On another note I did lose 1/2 an inch off of my waist! I hope…

I could really use some friends to help me keep at it! I'll be just as motivating :-) Add me!

I've also been back for about a week and I really need to stick with it. Looking to add friends who I can help motivate and who can help keep me motivated. This is the one part of mfp that I never really got into and I think it might help so feel free to add me!!!

I'm slowly feeling like I'm getting a grip on my food intake. Gotta stick with it now.

I'm really happy I did find it though. It will help me stay motivated!!! I can't wait to…

You all can add me! I have an 8 year old and a 10 month old. Main goal is to lose 35lbs. I am slowly getting back into running and reluctantly lifting weights. I know lifting is great for me but I get bored doing it. Edited to add: I'm 29

Hello! I'm a mom to an 8 year old and an almost 10 month old. I'm on a mission to lose 25 - 30 pounds. Finding it a lot harder this time around. I'm also still nursing which may have something to do with my struggle.

This is the beef stew... http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/14685/slow-cooker-beef-stew-i/ So good. I added a cup of frozen peas too.

I love my crock pot! I've done a whole chicken in it, a pot roast, and an amazing beef stew!

Oh man, I was gonna agree with you but you guys leave me in the dust! I work only 4 hours a day and have a three month old who always seems to be nursing! He has also been waking up every two hours during the night so when I'm not busy with him, or my 8 yo, or my husband, I'm freakin' tired!

Wow, never thought of this but it is so true. All the times I turn to food I could be turning to prayer to ease my soul. Thank you :-)

Yeah, I had to get a start on this too, I'm not very good at waiting. I started yesterday and did my 55 today. I'm excited to see the results! I'm about to print out the schedule today and just cross off the days as I go. Has anyone else been thinking about what they are going to do after the 30 days to keep/better the…

Hello. I must say that every time I share with people that I'm trying to eat healthier and workout more I tend to eat worse and workout less. When I keep it to myself I tend to stay on track a lot easier. I have no idea why but I blow that stereotype out of the water. So maybe it will be in your best interest to keep it to…

Those are my FAVORITE!!! Thanks times a million for sharing! I'm going to pick some up next time I go shopping!

I see a housewarming party in your future, you're bound to get some kick *kitten* gifts, hahaha! Great job on your weight loss and good luck to you on your new chapter of life!

We def need more super hero shows!!! Or at least more original action series. I don't get why they would just cut it, there was so much talent there.

Lol. Fear? I love 'em!

Alison, Last year (summer/fall) I would count during the week and then eat anything and everything on the weekends and it kept me at my weight of 135lbs but I couldn't go any lower. Not sure if that helps but I hope it does!

Thanks for the input guys. I love all the difference in opinion. I'm already back down to my "normal" weight (I always gain 5lbs in the winter and it tends to come off fast) But I would still like to lose 10-15lbs more. I think I am going to still clock my calories. After I ate my bagle (which I haven't had in so long) I…

Lol, nevermind, I did some more research. Thank you so much! I will def be picking this up!

Thanks so much, ladies! Do either of you know if they sell just the weight training DVDs? Or do you know what they're called so I can see if I can buy them alone on Amazon or Ebay? I love to run so I would just do that on my cardio days.

I'm in the same boat. I want to be healthy and fit for my daughter and for any future children. It's seems like there is no time for anything once you have kids, not even a shower, nevermind counting calories and getting a good workout in. But if you have the motivation, we've got your back!

Oh, I am all OVER this! Meagan 25 My weigh in is tomorrow but as of my last weigh in I was 139

I think as long as you stick to your calorie intake goals you should be fine. Adding in cardio and strength training will just give you more calories to eat during the day and it will create more muscle and muscle burns more calories at a stand still than fat does. So no, it won't hinder your weight loss but if you stick…
