Is been really moody the last few days. Sometimes syncing, sometimes not. And then sometimes its only reflected on some of my devices and not on others !?! Hopefully it will be back to normal soon.

My sugar is always high bc I LOVE grapes... Lol. I don't worry about it too much other then when I eat so many grapes it upsets my stomach... Lol... If only I was joking ;).

$2 vs $240 plus a bad reaction to Ambian. Sounds like good reasoning to me... Lol. Unfortuately weight gain is pretty common :P Edit: darn autocorrect....

Is there a reason that your doctors chose to use an antidepressant off label vs using a sleep med like Ambian? Edit: elavil is used to treat sleep frequently for individuals resistant to other sleep ,eds. However it is a very odd first line drug for sleep use unless you have other issues like depression, sleep walking, etc.

Your local health organization is correct. Our bodies are extremely adaptable and will learn to do activities with less effort (ie it gets easier and your heart rate doesn't go up as high assuming the same effort, time, distance, etc). Good luck in your journey!

Iron levels? If you cut a lot of red meal out of your diet and didnt replace them w green leaves like spinach, you could be experiencing fatigue from iron deficiency. As someone mentioned, try a multivitamin. :). If that doesn't help, see your doctor!

Pear above 120, hourglass under (under 5 ft for weight perspective). Come from a family of pears.

Someone suggested this to me as a way to take ones eyes off the scale and still maintain. Once you reach your desired weight/size pick an outfit that looks great on you (preferably cut more fitting). Once a week try on said outfit to see how it fits. Getting too snug, your slipping. Getting too lose, your still losing when…

Glad it all worked out. Being short myself, I know hat a pain buying pants can be ;)

Score for you!!! Maybe consider keeping some of them with their tags like the other poster suggested. If your body does change then you can always take those in and exchange them for a smaller size. Hopefully the smaller size will look just as amazing on you :). I find fitting into different pants can be affected by time…

I'm on the smaller side and find that it doesn't take that many pounds to vary in pants sizes (anywhere from a 00 to a 4 with 15 lbs). But I guess it really depends on your body componsition and where you carry your weight. Complete aside: Where the heck can you find 7 pairs of jeans for $100??? Or do you mean $100 each?

Have you tried a gentle leader with a short leash?

This Edit: Just realized this was from 2010... lol... was wondering about that last post...

Have you seen a psychiatrist or your family med doc? There are medications that will subvert sleep walking. Also unusual behaviors in sleep tend to increase with stress. So good self care is also important. Good luck!

Intensely jealous of your closet ;)

Sounds like your mom is trying to make excuses for why family members are the way they are. The thought is probably so ingrained as a family myth, it's become fact. Yes, it's harder to lose the weight after a baby because body composition and hormone levels can change. Yes, genetics plays a part in body type. However, not…

Request sent :). Welcome back!

Good for you! That first step into a counselors office is super scary for a lot of people but it sounds like you have a lot to want to feel better for (yourself, your wife, and the new addition). Congrats by the way!

Self esteem from weight loss can be frail. Instead consider increasing your self esteem seperate to your weight loss. It will probably actually help you in the weight loss journey. Best of luck in finding happiness, be it with or without mr. tall dark and handsome.

Oh, I'm sure there is probably some number 2 in there somewhere too... Sad but true....

Raises hand *doing the ansty dance that little kids do when they need to pee* Loss great weight with one of your challenges last time. Unfortuately I gained it back and need the extra motivation to loss again :). Already send you a message :).

LMAO! Always ask for the other menue... There are two in many authentic resturants... just to keep from scaring those who are not seeking the real stuff... OP: Something steamed should be good. Seafood or veggies are also reasonably safe choices.

Congrats!!

Huh.... good to know next time... lol!

I find that it's hard to eat large amounts of very dark chocolate. Have you tried switching to dark chocolate? I went through a HUGE chocolate phase when I was breastfeeding. I ate dark chocolate and worked out to ensure I stayed in my calorie goals. Good luck!

I was SOOO thinking the same thing... Edit: Ok, some are picking number two because they like the Rock but it's interesting the amount of projecting that is going on here...

If you have your body media synced with you myfitnesspal you don't manually input calorie burn unless you put in the exact times you were working out. If you are putting the times you are working out then you should be good to go.

I'll be the bad guy here and go with the fitness model.

WTG ;)

Lol! Love it!
