Just go for the sit-ups then! have you tried a wall-push up? As women, we are not really *meant* to be able to do push-ups, so it is harder for us. Try the wall-push ups first then. If not, then just do sit-ups!

Start Weight: 189.8 Week 1: 190 Goal Weight: 160 Weekly struggle: It was my son's second birthday party last saturday and his actual birthday on Tuesday. I didn't pig out as much as I thought I would, but I still ended up eating a lot of sweets and pizza and crap. I ended up going up to 192 from it...I also wasn't working…

Well, no wonder. You are eating too low of calories. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 ^^Best thing ever. Also, this is a thread about why eating only 1200 calories won't work http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/865024-1200-and-why-it-won-t-work

Yup! I am currently doing the shred, but I'm kind of taking it easy. If I can't do it every day, I try for every other. But I am striving for 4 times a week at least. But I have to do Zumba before I do the 30DS. Otherwise, I DIE. The warm-up isn't enough for me. I just started level 2 yesterday! *edit* I have Zumba 2 for…

I am still at 189! Can't seem to budge it! But I didn't really work out much either!

After you start giving your child solids, you should add an extra 300 calories. 500 for exclusively breastfeeding, but since you are comfort nursing then I would suggest adding an extra 300 calories. Seems crazy to eat more to lose weight but your body needs it! Good luck!!!

glad to see new faces!!! I'm ecstatic for Friday!!

BUMP so you can see it again!!! :glasses:

that pizza last night. i felt like crap afterwards

BUMP

I have been having some issues losing weight after this second pregnancy. I lost 27lbs after my first, and its been 6 months after my second and I couldn't get down. I finally found a post that changed my life! I dropped 2lbs in the first week of trying it out!…

listen to your body! work out if you think you'll need the extra cals for the fun! :)

June 21st is perfect! First official day of summer. On a personal note, that is a week before my birthday and 5th anniversary! It will give me a lot of incentive to lose the weight! I want to be 100lbs lighter than I was when we got married :) (39 to go!) I'm going to start researching now so I can make this an amazing…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 This is the best thing I've read! It helps you figure out your TDEE! Now that you weigh less, and have done WONDERFULLY btw, you can refigure everything out!! good luck!!!

What I have been doing is eating the 20% under TDEE and eating back my calories after working out. Edit: I just realized that I have to eat my cals back because I am also nursing. normally, I'm not sure. But I was just relating what has been working for me.

I followed this and I was able to get off of my plateau! it is very easy!

yup just post it here! Accepting all weigh-ins until Monday at midnight! (even tuesday morning lol) I'm going to weigh in now! [Start Weight: 194] --Week 1: 194lbs -- --Week 2: 195lbs +1 --Week 3: 193lbs -2 --Week 4: 193lbs 0 --Week 5: 191lbs -2 --Week 6: 192 +1 --Week 7: 193 +1 --Week 8: 192 -1 --Week 9: 190 -2 [Goal…

bump for later! very interesting though, thank you for taking the time to write this!

its because everyone is "dieting."

love it! so true!

As my luck would have it, I started my period today. *sigh* Its like everything is against me and losing this weight! gah! I will say though, if I'm maintaining, that means I've lost some and then gained it all in water and bloating right? *crossing my fingers* So I am again, 192. That is a -1lb lost from last week but its…

Feed your body. Up your calorie intake. Instead of doing 2lbs/week, do 1lb/week (which is the recommended setting) and you'll see the weight come off. It seems completely crazy, but its true. Try it for two weeks, if it doesn't work, then change it again. Are you eating the calories that you burn after exercise? You…

Thank you for asking this question! i was wondering the same thing because with the kids, I normally survive on my coffee until later!

I love to mix almonds and cranberries in a bag and let the cranberries basically just cover the almonds in their yumminess!
