3 kids. Nursing makes my hunger cues unreal. But I'm done with nursing forever so now I have no excuse.

Unfortunately a water fast won't do anything except put you in a bad mood.

Mine does this every once and awhile (it's doing it now actually) I usually just wait until morning and it fixes itself

My glutes.

I set my diary to gain half a pound a week while breastfeeding and that helped me get started on where I needed to be.

Breakfest - eggs Snack- cashews Lunch - tuna salad Snack - banana and peanutbutter protein shake. Dinner- Every Wednesday night I have one of my son's cook dinner (trying to teach them how to cook) Tonight is spaghetti and meatballs.

I love dancing. Weightlifting can be fun too. I've just gotten into audiobooks so I can enjoy lifting more.

40 pounds. (He started at 220 I started at 190) I keep trying to tell him that! But he won't listen! And everyone telling him how good he looks isn't helping!

This was a fun read with a happy ending!

Actually, yes (I didn't realize this until just now hahaha)

I promise no fit person is thinking that. They're more excited that you're there!

Yeah... it was my mom who said it... She's always said snide comments about my weight. I can usually ignore them but this time it hurt because I HAVE lost weight but it's not showing yet because I'm purposely going slow.

Weight loss is a lot easier for me when I'm not drinking alcohol. Currently I'm only drinking socially (when I'm not driving) and that's been a great moderation for me.

Not at your weight and height. Set your diary to "maintain" your weight. One thing I'm REALLY happy I did most of my last pregnancy was lifting. Obviously get the "okay" from your doctor first. But lifting really REALLY helped me hide my pregnancy weight gain.

I use to drink diet soda alllllllll the time (everyday) and I would lose weight just fine. I stopped because I'm trying to save money right now and water and coffee is cheaper than soda.

Does no one else hold onto excess water weight after an all-you-can-eat-and-drink vacation? I do alllll the time. I didn't weigh myself before the vacation but I weighed myself after because I knew it would feel good to watch the scale go down easily hahaha. I'm aiming to lose a little more than a pound a week until I get…

I just started (sw 190 - gw 150) and lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. After November I'm going to set my diary to lose 1 pound a week. Once I get to 160 I'm going to set my diary to lose .5 pounds a week.

Congratulations! For me personally, I added in 500 extra calories for breastfeeding.

This is the only strategy that makes any sense.

Hahaha the last month of pregnancy always feels like a year. I was going to enjoy half of my last month of pregnancy!

I logged 90% of my last pregnancy (November 2017 baby) and those hunger signals are like none other (correction - breastfeeding was even worse... Sorry) I set my diary to gain .5 pounds a week the second I got second trimester, 1 pound a week the second I hit the 3rd trimester and 2 pounds a week for the last 2 weeks just…

Yes. But I teach dance and I consider that work a mild workout. Sunday - lift upper body Monday - teach 1 hour of tap Tuesday - teach 3 hours of hip-hop Wednesday- lift lower body Thursday - teach 2 hours of ballet Friday - teach 2 hours tiny ballet and lift upper body. Saturday - teach 4 hours of ballet and hip-hop. Lift…

Talk to your doctor first. Edit- ah i meant to post my experience but then I accidently hit, "post." Sorry! My experience. I had IT band pain for months and months. My doctor suggested a cortisone shot in my IT band. I got it in 2015 and I haven't had IT band pain since!

Go to this thread. It's amazing. If you want suggestions on beginners lifting programs, I would recommend Strong Lifts or Strong Curves.

Water water Water. Drink tons of water, mostly for your face but also I felt a lot less bloated when I'm properly hydrated.

Ah! Day 3 here of no alcohol. I miss it but I'm going to save it for special occasions only because it's easier to stay in a deficit without drinking a bottle of wine 3x a week.

I always attempt to do keto and I always fail because the keto flu will not go away for me and I get REALLY depressed doing keto (and I get THE WORST breath) But keto foods are all my favorite foods so every once in awhile I'll accidently put myself in ketosis and then I'll have to grab like a handful of candy to make me…

Team Kitchen if those 2 were the only 2 factors. But I'm all for convenience and after you said the kitchen was further away I became Team Gym.

When I drink I drink a spirit and soda water- so rum and soda or tequila and soda.
