Thanks I didn't know that about the days done on each level. You guys are so great.

what's an HRM? Hate to seem ignorant about these things but I have been so focused on my kids for the past 6 years that I'm outta of the realm of all the new exercise lingo..

Oh thank you so much! I wouldn't have thought of that one for awhile. I think I am going to give it a shot and hope I don't hurt myself :laugh:

Glad to hear I'm not alone in this situation. More ideas from long timers here that have been proven to work would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, Congrats! I'm trying to get to where you are too...after 5 kids a body is mighty damaged, esp. when you just eat and go and never stop to think twice about whats going in. Thanks for the post and update..its always encouraging to see others having this much success.

WOWEEEE..YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!! Yeah baby...that's where I wanna be next year this time. I'm on my way! And I think I'm gonna check out that primal/paleo diet you are talking about...thanks for the post and great news :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP. Yes many who find us soon realize how easy it is to get in shape and track what they do eat. Don't think DIET, but rather believe in the new life and permanent lifestyle change for the better that you will gain from being committed to tracking your daily intake. I haven't been here long but I am very…

Wow is all I can say. You look GREAT...Keep it up. I can't wait to see future updates.

Awesome Job! You look fabulous!

Well Done! Now I know I can stick to doing this for a long period of time and still have success. I was worried about MFP working well for a few months and then just stopping in its tracks but with all the long term success stories I have read here, I don't think I will have that problem. Thanks so much for posting this. I…

1ST of all, I'd like to say I've been where you are...many, many times. My last 3 children were back to back with only 13 months in between each. I had c-sections with every one of them, which only makes it harder to tone the abdomen up again...BUT it can be done! I did it once since all the babies but began working in an…

They are low in calories but the other "nutrition" is bad. The carbs and sodium in any of them are horribly outrageous, which all turn to sugar and cause water retention, respectively. Not to mention they are all highly processed and full of preservatives which are bad for you. I would steer clear of eating too many…

Walking is the one way I know for sure I can begin to exercise again. After so many years of no exercise, its hard to get that beginning motivation but once you get started, it's all good. I am heading to the walking park now with the kids. Win/Win situation, they play and I exercise.

Attitudes are contagious...Is your's worth catching? :happy:

THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU MissTweezy :D You have given me new hope and inspiration that my hard work is going to pay off but I've only just begun and I hope for the same results by this time next year.

This is also my eating schedule. I learned this fact with Tom Venuto, a professional body builder and fitness trainer. I always have more protein in my meal for breakfast as well. It helps you stay full longer and I never get hungry. I have also stayed under my calorie limit and that helps the weight fall off. I would…
