I started all 3 of my pregnancies at 140 lbs......just being mindful of what you are eating while being pregnant helps alot :) I was at 175 when I delivered and it comes off....just takes some time! Good luck!!! I loved being pregnant :)

Well I am the odd duck here because I am FAMISHED on days I do lots of cardio, my willpower goes right out the window! But on days I lift I feel much more in control and not hungry......and I lift heavy for me :)

Im a few days late :/ My current weight is 140lbs!

I am following the Leangains 16/8 feeding window and I lift "fasted" with maybe some light cardio afterwards....keeping my heart rate on the lower fat burning side rather than doing HIIT. On the weekends I do not follow the 16/8 and that is when I will do more of the higher intensity cardio. Hope this helped :)

I tried it last week and did the 16/8 window and loved it! Had some black coffee in the morning and lots of water......as long as you keep yourself busy you should be fine :) I never had a binge moment once I was able to eat or needed to eat a bigger dinner. Starting it up for good tomorrow! I did it every other day last…

One recipe I really like is a crock pot one: 2 chicken breasts a can of pineapple soysauce or terryaki sauce. On high for about 2 hours or on low for about 4-5 hours. Cook up some uncle ben's minute brown rice. 2/3 a cup of rice, 1/2 a chicken breast and some of the pineapple (and added veggies if you want- onion, peppers)…

I have a question, all of you that are maintaining are you eating back your exercise calories or just sticking with the number range you mentioned!?! I am getting close to the maintenance zone and noticing I am already loosing my focus and drive :/

I think I can confidently say I have seen every season, maybe not even episode but I have been a fan from the beginning! Total guilty Summer pleasure of mine :) Do you think they are bringing a previous player back this year??! I have to say I dont think they are, even though I would LOVE to see Jeff back!

sounds delish! Back to the store I go :)

what about the carbs from fruits?!?! Are those ok?

Couldnt agree more!!! Definitely fridge worthy :)

Oh I am trying this!!!!! Thanks for the idea :)

I will be making spinach lasagna roll ups for dinner! One roll comes in around 300cals ( I always over estimate, its probably more like 250) YUM -O!

Totally agree!! as wonderful as an antibiotic is it can also throw our system off......personally I get very constipated on Amoxicillin and dread when my doc puts me on it! Feel better soon :)

THIS!

100 times YES!! Now the problem is I still have alllllll this junk in my house. 3 kids x 3 baskets x grandparents baskets 6 = way to much temptation ;) Wish i could just throw it all away but I would have a riot on my hands if I did that!

BUMP! I have never attempted a protein bar and now am itching to get to the store!!!!!

I love Luna PROTEIN bars, the Mint Chocolate is 14g protein and 170 calories! It works for me when I am craving something sweet! But yes agree Pure Protein has the best protein to calorie ratio

I LOVE HIIT!! I have been using this interval training method for a few weeks and have noticed inches melt off!! I finish with more energy than if I did a straight 4mile run.....highly recommend :)

:) That is AWESOME!! way to go, your daughter is very lucky to have you!

I am a SAHM to 3 kids, my boys are 6 &4yrs old and our baby girl is 18months already :( Definitely find myself snacking more mid-afternoon......handful of goldfish or a cookie sure does add up by the end of the day! LOL

This is me EXACTLY!!! How weird :P

Do you use a Windsor Pilates dvd?!?! I am now definitely intrigued to give Pilates another go around, tried it like 10yrs ago and didnt notice much!

I definitely agree that your body has picked out its "ideal" weight and sometimes its higher than what we have in mind! I know for me that if I can indulge here and there, exercise and live an over all healthy lifestyle and my weight doesnt change thats probably the weight my body is most comfortable at. When I was 125-130…

Same here!!! Looking forward to see how others are doing it............

I completely agree that the Strength Training estimate on calories burned is WAY, WAY off! I have a heart rate monitor and burned an easy 350 in 30mins of lifting but on this site it gave me 100?!?!?! I am thankful for my monitor, a good workout can get to 700 cals easily! You need to know so that way you are eating enough…

I was one of the lucky ones that lost all my baby weight while nursing and working out 6days a wk, hr long workouts including 20mins of lifting and 40mins of running. But now that I have weaned my 14month old daughter I have had 5lbs creep back on :( Now it has been a struggle to get those off and 5 more to be at my…

I think everyone is different but for me I started REALLY seeing results when I started doing 20-30mins of lifting (usually only 2 body parts a day) and then a sweat filled cardio workout for 45mins.

I am actually really relieved to see that other people have this happen to them too!!!! Whew :)
