Allright fellow sardine-lovers!!!! Yes fresh sardines are awesome!!! I agree that they don't seem stinky to me but ask around and you'll see that most people think they stink (my husband included - I just put the container in a zip lock when I'm done and BOOM, no stink :-))

I am also Italian (first generation) and a vegetarian. I am married to an anglo though so I changed the way I cooked pretty quickly to adapt to his tastes too. He does NOT cook. We eat pasta once a week. I don't eat it. My kids and husband do. It's veeeery hard for me to resist, especially if it's pesto, but if I must…

Congratulations! Well done. I've been doing low carb for about a month now and it's working wonderfully well for me. Down 10 lbs + (I don't have a lot to lose but was stuck on a huge plateau) and I feel GREAT! I used to be one of those non-believers, thinking this was all hype and a fad, but like you, I started to read and…

Well done! Everyone has their own way and one person's method is not necessarily what works for another person. Congratulations! I think you look amazing but more importantly, you look like you are HAPPY (and healthy I hope)! Well done. for what it's worth, IMO, avoiding major surgery is always a plus!!!

I love this! My AHA moment was at an amusement park so I can relate....I was 6 months post baby no. 2 (second C section) and I could not fit in the ride with my first kid. It was so depressing. So I get it. Congrats and job well done!!!

Bump! I have about 10 more lbs to go to goal and when I get there I'll be posting tummy pics. It's not totally flat but it's definitely getting there!!!
-
I like them both and think you should bring both. But I have to say, congrats and I think you look GREAT in your two piece! Well done!!!!!

I'm Italian (first generation) and also a vegetarian. I've always eaten my own food (still do as a married woman with two children who are meat eaters). My dad never really got it (always offered me fried veal - hello?) so I just ignored it and did my own thing. If you don't have the will power to eat a little, don't eat…

I can't wait to post on here. I have two kids, both C-sections and FINALLY my tummy is going down. Give me a few weeks and I'll post my before and afters too!

Mine is going down. Slowly but it's going down. Pants used to give me that muffin-top and I'd have the dreaded pooch. But it's much better. For me the key has been low carb. Lower than I've ever done. It's actually really working for me - not hungry, eating healthy and everything seems to be deflating. I have total faith…

5' 7" here. Current weight is 173 lbs. Started on here probably 10 lbs ago and have lost 20 lbs over the last 2 years (very slooowly). Highest weight EVER was pregnant with baby no. 2 at 254 lbs. Lowest weight was 135 lbs on wedding day (7 years ago). Goal weight is 150-155 lbs. I feel pretty good right now, everything…

I second (third, fourth, fifth etc.) the WATER comments. If i don't drink enough, I get headaches. Also, and I know this isn't for everyone, skip breakfast. I don't like breafast, never have - I'm not hungry in the morning and I don't want to force myself to eat just because I'm supposed to. Ever since I've followed my own…
-
THIS!!!!! Learn that it's ok to throw out the leftovers of your kids food if it's not what fits in your overall goal. One of the hardest things for me to learn.

Bump for later
-
I don't. I know most people say it's important to eat breakfast but I just don't. I never was a breakfast person. I am not hungry. I haev a coffee (black) and some water and I'm good until I have a yogurt or so mid-day. It took me a while to realize that it's just not my thing --- I used to force myself to eat something…

Great tips! Also now I'm totally hungry for some breakfast :laugh:

I haven't been in exactly the same position as you but I thought I'd share my story and maybe you can take something from it. I was trying to lose weight after my first baby was born (I had just reached pre-preggo weigth actually) when by surprise I got pregnant with my second (my first was 12 months old at the time). I…

I work full time as a professional and have two kids. Whenever I feel totally overwhelmed in terms of my body/health, I work on my diet first. Exercise comes later. That is the one thing I can control even when I'm totally busy. So take it one step at a time and start by making good food choices. As for exercise, I work…

I see excellent progress! And for 2 Cs with 2 big babies, I think you look amazing. I've also had 2 Cs with big babies and I need some inspiration to get back in there and you've given it to me! I want to work as hard as you are see the same improvement! You are going to look smashing in a bikini. Great work!!!

Quite funny!

Yes though the correct term is lacto-ovo vegetarian :-)
-
There are different kinds of vegetarians. I am lacto-ovo, meaning I eat animal products, but not meat. So yes, I eat eggs and cheese etc. I just don't eat meat. And I do eat fish. Pescatarian is not a real term but I like it. Lacto-ovo is the proper term. Also there are lots of reasons one is a vegetarian. I personally…

Eggs, tuna, fish, sardines, quinoa, peas, beans, lentils. Been a vegetarian (eat fish though) for 20 years.

You look amazing. Well done!!!

I'm 5' 7" and I currently weigh 172 lbs. My highest weight was 260-ish lbs (preggo w/ large-ish baby no. 2). I have lost 23 lbs in the last two years since starting my current job (slow but certainly steady). My goal is 150-155. I was 135 lbs when I walked down the isle 7 years ago and was too thin then. I think 150-155 is…

You look great! I have a very similar tummy. Thanks for posting.
