  • I usually put it up when I am working out, then it depends on what time of the day it is. If it is the end of the day, I will come home and take a shower and just cowash most days. If I work out earlier in the day, I just taken my hair down and then spritz it with a refresher spray I have made up (As I Am leave in....just…
  • I just got a moving comfort bra (fiona like mentioned above). I was skeptical when I looked at it that it could really be high impact, but it is amazing! I have a champion bra that is pretty good too but this is a league above. They aren't going anywhere and it's super comfy too. I am a 38 C, so not huge, but not small.
  • SW and HW was 241 now just a couple pounds away from one-derland! Joined this past summer and I'm gettin there!
  • I used to drink a "coffee candy bar" every morning....maybe not quite as bad cause I made my own but I just poured sugar and creamer in until it "looked right". When I went on mfp and started measuring I started to realize how much that must have been. I started off putting like3 tbsp of creamer and 2 tsp of sugar, I have…
  • Sometimes I will pick a machine at the gym because I know that certain ones make an annoying squeaking noise....so I may purposely pass up some machines that are empty to get one that doesn't squeak.
  • I nursed both my boys until they were 2.5. I plan on returning back to school to be a lactation consultant next year. I tried to do WW after I had my first and I couldn't do it. Even with the extra calories I was ravenously hungry. Plus trying to care for a colicky infant and working full time it was just too much. I did…
  • You would want to eat maintenance calories (for you) plus extra calories for your baby. I know when you are breastfeeding, WW tells you to eat 500 extra calories above the points they give you (although I didn't have much success with that because I didn't lose and was STARVING). Pregnancy is very tricky. If you have a…
  • Having a family and being very much on the go, I gotta have my pasta days cause it is so easy and fast. Plus, we had a camp out for our Cub Scout pack last month and they gave me the remainder of the giant bottle of sauce purchased from Costco....so....yeah, I got alot of pasta sauce to use up. I know, weird to have pasta…
  • Already eat the whole grain pasta, made that switch many years ago. Just seems like so much, but I guess he is right.
  • This is 8 oz of dry pasta for 4 people, so 2 oz dry for each person. When divided up after cooking, this was 5.5 oz per serving and pretty much filled an entire cereal bowl.
  • I have not had any problems.....I don't know if any weight I put on was due to the IUD as I wasn't really monitoring my weight at the time. I have not had any problems losing weight up to this point, but I am just barely past the point you speak of. Also I have had my IUD for 3.5 years so I don't get as many hormones now.…
  • I did this once before and then had babies and gained it all back. Thrift stores and clearance, and always buy things that tend to run a little on the small side so that they will last a little longer. Only buy what you absolutely have to have, every other size usually works well. Also I have had some success on…
  • It shouldn't really be a problem. You want to get one that is just whey, no funny added stuff or lots of extra sweeteners. Just keep in mind it's not a balanced meal, but it's better than nothing. I would try to add some fruit or a healthy carb to it gradually if you can manage it. Also, whey can actually increase your…
  • I am currently about 210. Started at 240, I think I started here end of August/beg of Sept. I am hoping to get under that 200 mark between Christmas and New Years-ish. I have two boys, 8 and 4, and have done this before with Weight Watchers before I had my kids, but this time it's gonna be for good. Love some new friends :)
  • Beautiful! You have such lovely curves! I started at the same weight and only about halfway in, approaching onederland soon! Congratulations! You must be really enjoying yourself now : -) I have done this once before so I can imagine how much better you are feeling in your own skin.
  • I am 5' 6" and years ago when I lost weight the first time I got down to 140 but I think that was a bit thin for me. I have a larger bone structure so I think 150-160 will be fine for me.
  • I have a 7, I bought on ebay for about 59.00. Love it, although I haven't quite figured out how to get stuff transferred to the online service without buying the adapter thing. The fitness vs fat burn thing does kinda confuse me cause I'm almost always in the fitness zone but I think that is still helping me lose....
  • Usually the 180 only happens when I am running....doing a little c25k app on my phone. I used to run about 10 years ago, never had these gadgets then. The 180 does feel a bit gaspy, but I'm only running for like 90 sec intervals right now and the high rates only usually come toward the end of the 90 seconds.....then the…
  • Garbage - Control, Battle in Me, Man on a Wire
  • I am so happy to see so many positive responses to this. In the general public, it generally doesn't seem to be that way. Any time I read an article on a common news site about nursing in public or pictures, there seem to be about an equal number of naysayers and it always depresses me. Weeknd - Glad to see that the…
  • You can add me, I am in TX also...Austin, and I am a SAHM so I understand!!!
  • I lost over 100 lbs on WW about 10 years ago and now I am doing mfp. I think WW can teach you to eat better, but not in any way really that mfp doesn't do. I agree that you end up eating too many carbs with WW. I do wish sometimes though that I could have all those free fruits and veggies! Plus with WW it would have you…
  • Ha, no not everyone who nurses 6 months loses all their baby weight....really???? I tried doing WW while breastfeeding and I couldn't do it. I was SO SO SO SO hungry. And I ate my extra calories and still didn't lose. I'm not sure what to tell you, except good luck. I found it extremely difficult. I dropped the first 30…
  • You can do whatever you want, no one said you couldn't. Programs aren't all bad....but, it is an extra expense that isn't all that necessary, but some people need it and sometimes the structure of the program just provides something easier for people to stick to. If you aren't doing a program you have to make that choice…
  • Eggplant parmesean is really yummy. There is a lighter version than the traditional way: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/03/lighter-eggplant-parmesan-5-pts.html My husband and I used to make it this way all the time when we were on WW years ago.
  • I lost 100 lbs about 10 years ago, went from 240 to 140 and still never really lost the two bellies. The top one was flat enough that it wasn't noticeable anymore but I couldn't wear anything where you could see my midriff still, I was too self conscious of it. I would imagine if you have enough fat there for long enough…
  • I would talk to your Dr. It's probably possible to not gain alot if you watch what you eat really closely, but unless your doc gives you the ok I wouldn't try to lose purposely. I lost 100 lbs before having my babies so I could get healthy for them, gained 60 with my first and lost 30 of it after, again another 60 with the…
  • Have not read all the replies but wanted to add, I have an 8 yo son with ADHD and high functioning Autism. We decided to try medication with him after his Kindergarten year was a complete mess. We suspected something wasn't quite right with him when he was about 2 and had all this crazy energy and was crazy smart but…
