I would adore to move from the US to the UK, however my husband has no desire to leave the states. So going to bump this out of pure jealousy that I will probably never get to call myself an expat.

Just wanted to throw out that this thread made me feel better, and I read it at just the right time. I've been stuck on the last 10lbs for about 6mo now, losing .2 or .5 every other week or so. I thought I was just flubbing up, but I can see now it is going to come off, but slower. Great thread, thanks guys!

How much Cayenne are you putting in your water and how terrible does it taste?

Last night was -22 before windchill, -40's with the wind chill here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

I'm 5' even and trying to lose my last 10-15 :) Add me!

I've already been counting for almost a year and a half, I guess its become more of a habit for me. When I did stop counting, and I only did for about a month, I gained a pound or two, but then when I watched what I ate for a few days I went back down. I think its more about changing habits, thoughts about food, and just…

Thanks for the youtube suggestion guys - it'll keep it interesting. Kinda like workout roulette!!

Sorry, this sounds like an eating disorder.. Please stop this diet for your own health, and loved ones. :(

I don't count housework unless its vacuming (because my vacume is heavy and I move all my furniture to vacume) or scrubbing my toilet/bath tub because I have to scrub so hard (My husband is a mechanic) Otherwise I don't count sweeping, mopping, doing dishes, etc. etc. I don't even like to count when I go shopping, so I…

Thank you for posting. I'm 2 years post partum with my daughter and I still a little baby pooch left, and you've given me hope that I can get that to go away - because yours is melting away!!! My daughter was born March of 2012, I always love seeing other 2012 babies. :)

We watch very little Netflix and a few movies every now and then. We mostly keep it because my daughter enjoys the occasional cartoon. Mostly I use it to work out (DVDs) If you want to use that space for something else, you could always put the TV somewhere else. Theres no rule that it has to be in the living room! :)

Thank you all very much, I've gotten some great ideas and cannot WAIT to try some. (Ironically after posting this a co-worker brought in her version of 'candy' acorn squash which was to DIE for.)

Any, but preferable to those common in the winter.

Oh the adding of brats is a wonderful idea. My husband would love that!

I didn't have a whole lot to lose anymore, but one of the first places I lost was my little 'apron' and the fat under my C-section. Now its just a stubborn spare tire. Its just fat. The more you lose the better you will feel about it.

Obviously a little more meat, but in leu of that eggs, cheese, yogert or a protien powder :)

Those aren't stretch marks. Their badges of awesomeness. Wear those bad boys with pride!

I've done this several times over the last year. Useually my husband makes me feel a lot better by just saying how hard he sees me working. etc. etc.

I have honestly found that if I start craving something sugary, or salty, that simply going and getting my mind and hands busy on something else truly, honestly helps. :)

God I wish I could like this. Too many Dr. in America rely on TSH alone..

To the people telling her that BC doesn't make you gain/stay stagnant - every body is different and reacts differently to different hormones and drugs. So buzz off. I have no issues losing weight on my previous birth control, but due to complications with my c-section I had to change. Three months ago. I haven't lost 1 lb…

In all seriousness, I learned to cook. I used to be a pop it out of the freezer and into the oven gal, but now I make a ton of 20-30 minute skillet meals, stir fries, etc. Also, I've found if I stay on the out skirts of the grocery store, I find better foods. Most of the processed stuff they keep in the middle. I still eat…

The only comment I gotta make, that I'm guilty of too, donuts. I see three days that you ate donuts, and one day you ate TWO! I love my donuts, All day, every day, but girl. If your only eating 1200 calories, you gotta lay off the donuts. Make your meals at home, try eating a little cleaner (and I'm not a clean eating…

Awe, bless her heart.

Mine was right after labor/emergency C-section. They wheeled us back into my room and asked if I'd like anything to drink. After two days of labor, I wanted apple juice. They told me to take it slow, then handed me a half gallon cup of apple juice. I drank it down pretty quickly, and ... it came back up. I looked my family…

Time managment, being poor, easly bored, and not sure what to do at a Gym. I have a 1 yr old I'm not comfortable leaving in day cares for gyms, so I wait till she goes for a nap, or bed, and work out then. I don't have the money for a gym membership, but I can afford $10 here or there for different DVDs to keep it…

I really really hope so!

Oh this made me tear up. You are amazing and your daughter is so lucky to have you. Great work!

I'm pretty boring - bud light or strawberry daiquiri (I prefer virgin, or half as much alc. as normal.) <3

I took Celexa from at 14-24. 10 years of my life. If I ran out of my pills, after one day I would have terrible withdraw symptoms. I later found out I was mus-diagnosed as well, and ended up having to take a low dosage of it through my entire pregnancy because otherwise my body was going to go into hard core withdraw., and…
