Hi everyone! I am due April 19th I have successfully used MFP to lose weight and keep it down for 4 years. I am hoping for a healthy pregnancy weightgain. I gained 60 with my daughter and son, my goal is probably half of that. I also had Gestational Diabetes with my last. I am hoping that with good eating habits and moving…

AMAZING!! You look like a different person. Very inspiring!

You can make it all you need is 1 bottle Kombucha store bought make sure it is raw/organic like GT's 1 teabag of black or green tea 1 tablespoon of sugar 1 glass jar ( I use a 3quart jar) 1 clean cloth or cheese cloth and a rubber band Clean and sanitize everything (vinegar is recommended) brew your black or green tea…

on cantaloupe or sweet potatoes mmmhmmmm:bigsmile:

The cedar plank tilapia is great, guilt free and filling too! The calorie count for Chilis is on their official website if you aren't into seafood I think they have some healthy meat entrees as well.

I'm down 4 pounds and I'm week 2 day 3 and feel a ton stronger! :bigsmile:

Just wanted to say my prayers are with you through your sugery:flowerforyou: G-Luck

I so needed to read this post, it already has me wanting to DIG DEEPER! I just started Insanity I'm on week 1 day 4 and I'm just going to come back to this post over and over for encouragement to complete the full 60 days. You are inspiring thank you!:flowerforyou:

You look AMAZING! I have one question though, when you were counting 1000-1200 calories did you add an additional 300-500 calories for breastfeeding? I am currently breastfeeding my son and I am noticing if anything that it is causing me to hold on to my last 10 pounds. So depending on how my supply is should I gradually…

Rachi is a nickname that my friends gave to me since I was 12 (apparently Rachelle was too long) And I started a yahoo email in 2004 and Rachi2004 was taken so I had to use rachi20024 and now it's been my user name for everything.

I had flounder the other night and the sauce that I whipped up made it! It had 2 tablespoons coarse ground mustard and 1/2 -1 tablespoons miracle whip or lite dressing and a sprinkle of dill. The sauce made the fish super creamy and good I feel like the kind of mustard used makes all of the difference. :flowerforyou:

how much honey?

this sounds wonderful. I will be trying this soon!:flowerforyou:

My prayers are with you, you can overcome any struggle presented to you as an opportunity.This is an opportunity for change and growth you can do this with the right attitude. I have faith in your ability to overcome:happy:

:laugh: :laugh:

I would go to allrecipes.com or if you like a good food visual like I do try tastespotting.com. MMMM moroccan. Good luck:flowerforyou:

Definetly add 500 for an infant that fully depends upon breastmilk. I add about 300 for my 9 month old who nurses 3 times a day and eats 3 solids a day. I add less if he eats less. Oh and I make it an exercise when I log it so it is automatically accumulated into my calorie intake. Hope this helps and glad you are giving…

That's great! I too find myself now disliking the smells and taste of things that I loved before. like my mothers cooking all I can taste is the 1/2 cup of olive oil she puts into everything:sick: . I used to enjoy it but now it's just gross. Sorry mom.

Good Afternoon, I completed 30 minutes on EA active and I am probably going to do it again. I would love to know ttthumper your customized workout that burns 600 calories:noway: . I feel the need to burn more calories in the shortest amount of time and one workout isn't cutting it for me. I hope everyone exceeds there own…

Good Evening! I did a looong day of heavy cleaning and took a hike w/ my son on my back and then came home and did 30 minutes on EA active so today has been productive to say the least. Also I am 3 pounds away from my goal weight!!!:happy: I am so excited and I am sooo happy I bought the EA active personal trainer I feel…

My stomach is going back nicely and I have gained and lost 60 pounds 2 times in the past 5 years from pregnancy:indifferent: . I am using nivea Q10 skin firming lotion and I would highly recommend it. I also use The Yellow Stick 100% Cocoa butter (which is 99 cents). I feel like my stomach looks better after this baby than…

Good Morning, I was super sore from my workout on EA active two days ago ( I felt like I rode a draft horse) :laugh: from all of the lunges, so I skipped a day and worked out today. I did 30 minutes of EA and started off sore but as I went through the different exercises my soreness seemed to fade. I am hoping to stay…

Good Afternoon, Today I did my second EA Active 30 day challenge workout on hard setting. It took a lot of motivation ( like watching the Biggest Loser) to do it but I did. I figured that if those contestants could dedicate themselves for 6 hours a day than I could at least do 25 minutes. Sometimes I need to realize other…

You can do it! I gained over 58 pounds with my son :indifferent: Anyways he is 9 months and I am finally on my last 6 pounds. I never though it would happen. Slowly and surely it has and I look better than I did before I had him:noway: Once I was 3 months post-partem I started to loose weight faster, but it may be…

My fess up for today is what I'm eating tomorrow(planned):blushing: Shrimp alfredo made w/ heavy cream and a homemade chocolate overdose cake:embarassed:

Good Afternoon! I have taken about a week break from my Wii and exercising altogether:grumble: due to no power and flatout laziness. Anyways I am done with excuses and I restarted EA active 30 day challenge on the hard setting. I feel great after I exercise, I really don't know why I didn't . So I am officially back on the…
