Instead of tracking weight loss, track inches lost. Hang in there! And remember, it took your body 9 months to gain the baby weight - give yourself at least 9 months to lose it. If you are breastfeeding, you may need extra calories. Like valwalter stated, you may not being eating enough calories each day. Keep up the great…

I'm interested and could really use some outside motivation and accountability, however I am going to be traveling for 3 of the 6 weeks and will have stretches of time that I won't have internet or cell service, so I will miss at least one weigh in. I'd like to be down 10 lbs by the end of October. It might be easier to…

I'm not a competitor, but I have often thought about it... I can't commit to it right now. Wishing you much success!

THIS IS AN AWESOME APPROACH! Set small goals, track your progress and celebrate these achievements! Take one day at a time. Set a goal to workout 5 days in a row or to make healthy eating choices 3 days in a row or to drink enough water. Your goals don't have to all be related to the scale, which is only a snapshot of your…

I'm interested in having some additional friends for motivation and accountability! I have a big event in 5 months that I want to be looking good for!

I empathize with you. I am ADHD too and struggle to follow thru on all my plans for meal planning and prep as well as exercise. I'm interested in everyone's suggestions.

If I was in the neighborhood, I would definitely have come over for the Blizzard Party. I would have brought homemade nut goodie bars (super yummy, but not at all healthy) and apple slices with peanut yogurt dip (also yummy, but healthy) as well as a bottle of Kinky and some Sprite. Being from MN, I am familiar with how…

If owning the 4th Dr's sonic screwdriver and a 12 ft scarf makes me a nerd, then count me in! :p I am just getting back on track after being derailed by the holidays. If you need one more friend to provide support, feel free to add me.

If you're going to wean off sugar, this is the way to go. Being a sugar addict, I haven't quite mastered giving it up completely, but the programs that help you step off of it gradually are way easier. A friend just told me about Tosca Reno's ebook called "Strike Sugar". She also does a strike sugar challenge. I'm going to…

Keep up the great work OP! There are lots of great links in this post that I am looking forward to reading in the near future.

Great question! The first few responses look supportive and promising. Just throwing in a comment so I can find this later and spend some time reading what I hope will be helpful and motivational information!

I always have my water bottle in hand or sitting on the desk/table next to me. Sometimes I add slices of fruit or veggies to it give it a little flavor boost. I have also bought some of the True Lemon or True Lime flavorings. I have found that it is harder for me to drink cold water, especially in the winter, so I drink…

Congrats on your upcoming show punkyx0!! I'm interested in any tips and advice anyone has to share as well. I'm thinking about competing in the future, I'm just a little afraid of all the hard work on the nutrition side of it.

My golf lesson and spending time with my BFF/husband. We're checking out a new Indian restaurant after golf, so lots of naan! I :love: naan!

THIS! You both may need to adjust your expectations around how clean the house has to be, especially while your daughter is young.

Jumping in to be able to find and read more of this thread later...

Fantastic job!

This is my down fall too! Too tired, hungry and/or stressed to care sometimes means slip ups.
-
Awesome post! Great food for thought! I will be pondering and working toward better defining my WHY but right now, my WHY is that I want to feel comfortable enough in a swimsuit so that I can participate in the scuba lessons my husband bought me for mother's day this year. Thanks again for the awesome post! (I was just…

My advice is to just remember that it takes 524 burpees to burn off a large fry. Burpees suck, so choose wildly!

I have experienced this too. I was measured at one of those fancy bra stores a few years ago and was a solid 36C. I am now finding that my cup size has gone up to a D. I'm going in to get properly measured again when I drop about 5 more pounds. I'm less than thrilled about needing a bigger cup size - I really like all the…

I pick my workout music based solely on my mood at the time of my workout, so it varies a lot. Sometimes it's Broadway theatre soundtracks or the music from the tv show SMASH or Micheal Buble or Sam Harris or sometimes it's Bon Jovi. Like I said, it varies... I just need something to listen to so my right brain is…

My list changes based on the recipes I have chosen to cook that week, however I wanted to share a dry bean idea a friend shared with me recently. She buys dry beans and cooks up the entire bag (in the crockpot). Once the beans are cooked and cooled, she measures them out into one cup servings and puts them into ziplock…

Way to go! Superhero Saturday sounds insanely crazy and a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing your heroics and inspiring story. Here's to another amazing Superhero Saturday for you!

Waxing is my preference too! I'm thrilled to be called a real woman for once! haha!

I'm interested in the dialogue this post has started...

Don't be sad, maybe people are just shy this morning! I'm not on MFP as much these days and I don't log my food or exercise anymore. (I got too obsessive about logging every single calorie and it sort of took over my life... so I am tracking eats and exercise old school with paper and pencil now.) That being said, I would…

Looks delicious! Thanks for posting this!

For running, I absolutely LOVE my Asics- Gel Nimbus 12s. :love: My feet look forward to being them, even after spending a 10 hour day on my feet in 3 inch thin heels! (Some days that is the only reason I get a run in - because my feet feel so good in my running shoes!!) Looking to replace them with the 13s before I can't…

Great post! Thank you for sharing this. I have been on a similar plateau lately and haven't been wanting to start weighing everything - but I guess it's time! Just another reason for me to hire a live in chef that is also a nutiritionist and personal trainer... (If only it were that easy!!)
