Wow that is awesome, keep up the great work!!

Good luck, I hope it is accurate!

i know exactly how you feel! I would like to know the answer to this too, because I can't seem to eat all my calories either without going over carbs- thanks for asking this question!

I'm sorry girl, that really stinks. Are you able to speak witha nutritionist? They may be able to come up with a good meal plan for you so you get all your nutrients, but not the extra calories. I will talk to some people I know, and try to help you come up with a nutritious meal plan if you like.

Thanks everyone, i appreciate all your input and great advice, I feel so much better now!

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, I made my diary public, so if you would like to check it out, please do!

You could try One A Day weight Smart Vitamins. I loved them, and they have a bit of caffiene in them to boost your energy level throughout the day.

Do you eat with them? I know when I take certain vitamins on an empty stomach, i feel so sick. Try eating with them and see if that helps.

Well, I hated the way the Mirena made me feel- and I didn't like the fact that it could hinder weight loss (like any BC), so I had it removed. We aren't trying to conceive, per say, but I wouldn't be upset if I got pregnant again. I know for a fact I cannot be prego, because my TOM finally came on monday. Good luck on…

UPDATE: I'm not pregnant! It turns out when I had the Mirena removed, it just messed up my cycle, and my hormones- but i'm back on track now.

Thanks everyone for your advice, and I will definitely keep everyone updated!!!

Wow- Kudos on your 50 mile hike. Even though you might not be losing the weight you want, you should give yourself a little credit for being able to complete such a strenuous activity. How much water do you drink? I know when I up my daily water supply, I start to see some results- it's like the fat flushes out,lol.

I really liked this article! She is beautiful and REAL!

Hey that's a good idea to have restaraunts post their nutrition facts. I wish they would too, it really would help us all out.

I just put in my current stats, and changed my goal weight, so now I have 12 more pounds to go!

I am having a hell of a time losing the last little bit too! I have started lowering my carbs to see if that will help. I have also started to incorporate interval training, to really blast the calories. I am going home on leave for two weeks tomorrow, but when I get back, I am going to start P90X Classic. I started it…

Thanks for the post, very inspirational and informative. I did not know what the normal RHR was. Mine is at 54 bpm right now, so I guess all that running and verious other activities I do on a regular are paying off!

I am super proud of you! Goodness knows I am still learning how to be a mom in general, let alone a good one. Your experiences have helped you learn, and reading your post, it has opened up my eyes to some of the things i am doing too ( not the junk food thing, because she is only 6 months, but the sleeping thing, yes, I…

:laugh: I like this!

Lol, well, this is going to sound really dumb, so please don't laugh too hard. I thought I would be Susie Homemaker and sew some Christmas stockings for Christmas. I was on our living room floor sewing away, when the phone rang, so I got up to answer it, leaving the needle sticking out of the carpet (dumb I know). I came…

Girl, i know what you are going through. Two Decembers ago, I had to get a sewing needle removed from behind my patella in my knee (don't ask). I was out for a good month and a half, and had to go to physical therapy. It really depressed me, because I wanted so hard to do the things I was doing before. I just started doing…

Lol, yes it is... and that's the problem :laugh:

This happens to me too! I have heard the reason we feel so hungry during TOM, is due to our metabolisms increasing during this time. (ie; the extra calories burned). It is very hard for me to stay on track when aunt flow comes roaring it's ugly head, but I just have to keep telling myself to eat healthy. Yes I agree on…

I had PRK done last April, and my vision was really blurry for about a week after surgery, I thought my vision was permanently blurry, and I freaked out. Then after about a month, my vision became very good. I think you will heal nicely, give it another week or two and check in with us to see how things are going. Good…

I thought the same thing!:laugh: BUT on that note, I wish I were in Iowa, it is great to have a group of people in your area with the same goal as you to keep you motivated.

I have tears in my eyes, seriously. That poem really hit home for me, thank you for sharing!

That's awesome! Congrats on the 5 lbs, I am a true believer in the power of a clean healthy diet, and your proof!!!

Thanks for all the advise everyone!
