I also, like so many posters, lost weight on WW (I actually went for a few months, lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks and then got pregnant & stopped-after my daughter was born, I stuck with the plan since I still had everything and just weighed myself in---for free! :tongue: and lost 20 more pounds ). But also, as everyone else said,…

Bump-I have to try this---even if its just to SAY I did it! :)

Ditto but I know people who log it as Modern Dance bc the calories are slightly lower and they dont want to overestimate. I cant wait to get an HRM to stop the guessing game!

I use photobucket. All of the websites mentioned are good. Just make sure you change any capital letters in the code when you copy and paste (mine say IMG) to lower case or they wont show~

A spa day sounds fabulous! How about a prize that you get to spend a certain amount of money & you have to spend it WITH your spouse, but the winner gets to choose what you do???? I would make mu husband see a chick flick, eat at MY favorite restuarant (or pick a fancy one), and take me dancing! :)

Dont really have anything to add, but I LOVE your profile pic! Boiler Up! ;)

BUMPING because Im very interested to see what responses you get! I have the same problem. My husband is an avid runner and stayed with me in my first 5k and said that I should take shorter, quicker breaths with my steps...two in, two out, but I felt like I was hyperventalating at times. He said its different for…

I fill a LARGE (25-30 oz)water bottle every morning and try to carry it around with me...but even if I dont, seeing it makes me remember to stop and take a swig! My goal is to drink 4 of them a day.. First thing EVERY morning, I gulp down one glass before my coffee...at least that gets me started.

OMG I havent laughed this hard in awhile! Thank you! :laugh:

6 servingss 1 cup each. (I add paprika to my breadcrumbs for a little zest!)

I made this while I was on WW and I believe its 1 cup servings.

I use laughing cow light swiss & also add Green Giant Cauliflower and Cheese Sauce to add my veggies...still low in calories and YUMMY!

With BOTH of my kids I got pregnang after I had lost 30-40 pounds! I know it seems sad and difficult, but I PROMISE you that it will be worth it when he/she is here. And you have the tools and knowledge of how to do it again when you are ready. 13 lbs in 20 weeks is really good as far as weight gain. It is true you gain…

I also ran my first on Saturday...totally agree and cant wait for next months! I never EVER imagined myself running in a 5k but now Im HOOKED!

:wink: DONE

Sommer Jo: Ive never heard "wasband" before and I just had to say I LOVE IT! I dont have one, but my best friend does and I cant wait to call her tomorrow & tell her about it! :drinker:

Honestly, in the beginning I just started working out at my gym & the difference was taking group classes (Step aerobics, pilates, Zumba, Strength Training). I had been a member 5 or 6 times before but never stuck with it. This time, I bit the bullet and started going to group classes. I was embarrassed at first, but then…

It sounds like you have already made up your mind, but you are looking for some support. :flowerforyou: In my opinion, you need to do what makes you feel comfortable. I am not comfortable with making other people uncomfortable & it sounds like you may be the same because you hesitiate bringing it up with her... so I…

Hi everyone! I first came to this post last week, but just in case...my name is Amber and I have two kiddies that I enjoy staying home with! My daughter "RJ" is 4 and my son "CJ" is 2. They are amazing and I wouldnt trade this time for ANYTHING! That being said, I need some advice desperately! (I posted this on my own…

I am 5'10 (at my last check up they said 5'9" but Im not convinced :wink: ) and this morning I weighed in at 185. I wear a size 12 and have a few 10s that work on a good day. Everyones body is different, but I would like to get down to 175 and reasses then. My goal size wise is an 8, but I carry a lot in my belly from my…

No, but Ive deleted and untagged a million bad pics of myself and replaced them with better ones! Have you ever pretended to be someone else to get a table in a restaurant--said it was you when they called someone else's name?

Thank you everyone! IT WAS AWESOME! I finished in 39:04 at a pace of 12:48. I would have liked to have done better timewise--Im never happy ;) -- but I did meet my goal of not walking! I am so looking forward to the next race on May 1. Whoever said watch out, its addicting was right! Now that Im proven to myself that I can…

This is just my opinion, so take it as you will, but once I weigh in, I dont change it. Only because I dont want to be disappointed next week if I count too low this week, then Im setting myself up to lose less next week. Does that make sense?

Wow! Thats spectacular! Way to go!

If you look back at her diaries before today (when she had given up by the way) you would see she didnt frequent Starbucks everyday. She had some bad habits that she could fix, but she wasnt jinxing herself everyday. Wheres the support? Do they sell the perfection serum you take?

OUCH! That wasnt very nice...everyone gets down on themselves and maybe all she needed was a little support and seeing success stories and advice is the best way to do that...shame on you for reacting like that to someone asking for help! kristinwalker-I had a plateau for a while too that SUCKED! I just pushed through it…

I agree. I am also 5'10" with a large structure. I started at 230 and was at 187 on my last weigh in. My goal is 175. I could never go below 170 (charts say 169 would be good) because it looks unhealthy and is impossible to maintain. I think that how you feel physically and feel about how you look is more important than…

Thank you!

HI! I am so glad to see a SAHM group! I am a SAHM in NW Indiana. I have a four year old daughter and two year old son. Being a SAHM is the best choice I have made since I decided to have children in the first place! I cant wait to "meet" all of you!

I have to admit, i had it as a snack today and did a whole TBSP! The serving size is 2 TBSP but I dont think I will let myself go there!
