Welcome to MFP. I have been through the no eating, purging and laxative times myself. I am now the mother of a 5 year old and 2 year old boys. It seems to be harder for me to lose weight now that I am 30, and have no time to work out, but this site has really helped me to stay in check and make good choices and not fall…

Welcome aboard. I am a 31 year old Mom of two rowdy boys, so that is my motivation, to keep up with them. I have done the rollercoaster diet for years. This site has really helped me stay focused. Good luck on your journey!

It depends how motivated you are and how motivated the friends you choose are. Mine help me out huge. They keep me motivated and thier achievements keep me going.

I am on my second week. The first week killed I was so sore, but I am on level 2 and have lost 5 pounds and can already see a difference in my body. Good luck, stay with it even if you want to quick. Jillian will kick your *kitten*, but it is worth it!

I am a huge, I mean huge binger around my time of the month. I just try to only keep healthy foods in the house, so that if I do binge, it isn't on chips and cheese (my weaknesses). Also water, chug the water, whenever you find yourself staring in the fridge. It is a total battle, but giving into your binge, can sometimes…

Beautiful.

Must... Stay.... Focused... For.... Longer.... Than.... A.... Week! I second that. I do good all week long, then the weekend hits, start all over on Monday.

I know how you are feeling. It is hard, but you have to not look at the negative, stay positive and enjoy in any little sucess you have, because it is better than the alternative. Losing weight is a struggle, but you are making a life change and that takes time. You are training yourself. So smile, you have taken the first…

It isn't hard to find friends who are willing to give you kind words and a little kick in the butt when you need it. Add me!

You sometimes just the high you get after you workout does the trick. I done the you have work out fat a** thing to myself too, but sometimes the more positive way is the best way. I just remember, when I am done everthing else just seems better, it is my stress reliever.

Everyone needs that support system, to be understood. No you can't do it on your own. I now I struggle everyday with food, exercise and finding the motivation in my busy day to keep up with it all.

Same here. You can't do it alone. It would be nice to have to encouragment and be able to give it back.

Good for you for talking it out. Good or bad you have to be honest with each other. He can't read your mind. Just stay strong for yourself. You don't want to pass your insecurities on to your kids. Just realize that at the end of the day, you have to love you. We all struggle with insecurities, but the things that really…

I am a night time eater, bad. Keeping track of my calories helps me put my eating into prespective. I try to keep myself busy doing chores around the house or playing with my kids. Once I am in bed, I have to say, that is it. Sometimes I will walk into the kitchen and open all of the cubbards and look through the fridge…

Wow. That makes my heart soar. Good for you! You are truly a inspiration. :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the tips. I need all the help I can get!

Hi Jennifer! Welcome back on the wagon, I just got back on myself. Good Luck!

I have so been there. I always had a issue with my weight. In high school & college I dated some guys who made me feel like by body was never good enough. I went through the not eating, purging & laxatives. I was very thin when I married and got pregnant with my first son. When you are pregnant it is totally normal to feel…
