I do! I find this time of the year the hardest. I'm always so much more fatigued and the temperature change makes me crave comfort food. That being said, I have to make sure I'm like super watchful to make sure I don't slip back into bad habits. Just make a list of why you started and refer to it often. track your calories…

I feel your pain OP. Although Im on the opposite side of it. Im on MFP logging and trying to lose weight while my husband is not. I am the cook in the house and I prep my meals on sunday night and I cook for my husband (of almost 10 years) throughout the week. I work outside the home and we have no kids. Now that I've said…

Im right there with you!! I switched up my routine and gained 2.2lbs on the scale. If you know you are logging everything correctly and exercising properly then just keep at it. I'm contemplating going scale free for November and just sticking to what I know is healthy behavior. I hope everything turns out well for you!…

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm truly trying to make this a habit. I'll watch the carbs and stay off the scale for a while. :)

Im a new early gym convert. I was making too many excuses after work. It was really hard at first. I was drinking coffee before my workouts to perk up. Now I wake up 5 minutes before my alarm goes off. My body just reset itself I guess. Hang in there and maybe yours will do the same. I started making it a part of my work…

I switched to being a morning exerciser. I was always trying to go after work, but found myself so exhausted that i would just skip it. Since I've been laying out my clothes, packing my lunch, and hitting the gym in the morning Ive lost 17 lbs. Its been just about 2 months of steady effort. You can do it! I started out…

You look amazing in your "after" pictures, but you were also really pretty before as well! Im glad you got a chance to tell your grandpa how much he means to you. Not everybody gets to do that. Thanks for being so inspirational!

people who are unhappy with themselves always try and belittle other people. Keep doing your workouts. There's a special place in hell for people who go out of the way to be mean.

Wow hearing all this makes me feel less alone. I was never picked on in school but always at home. My grandmother was the worst. She would say anything from you're so stupid to no man would ever want you to the only thing you'll ever be good for is sex. I lived with that for 18 years and then left for college. I don't…

Thanks for all your comments. I feel like I need to research this some more. For now I think I'll hold steady where I am until I can do some more digging.

I am only In that HR for a very brief period of time. I start with a 5 min warm up at 3.6mph. Then I alternate between light jog for 1:30 at 4.1mph and walking at 3.6 for 1:30 for 20 min. Then I end with a 5 min cool down. I usually end up with about 350 calories burned and a max HR of 180. Average HR of 158. 85% of my max…

Bump

Got a mantra? Sure do! I even set it as my ringtone. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger. My ringtone is Kanye West's "Stronger Chorus"

I can't say enough about how good it was!! My picky husband even liked it!

Thanks! I think he is so adorable and sexy! Oh to be young and unmarried! LOL

thanks for all your replies!!

Don't cha *****cat dolls Milkshake Kelis Ego Beyonce (I think about the video and what I want to look like lol) Lately though it's been the soundtrack to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.....don't judge. lol

Have you tried the Skinny Cow ice cream? They make a Strawberry Cheesecake that's really good. I was skeptical at first because it's small, but I eat it slowly and savor every bite. Do you have a problem with portion control or just knowing it's in the house? I know what you mean about total elimination. If I do an all or…

Double post

Bump!

If I lose 2lbs a week, I would lose 38 lbs by Christmas. So yeah 38 lbs by Christmas. Let's do it!!!

I applaud your efforts!!! Good luck with the weight loss and having the baby! You can do it!

I loved my blackberry too! My husband peer-pressured me into getting an iPhone and I love it! What's the conspiracy?

You look amazing! Love the darker hair! Keep up the good work!

My husband expressed concern over my getting pregnant in the future. I was about 230lbs when me met and 253lbs the day we married.I got as high as 275lbs. As far as physical attraction goes, I cannot deter him. Lol. Even when I stopped wearing sexy lingerie to bed. He even finds my tweety bird nightshirts sexy. Lol. I…

Just be really careful about your eating or sneak in activity wherever possible. My hubby and I just came from St. Augustine and we did a lot of walking around in the Florida sun. I also watched my eating. Idk if I gained or lost any weight but I don't have that "ugh I ate too much" feeling. Good luck and most importantly…

I have found simply putting my foot down to be very effective. I think that if people see you doing anything healthy it makes them feel bad because they know deep down that they could do it too. It makes them examine themselves just a little too much and they would rather try and get you to fall off the wagon than get on…

Candy!!! In all forms. :)

Go girl!

Thanks a million!!
