32 with 3 kids. Lost 85 pounds a few years ago, went from 230-145. I was in the best shape of my life, but somehow i always find self care on the back burner. I've yo-yo'ed since then, finding myself in the 180-190's. This time i'm going to keep it off.

Brussels sprouts. I try them a few times a year, hoping to like them- my husband says they're ah-mazing. Still can't put one in my mouth without gagging. Watermelon. It's just wrong. The texture is confusing and the taste is just nasty.

I've decided this year is the year for decluttering, purging and beautifying our home. I started by un-decorating the day after boxing day. We've tackled the livingroom, kitchen(even the space above the cupboards, but haven't excavated the craft cabinet yet), 2 bathrooms, storage under the stairs, my bedroom, and we're on…

Asparagus Garlic Fried onions Fried brown mushrooms And italian prune plums

Coffee. It soothes my tired, grouchy soul. And the time I get all to myself is pretty great, too.

I find that when I skip workouts, I have less energy overall and become lethargic. So I do my best not to skip. I feel bad more often than I feel good, so unless I am bedbound, I stick to my routine.

I do glute bridges cause I have no room for a bench. Definitely a good burn there. And like they say, squat til you're hot.

Less coffee. I make lattes with a whole lot of whole milk (like 1 cup per 6oz espresso). So i have my morning ritual and maybe one more, rather than several per day. Big difference.

A couple times a week out of curiousity, but i only record it once a week.

Lunch or dinner, depending on my work schedule. I tend to just have a latte for breakfast.

More bike rides/hikes/anything outside. Once it cools down i spend a lot more time outside. Summer is not for me.

Pulled pork fresh off the bbq, rice and peas. Nothing super fancy, but it was good.

Corned beef on rye with habanero cheese, mayo, dijon, tomato and pickles. Yum!

Chest, thighs and butt. I may have to get down to my birth weight before I can buy a bra at a regular store.

I eat my calories BUT i don't log lifting as exercise, i don't log steps at home/work/if i walk to work. I log extra exercise that i do purposely to burn calories, and yes, i eat those too. Losing on about 1760 cals a day. I'm set to lose 1 pound a week. Im about the same weight as you. I don't want to drop too quickly and…

Local company makes sour cherry lemon poppyseed muffins. They are to die for.

Jesse roper- cherry Royal blood- lights out, little monster, only lie when i love you, figure it out Arctic monkeys- brianstorm, teddy picker

1770 and losing steadily, keeping it off this time. Went from 231 to 148 on 1300 calories, was not sustainable, gained nearly 40 back over a few years. So here I am at 191. Taking it slow, making better choices, eating real food.

Barefoot for lifting (at home, would never go barefoot in a gym) Newbalance summit for trails/hiking

Cheese buns, fresh out of the oven with butter. My husband just made a batch. I had one with dinner and i'm distracting myself from eating the 9 that are left.

Mint jelly in my deviled eggs Thats about as weird as i get

I look up the menu in advance and plan. Save my calories for dinner. I log it in advance, then I know how many calories i have for the rest of the day. While i can't log 100% accurately from a restaurant, i have enough info to get pretty close. If i know i'm going to blow my calories i will work out in advance. In past…

Full-time working, part time student mom of 3 here. My kids do 1 extra curricular after school, that's it that's all. Allowing time for unstructured is important. Once they hit 2nd grade, they make their own lunches. I have a chart for what goes in a lunch, and suggestions for sandwich/wrap ingredients. Autonomy breeds…

Fart around with weights 5-6 times a week(after the kids are finally asleep) Bike ride when/if i have time Hiking when i make time Walk to/from work(hour-ish walk) when time allows (at least once a week)

Not a SAHM, but I have 3, youngest is nearly 3. I am 40 pounds down from my highest weight, about 40 to go. Recently back on track :) add me if you want.

Pre-logging as much as possible I try to pre-log breakfast and dinner, then i know how many calories i have left for lunch/snacks Realising it's ok to be hungry. I don't starve myself by any means, but i can hold out for an hour until dinner if that's all the calories i have left. I don't log any walking etc that is part…

^ what she said Add me if you like. I dropped 55 pounds in 10 months after my youngest was born. Back to work and i kind of got off track, so i'm back to logging. Add those BF calories back and you'll be fine. Don't starve yourself.

I pre plan food as much as possible I figured out what exercise i like and i do that (weightlifting, walking, hiking and biking) I eat adequate fat, fiber and protein so i am not hungry

Yes. We're closing in on 18 years together, there is nothing to hide.

A latte(homemade, no weird stuff) Greek yogurt& blueberries for breakfast. Not sure on lunch yet, have 766 calories to figure that &snacks out Dinner will be rainbow tortellini with garlic alfredo and bbq chicken breast. Toss in some garlic,onion and peppers and good to go. Salad with sesame thai dressing(i could drink…
