Count me in!! The one thing I do make is the water goal....really going to have to push for the exercise though :( I hate that I was getting atleast 2 hours a week and now I am lucky to get 30 mintues with all my crazy work stuff! UGH!

Thanks for the chat board! My name is Jennifer and I like to eat :( So looking forward to the motivational chats! I have a 5 year old and really want to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight so that I can live a healthy life for my son. Our office does a biggest loser contest every year. I won last year and maintained my…

Wahoo!! Count me in!!

Request sent! I am glad to help support anyone! I was pretty healthy until having my son. My weight just went up after I went back to work. Now, he is 5 so I don't feel like I can claim baby weight any longer! Time to kick some butt!

Amazing job!!! The pics are phenomenal!! Thanks for sharing!

Great job on the 5k!! I am new to running as well! I am getting ready to start week 8 of the c25k program and I can tell you that I am only hitting about 2 miles right now in the time for the program. So, I will be extremely happy to do a 5k in 45 minutes!! I am curious to see the tips too! I have read several articles…

Glad to join!! This will be very beneficial!

Feel free to add me. I am 33 & have one child...would love to provide any support that I can!

I have been doing the c25k as well. I am on week 6. I have alway heard that running outside is harder. I have been using the treadmill at the gym by my work so that I force myself to keep a set pace, etc. Last week, I ended up having to do Day 3 at home, which meant going outside! IT WAS HARD!! I think it's because the…

BUMP, BUMP, BUMP :happy:

TOO FUNNY!! Love them!

Love my Polar FT4. Got it on Amazon for around $60.

Agree with some of the others - get the junk food out of the house and since you are probably preparing the food, she should be eating healthier. That is a start. Then, make the exercise fun using games...the wii is really great.

I have asked this question to several before and everyone says not to worry about the natural sugars. I usually end up with two pieces of fruit and I am done! But, I try to limit the processed sugars.

Hey! Stinks about the jaw. I broke mine about 16 years ago! Wow - makes me feel old! Anyway, I used the ensure, a lot of the "smooth" soups, extra milk & milkshakes, plain yogurt or would blend the fruit ones up to change the flavor a little, mashed potatoes, jello, pudding, really anything creamy. Probably about a month…

My boss left at 11 this morning! But, I am cranking away because I don't want to work overtime next week! I completely understand the conundrum on some days though! Have fun if you leave :)

I have the FT4. It's the only one I have ever owned. I just purchased it about 2 months ago. It has a chest strap. I had heard that ones without were harder to use because you had to continually push a button for it to measure your pulse. I bought it on Amazon for right at $60. The FT7 was a little more expensive and I…

I use the Polar FT4. I really like it! I have heard different issues with the others such as the Fitbit doesn't work if you are in a spinning class...not that i am in one but maybe down the road! LOL! Good luck in whatever one you decide :)

Me too :)

WOW!! What an amazing transformation!! Such an inspiration to everyone! CONGRATS!!!

I have noticed this on various items that I have scanned such as milk & cottage cheese!! Crazy is that it came up with the same brand on the milk. I do check to make sure the calories are the same as the package when I scan something. If they are not, I will click the "not right" at the bottom and then just manually search…

Wow! Such a great article! Thans for sharing! And, so many great experiences by others!

bump!

So many good suggestions. I also have a soon-to-be 5 year old, who isn't the best sleeper... I can't get up earlier in the morning (I HAVE tried but it just doesn't work) and my job doesn't always allow time to leave my desk for a workout. My workout is usually once my 5 yo goes to bed and right before I get ready for bed…

bump! Sounds yummy!

I will be 33 this summer! I have a son that turns 5 this summer as well! I am 5'3" and looking to lose another 35 pounds. I too have a desk job (accountant). Please feel free to add me :smile:

I have seen people who got the surgery and put the weight back on! Sure they put it on slower but they didn't get the diet and exercise! But, the band should be a last resort! If you only need to lose 65 pounds, you can do this! I started on here with 50 pounds to lose (down 14 - slow and steady) but I know I need to get…

Chocolate light soy milk. LOVE it!! But, also the pudding cups or popcorn or pretzels...shoot, I feel like I can eat the whole pantry a day or two before! And, I am VERY moody! My husband says that I am more arguementative! I do force myself to work out even if I don't want to... I know with the right diet and vitamins…

Thanks for sharing! I have never liked brussel sprouts. But, we joined a produce co-op in our town and I heard that they are the in the "bag" sometimes, when in season! I wanted to find some way to try them that I might actually like!

Feel free to add me! I have a four year old. I was very active before and then once I returned to work, my weight went right back up to my full-term pregnancy weight. It has been hard to find time for me but I decided this is the year!
