You guys are great! Thanks for coming through for me! I was so unsure, but now I see clearer and feel really supported! Did I mention how much I LOVE this website? I am going to the section on us "preggies" later today, too! And try the other sites as well! I mentioned I work at a hospital...I tell all my patient's about…

Great tip, I'll try it...thanks for the suggestion!

I'm with you, sister! This last week I have REALLY slid off that slippery slope, too...(sigh). No exercise and didn't count calories and didn't watch what I was shoving into my face. Working different days of the week (12 hour day shifts) every week is havoc on any routine I try. BUT..... I have also recommited, I didn't…

Thanks girls! It all sounds yummy--I'll start tomorrow night! -R

What foods will keep me satisfied towards the end of the night, but won't keep me up peeing all night (water)? I work 12 hours shifts, get off work late and want a food that satisfies longer so I don't have to eat too close to bed.

DON'T diet, change the way you live. Start out slowly and add as you go: Exercise and managing food intake and nutritional soundness. As humans we form a habit in 18 days. Start with the habit of walking 1/2-1 mile per day. Just walk. Eventually it becomes a habit and you'll miss it on days you can't find the time to do…

I eat LOTS of salad with warmed no skin chicken breasts or tunafish for PM meal and recommend spray dressings as they taste good and work really well as a low calorie, high taste addition. Rice with veggies at noon meal and use Mrs. Dash for seasonings (there are 7 or 8 and all are pretty good.) I like crunchy foods, so I…

MY GOAL IS TO CHANGE MY LIFESTYLE for good, NOT to DIET! BEFORE I had my children I worked out regularly and did both cardio and weight training. I also ran 5-7 miles at a time, 2-3 days per week for endurance purposes. At that time I had 8% body fat and some mean calves on me. Soon I turn 36, I have 24 pounds to get to my…
