Thank you! I feel better with more protein in my diet as well, I've been consistently going over the recommendation; thought I was doing something wrong. Off to change it!

1. Where do you find those settings? I'm not seeing them 2. How do you determine appropriate ratios? Trial and error?

We do the majority of our grocery shopping at Aldi. I dont know if you have that store near you but it is wonderful for the budget and has a pretty good produce section, which tends to change seasonally (which is great). We get a much bigger bang for our buck shopping there.

what a wonderful achievement!

The inherent problem for someone with an ed history of ed etc. Is that trying to be healthy often will lead right back to where you started. Similar how it is easy to slide back into alcoholism or other addictive behaviors...so it is very easy on a site like this to see people struggling with reverting back into those…

Yeah, talk to your doctor, sounds a bit like symptoms of post partum depression. Also, if you are breastfeeding it is normal to feel more hungry. And obviously more tired with a new baby!

I love wine. I'm a wine drinker. I love to drink lots and lots of wine. At a point it becomes less about the delicious taste of your glass of wine you are enjoying with dinner, and more about your lack of self control and enjoying a buzz. A glass of wine with dinner? Great! But why the need to drink more? I am abstaining…

For women who are extremely overweight it can be safe to lose weight in pregnancy...while under a doctor's supervison. Talk to your doctor about this

I can't get up earlier. I know that sounds like a cop-out, and many people can, but with my two toddlers I am just exhausted and I realized life is too short to be miserable getting out of bed. So I am starting with something I know I can do. A fifteen minute T-TAPP video per day. I fit this in whenever I can find time,…

Wow that was really hard for me! I'm starting late so I'm just 2/6O, don't know if I will catch up. I did it modified and low. Man, I am weak! Hard to keep my stomach off the ground :-) hopefully that's motivation to keep going instead of quitting!

I want to try!

It changes for me...if I am in an unhealthy mindset I try to curb it to once a week or less. Otherwise I will do it everyday. My body doesn't tend to fluxuate. I'd be 240 for days and suddenly 238.8, then another drop several days/week later. So if it keeps rising its usually I'm doing something wrong--too much sodium,…

I stay at home. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I gained an excessive amount of weight with my first pregnancy...I don't even know how much...then lost some right before I got pregnant with the youngest, so I started pregnancy at 239 lbs. I gained 20-25 during pregnancy, lost it all and a little more and somehow…

Thanks for the inspiration! I had baby #2 about a year ago, stopped breastfeeding a month or two ago.,. And just realized that the weight loss stalled and I have been gaining all summer. Oops! Very encouraging to see your progress! hope to lose a bit before baby # 3!

Thanks!!

So what do you do with the frame size information? How might that change your target weight? I mean, I understand the how part, but are there any sites I can look at for more info on good target weight for my frame? I came up with medium and that is probably accurate...I'm a pear shape...my wrist was 6.25 but I've always…
