Its easy if you eat healthier foods, cut the fast food/soda, don't binge and exercise daily. I've actually had a harder time losing the 50lbs I did the second time while counting calories but I'm pretty sure that has a lot to do with being exhausted and not having the time to work out every day (until recently) because of…

Yup I did. A few years ago I lived in Florida and worked overnights as did my husband. We got off work and went to the gym every day except the weekends. I did a circuit training thing they had there and ran on the treadmill; on the weekends we went to the beach when the weather was nice. I lost 50lbs that way and then…

Is it a hibachi restaurant where they cook the food in front of you? Those usually come with your choice of meat, veggies, usually white or fried rice and miso soup or salad. Beyond that my knowledge of Japanese food sucks because I always wanna sit at the hibachi lol

I've been watering them 3x a day so far. I've been wetting them down in the morning and evening and then soak them in the afternoon when the heat is the worst. Georgia is kinda in the middle of a drought (again >_<) so we've only got light sprinkles for the last month or so. I actually started into this kinda late in the…

Doing W3 D3 later today! I have been able to do all the runs so far without having to stop and yesterday I even upped my last run from 4.0 to 4.5! Going to try to do all my walking at 3.5 and my running at 4.5 today :D I love coming here and seeing how everyone is making awesome progress keep up the work guys!

Its true for those who "diet" but those who make the effort to regularly exercise and eat healthy regardless of weather they are overweight or not will not because they will have made a lifestyle change. You can be unhealthy in your "Healthy" range just like you can in the overweight range if you don't exercise or eat too…

I'm in C25K W3 right now and just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed it so good luck and have fun! Also for anyone doing it on the treadmill without the podcasts or anything like that if you Google C25K treadmill it will pull up a page that has all the times you switch for walking and running, its really helped keep me…

Same I stopped counting them when my daughter turned 1 but shes still going at 20 months so I know I'm still burning something off.

I believe in the first year it is 500 and after that its 300. You also need a minimum of 1800 calories in the beginning to maintain your supply but after it is established you can start lowering it a bit. Here this link may help you, Kellymom.com is a great resource for breastfeeding…

Way to go! You are doing an amazing job!

AMAZING! Congrats on your loss and here is to you losing more! It is very inspiring to me!

Welcome to MFP! I work part time as a secretary and full time as a mom to a 1 1/2 year old little girl! It can be such a challenge to lose weight with kiddos running around but you can do this :) Feel free to add me I can always use another mommy friend to keep me inspired and I will do my very best to keep you going too!

I've done it, when I go threw I delete anyone who hasn't been active in the last month. I don't really have anyone on my list who stands out as a whiner so I guess I pick them good lol I've really been psyched up to exercise since I ended my plateau and am now officially the lightest I've been in my adult life.

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine losing a child it gives me goosebumps and I wish I could just give you a huge hug. I believe that those special little twins of yours picked out that baby to come to you and that they will always be looking out for you from above.

I ended up doing both W2D2&3 today! I was surprised that I could make it threw the entire hour and still be walking around the store afterwards! Go me! Gonna try to do W3 and W4 next week so I can be caught up with you guys :)

I am so sorry for your loss, I've always taken the loss of pets very hard myself because they are like part of my family. We recently had to re-home our dog for various reasons and I was able to be strong/tough on the way to dropping him off but I cried like a little girl for the rest of the day. This was just a few weeks…

I live in Georgia and its been in the 90s/100s since summer started, if it was just me having to be out there for 30 minutes it would probably be ok but I know I'd have to take my daughter with me in her stroller and I don't really want to keep her out in that heat for that long. The reason we started going to the gym in…

I decided to just call right now and they can switch it! I just have to fill out some paperwork and then I'll be primary and can go without him!! I am sooo freaking excited!

I am unsure, I keep meaning to ask but always forget (such bad memory lol) but I'm going to write it on my arm so I ask today! (can't lose my arm very easily!)

Did W2D1 yesterday, doing W2D2 today! Hopefully I can get it all in today and tomorrow so I can do W3 the first 3 days of next week and then the last 3 W3 so I can catch up and be on the same page as everyone! Shouldn't be a problem since quarter ends on Monday and I will be free for the next 3 or so weeks and then 1…

If you knew me you would know that I am terrified that my husband will die young and leave me all alone to raise our daughter. He has so many health problems it is ridiculous, he is going in for a disc replacement surgery sometime in the near future and I am so terrified that he won't make it back off that table that when…

Welcome back! I'm glad that you decided to join us again :) It doesn't matter if you can't keep up with everyone some of us will have to repeat weeks and some of us (like me) have to postpone a week but this is still a journey we can all do together and support one another!

They are awesome :D I've heard of some people who will take an entire weekend to cook all the food for meals for the month and then freeze it. I really want to do that because then I'd always have something to thaw and eat easily and would keep me away from junk.

Do you have a crock pot? You can make a ton of delicious home made food in crock pots while you are at work! That way when you come home everything is done or you can cook it overnight while you sleep, put it in the fridge and then reheat later that day! We usually use ours to do a beef stew and its probably my favorite…

If you really knew me you would know that I am clinically depressed, have suffered from it since puberty and was really good at hiding it because I felt like I would be a burden on anyone I told. Thankfully I took my fate into my own hands instead of believing this is just how it is and got help about a month ago, pretty…

This! GV was the ONLY thing that has ever worked to get rid of thrush for us. Just be careful because it stains EVERYTHING it touches! (babies with purple mouths are hilarious) Also call around to pharmacies to see if they have it or you could wind up wasting a lot of time, I had to have the Kroger pharmacy order it for me…

Never been told I looked like anyone but I get a lot of "Where did you go to school at?" or "Where are you from? Do I know you?" I guess I just have one of those faces lol

Ok so I'm apparently not going to the gym this week (I hate that the gym membership isn't in my name!) but I am STILL going to do this I am just going to be a week behind all of you! Which is fine but I am not giving up!

Aw that sucks but glad that you are on my friends list now! Finals are always so stressful, I've got another two weeks left in school before any sort of break.

Second day of starting or upping any work out is always the worst for me
