i dont follow any specific "diet plan" because to me that is just setting myself up for failure..

honestly i dont care cause they always guess me at lighter than i really am anyways :) so i just nod and say sure haha

what i found to be easier is just sitting down at the begining of the day and logging what im gonna eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner and sometimes snacks...and then if i eat anything else i come back and log that whenever i come to log my exercise makes it much easier and my day is planned out and keeps me on track

i too am a sahm....i have 3 daughters and a step daughter...i love being a mommy...but yes sometimes it stresses me out

i bet it is water weight....dont stress about it...you have enough to stress about with the exams! get through the week and then get back on track with exercise :) i bet it'll all just come right off once you are back into the swing of things

mine was from when i could finally fit back into my shorts that i haven't been able to wear in 4 years

mmmmmmmmmm Arby's.....

wish i could...i pulled a muscle in my left arm though...so no pushups for me :(

breaking mine up into 5 sets of 30 throughout the day...just finished 2 sets after my walk i'll do 1 more set...then after im done cleaning i'll do the last 2 sets

im gonna take this on! adding 2 5lb weights to the mix :)

well i lost 8lbs in like a week and a half....but that is because i cut pop out of my diet completely

i keep in mind...my starting weight...i do NOT want to ever see that number ever again....yes there are days where i just kinda go with the flow...but i KNOW that it will not ruin me and i will be okay :)

lol i am like that now i can feel the sweat dripping down my back...all the way down my leg...and i feel worn out exhausted...but truly i feel GREAT!!! yes i just got done with a workout and had to come log it and saw this topic!! lol

i need a smaller chest to do this.......

i stopped logging for a few weeks after hitting my goal and i have maintained my weight :) i have started the logging back up again just because....i am thinking few more lbs that i might want to loose then i'll reevaluate where i am then

if you are gonna do it just do it...its not going to kill you....its not going to ruin you....this is a lifestyle change not a diet.....me and my husband are actually going out to eat on friday....and honestly i do not call it a cheat....its more like a treat to me! i just enjoy it log it and move on to the next day....its…

do not get discouraged!!! there have been weeks where i either a. lost nothing. or b. gained a pound or 2....slow and steady wins the race....get the numbers out of your head...its only going to frustrate you. there have been many times where i just felt like giving up and i didnt....i kept going....and i am much happier…

fantastic!! thanks everyone!! i book marked this topic to keep coming back to it!!! got some good ideas for grocery shopping on thursday! weeeeeee

there is a 10lb difference you CAN notice it

great post!! enjoy your chocolate!

i have wide hips too...I am 5'9 and even when i was borderline underweight at 126lbs i was still in a size 8...because of my hips....im back in my size 8's now at 140lbs there is nothing you can do to change it....just embrace it....and do not focus on the size...focus on dressing for your body type :)

ohh hun im so sorry!! i know how stressful the husband leaving can be!!! *hugs* i totally understand the not eating thing...i was a wreck too when my husband left for Kuwait, I wasn't pregnant but I was nursing and our daughter was just a couple of months old...it was HARD!!! omg....so i know how you feel...feel free to…

food didn't make me gain weight *I* made me gain weight....i take full responsibility for my own actions not trying to shove it off onto food or other things...it was all my own doing....

this is why everyone needs to stop focusing on the numbers!!! just cause the scale isn't moving doesn't mean your body is not changing!!! you are doing fantastic!! keep it up!!!!

hello everyone thought i would give a little insight to what i did to drop the weight....i started off my journey at 162lbs wanted to drop 20lbs...and get to 142....I succeeded by just counting calories...making sure i ate at least up to my calorie goal..maybe a little under if i didn't exercise which honestly was about…

im 31...nebraska...and i hate bacon too :)

and to clarify YES you want to be in the green...not the red but you want to be close to that "daily goal" as possible...i would say no more than 100 calories under without exercise...and if you exercise and burn 200 calories..I myself would eat another 100 calories for that day....but also going over by a little bit is…

no no no....that is the point of having a daily calorie goal...you want to at least get to your normal goal and then when you exercise eat back a little of that...i always try to eat back at least half of what i burn off....

i think you are doing fine 2lbs in 1 week is GOOD!!!! most ppl who drop weight fast in the beginning its just water weight...you may not have had any excess water weight to drop :) just dont give up or get discouraged...slow and steady wins the weightloss race :) ohh and i might suggest by looking at your diary to eat at…

gonna do this!! great idea!!!
