definitely weighing daily. I got down to 120, but last week it started to creep back up to 122 and I was very upset about it, so I started working out again and watching my calories and I am back to 120 again. So I recommend weighing daily and buying new clothes that fit your smaller size. I have bought a few small shirts…

I am so happy for you!! The past few weeks I have been consistently losing to add up to a 5lb loss. every day I got on and the scale kept going down and down and down....well I had to get on several times every time just to make sure my scale wasn't acting up. I was so happy and almost couldn't believe it was true! :) It's…

PB is actually great for the protein. As long as it's not junk food, you can eat what you like. Drink plenty of water and include some good protein after a workout.

I am the only one in my family of four that eats the way I am eating. I mean my kids have the same dairy and fruits, but they don't like veggies or salads or anything and my husband is still eating junk food all the time. So what I do is buy what I need for a couple of weeks and then buy the rest of stuff for the family. I…

I am not really exercising alot, I am doing some random videos from online. I stopped drinking soda. I also cut out red meat from my diet, potatoes, white rice, fast food, and junk food. I eat lean meats, whole grains, brown rice, dairy for protein and baked snacks. I think portion control has made a big difference for me.…

I drink water when I am thristy, I have found that if I try to force myself to drink at least 8 cups in a day, I struggle with it, By the end of the day I am forcing down the last two cups and really feeling full and like I could gag with every sip. I don't dislike water, when I am thirsty it is great! But I don't really…

I was at 1200 and plateued as well. I chose to lose 1/2lb a week and it upped me to 1330 calories. So I net at least 1300 every day, and I have lost more weight since doing more.

My thoughts exactly, I am sure your daughter has made a good friend or two at cheer or gymnastics who could carpool. I would say even if you workout for 30mins a day for at least 3 days a week, that should be good enough. It works for me, and I am not nearly as busy as you are as my kids are 4 and under.

I love this site and am addicted to it, I log my food every day. But would I pay for it? No. I would be sa if it started costing, because I would have to leave. The whole reason I tried it out was because it is free! :)

I know this isn't quite right but here: heaviest :161 at the very end of my second pregnancy. not pregnant heaviest: 148lbs Lighest: 107lbs during my first year at college(18yrs old) current weight: 123lbs Goal weight: 115lbs Height: 5'2"

send them to me! hahaha I love plain oranges... I agree with the others, oranges aren't exactly the type of fruit you can mix with other stuff.

yes, I noticed it when I tried to have a soda after a month and a half of none at all, it tasted so gross. Then, I made the kids a top ramen and there was some left over so I went to eat it, but it was soooo salty!! I was shocked that I had never noticed it before. Now I know I can't eat that anymore.

I am 5'2" but my goal weight is 115. I think 105 is kinda low... I mean all through high school I was very thin and healthy, but my lowest was 110-112. So I figure 115 is a good place to aim for. My initial goal right now is 120 and I am damn close! Once I get there, I wanna see if I can go lower to get to 115.

I commented on one of those stupid "rate the person above you" now I just roll my eyes when I see those. ugh

I tend to go over my sugar, fat, and sodium. But I eat lots of fruit and my fats are healthy fats, almonds, guacamole, lean meats, etc. My sodium is still and issue, but I am working on it and just drinking water to try to balance it out.

LOL good to know! I honestly didn't know what was strength training vs weight training, etc. There seems to be alot of different ways to work out!

what qualifies as strength training? I am about 48 days into my journey and still working on getting stronger, but as of right now I do workouts using 3lbs weights... I know that is small, but does that qualify as strength traning? like rowing movements with the weights, presses, etc.?

no, My husband always lets me know if he has plans and clears them with me to make sure we didn't have anything to do, or if I want him to stay home. If he went to the bar EVERY night, I would leave with the kids until he decides to get his act together. Luckily both of us drink only socially. It seems immature and…

If you look at my profile pics, you can see how the front of my tummy is starting to shrivel into itself as I am losing this weight. And I do have a slight overhang of skin after 2 c-sections. I am hoping I can tone it up as much as possible to show some abs underneath, but who knows. Plus since I plan on having more kids…

I didn't look at your diary, but you know you don't HAVE to go everyday.... as long as you are comfortable and not constipated, I don't see the need to go every day. I would take it as my body is using more of what I eat, meaning I am putting good things into my body. Since I started eating healthier, I go every other day…

you don't have to eat salads. I enjoy a turkey sandwich on multigrain bread with cheese, lettuce, tomato and light mayo. I used to LOVE brocooli, but eating it daily turned me off of it for a while. You can change it up if you need.

your response made me smile. :) Keep up the good work! Now you can walk, soon enough you'll be able to run!

I understand how you feel in a different way. I have lost less than 10lbs, but am nearing my goal. I feel so proud of what I have lost, I am posting pics often, and just feeling great, but then see people who have lost 30-40-50 even 100lbs!! And I think, now that's some hard work right there, my measly 8lbs is nothing…

I think that is really smart!! And I second the protein, I have more protein rich food and I feel fuller and more satisfied by the end of the day so I don't want to keep snacking after dinner.

When I first started I was always craving cookies and chocolate, so I went out and bought those 100 calorie packs of cookies, I had one almost every day, but included it into my calories. Now, I have learned to enjoy healthy foods. So my "treat" snacks are things like baked tortilla chips with 2tbsps of guacamole or creamy…

I always liked almonds iin chocolate, but I love them even more plain and raw. Also, I was always eating the sugar junky ceeals, but now I love healthy cereals with blueberries, or strawberres mixed in. :)

add me, I net around 1100-1200 after exercise. :)

I get between 1000 and 1200. I eat about 1300-1500, but net about 300- 500 less than that

yep if you like avocado that's a good fat, I don;t so i got some guacamole that is 95% avocado, the other stuff they add makes it good to me and I can eat it with some baked chips. :) yum!

you know, it's ok to eat alot, but the key is making HEALTHY choices. I am eating literally all day, it seems! But I have lost 7.6lbs now. My diary is public so you can take a look, but I eat nuts, fruits, multigrain and whole grain bread, lean meats, yogurt, cheeses, etc. I still make some bad choices, but it's about…
