Good for you! Glad you are making the commitment! Feel free to add me. I am on here daily. I am somewhat addicted. I love Zumba and I also do walks when it is not raining. At this point that is about as hardcore as I get since I have two kids and a full time job and let's face it, I hate working out. You have made the…

Are you sure it is just not mental bloat? You said you have only done it for a few days but before that you said you normally eat 1200 a couple days a week anyway. You say you are making a conscious effort to eat 1200 cals so maybe you consiously feeling bloated because you are making yourself eat the extra 200 calories. I…

I have done WW and MFP. I have lost weight on both. This is free forever no matter what and is basically comparable. I am eating a bit ol piece of meat tonight that would be be like 8 points on WW but is only 240 calories on MFP. I will take free forever and go back to free over paying over and over again when going back…

I have a crap ton of saved on pinterest. I suggest looking on there, it is a good place to find some cute styles. I have been thinking about cutting my hair shorter too but don't want the angled bob just because everyone has it including my 6 ydd.

Congrats! Adios to Lane!

I have a friend, actually she just defriended me on facebook so I guess we are no longer friends and she swears she just can't lose weight unless she gets prescription diet pills. Then when she starts losing weight she starts telling people she doesn't know how she is losing it. It just must be stress. It drives me nuts!…

I think your problem isn't counting calories, it is how you are eating. For one, you shouldn't eat off other peoples meals, it isn't a good habit. You shouldn't mindlessly snack. That is how you become overweight. You need to know what is going in your mouth. If are eating at a friends house and you are eating lets say a…

I love Zumba, I started three weeks ago. I wasn't so sure the first class, the second I had this spirtutual awakening. I really felt like I came close to God. Sounds silly but it was just wonderful, words can't describe it! Yep, every Saturday morning I wake up early and go and I L-O-V-E it! I would love to do it at home.…

Holy cow! You look Amazing! Good Job!

Sorry to hear about your loss. I had a baby a couple months ago and gained 48 pounds. I have lost 42 pounds but even when I do lose the remaining 6 pounds I am still going to need to tone because I can tell I am not going to be able to fit into my jeans the way I want. I have been walking which is about as low impact as…

Thanks ladyraven, that makes sense because at the end of the day it will tell me if my days are always like this I will weigh "XXX" in 5 weeks so it would have to take it into consideration.

Well that just bites. I was hoping to lose two pounds a week but apparently you can only do that if you are larger framed.

I don't think working out means you have to join a gym and work out two hours a day. You say you bike with your children. Just build on that. Go on walks, take your kids on hikes, this summer when you go to the pool, do a couple of laps. I am work full time and have two kids I take an aerobic class on Saturday mornings and…

I am long waisted and short legged. All jeans are long on me. I like BKE from the Buckle but they are long on me and they are costly but they fit my butt like a glove. I alslo love Aeropostle, they are cheap and feel pretty good on. Only thing is they only go to size 13 and my size 9/10 barely button so I am afraid to try…

I have a 6 YDD old who is thin I think falls around the 30 percentile in weight for her age and she eats a lot of junk but she also eats a lot of healthy food too. She will have a huge salad and then eat a big piece of pizza. I feel she has a good sense of balance......Although she has a sweet tooth. I know what her…

As you know I have been battling some of my own demons. We all have bad days or weeks or perhaps months. Don't let others bring you down. We are hard enough on ourselves. Don't read too much into your friend. I would keep your distance from her for awhile and focus on you and feeling positive and keeping positive energy…

I have to agree that looks like way more than 25 pounds, please take that as a compliment because you look great. Congrats!

Awesome! That is just the coolest thing ever. Good job, you have done such a great job, that had to feel amazing. Keep at it, looks like you are past the half way mark.

Ugh! I ran into this problem this weekend when I went to my Grandma's this weekend and she cooked this huge meal for me. I should have told her before I came that I was trying to watch what I was eating because I was trying to lose my baby weight but I didn't so I see it as my fault. I ate what I could and said no to what…

Thank you all for your support today. I think I am having an off day and I appreciate your support.

bump. amazing ladies. I am 8 weeks post partum so this was much needed.

Hi Ladies, been here myself for just over a week. I am a mother of a 6 year old and a 6 week old. Feel free to add me. I like to share recipes and love to give and get support as well. :)

This might surprise some of you but I was born naked. I haven't wanted to post a picture of me in a bikini but the poster's opinion makes me want to now. Thanks for the encouragment!

It was three years ago and I was honestly below my goal weight by 10 pounds. 135 is goal weight and I can easily maintain that by eating healthy and not over excerising. Thinking that is my healthy weight for my 30's. Would love to weigh 117 like I did in high school but my body has changed after having two kids.

So envious. I am 6 weeks post partum on Tuesday and started my period three days ago and I am running to the bathroom every two hours. I HATE IT! Not breastfeeding though.

I know a few of the 10 minute solutions are on streaming on netflix. I really like Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds. I have a difficult time with anything else right now because I am so out of shape and I need something that burns lots of calories without doing 800 different moves a minute. Plus she tells you how many…

With two kids????? For them to be in bed by 8. For my husband and I to have a peaceful night with some chocolates or a cake (I know but I would be good). Then some Marvin Gaye and some fun time. It has been too long, had a kid in December so I am hoping I can get cleared and protected by V day. Sorry if TMI.

I work in a hospital. I had a diluted test before and they had me retake it. I also worked at another hospital where I worked in HR and there was a limit. If your urine is diluted too much (there is some sort of way they can tell and must set a limit) then they will not let you retake it. This was all for being hired not…

Cut out carbs at dinner (or at least cut them out most dinners), and step up your excerise. I would just step up excerise once or twice a week to see if that helps. Don't worry, from looking at your diary it looks like you are doing what you suppose to so just give it time and don't get frustrated. I did weight watchers…
