ok - i did not have twins....but had 5 kids in 10 years so i totally understand what you're talking about! i have abs underneath the flab but can't get rid of it. figured surgery was the only option -- i joined your thread to see if someone knows otherwise!!!

SW: 170.00 CW: 167.0 GW-for the month: 162.00 Weigh Ins: 8/1- 170.0 8/8- 167.0 8/15 8/22 8/29 The last weigh in day is my BIRTHDAY - gift to myself!!!!! I'm going for more than 5 pounds since this is my first month - figured I'd lose more because just started. Total weight loss for month

me too!! the trainer at the gym has me use a stability ball and the cable machine instead. i sit on the ball, hold the handle in front of me, have the machine at 80 pounds and i pull down/bend so that basically i'm doing a sit up from a sitting position by pulling the weight down rather than my body weight up. I do full…

I posted this same question early this week - here's the general answer from everyone: Eat your given calories for the day (mine is 1200) and if you are hungry then eat the exercise calories (mine are 500-600/day). I usually end up eating half of the exercise calories later in the day as my last snack. The original calorie…

YOU CONVINCED ME TO NOT GO --- MFP MEMBER ARE ROCK STARS!!!!

totally messed up how i wanted to reply but "icequeen" whose name i totally forgot how to spell - THANK YOU! i liked your reply because you honored that i was excited to be chosen but explained the errors .... i'm obviously not sold --- has been a week and i've not filled out the paperwork. think i got caught up in the…

ok haters - not saying i'm in love w/ the man...but the experience might be kinda neat. :wink:

i could copy and paste your status as mine -- killing it at the gym, eating under given calories, sleeping, drinking water..... so yesterday i decided to do couch to 5k --- day one was easy because i'm a gym rat but not a runner so figured i'd follow the program and not burn out. hoping that a new exercise will help and…

you may need to adjust what/how much you are eating to better reflect your new weight (way to go !!!!) ... i too am at a plateau but going on 6 months!!!!! i basically was eating too little and exercising too much -- mfp has been helping me keep better track so that i can balance myself back again!! did you adjust your…

first -- bon jovi when i was in high school last - big time rush .... taking my own kids!

so all this food talk made me hungry - went for pb on fresh italian bread - got me some protein and carbs .... maybe eating them at night will help since the hypoglycemia can't kick in when i'm sleeping!! thanks all! u rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree w/ everyone else - and you should get an award for Best Post Of The Night!!!!! Hope the bum is better quick!!! :blushing:

@ momma - i sooooo would do that if i had them.... or wine ~ think i'd get 1/2 the bottle!!!

i forgot --- probably had 10+ cups today !!

well - as far as tiny meals .... the 1 1/2 cups of stuffed pepper soup felt like I ate 4 cups! no way i could add anything else. in fact, i waited an extra 45 minutes to go to gym because i was stuffed myself! :) what i'm doing now as far as food and exercise i've always done - and, obviously, something is not clicking. i…

damn that bomb sounds REALLY good!!!! never considered that i was in starvation mode - gonna add in nuts, avacado, oils tomorrow and see how that goes. i'm usually just not hungry - or, with 5 kids, too busy to realize i forgot to eat something!

don't do 2 in a row often - i have exercise induced asthma - so sometimes takes the first 30 minutes just to get breathing under control! :) so - as long as i'm eating the given calories for the day - plus a bit more on days that i heavy exercise then i should be ok? it literally has been about a year of me building up my…

Think I have my profile open if you wanna go see what I've done - 100% honest posting so tell me if you see errors!

Me: 1 Lns: 0 I'm on a winning streak!!!!!!! I tend to eat at night after the kids (all 5 of them) go to sleep and I finally get a moment of down time!

i soooooo want to be a runner - they always look so healthy! however, i'm in pretty good shape - take double spin classes, zumba, cardiosculpt - but am overweight. i always feel like i can't breathe when i run ~ probably totally mental ~ anyone else have that happen??? i need to kick it up a notch cause i have not lost…

I'm at 67 protein but today I lifted and did elliptical -- and most days I take a spin class - so it's pretty high. I could live on protein and never eat carbs due to hypoglycemia/dizziness from sugars. Just wanted confirmation that for the most part I should focus on the calories.

Thanks Spartan! Appreciate the help all!!! Off to the kitchen! WooHoo!!

so i should eat to :use up: my calorie and not "worry" if i'm over on protein? so something like a banana w/ pb would be good?

Hey!! You're post caught my attention because if I ate that I would be STARVING in an hour!! For me - I would take that down to 1 serving of waffle or bowl of cereal and add in protein - eggs, cheese, sausage and some fruit. I eat waffle sandwiches w/ pb and banana on them. I am hypoglycemic and that causes me to plow…
