Almost exact same boat. My baby is 7 months old. I have gained 20 lbs SINCE giving birth plus the 30 I needed to lose beforehand so I've got 50 lbs to lose. I lost 50 lbs before with mfp so I'm gonna do it again. I am open to like minded friends! :)

It could be that you just tweaked something or it could be indicative of a bigger issue. What exercises specifically are causing the strain? Do you see a chiropractor? There might be a physical therapist there that could lead you in the right direction as to what may be causing the pain.

Oh I get it. Everyone knows that I have been on this journey for almost a year and i was afraid they would either judge my little indulgences and be like "That's how she got fat in the first place" or I was afraid they would criticize me for eating to little or being to picky. I got a few comments about how I should…

I would love one and there have already been a couple of really cute slogans that I wouldn't mind sporting. I like the idea of t-shirts and tanks.

Green tea or Chai tea with a splash of milk If I want sweet I have a Dove dark chocolate heart If I want salty I have a couple of cups of reduced fat popcorn

You do a great job. Could you add milk or a bit of cheese? Good source of protein, filling, and a bit of a calorie boost.

I hope that the person was not serious but I think they should still be punished. Is there any way to flag a post so that MFP can zero in on a poster and possibly track them? I know on a pregnancy forum I belonged to, the owners were able to trace the IP address and ferret out the trolls and those that were looking to take…

Kudos to you. I have remarked several times that I needed to wear my heart rate monitor so I could get a baseline. I told my girlfriends if they ever saw an entry that said, "Horizontal polka" to not ask! LOL

The color is perfect for the hen party! You look awesome! I would get more delicate shoes so the emphasis can be on the dress. You should post a pic of what you decide. Congrats!

Anyone?

First concert was Alanis Morrisette and Tori Amos Last concert was New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys

Aw, that's great! Love it when motivation comes from unexpected sources! Congrats

Your diary looks a lot like when I started. For one, I have to have a more filling breakfast or I start snacking earlier. The more fiber or protein in breakfast, the better. Egg whites are your friend. I like carbs in the morning as well but I have to be careful about sugar because if I get too much in the morning, it sets…

For me it feels like I am sitting on a bone and it hurts!!!! I find the froggies and the very last set to be the hardest for me. I use a yoga mat, on carpet, and it still hurts. I have to play with the angle of my bottom, and adjust the cheeks. Sometimes I get in the right position immediately, sometimes I can't figure it…

I would go the tough love approach. He is living in your home. He is using his money to buy junk food and alcohol instead of paying his bills. He needs to get on a budget and stick to it. While doing the budget, show him how much money he spends on going out to eat or drink. You don't even have to mention weight, money is…
-
Dresses and bottoms with drawstrings have been my friend. Pretty much every shirt I own is too big now but when your bottoms are too big, you can get into trouble. LOL I've had decent luck at the Goodwill store, buying new shorts that still had the original price tags on them. Outlets are great too when combined with…

Right now, I rarely work out with hubby. He goes to the gym to do weights. He also woke up one day and decided he would run and then BAM, he can run 3-4 miles without thinking about it. I on the other hand have been struggling for almost 3 months and have only just now managed to run 2.5 miles without stopping. He tried to…

42 lbs in 8 months and still going!
-
41 lbs down without a gym or large exercise equipment (have had occassional use of elliptical) I used the library to have a constant rotation of dvds (circuit training, yoga, kickboxing, dance, etc). If there are ones that I really liked, I waited for a deal and bought them (I love Jillian Michaels). I started with 2 lb…
-
Awesome! I just figured out how to view YouTube on my tv so these are gonna be great! Also, y'all don't forget your local library! I get tons of videos from there.
-
Use your library. Mine allows reserving of videos online. I have a constant stream of new videos coming and going so I can keep the burn up and not get bored. If I really, really like one, I buy it. Jillian is my fave. I have the Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones. Both get great burns. Jari Love has a…

I get really bad shin splints and I recently bought Asic Gels. I tried on several pair because even in the Asics line, different styles fit differently across my toes and some definitely felt snug. I've only felt brave enough to run without my compression sleeves once but I didn't get the stabbing pains I had gotten…

My diary is open. I don't eat great but I don't eat as bad as I used to. I've never gotten any feedback on my diary. Any I get will be taken with a grain of salt. I love to look at other people's diaries. When I see success stories or halfway there pictures, I want to see what they did to get there. I'm often extremely…

I'm on week 2 and I'm averaging about 300 calories. If you eat back your exercise calories, I would go with the lower number.

I did a Leslie Sansone video that came with a walking belt. Even when I wasn't actively using the belt, having it around my waist reminded me to pull in the belly button and make sure I was standing straight. You could use a wide belt of any kind and put it around your waist, not tight but close to snug. Then practice…

When I first started exercising, they were terrible. I couldn't hardly walk. I got new shoes, specific for the activity I was doing (cross training) and I also bought some compression sleeves that go over my calves. They helped so much! I notice an immediate difference when I don't wear them. I've started to learn to jog…

This sounds awesome! It will be my first challenge. Count me in!

I found that taking prenatals with iron were better on my stomach than just a regular iron pill. I take it with a whole glass of water every time. Be careful not to take with milk as calcium can affect the absorption of iron. As for defeating constipation, extra water and water-filled foods like melons, citrus, and the…
-
I totally get what you are going through. I don't make separate meals but I do make a bit extra for hubby to eat. He is on MFP trying to gain and I'm losing. I still want to make healthy food because even if he needs to eat more calories, they don't need to be high fat, cholesterol, processed calories. So, I make chicken…
