Way to go!!

I too struggled with eating to the point I was 265.5lbs. I've lost and maintained my weight loss but it's a lifestyle change. I food prep, I log all my calories and I exercise with a passion for weight training. Have you read the book Brain Over Binge? I found it helpful! Feel free to add me as a friend too if you like. :)

I have lost over 110lbs and have maintained it now for a while. I still enjoy my chips and sweets from time to time. It's all about balance! Labeling foods good/bad can set a person up for disordered eating in my opinion. As long as you have your calorie deficit you should be fine. :) There is something to be said for…

My doctor prescribed ortho tri-cyclen lo for me today and my first concern was whether it would cause weight gain. I'm going to start it tonight. This thread has put my fears to rest!

Thank you! I will go looking for the thread :) Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Wow I'm in awe of all you fabulous ladies! The only exercise I've been getting so far is a little bit of walking. Aside from that I'm beat. :( I gotta get at it lol.

I feel so much better reading this!! I'm almost at the end of the first trimester and feel like I need to be constantly eating or I get nauseated as well. I'm up close to 15 lbs. I'm feeling better now that I'm approaching the second trimester and hope to do more activity and make healthier choices!

I'm just wondering what kind of workouts everyone else is doing? I love to weight train but will admit, I haven't done anything really since I found out I was pregnant. I've been so exhausted! Even walking has been out. :( Is it safe to do overhead presses when you're pregnant? Just wondering what exercises I should avoid.…

I'm with you!! I'm 11 weeks pregnant and looking for support buddies as well :)

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and in the same boat. I find I'm eating too much and not good choices but what I do eat keeps the nausea at bay. Having said that, I prepped healthier meals today, logged them all and felt much better about it. I allowed myself some chocolate but it was Lindt Sea Salt dark chocolate. My calories…

17 more days until my Disney vacation! :) We're staying at Port Orleans Alligator Bayou. I can't wait! Hubby and I spent the weekend watching videos on YouTube. I think we're more excited than the kids lol.

6 weeks from today I will be at the Magic Kingdom!!!! OMG!!! :) Thank you for the tip on the iPhone app! I'm going to check it out when I get home. :)

We're staying at Port Orleans resort this year too! Our trip is August 30th - September the 9th. 43 days to go!! I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait. I feel like a little kid LOL. I'm at work right now and thinking I want to set a goal to run a Disney Marathon sometime. Has anyone else taken part in one? I think it…

What a great idea for motivation! :) I know the thoughts of wearing my bathing suit to Typhoon Lagoon has me second guessing any time a sweet craving hits. I'd also like to plan a trip to do a Disney run/marathon some year. :)

Wow a Disney Cruise! I would love to go on one as well. Are they more expensive compared to a Disney World vacation? Is there much to do on the cruise? You can definitely do this! Please feel free to add me as a friend for support if you like. :)

I would move in with Mickey too!! We could be Sister Wives :-)

You can totally do this!! Please feel free to add me as a friend for support if you like. :)

Have a great trip! :)

Thanks Brian!! Last year was our first trip to Disney World and we absolutely loved it! I completely agree that my lighter body will thank me which is why I want to lose another 8 lbs before the trip. Our travel date is the hottest time of year for Florida and it's a lot of walking. :) I'm very excited to stay at Port…

This is great! Thanks for the replies and for sharing everyone :) My trip is now 48 days away and I can't wait! Hubby already wants to start packing lol. Last year was our first trip and we stayed at Coronado Springs Resort. We had the time of our lives and booked another trip for this year. This time we're staying at Port…
