Congrats!!! I know the feeling is awesome!!! Keep up the hard work!

I use the graph on the app to watch my weekly intake. You typically lose weight or gain weight "weekly" to give yourself a better idea of overall weightloss/gain average since we fluctuate on the scale so much daily. I think it's easier to not feel so restricted daily too! Splurge a little one day, cut back a little…

Be active with her.... well, I am!! I am her tee ball coach!! I am active with her. I run bases with them, and I make sure to be the example of what it means to hustle. During the summer I swim with her. When we go places and park far out from the building, I encourage her to race me to the door of the building! At the…

I work full time with two kids that go to two different schools and my commute to work is 45 mins-1 hr. I work out at lunch time at work. (And by that I don't mean a gym. I change clothes in the bathroom and go walk outside or I will walk back and forth down one of the hallways at work or I will do stairs. and I only do…

Cheers!

You are welcome to add me if you want. I'm always will to help if I can. I'm 5'3, started at 246.8 in January this year and am down 63 since then. I'm far from perfect and still have a lot to learn. I also still have good days and bad... but live and learn and try again.

I have to say it's always a struggle but in my world it's about balance. I will binge on bad things when I allow myself to get to a starving point instead of eating frequently and I will binge on bad things when I don't allow myself a LITTLE bad here and there mixed in all the good. I have managed to lose 62 since Jan and…

FABULOUS! WAY TO GO!

I did this past April in North Texas. It was fun! Would totally do it again. I think you need to be "in shape", but you don't have to be super fit just to do this one. Edit to add: I agree on needing the upper body strength!

Great job at being a good influence! Good times!!

Thanks! I am mom of two little ones and work a full time desk job with an hour commute each way. For the longest time I thought there was no way to "make time". Now, I believe I wasn't trying hard enough, and it was just an excuse! I exercise on my hour lunch break out side as long as it's not raining. I can't afford the…

Just thought this was interesting... In my 2nd grade VBS class last night, we were talking about something we did bad that day... overweight little girl (not sure if qualifies as obese or not, but clearly overweight by more than a tad) admits her "wrong doing (or sin)" of the day was sneaking and stealing another cookie…

What the heck caused baby boomer parents to change parenting from the way they were parented to be so much more laxed on upbringing of kids and less willing to discipline? (this probably is off topic from the childhood obesity exactly... but I know it plays a role in it.) I was raised by a baby boomer parent... but my mom,…

interesting! Thanks!

Very interesting feedback. Good to see multiple sides and stories... Our children are only young once, and it is our job as parents to provide for their needs when young. Health is a huge need. So the chicken nuggets and french fries may satisfy hunger quickly, but not health. I am that family that is overworked-underpaid,…

you can do it! Just keep reminding yourself EVERY meal is a second chance to get it right! I was over 200 lbs for about 6 years and started Jan 9, 2012 at my highest of 246.8 on a 5'3 body. I am 194 today! I promise you it feels awesome to make it back into ONEderland.... just DONT stop trying till you get where you need…

So great!!

I don't agree with the fact that you can't lose weight unless you count calories! I personally know I wouldn't be able to lose as good as I have been if I didn't count calories... but I have a friend who is part of the Eating Clean "club"... she follows the eat clean diet for her lifestyle and she lifts weights and does…

I've have my Mirena for one year exactly this month. From May 2011-December 2012 I went from 229 to 246! But I don't blame a single bit on that weight gain on the Mirena. I had a 9 month old baby at the time I got my Mirena (who I had just quit breast feeding only 2 months prior) and my eating habits were worse than…

ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!

THIS!!!!!! ^^^^ agree!!!

you tube and google core exercises instead of crunches. It will help tone you up. No idea how flat your body will let you go... but you can tone up! It all starts with the core though.

I pin things all the time on Pinterest that are food recipes for both adults and kid ideas!!! It you want to follow: http://pinterest.com/emilymoreno/food/

The quality of your breastmilk will never change!!!! It is liquid gold from beginning to end in my opinion! Quanity may change possibly. I never lost weight while BFing... however I wasn't watching my calories either. Yet both times I stopped BFing, my weight sky rocketed with no change in my diet! So I must have just been…

For the most part, (on days I'm really doing good anyway) I really try to just work things like small piece of birthday cake or whatever sugary/fattening thing it may be that I want into my daily calorie allowance. Also maybe try to get a good workout in to earn the extra calories! I really try to remind myself to NOT…

I have to say the only reason I like it is b/c on the occasional days that I do go over my calorie goal... it lets me see "ohhh so if I ate like this every day, I'd pretty much maintain my fat a** status!" and it makes me want to do better the next day! More of like a slap in the face to why I look the way I look now by…

Look into Lindsay Brin - google her and find her moms into fitness website. She talks a lot about core training after c sections and she has some free work outs on you tube too!!

Bump

Interesting post! I went to the website and I'm a pear. My things could use some trimming though! Maybe my hubby is hungry! :)

I'm down 32 lbs and STILL in a size 20 jeans. They are loose on me, but they don't completely fall off and a size 18 still doesn't button!!!! I don't remember my 20's being too tight when I started either! edited to add--- I could've been in denial though! ^^^
