squats, lunges, pushups, tricep dips.. these are all great ways to tone just using your body weight as resistance.

I have the fitbit flex and love it!!!! the best part is, it is waterproof, so I literally NEVER take it off exept when it needs to charge (which is about every 5 days). I have it set to sync with MFP so I find it very motiviating! Plus you can sync it to Steps with Walgreens and get reward points.

Write it is as if it were a food, it will give you the extra 300 calories

Ha, I am in the same boat! I gained about 60 with my first kid and carried the extra weight around for over a year. I have finally got down to my ideal weight and an healthy BMI. I am pregnant again and hope that with this site I will gain the 20-30lbs and not the 60 like I did before!

Thanks everyone, I am going to have to check this out!

I eat sweets everyday. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth. I have lost 34 lbs, I only look at my calorie intake and I don't pay attention to my sugar, carbs, or fat info. I can say that for myself, I would never stick to any sort of weight loss plan if I didn't allow myself a twix mini during the day.

Just give it time and stick with it. I have been doing great with my calories, working out 4-5 times a week and my scale has not budged in 4 weeks. I had this happen to me a few months ago and then after a month of not dropping any weight, the scale started to move again. I might not have lost any weight during that time…

Best of luck to you, I would defintly try loosing the weight with diet and exercise first. I think the lap band is a wonderful option for some people, however it is surgery and there are complications associated with it. Being a nurse in General Surgery, I have seen the complicatins first hand. Good luck to you on your…

I didn't like them, I had bought one pair and in a few months the "bubble" popped in the heels so I had to throw them away. Then I tried them again and the same thing happened. I might just be that I walk funny and drag my heels too much but, I haven't bought them since.

I tend to do a lot of workout videos after my son goes to sleep, around 7:30. The best part is you can usually rent them from the library so you don't have to go out and buy them.

Coffee, Sunshine, Fresh air, my son and a good book! AMEN!

I did it for my wedding 5 years ago and it worked really well. It lasted about 5-7 days, no orange color, streaks or anything like that.

I love turbo fire! I don't follow the program they provide because I mix it in with my other workouts but it is definitly high pace and a lot of fun. Good luck with your weight loss!

You may also want to go to the Dr. and get your thyroid checked. If you suffer from hypothyroidism that could make you tired.

I think I might have to join you. I love chocolate and usually eat some form of it everyday (a hershey's kiss or a mini peanut butter cup...). Good luck to you and giving up your sweets.

I am totally rocking the hobo look. 1. I don't have time to go shopping 2. I actually do not enjoy shopping for clothes (This is a true statement) 3. I would rather spend my $$$ on other things like vacations and 4. Planning on working on kid #2 soon, so I hate the thought of getting new clothes that I won't be able to…

I have days like this, I simply go to the gym and get ready for a new day. It happens, one day is not going to hurt you, just get yourself pumped to take on the next day!

I have been suffering from that for 3 years now, due to rugby. I have lost 25 lbs and haven't had any relief yet :-( They told me to try to do quad strengthening to help hold the knee cap in proper place. Otherwise, Tylenol and Ibuprofen are my best friend. I was also told not to run but to do non-impact exercises.

I listen to Dynamite radio on Pandora. Nothing like good booty shaking music to really get you motivated!

I usually don't count my calories on the weekend. I still try to eat smart and really think about my portion size, but I do allow myself more flexability those days and then hit it hard again during the week. I need to have those "off days", otherwise I would go crazy. I have managed to loose 25lbs doing it this way. But…

Pizza, it is really hard stopping at one piece. I swear before I started this I could easily polish off half a pizza on my own.

I am a mom of one and I am able to work out 4-5 times a week, however I have to do it later at night once my son goes to sleep. Instead of watching tv at night I workoiut at home or at the gym. I usually can't even do this until around 8 or 8:30 at night

Are you trying to loose 2lbs a week, maybe you should change to the 1 lb per week. You want to make sure that this is a journey that you are going to be able to keep on. Perhaps the 1200 a day is just too few calories and you need to up it to 1500. Good luck to you.

My Knees :-( I swear for being 28, I have the knees of a 90y.o.

HAHA I Love it!

Chocolate!!! I keep Hershey's Kisses on hand so that I only eat 1-2 (26 cal each), instead of hitting up a vending machine and getting something worse!

Thanks for the NETFLIX suggestion! I will have to check that out!

Hip Hop Abs is a standing ab routine and cardio. However, I did ab workouts throughout my pregnancy. Once I got to bigger (around 5 months) I stopped doing them on the floor and I used one of those big workout balls. It is beneficial to do abs when pregnant. It will help keep the rectus abdominis muscles strong and keep…
