Smiles and Kim I have been thinking about you and your situations for the better part of the last two days. My positive thoughts and prayers are with you. I am in a similar situation job wise. I quit what was the "almost perfect" job (for my family) back in November to be a stay at home mom. I love being a stay at home mom…

Hi all- SW: 172.2 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! This is the first measurement on my Thighs 25- Not expecting much…

They are doing a glucose test, a test to make sure that all my vitamin and mineral levels are in check. Specifically checking sodium levels and Vitamin D. Due to my fair skin my body does not absorb vitamin D so it just builds up to bad levels (I think the Vit D will be okay since I have been getting a lot of sun, with…

I was born and raised in Minnesota but moved to Arizona with my hubby when he was laid off of work. It is hot all the time. I miss Minnesota and would love to move back but gotta stay where the money/jobs are.

Hi, I am Abigail or Abby I am 28 years old. I am a stay at home mother of two Isabella 23 months and James10 months. I love to read and I am currently working on a degree in Education. My original goal back in Feb. was to lose 50lbs by August. When I realized that was not going to happen anytime soon I decided that I don't…

Well today is a new day and the fridge is mostly empty. Just got back from the wedding and a day of sight seeing in San Francisco, beautiful place! Today is a list making day. after 30+ hours in a vehicle, in 5 days 12 of which was done yesterday my kids need a break from the car so grocery shopping is gonna have to be…

5 Things I Love about myself...... 1) I love the fact that I am calm, cool and collected. One of my ex-bosses discribed me as having a light blue aura like calm water. While it can make meeting people and making friends a challenge as some people take it as snobbery I am the first person people come to in a crisis. The…

Can't wait for the green smoothie post. please include a recipe. I have tried it before but did not really like it. I am however a fan of greens in a salad. I buy a pack at Costco at least once a week of mixed baby greens. Speaking of which I should finish that up tomorrow since we are leaving in the afternoon.

Breakfast for the boys is big. Egg bakes, meat n eggs, pancakes or french toast with a fruit topping and homemade jam (syrup makes them sick in the heat) and oatmeal are regular breakfast fare in my house (not all at once). On the other hand I usually have cereal (love Honey Bunches of Oats) and sometimes fruit with it. On…

Congrats on the weight loss. We are headed out Thurs or Friday for a short holiday and I am praying for time to swim so I can keep it up. I am hopeing that with this wonderful group I won't fall off the motivation waggon when I get back.

Kim- Love how the fridge looks. Mine is getting there. We love meat so mine is stocked with that as well. Really like the idea of cutting and washing everything. I go one step further and either tupperware or baggie pre-measured fruits/veggies and snacks. Your Dinner sounds wonderful to me with a little meat, however, it…

So yesterday was a bust in the exercise department. The kids slept in Yeah and oh noooooo. Yeah because that ment mama got to sleep in to, since my son was up half the night I was really happy. Oh nooooo because it was already 90 and just too hot to have a 9 mo old outside for 45 min plus while I rode my bike. I had every…

Me too! my first was born when I was 26 and the second when I was 27.

Yummy, that is one of my favorites from them! Although I sub in a different apple as I really don't like red delicious.

Good to know I will check it out later next week. I am headed to a wedding in CA this weekend so I am going a little crazy trying to get everything ready to go.

A little bit about me...... My name is Abigail or Abby for short. I love to listen to music and dance (only if I am at home). Don't ask me who sings what song because I honestly don't know I turn the radio on, spin the dial and just work with whatever comes on for the day. I also LOVE to READ!!!!! I am a stay at home…

I have sent you a friend request. Your diary is not open at this time so I don't know how many calories you are eating each day which makes the question a little hard to answer. It is generally accepted that you should consume, with exercise calories, no less than 1200 calories a day. However there are many different…

Welcome, I sent you a friend request. Feel free to take a look at my logs anytime. Please don't be alarmed by today. I spent the morning running errands so we could enjoy father's day at the in-laws this afternoon. I try to ride bike every morning and stick some other fun things in through out the day. Weight lifting is…

The biggest thing I am looking for in a membership is childcare on premisis with the membership price or a little extra added into the monthly fee. I am a SAHM and my significant other (I always feel weird saying that we have been together for almost 10 years and our families just consider the other our spouse) co-owns his…

This sounds like a great group to join. When I first started back in Feb my goal was to drop 50lbs by Aug. I got no where and stopped loging on. I am back and ready to get working hard. I have since changed my plan. While I would still like a total loss of 50lbs I have realized just how impossible it is to do it in such a…

I am with you all the way. I have about 40lb more to lose and it is starting to get hot eariler. I have two little ones as well (not twins 22 mo girl and 9 mo boy) we ride bike every morning. l started late this morning and we stopped at the park on the way back. I seriously thought it was already 100 degrees and when I…

I started at the 1200 cal and lost 1lbs in 4 weeks. I changed mine baised on the recomendations of the eat more weigh less group. I figured it could not hurt to try, having only lost one pound. I calculated a 25% loss and the maintnence. I attempt to eat between those two numbers on a daily basis. Since I started 3 weeks…

I am just coming off of a short slack off. I am a stay at home mom of two my daughter is 22mo and my son is 9 mo. Between running after them and my significant other who is currently running his own business (construction trade) I find it easier to eat junk. Honey works long hours and when he gets home all he wants to do…

I love cottage cheese and eat it almost daily. One way to hide the texture I found is use it as a salad dressing on mixed baby greens. yummy! and it makes eating baby greens easier for me. I prefer romaine or iceburg because I don't need as much dressing but with cottage cheese on baby greens I don't even use dressing.

I am a fair skinned red head. I am currently using baby coppertone SPF 75 for daily use and on heavy sun days I buy SPF 100 not always easy to find, so I am not brand specific but prefer coppertone or any sport/waterproof, but it is worth the search otherwise I will burn in 30 minutes or less.

Feel free to add me. I am on multiple times daily. Love this site and the support it gives me in making the right choices and the motivation I get from seeing what others have accomplished.

I just added you, I am on daily

Not saying that this works for everyone but I was having a difficult time getting rid of any weight. I found the eat more weigh less group, did a metabolism reset they suggest a minimum of 4 weeks but recomend 8 weeks. Since I was fairly new to the low cal way and was eating way over my maintenance I actually went with…

I added you and anyone else who asked. I am an active user and just figured out that since MFP is autologged on it sometimes does not register that I have been on every day so my reading is only at 5 days. When I log on to my phone it counts it so I will try to log on daily with it. I am a SAHM with zero money for a gym…
