That's the first thing I thought of too. If I eat too many carbs, I am never satisfied.

Cupboard doors left open "Ax" instead of "Ask" Okra

Definitely. What others said - listen to your body and go with what works for you (We're all different). WIth that said, HIIT and lifting heavy is working great for me! I also swim and do other cardio. I try to lift 3x/week, and some form of cardio every day. Good luck!!

Congrats! You have a gorgeous shape! Keep up the amazing work - you rock!

WINE! I prefer chardonnay or pinot noir. I may have had two glasses while cooking dinner last night... and yes, wine made it into the dish I was cooking as well.

Yes. I don't LIKE it, but I do it. Mostly because I have two little kids (under age 5), and if I don't shower at the gym while they are at the play place, it's not likely to happen until they go to bed.

Took birth control for years... now I have an IUD and life is wonderful! :)

When I first started, I went by the default macros from MFP. I have since changed them to meet my personal needs (mostly increasing protein). This is just what seems to work best for me - play around with the ratios and see what works best for you.

This TOTALLY clears it up!

I just bought vanilla Pure Protein in a can - I have been adding some PB2 (powdered peanut butter) to make it like a peanut butter shake. It's PRETTY tasty.

Hi! Active daily, and open diary! Feel free to throw me an add!

I did WW in the past and had great success. Now, with counting calories, I find it easier. The only thing I will warn you of is this: get out of the WW mentality of "free" foods. You need to log those veggies and fruits!

I love my the free interval timer that I have for HIIT!

YES. I would much much much rather lose EVERYWHERE else. Does not seem to be working out as well as I would like, though.

This was almost my exact response.

YOU WIN THE INTERNET DONE.

lol Sweaty *****es unite!

The only thing I ever wear to the gym (and only sometimes) is mascara. The ladies that really kill me are the ones that come to AQUA BOOTCAMP with full makeup and hair. WTF is that?

I eat it nearly every day... 32lbs down since the beginning of August!

I'm pushing to be 50lbs lighter (total) by December 31. 18lbs to go!

Major NSV! Great work!

YUP. The end.

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

If you were exercising before pregnancy, it's *probably* fine to do the same during pregnancy. With that said, PLEASE talk to your OB about it. If you feel like you're pushing too hard, slow down. Monitoring heart rate may also help you - in the 3rd trimester of my last pregnancy, it took little effort for me to make my…

I love PB2! I prefer using it in shakes, or flavoring things. I really like the chocolate in Yonanas (google it).

What others said - you can double up. I also have an Enell that is freaking AMAZING. Pricey, yes. But the girls do not move.

I did WW a few years ago, and had great success (lost 50lbs... and then got pregnant and messed that up haha). However, now that I have done both, I prefer MFP. MFP simply fits better into my lifestyle - and I love having "friends" on MFP to encourage, encourage me, help keep me accountable, swap ideas, etc. I also get…
