I've been curious about it...

Great thread! I'm getting lots of good ideas here. And it's nice to know I'm not alone! :)

I just turned 30! Happy to join the club :) I wanna (WILL!) drop 2 pants sizes by my family's Christmas party. My baby is almost one year old.... so no more excuses! MFP has always been my most successful tool, so I just came back today, and I'm committing to logging in and tracking every single day. I'll add you Jannah!…

awesome article! I'm totally going to start eating w/ my left hand!

Hello! I see I'm in a similar boat to some of you, so please add me! I'm breastfeeding my daughter (#4), born 11/9/13. I'm 23lbs from goal weight, 15 lbs from pre-preg. I'd love some accountability and motivation on here too! Gotta break some bad habits picked up during pregnancy (ie: late night snacking - esp on ice cream…

Hi there! Wow, so many responses on here! Thought I'd chime in, because my PCOS case is a little unique. I'm not really overweight - 162lbs and I'm 5'10. But I feel better and look better closer to 150. My PCOS was diagnosed when I was 18 and in college, running track and cross country. I had wondered why my period was so…

I agree with Ziaki. Save 100 calories for a 9pm snack. Ideally, a protein snack. I just had a little lettuce wrap - a couple turkey slices, tomato slices, in a big lettuce leaf. Yummy, and great for pre-bed!

Insanity!! No equipment needed! Though P90X is great too....but Tony has a little bit of a foul mouth, and that annoys me to hear while working out. I like that Insanity is a 60 day program versus P90X is 90 days. Watch out - once you get into the Beach Body programs, it's a multi-level marketing company - they're going to…

Holy cow. How long did it take you to write that?!

Utah! GO BYU! Just moved to Bountiful from Cedar City. Raised in Spokane though.

way to go! Great job!

me too!! Totally can relate.

It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to take in enough calories.... just make a nice healthy protein smoothie once a day - throw in some peanut butter and/or bananas, protein powder. frozen fruit, whole milk..... easy and yummy! Giving your baby breastmilk is more important than loosing weight, so be sure not to lose…

Sounds so yummy! I have a vita mix so I don't peel the fruit. More nutrients!

I have the solution! MCDONALDS! Their new oatmeal is SO good! It has fruit bits in it and is $2. Your kids might eat it better cuz it came from a restaurant! Then you can tell them, "hey, let's make this ourselves at home!"

I say go for an easy bike ride. That might feel really good to your body and ease the cramps!

I know exactly how you feel! Those $%^&* weekends! If only I could skip them..... oh wait, then I'd have nothing to look forward to :smile: :happy:

that was a really funny story :smile:

We are in the exact same boat! I haven't been on this site for about 5 weeks... but before that I journaled everyday for 2 months. I was doing great - til the vacation, then post-vacation business... excuses, excuses. Now I'm about 7 lbs over too - and very eager to lose it!

This really was a great article - and very fascinating - esp. the part about willpower!

Yikes - I know how ya feel. I would just suggest not to let it consume your thoughts. Life is too short.

...and you don't even like chocolate! That IS nuts! And so funny at the same time. Great story - glad I'm not alone!
