Wow, you guys thank you for all the great support. And yes I am so much happier now that my reflection no longer causes me to cringe. Being able to smile when a camera is out instead of running to hide makes my family happy too. I really wish you all the best on your way to a happier and healthier you!

Well thank you so much!

I lost about 30 lbs.

Thank you all for the kind words. It helps with motivation to drop a few more before my cruise coming up. When you know your going to be in bikini all week you want to shed a few more vanity pounds to make up for the ones you know you will probably pack on lol.

Thank you! My husband works out of town for long periods so it was a wonderful treat to see the surprise in his eyes when he got home. And this man has always told me how beautiful I am. But yes that was my biggest reward too, lol. Like newlyweds all over again. And you’re on your way, keep up the good work!

Thank you!

You can do it! I had to restart so many times before i got it to stick. I would do great for a month or two and then hit a plateau and give up. Or have that weekend binge and not log because of the guilt. The honesty with myself with logging and saying yep that was a bad day and moving on saved me from myself. So if i…

Thank you for the kind words. And Thank you my fitness pal

Thank you

Well here you go. I am turning 44, 5’4” and about 150lbs. I was always the skinny kid. I gained a bit of weight after my first child (20lbs and thought I was fat, lol). Well needless to say I weigh more now than I did when I thought I was fat and I feel pretty damn great! I am sure at one point I weighed more than 180 but…

I had the same trouble not being able to find photos of myself at my starting point. My husband was right I should have taken them anyway. But you look great and congratulations!!!!!!

Just don't make your deficit to large. I don't know how much you have to loose, but I would aim for 1/2 to 1 lb at most. And try to make your choices healthy to fuel you and the baby. I breast fed all three of my children for at least a year, so I understand that you want to insure the baby is getting enough nutrition.…

Do you track your steps with an activity tracker?

It's because you're still at a calorie deficit. It may be a smaller deficit than what you had as your goal, but you'll still lose weight.

You can ask the to add no extra oil or butter?

Thanks for the replies. Some how it straightened itself out, because today it said 86. Don't know what happened just glad it fixed itself.

I have had mine for a month. Love it. I have had a body media fit and an amiigo and now the charge hr. It's my favorite by far.

My Bp med is lisinopril, so no diuretic. And I have been drinking lots of water 6-8 water bottles a day. And my dr office will just tell me to come in if I want advice. If it gets worse I obviously will go in sooner but I think I can wait till my insurance kicks in. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Thank you all for the replies. My insurance will kick in next month. I think a visit with the doc will be in order. I don't like the dizzy feeling I get almost every time I stand up. I still have a ways to go before I'm where I want to be (25-35 lbs) but I am excited to finally get there.

Thanks for the replies. And good luck at your next appointment.

Welcome!

I geuss I should have been clearer. I know that Fitbit Charge Hr says it's only water resistant. But when doing my research I came across people who claim to swim with. And that is why I said I wouldn't take the chance. I haven't had to use their customer service yet, but am very glad to hear it is great. Because after…

I have both. I got the Amiigo first. It took a year to get. Customer service is non existent. The shoe pod fell off some where on my vacation (will be $50 to replace, so I've heard. Can't get reply from company on wait time to replace). It takes FOREVER to sync to the app (we are talking hours sometimes). But I'm gonna…

Still not working here either. Hoping they are reading this and working on solution.

Congratulations!

Mine have simple faded with time. Although I never had a ton. I got a small patch (about size of my fist) on my right side of my stomach with my last child. I wear it like a badge of honor (took three kids to put it there, lol) Others than time or surgery, I don't think much can be done.

Glad I could help. I agree BM food log is horrible. I hope they get This figured out soon.
