I think I was about 10 - 15 lbs down before my family started noticing.

I love beachbody and their products, mainly P90 but I think a big problem they have is that (if i'm not mistaken) they allow just anyone to be a beachbody coach. No offense but if I want a coach I would like someone who knows about the product, has had great results, etc. Alot of ppl be a coach because they get the…

I'm 5'3 and my hips are 43 1/2 but I still have 22 lbs before goal and maybe another 15ish after that.

LOVE the beachbody dvds, I do power 90. the 30 day shred is pretty good too.

Glad to see your taking good care of your health even in pregnancy. Too many women see it as a way to just eat whatever and then wonder why they gained 70 lbs. I lost in the beginning of my pregnancy and only gained a total of 15 which was all baby because I lost it all within the first couple of days after birth. What…

I count it as a success. It's ok to eat chocolate if you can do it in moderation and the fact that you stayed within your calorie goal means you can do it in moderation. I managed to stay in my goal as well but ate crappy. I count it as successful but still feel like crap about it mainly just because those foods make me…

How about trying to weigh in only once a week. You get a more accurate measurement of your weight that way anyways.

For instance your goal is 1600 and then burn 1000, you have technically only ate 600 calories that day. MFP's tracker lets you know that you need to eat back those 1000 calories you burned to get to your 1600 goal. You should never eat less than 1200 so you don't have to eat them all back but you would need to eat back at…

Getting a small plate is a good tip. When you have a large plate you feel the need to fill it up so getting a small plate plays that trick on you when it's full that you haven't deprived yourself of anything. It also allows you to get the correct size portions instead of way too much.

Just allow yourself to eat your faves just do it in moderation. Unless you plan on skipping these holidays for the rest of your life you have to learn at some point how to control your urges to gobble it all down. I know it's hard, this is my fave time of year for food. haha! You just have to do it in moderation and maybe…

So everyone else has already said this but in the morning, after you do your business (lol) but before you eat, and preferably in the buff. Also for the most accurate results just weigh yourself once a week the same day/time weekly.

Moving to the big girl bed... fun times!! It took us awhile to get our daughter to sleep in her big girl bed. It was definitely a patience tester. Eventually a nightlight, light music, and a few books read every night did the trick. She still occasionally comes to our room if she feels bad or gets scared but other than…

Day 9 here.... feeling great... Keep pushing play!!!

Woohoo! Keep pushing!

This is definitely the right site to keep you on track eating healthy. MFP makes it so simple to log your food and to know if you got your calorie count in for the day and your water as well. I have messed around on all kinds of weight loss forums and sites and to be completely straight forward and honest MFP is the best…

The tried and true way of losing weight will always be calories in vs calories out. Get you some good exercise in and eat healthy, Keep up with what you are eating because even the small bites count.

Welcome! I have only been a MFPer for a little over a week and love it as well. It really is helpful and has lots of ppl who are tons of support.

I friended you. I can use all the motivation and support that I can get as well.

This is not true. I lost 38 lbs on wwers and certainly didn't do it by starving.

Awesome!

I only weigh in once a week and that day is on Wednesday. I don't want to change that because it will just mess my routine up so i'm just going to start posting my prior Wednesday weighs ins for the Monday weigh in here. Last WI was at 164 ....

I think this color is a little to harsh and a little to fake looking. However, I think you would look nice with red hair. I would go with something a little more natural looking and I bet even your parents would like it.

Lisa - I live in Nashville, TN. Cori - Awesome that you are that close to onederland. :)

Thanks... I may try this method.

Found it! Anyone have any good advice on how you get all your water in daily?

CGerman - Sorry I will learn your name eventually. Is it Cori? Mine is Melissa. We did have fun at the zoo. Our zoo isn't great but not horrible. I've heard San Diego Zoo is one of the top zoos in the US so compared to it they all are probably pretty sad. haha BogMama - Lisa?? Sorry to hear about the fish. I had a fish…

Yes, she turned 3 in August. I lost all of my weight back in 08-09 and then just kind of gave out on it. I let myself go from 154 back up to 165 and said enough is enough. I'm ready to actually make it to goal this time.

When I lost all my weight before, prior to having to start again, my weight loss buddies were a huge part of me getting there. They motivated me to continue even when I wanted to just give up. I have support at home but having support from ppl who are going through the same thing is essential IMO.

Same here, looking for weight loss buddies as well. I added you.

Awesome job! Happy Birthday! Go and have fun, you deserve it.
