I can relate but different circumstances....once a single mom of three who went to the gym three days a week or more, worked full time...then came the live if my life, became a stay at home mom and got lazy...until recently!!! Good luck to you!

I also indulge at this time...I did today in fact!!! I was craving ice cream... So as I put my kids ice cream in their bowl I had 1 spoonful...I craved chips, so I had a few and told my kids to eat the rest!!! I think it's okay in moderation and as long as you get your calories and other things you need, you'll be…

Thanks for correcting me in a nice way, I've seen some people on this website as others who are not so... And now that I read your comment, I see that you were right :)

Holy cow Bobby... I was gonna say something else but not sure it was appropriate!!! I don't feel so bad... I don't think I could eat all that!!! I should be asking how your day was??? Tomorrow will be better!!! I like these days, they make me work a little harder. If anyone wants to add me, please do...this site is my…

It could also mean that your muscles and increased....muscle weighs more than fat and it could be that you didn't weigh yourself the same as last time...just because you didn't lose any weight doesn't mean you haven't changed your body in some way...I haven't lost much weight but I feel sooooo much better than before, my…

I have also heard that peppermint helps with nausea...I give my kids peppermint tea when their tummy is upset...seems to help them...good luck....

Hi, I think that the best thing to do is use this website everyday, make it a habit to say good morning, to say goodnight and be consistent.... Request sent...welcome back!!!

Hi, you can snack too....I eat usually sliced apples and 2 tbsp of peanut butter...or banana and peanut butter... I like the options of the apples because the fiber helps me feel full.... But I snack late at night...just have to be choosy... Good luck!!

I love this site just for that reason... Welcome or Welcome back!!! Feel free to add me if you like!!!

My opinion would be that just workout 20 min a day...it can be anything anytime anywhere...and about diet, choose one thing to delete from your diet and stick with it...mine was coffee...I could drink it all day everyday, now it's one cup only... Good luck!!!

Hi, I think once you get into the habit of plugging everything in, you wont be able to get rid of us...I love this site and just for the motivation that you will recieve from people will be amazing... cograts on the mommy time...thats the stage i am in too...its about damn time :)

I have been told that your weight time .37 so for me....140 times .37 equals 51.8 grams daily I do get more than that because I drink a protein shake after I work out... I have read that extra protein may help with osteoporosis and obesity...

Im 5 feet and my goal is 115...that is my goal because two years ago that is what i weighed and I was in a size 3-5...I am currently going for small goals....so 10 pounds at a time...so my short term goal is 130... since after having babies, I dont think i could get down to my weight before kids which is 105 and I think I…

The only carbs I intentionally stay away from is past and bread...I do eat tortillias though...and lots of veggies...so i cant really help you there but protein is in tuna,egg whites (liquids are awesome) cheese if you can handle dairy, nuts, beans, chicken... hope this helps a little

I hate breakfast...so I usually have a protein shake and a small piece of fruit and then for lunch its usually egg whites, half a link of polish sausage, spinach, peppers, onion, mushrooms...any vegetable that i can throw into a quick omelet... usually lunch is my largest meal!!!

Just completed!!!! that was a little harder than i thought it would be....but i did it!!!!

Hi, My name is Melinda and I am sort of new...This is a great site...I guess the point when I needed to seriously look in the mirror is when my significant other kinda lost interest in me...he still loves me, but when I dont feel good about myself how can i expect him to feel good about me...its a vicious circle...so time…

Im in!!! WhooHoo!!!

could do a protein shake and a piece of fruit...Ive packed breakfast burritos before and I use egg whites and spinach...tortillias are actually not too bad for you...add some sausage to it and make enough for a few days...

I will sometimes have a bowl of frosted shredded wheat around 7ish...this helps me when I have my craveings...

I usually need a midnight snack...and I will usually have frosted shredded wheat...its sweet and it has lots of fiber....Its alright to snack i think as long as it isnt something that is horrible for you...

Im in!!!!! This shall keep me motivated!!! My weight as of yesterday is 139!!! 10 weerks to lose 15 pounds, that would be half of my goal!!!! Lets do it!!! PLEASE ADD!!! WILL NEED MOTIVATION!

Im in the same boat...town of 600 people, town is 25 miles away and no gym. I am lucky because i do own equipment, but what I do find helpful is walking, running, cleaning house (can burn 250/calories/hr), stairs...and I get some of my workouts online, amazon prime...get an excercise ball...those are inexpensive...Good…

I told my fiance that I will continue to cook for him, but I WILL cook for myself as well...I have a great better half, he even made my basement into a workout room with an eliptical and treadmill and a few other things. But he has to eat certain things because Crohns Disease runs in his family and his tummy is very…

Mine would be pasta, anything pasta....that is my one and only weakness...

Ya know, I get all of my stuff at the second hand store....I figure I could use the extra money on food...

Hi, I'm Melinda. I'm just starting to get a handle on my weight...I have lost 1 pound so far with 19 more to go!!! I think it's important to realize our bad habits as well...I gave up pasta and bread for dinner for veggie stir fry, lol I find this site to be very motivational..I like the fact that this site relies on diet…
