I miss that so much. With 30+ left to lose I am hot all the time. I would rather be cold than hot it is easy to add layers but when you are down to a t-shirt and shorts it is hard to cool down any more and still stay covered deciently

I had a simmilar issue when my daughter and then my son was first born. My mom actually taught me a neat trick for this. When you get home from the grocery store cut up and measure then baggie or tupperware some fruits and veggies. That way when you feed the baby you can prop them on a pillow on your lap. I found if I sat…

Some of choice two. I have an uber picky eater and we will sit for 1.5 hrs at the dinner table and if she still refuses to eat then the food gets plastic wrapped and refridgerated for 2 hrs then the attempt is made again. If she will not eat this then it goes back in the fridge and is served for every meal until she eats…

Only at grandma's house, lately I am glad that I live so far away (she is in MN and I am in AZ). I love her to death but she thinks I am tiny and need to eat (I am still overweight). A trip to grandma's house means 3 plates full of food and a large helping of dessert for every meal. While she eats 1 plate and 1/2 a helping…

My old favorite was bike riding. My current favorite is walking and I am trying hard 3-4 days a week to love running. I am not at that point yet but soon. A friend told me that if I just keep running something will click and I won't want to stop. I am training for my first 5k now.

At least that makes me feel a little better. My highest was 192 and I was wearing a 14. I started MFP at 183 still a size 14 and am now down to 164.......still a size 14 a loose 14 but a 14 all the same. At my lowest weight 125 I was still wearing a size 10 I have a tendancy to hour glass the lower I get so my hips don't…

My first pregnancy was a breeze (not sure if it makes a difference but it was a girl) I was overweight (not obese) to begin with and gained 12 lbs in my last trimester (all 12 plus about 10 lbs more were gone before I left the hospital). My second pregnancy (a boy) I had real issues with nausea and vomiting. I am afraid to…

I am a stay at home mother of 2 (2yr old and 1yr old) and a full time student. Feel free to add me.

Walking or riding bike to school with a group of older kids depends on your own comfort level. We went to daycare and the daycare lady had us walk to and from school (also just a little over a mile). The older kids 3rd through 5th grade had a responsibility to make sure that the younger ones made it to class and were to…

The first two explanations really spoke to me. My brother has reciently started to lose weight after weighing in at 399 lbs. My brother who has always been overweight and this was not helped with the way we grew up. Living on a hobby farm still means that there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done.…

That is amazing! I signed up for my first 5k. It is Nov 3rd. I am working on the C25K now and walking on my days off. Today for the first time I was really glad I was pushing the regular stroller and not the jogging stroller because I kept catching myself trying to run and the regular stroller causes more problems when…

I just got off a 2.5 month stint of not counting calories. The first month was bad while I did not gain anything I also did not lose anything. The second month, though I did not count or log calorie I did measure and use serving sizes for everything. If I was still hungry after one serving size, I would wait 20 minutes and…

I went through a brief period where my guy wanted to go out every night to the bar. We have been together for 10 years now. While I was not very happy that he wanted to go out every night. I also understood that he turned 21 and I still had a year to go before that happened. We did live by one rule, it was okay for him to…

When I take my kids (2yrs and 1yr) to the regular park my youngest stays in the stroller while the oldest plays and we are right with her. While I can't climb up with her we follow her from the ground. When it is time to swing. I load both into the swings and push them. That being said there is a toddler park not too far…

I was loading pics from my camera in feb. I saw a picture of myself in a pair of jeans that did not fit any longer. The worse part was I was just thinking how fat and unhappy I looked in the picture then I noticed the jeans. I started to workout that same day.

My goal this month is to get back with it. Between the chaos that was last month and my house being struck by a bad cold bug my only goal is to get back at it.

It does make you aware. I was shocked by how much I was really eating when I first started. Then when I thought I had it under control I stopped logging. Big mistake I went from losing 4-5 lbs a month to less than .5 lbs a month. Durring that time I was measuring everything but not logging it. One thing I have learned, I…

Woot Woot! Congratulations! When I went from Obese to Overweight in July I was so busy doing the happy dance for two days straight that I ended up with another 2 lb loss. I use the Wii fit plus to calculate bmi and weight and was so happy when it finally stopped saying thats obese. Congratulations again!

I am always worried when I am ready to weigh in. It is at its worse around my TOM every month I see a 4 lb increase and have even seen a 6 lb increase. The only good thing is the following weeks weigh in shows the 4-6 lb increase is gone and I have lost an additonal 2 lbs. Since the rest of the month I average 1/2-1 lb…

My phobia started as a simple adversion however turned into a phobia when I moved to Arizona. Entomophobia: The fear of insects. I am originally from MN where there are tons of insects but very few dangerous ones. Since moving here we have not had a great deal of luck in rental properties. Black Widdows, Scorpions, Brown…

Well this has been a month of total slacking. I have managed to gain an inch in my hips and while my CW is 165.6 most of that loss (loss of 1.5 lbs) can be contributed to being sick the last few days. To remotivate and get my butt in gear I am signing up for the color me rad 5k on Nov. 3. See now I have a reason to keep…

While it sounds like an awesome deal I am still saving up for my first fitting and pair of running shoes. Since I am determined to run this needs to take first priority.

SW: 167.1 I would love to lose at least 5 lbs this month. Neck 13.5 - no goal associated with that measurement. .5 inch would be great but not expected Waist 35 - A inch or two here would be awesome! Hips 41 - A inch or two here would be appreciated! Thighs 23.5 - An inch or two is what I would like to see lost here Upper…

Okay, while there are still two days left in the month today is a measurement/weigh in day for me so here are my results for the month. SW: 172.2 CW: 167.1 Total weight loss of 5.1 lbs. This makes me soooo happy! SM: Neck 13.5 ..... No change here SM: Waist 35 ...... No change here SM: Hips 41 ....... No change here SM:…

What a crazy couple of weeks. Children sick and when they are almost 2 and 1 having the flu scares the daylights out of them. I have been watching what I have been eating but I have been avoiding logging and in general logging on the site. I have found that I spend so much time looking at everything on here and logging…

You would be most disapointed then the bread bowls have been off the menu for 7 yrs. They changed them 8 yrs ago from the soft white ones to whole wheat with chedar and crushed red pepper sprinked rims. As for more time to exercise I am looking forward to and dreading it at the same time. I can't wait to have some more…

Had not really considered dancing as another way to move and burn calories but you are right. It is a great way to jump start a good mood. Right now I dance with my soon to be 2 yr old and my 11 mo old on my hip. The rule in the house is that if you are going to sit and watch a movie that is okay but if there is music you…

Please, Please, Please DON'T SAY THAT!!! I have not gotten back to my "usual weight" yet. I was 160-165 from 7th grade until I I got pregnant followed shortly there after by pregnant again. We are talking 15 years that I was the same weight (not including the 6 months when my thyroid went wonky and I dropped to 115 and…

[/quote] Good idea on the wii yoga. I have that wii fit, too, but don't use it that much. I usually have a highter score on the yoga than my husband. hee, hee. What is C25K? Couch to 5k app? I keep seeing it, but I don't know what it is. [/quote] Yes, C25K is Couch to 5k. This site is the one that I use…
