I'm starting over too. I did great, then got pregnant, had a difficult birth and recovery and let the sickness get the best of me. When I was finally better I just didn't get back into it the way I should have. I tried a few times in the last 6 months and failed miserably. This time I am going to do it. I am back on the…

4 hour workouts. Usually on the weekends my family and I go for a walk or a bike ride or something. Last weekend we were out for 4 hours and 15 minutes and we were moving for about 3 hours and 15 minutes of that. We walked along the river until we found a little imbiss that sounded tasty, had a wurstchen and a drink, fed…

It's a pet peeve of mine as well. Shut the h*ll up and let me worry about my diet. Isn't it tiring capitalizing the first letter of every word in a post? My niece does that too and I was just wondering why? Habit?

buy a scale and use it every day... This is what finally pushed my husband and I to get healthy. We were getting on the scale everyday. Smart doctor you have there.

I got chicken tenders at Denny's in Prescott AZ once. The outside was nice and crispy and done. The inside was completely raw and cold. They only cooked the breaded outside, not at all inside. To this day I do not order breaded chicken tenders ANYWHERE. If I do happen to order something (usually on accident) I cut into it…

done, good luck on your paper

avocado, banana, full fat dairy. Do you like pancakes? If you cook them with shortening (like crisco) instead of pam or whatever they get these nice crispy edges on them. I eat mine with fresh strawberries and light cool whip, but you could use normal cool whip and strawberry syrup or the old fashioned maple syrup and…

sorry to hear about your friend. try to make "fast food" at home. There's some great recipes at skinnytaste.com my husband loves my hamburgers. It's been my experience that just by making food myself I can cut a significant portion of calories. Instead of 540 cals per burger, mine come in around 400ish leaving room for a…

First of all, make sure you are getting proper pre-natal care. Schedule regular monthly check-ups with your OB/GYN and take your pre-natal vitamins. Discuss your worries with your doctor. I was overweight when I got pregnant too. I gained about 35 lbs and my doctor didn't seem worried about it. My doctor told me that yes,…

Friends can make it tough sometimes. I have to tell you, I wouldn't have handled the elitist remark well at all. "If I'm so d*mned elitist why the h*ll am I hanging out with YOU" yeah, that would have been VERY hard to contain, probably would have managed it, but only if I valued their friendship VERY highly. Don't talk…

Are you drinking enough water? If you are exercising 20-90 minutes twice a day you probably need a lot of water to keep your body from retaining so much. Without seeing your diary I can't comment on your food intake. But I would advise you to LOG EVERYTHING. Doesn't matter if it is just a hand full of popcorn, log it. Log…

I try to eat VERY low cal during the day and aim for an early-ish dinner and I try not to go more than 4 hours during the day without eating because I get cranky and moody. So I plan it out 8-9 breakfast 12-1 lunch 4 small snack if necessary an 6-8 dinner. We usually eat dinner out which tends to be an overloaded calorie…

I just woke up my son laughing. Maybe you should try explaining that you need a phone to call someone. That they have yet to implant them into our faces.

I was thinking this same thing! If she was eating too little everyone would scream ED and put her in a clinic to recover from the eating disorder and receive the psychological help she needs. Why is it okay to be unhealthy with a morbidly obese BMI but not a morbidly low BMI. (just to be clear I don't advocate either one,…

this, we do this at least once a week.

My little one is 10 months old. I'm no longer nursing but not because I don't want to. I had supply issues at 4.5 months postpartum due to thyroid issues. I was able to keep it up for a couple of feedings a day until 6.5 months but my thyroid got the better of me. I do eat my exercise cals back. Nearly all of them (I might…

I'm in Hamburg, way up north. I love Bavaria though. It's so flat up north and I am used to seeing at least some mountains in the distance. I like Garmish-Partenkirchen in the off season. My husband and I avoid crowds. I've been steadily losing since mid-feb. I've hit two plateaus but they were over in about two weeks.…

I just posted a similar topic. I'm wondering if the bodyrock.tv workout is enough to get results.

anyone else do bodyrock.tv workouts?

Everyone is telling you to focus on your breathing, and see a doctor. 1 poster did talk a bit about posture (bringing your arms down) but this is really important. I am no longer a runner but after hearing I ran a marathon I had a lot of friends wanting to "train" with me to keep them motivated. I stopped because of…

I'm not allowed to donate anymore. The last time I went I felt fine, until I stood up. I lost all sense of balance and coordination and fell back into the chair. The nurse called all medical staff over. I had 3 nurses and 2 doctors around me. I still to this day (that was about 8 years ago) do not know what happened. They…

He married a year or two ago. Seems to play a lot of farmville and go to a lot of Star Wars conventions.

30DS - 30 day shred A Jillian Michaels DVD workout Took me ages to get that one.

Yeah, if I have cash in my wallet and my husband doesn't when we go to buy something little I hand him the cash to pay so we don't get dirty looks. I remember shortly after telling my boss I was pregnant we moved offices. They got my filing cabinet mixed up with someone elses. So I pushed their cabinet to their desk and…

YES!!!! Especially the last one! Also people that cut me off and go 10 below the posted limit. The dish soap cap thing the OP said People that take like 3 seconds to figure out the light has turned green and then put their car in gear and go. I live in Germany there is a reason the light goes yellow before it goes green,…

I know I didn't mention this in the original post but being supportive and telling me I will die of cancer for eating processed foods are two different things, IMO

My diary is also open only to friends. This particular lecture came from a woman that is trying to get me to go on the 'next biggest thing diet' with her. I'm noticeably losing weight and gaining tone and I think she really just wants validation for her decision to do this specific diet. I am doing what's working for me…

This made my husband and I LOL because our son is about the same age as the OPs and we do baby lifts and baby squats. Actually we're just playing with him lifting him into the air and stuff. He loves it. He's 10 kg now and when he's 20 kg he'll love it just as much. We're going to have massive muscles!!! When my husband…

can you try to give up the alcohol for say, 2 weeks? See what the difference in weight loss is for you and if it's enough to continue without the alcohol or if it's minimal and then you can go back. My husband is losing and he has maybe 3 beers a week. He saves his cals for it also. Maybe he'd lose faster without the beer,…

What I think people are saying about starvation mode isn't that you gain weight by eating less than 1200 cal a day it's that when you reach your goal and you are trying to eat at maintenance calories you gain because your metabolism has slowed. So if you are loosing weight by eating less than 1200 cal a day and not under a…
