Yes! I remember every end of the school year we had to run a 600yrd 'dash' as part of our gym test or whatever it was... I was always last to finish because I could only run about the first 45 seconds and then walk the rest of the way. I went on to join the military which involved running all the time and passed my run on…

Before and After side view Arms after This isn't recent, this was my success after having my first baby. I just had my second so im on the road to losing the weight again {although luckily I didn't gain as much as I did the first time}.

I had the Mirena for 4yrs and I only gained a few pounds but I won't blame the IUD for that :P However I do believe it made it harder for me to lose the weight once I started. I did everything that I was 'supposed' to do and worked out 6 days a week and my weight loss was very very slow compared to any other times ive lost…

I really want to eat Reece's Peanut Butter cups but I won't do it because I know I will end up binging on the whole bag! So instead I make my own version with extra dark chocolate, coconut oil and peanut butter. Does that mean I am depriving myself because im not eating the actual 'Reece's' and instead opting to make my…

Not sure, interesting though. However I make an awesome honey mustard dressing that has apple cider vinegar in it :D

Reeces Peanut Butter cups are always my craving when I have a sweet tooth so I made my own healthy version {natural, extra dark chocolate, coconut oil and natural Peanut Butter} and they were delicious. Pinterest is where I found the recipe {they have a lot of good sweets' recipes on there for snacks when having a sweet…

Just with the few threads that I have seen {about clean eating and Paleo}, they turned ugly. I still can’t wrap my head around it. I can understand why some would come onto a defense if said person was trying to ‘promote’ a way of eating ‘paleo, clean… etc’ but to come onto attack mode against someone asking simple…

I think it has an addicting factor, most certainly. Every morning I have my coffee, not only because of the caffeine to wake me up, but for that sweet, creamy, sugary taste. I put sugar in my coffee and once I have my cup I feel content. If I don’t have my sweet cup of coffee, watch out! It’s like a fix. I do not use…

Lol why does it matter if she used the word 'Paleo'?

Hmm not sure about Paleo bread. I have had the sprouted grain bread {Ezekiel} but im sure that’s not Paleo… The cinnamon raisin kind is delicious! Between this Paleo thread and the clean eating thread I feel like I am supposed to eat a couple of slices of pizza or a cheeseburger for dinner tonight and if I don’t then im…

Firstly, you need to do what you feel is best for you and your goals. ‘Clean eating’ seems to be a sticky situation on MFP. I currently eat clean about 95% of the time {with my definition of clean meaning non-processed food}. I don’t indulge with the stuff I used to eat, not because I think I won’t* lose weight if I do but…

What exactly are you looking for in this 40 days time? Six pack abs, legs of steel? Like previously mentioned, the scale doesn’t lie. You have lost, keyword *lost* 24lbs and that is a pretty big accomplishment. Heck I have only lost 8lbs so far but I feel so much better and stronger and just overall a lot healthier then…

Great job! I’m not sure why everyone gets in a tizzy whenever a clean eating post pops up. I do agree it’s about calories.. etc but there is nothing wrong with clean eating either. I eat clean about 95% of the time and I feel great. I know it’s not for everyone and that’s OK, but I know for me, processed {or commonly known…

And for the visual, here is my before and after from when I lost weight after my first pregnancy {I am currently on track to losing weight after recently having my daughter, luckily I didn't gain as much this time lol}. I was actually heavier then what I was in the before photo. My son was born in February of 2008 and I…

My highest weight was a little over 240lbs {with my first pregnancy} and I can assure you, I got down to 145 and did not have any loose skin. Like previously mentioned... as long as you do it at a slow pace, do it the right way, drink lots of water, eat nutritious food... your body will amaze you at what it can and will be…

My mother called me fat when I was a child {yet she was the one serving me the food...???}. Part of the reason why we have no relationship today. Granted, there are many, many other factors involved in that situation but being called fat as child by your own parent... you remember those things as an adult and they caught…

I am 5’3 and my current weight is 187. I had a baby in September {2nd one} so I am currently on track to lose the baby weight. My pre-preggo weight was 166 but my ultimate goal weight is anywhere between 120-130, which I have never been at my entire adult life… so it would be nice lol. Friend request{s} sent, all if any…

I have had 2 c-sections and from experience all I can say is that it takes time. BUT, make sure you are eating good nutritious foods and drinking LOTS of water. I believe what helped me the first time to shrink my belly was the water. I say the first time because my daughter is 7 months old and I am currently on this…

I think juicing is great for getting in veggies/fruits that you normally wouldn't eat. I personally wouldn't go on an all juice diet... I don't have anything against them but I like substance to my food. With that said my Husband juices about once a day. He will mix in celery, carrots, beets, apples, kale... etc which goes…

When I was a senior in H.S I decided to sign up for the Military but I needed to drop 50lbs to do so. One of my best friends in the beginning was supportive and even wanted to workout with me and eat healthy with me. After about 2 weeks she stopped altogether. I went on to lose the 50lbs, not just because I needed to but…

My family. I have two kids, recently had our daughter {we have a 6yr old boy as well}. I feel more motivated as ever to be fit and healthy to set a positive example for my daughter, especially since girls can be so critical of themselves.

You need to eat fruits and vegetables. Your diary lacks any sort of vitamin or nutrient which also plays a part in weight loss. You previously mentioned somewhere in this thread that you are afraid to eat clean because fruits and vegetables don’t have as many calories. It’s a lifestyle change. While yes, our main focus is…

It's the opposite of a clean eater ;-)

Organic grilled chicken breast w/steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Snacks are celery/carrot and orange bell pepper {sliced into strips} w/tuna {tuna is mixed with plain greek yogurt and organic mustard and some pepper}, and an Orange.

We don't live close to any family so it was just the husband, I and the kids. We just stuck to our normal routine. For dinner I had a smoothie lol {pineapple, mango, strawberry, banana, greek yogurt, coconut milk}.

With my first I gained 80lbs and lost close to 100 within a year after he was born. This time around it's been a lot slower BUT I know some will drop weight like nothing when they breast feed. Not me. My body hung on to every little oz no matter what I did {my daughter self weaned about a month ago so no more breast…

Should you not eat? Um no lol. You have to eat. Not eating anything at all is just as bad as eating way to much. All you can do is just pick yourself back up, brush the dust off and get back on track. The past is in the past. Nothing you can do about it but you are in control of what happens on the road ahead.

Thank you everyone! @victoria090 They will be giving me a temp one first until I get the permanent one :)

No.... I mean I never knew much about calories until a couple of years ago but I always knew you had to eat the right stuff along with working out. 80% diet, 20% fitness.
