Almost hit my macros right on the head... even with a rough start to the day!

I go through phases... right now it's Kale. Before it was brussels sprouts. I cannot buy Dates anymore because I eat the whole container and while they're fine in moderation... you know...

I like Arbonne's Protein shake powder

I'm always over too... Might need to take it out as well... I probably would've already if I had know that was an option! i try to eat as clean as possible so I'm out of ways to fix it really.

Hi and welcome! Feel free to add me! I have 3 kids and my youngest just turned a year old last month. Still breastfeeding. I'll be on here for a year in March and have had great success although I still have about 20lbs to loose! I'll get there :)

I put it in smoothies and it's heavenly with a banana!

Yep! My husband and I have each other's nicknames on our fingers. We don't wear wedding bands... he can't for his job, already has had his finger almost torn off once. I didn't realize it was his right hand and not the left when his friend sent me a picture at 2 am one morning so I tease him telling him there are less…

You look fantastic!

You can do it again! You did it once before! Best of luck!

Love Old Navy brand compression gear! Surprisingly! I do love Lululemon but I can't justify the price on the majority of their stuff especially with my sizes changing so quickly. Once I stabilize and maintain then I might treat myself to few things. Also, Moving Comfort has some great stuff too! Carpris. fitted shorts (any…

I have the polar FT4. it's like 60 bucks on amazon and worth every penny. It does have a chest strap and I was really hesitant at first to do a chest strap but I hardly noticed it right from the start. Love it!

Okay cool! That makes sense! Got the TDEE calculation down and I think I'm ready to go from there! Thanks a bunch for your help!

doing my first distance marathon in may and training for a 1/2 marathon in late spring. I would love to be doing a marathon by fall. i typically run a 5k disntance at least 3 days per week (obviously not an organized race) and plan on picking it up more when my husband gets home on March!

congrats! You look fabulous! Love your hair in both pics too btw!

It sucks for the waitress but she should've blacked out the name at least. It sucks but sadly it's part of the job the you're inevitably going to end up dealing with nasty people. I'm a nurse and I run into mean abusive people frequently. It doesn't give me the right to post personal info online, even if it's just the…

Jogging stroller. You can probably find them fairly cheap on Craigslist. Playgrounds... improvise... you can do all sorts of things such as pullups, pushups, situps, lunges etc while chasing him around on the playground. Buy a jump rope. They're cheap and a great cardi and buy him one too so he can imitate you or drag it…

Hi Ladies, Glad I came across this! I had my Mirena placed last summer after my husband came home from deployment and even he noticed as early as 3 days later changes in my mood. I've had severe mood swings and I've gained back 20lbs. I've also suffered other side effects such as severe cramping and horribly heavy periods.…

Love my K-cup filter :) I'm the only coffee drinker in the house anyways!

Couch to 5k Good running music (helps to set a pace) Good running shoes Keep with it! You'll me amazed how far you will come! I seriously couldn't do intervals between lamp posts last March and now I'm training for a half marathon! I'm not a running lover but I have such an appreciation for going from not being able to run…

Do a program like Couch to 5k. I used the 5k running app every other day schedule and am currently using the 21k Runners app. I've learned to love it and before i started couldn't even run for a minute at a time. I've been running since May :) Keep it up!!!! You'll have good runs and bad ones... just keep on trekking!!!

Ugh I feel your pain! I'm currently not working to stay home with my kids but was a graveyard shifter forever! If it's an option ever... get off of it! Otherwise, I would say exercise before you go to work. If you're anything like me and already trying to sleep during the daylight hours your internal sleep timer is already…

Love any kinda eggs! I mostly just do egg whites to cut the calories since I eat them so much!

Once I ran my first race, I was hooked! The adrenaline rush and feeling after you you finish it, is amazing!

I'm pretty sure I even hair dye in my hair!!!!! (For all you new people out there... when you take your before picture.. make it as pretty as…
