Thank you everyone for the advice and support. I knew I needed to come back here for a reason :) And thanks for the reminder to go in and adjust my settings ... I had forgotten to do that, now that I'm trying to get back to this. Back when I was doing great, I was trying to eat between 1400-1500 a day, and it was working…

This is a great idea! I'm going to cheat a little with my commitment today, as it's something that I have an appointment set up for, so I hope it counts :) I won a free personal training session at my gym (30 minutes), so I'm going there tonight.

Thank you for the quick responses. It's nice to see that some people have gone through the same thing. I just opened up my diary (sorry, I think that it was already open). I haven't logged in a while though, because my eating has just been terrible. I told myself that today I am going to log, no matter how horrible it is.

Sounds tasty

I don't eat before I work out in the morning on the weekdays (I have a hard enough time waking up early enough at 5:15 to get to the gym, I'm not going to wake up an hour earlier just to try to eat something). However, on the weekends if I make it out to the gym, it's not until a little later, and I usually like to have a…

Great job! I'm the same way when it comes to sharing how awesome myfitnesspal is. I find myself telling everybody about it!

With kids it is very tough to find time to exercise if you don't have the help. I've had to rearrange my schedule to get myself out of bed at 5:20 in the morning, just so I can get a workout in before my husband leaves for work for the day. On the days that I don't make it out of bed in time, I try to throw in some random…

I like mine with some peanut butter ... a friend of mine mixes peanut butter and greek yogurt together to make it easier for her daughter to dip in.

Cashew Pineapple Chicken Boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut up into chunks) about 50 Cashews (semi crushed, best if some pieces aren't turned into a fine powder) 1 can pineapple tidbits (save 1/4 cup of the juice) Sugar Snap Peas Brown Rice Olive Oil Sautee Chicken chunks in olive oil. About halfway through cooking,…

That's such an awesome picture!!! I'm scared to even think about ever running in any type of Marathon, but hearing your story (and the other stories that follow) really almost convince to get myself going so that one day I can be running in one with my daughter (she just turned 3 yesterday).

Thank you for posting this. I've been curious to try tofu as well, but I don't really know how to do it. Any help? Thanks!!

I was on seasonique (well, started off as seasonale) for almost 7 years (obviously take some time off for my two pregnancies). I, too, was put on it because I had EXTREMELY painful periods, like, blacking out at school from the pain, painful. I loved it while I was on it, it made my periods super light and only 3 days long…

Haha! Run in place for 5 minutes and then you can have the whole glass :) It'll get easier. I've been on it for 10 days, and have really loved it so far.

Ahh - somebody else who can relate to the close age difference :) And GREAT job on your weight loss!!

I'm not a new mom, but I'm new to MFP and a mom - does that count? :) I have two kids - my little girl will be 3 on Thursday, and my littly boy is 16 months. I, too, have a wedding coming up this summer (at the end of June) and while I know I won't be reaching my goal weight by then, I'd at least like to be on way towards…

I'm a Michigander here, as well! I've lived suburbs of Detroit my whole life - Westland, Wixom, and now Commerce. Winters are tough for exercise - although this past one, we actually were able to get out for walks during those "warm" spells!

Me too! I had one nearly 3 years ago (she'll actually be 3 on Thursday!!) and my second one was almost 17 months ago. Just started on this weight loss journey, so lots of friends/support from other momma's in the same sitatuion would be great!!

This is delicious. We've always made this with tomatoes mixed in, too. So refreshing!

I'm guessing you mean 2011? My c-section was in Jan of 2011 (it was my second one). Since being cleared to.exercise, I haven't experienced any type of pain there during working out. There will be the very occasional pull/pinch at a random time, but that actually hasn't happened for a while. Maybe you should talk to your…

Hi moms! I don't have "many", but I am a mother of two - my little girl will be 3 next week (2 birthday parties, so cake and cupcakes here I come!), and my little boy is 16 months! Feel free to add me, please. I'd love to get connected and get/give support to some other momma's out there :) Laura

Michigan here.

That was my goal before our Disney trip in May! I wanted to be able to enjoy looking at our pics from the trip :) good luck! And have tons of fun on your vacation!!! We can't wait to go back!
