins are sleek, social and agile....and who doesn't love dolphins?! :)

Hahahaha!!!! Thanks for the warning!! And for the morning laugh! My ring fits, by the way!!! Woohoo!

Hahaha!! I have a rule that all of my shirts have to fall below the C-Section bulge.....hence no muffin top hanging out the bottom....eeeewwwwww!!! I really think the problem is that people dress without looking in the mirror. My husband makes fun of me for inspecting myself from all angles...but it save the embarassment…

Dear Skinny Jeans: Why do you shrink every time I try to wear you? I swear you wash yourself in hot water JUST to get on my nerves. Sigh......why can't we just get along?!

have you tried magic eraser?

Got these awesome huge black wings...gonna pair them with a handkerchief hemmed short dress, purple striped tights and high heeled (but comfortable!!) black mary jane "witch" shoes. The dress fit me a couple of years ago and it's currently my GOAL dress. :)

It's the BEST!! The plain is tart/sour and thick...but Fage makes some that have "add-ins" which are DELISH! The 0% Strawberry Goji is my FAVE!

I gained when my husband and I started dating....then we started going to the gym together....and riding bikes together. It was nice together time. It's good to be able to spend time together but not feel guilty about neglecting other parts of YOUR life.

Great to see progress.....even better to have made lifestyle changes!! Keep up the good work! :)

Fit of clothes (non-stretch ones!!), measurments....then the scale. You know how we females are with water weight at all different times of the month!! I've found the scale to be discouraging at times...making it hard to stick to it. Clothes are the best judge. When those jeans get loose, get happy!

yes, it's normal.

GREAT JOB!! It's awesome to fit into smaller clothes....especially those that (not too long ago) we thought we'd NEVER get into! I've found clothes to be some really great NSV's, for sure! CONGRATS and keep up the good work! :)

GREAT JOB!!! You're an inspiration!
