Awesome, I will!

You found me out!

Love #8! I have been making myself write it down lately. It has really made me aware of how far the binging goes.

It's a lot of fun! A great way to get in exercise without dreading it completely.

Oh, and I love to cook. It is calming for me. Problem is I eat half of what I make before it gets to the table.

Yep, I totally eat my feelings when I'm stressed. Once the kids are in bed and I *finally* sit down to relax....that is when it gets bad. I try to keep the bad stuff mostly out, but my oldest son likes to get treats sometimes and damnable if I don't clean his candy dtash out when he goes to sleep. Geez, you know…

Hi! I'm a SAHM too. I'm trying to drop the pregnancy weight too! Would love to join you for this journey!

What is this? The word fasting scares me.

Awesome advice. You broke it down for me. I'm going to keep re-reading this.

I might just try that. The shame alone would probably keep me out of the kitchen.

You! Get out of my head!! :)

No time for me really. I'm getting better about exercise. I do think much of the problem is emotional. I guess food is my crack rock.

This!! Exactly. All or nothing for me too!

I haven't tried making the individual portions. Honetsly, sometimes the junk food doesn't even make it into the house from the store because I ate in all in the car. :/

I want a lift too! Weight gain, back to back pregnancies, more weight gain, nursing 2 babies... I'm all National Geographic now. I'm a 38 DD, before kids I was lucky to be an A. I have nicknamed them Flapjacks.

Isolated on an island with Black Widow...

I would love to offer support! I also have a 2 year old and 9 month old. The weight from the first hadn't dropped off and I was already pregnant again! It's frustrating for sure to drop the pounds.

Ultimately, I would love to lose 70 lbs. I feel like setting the ticker in 20 lb increments is more encouraging to me. I work better with the smaller goals.

Mine is just "whatever". He does not care either way, whether I lose it or keep it on. He is a big guy too, and he complains about the new healthy food in the house. I'm hoping with time, and with the changes he sees in me, he will come around. Maybe that will happen for you?? I'm sure your husband is feeling insecure with…

This. THIS is what I need. Thank you.

Wow, I go do my daily belly dancing, and come back to all of these kind words. Thank you. This is exactly, EXACTLY what I needed. Made some new "Stranger friends" today! Y'all got me MOTIVATED!!

I am very glad I have loved ones. I prefer not to imagine not having them, as my Mom is already forgetting who I am, so I will be losing her all too soon. We all have a bad day, we all get discouraged, we all feel alone. There would not be a Support and Motivation board if this wasn't the case. I came here today just to…

I think, along with weight loss and health goals, I should set some social goals. Joining a gym is a long way off, but I am going to look for a Mom's group....and try not to wimp out contacting them. I know that I am not the only overweight mom. Its irrational, I could be surrounded by people my size, and still feel like I…

Thanks for the encouraging words. It is frustrating, because I do know I can do it. I don't know how to explain it exactly....but 4 days ago, something clicked. I looked in the mirror, and instead of wanting to cry, I wanted to scream. I've gotten angry about what I have done to my body. Until a few years ago, I was fit.…

I would like to be a part of this!

That is a sweet baby picture Pepper!!

I have been halfheartedly preparing meals in advance for the past month. I want to commit to it better. I could eat great for 3 or 4 days, and then have an off day with all 3 kids leaving me grumpy and in no mood to cook. So I get take out. Then the cycle starts....for the next few days after that, it's pizza, then the…

Yes! The random food I grab when I'm tired is ridiculous. If its 2am and its just me and the baby awake...Well, my sons Halloween candy is fair game. Spoonfuls of peanut butter because I forgot to eat breakfast? Why not!? Yeah, and I wonder why I'm big. So, do y'all add in the extra calories to account for nursing each day?

I would love a buddy!!! I do so much better when I am being held accountable! I'm 30, 5'7, and 205. Ive had 3 children. I just want to get to a healthy weight for my body. It would be nice to be the weight I was when I met my husband. 175 and a size 10. I'm very bottom heavy as far as body type.
