YES! I have been there! Still going through it. My child is 9 now, but had him put on ritalin and then concerta. Not only is he ADHD he has some sensory issues as well. We have had issues with him since a very young age. We finally decided that medication was the right route. We were anti-drug too seeing as my husband is a…

I have a glass of vanilla soy milk or yogurt. Its not too heavy before you go to bed and it is satisfying :):drinker:

I dream of fitting into skinny jeans and it look like Im not stuffing a sausage in a jacket :( I'm pear shape so its gonna be challenging.

My name would be Ginger Sugarmill :)

Have you ever tried this recipe with pumpkin? I typically use a belgium waffle recipe with pumpkin to feed the family and its the only time I can get my kids to shut up and eat :) There is complete silence when I serve them b/c they are gobbling it all down. I add pumpkin spice to it as well. That with some turkey bacon…

I get on MFP an start reading anything and everything to get my mind off it! Success stories help a whole lot :) I'm an emotional binge eater as well and so far this strategy has helped me. I also remove problem trigger foods from the house and bring in healthy alternatives when I want to binge. Getting your mind to change…

Done! I am sore but I'm sure my butt will be thanking me :)

Get an aerobics ball! Not only is it fun and bouncy, doing figure eights and crunches with it really isolate those abs and back muscles. I've had three kids and it has helped mean help build some awesome muscles that are slowly coming through. Also changing up your intensity to your workouts can help you shed more inches.

I am built just like that up top too! Not matter what I lift light or heavy my arms bulk up as well as my shoulders. I think its just a genetic thing in my family that putting on muscle is really easy. My father was a body builder and could bulk up really fast. I stick with light weights and circuit training. I learned to…

I will stay on track b/c I want to bring "my sexy" back!

Man I hate lunges! But they make your butt look awesome so...I'm in!:wink:

YES! I generally eat healthy and then BAM...something stressful happens and I'm binging on pizza and sweets. I hate it! That instant dopamine release when you eat chocolate just soothes me and makes me feel better. However I just don't eat a few...but lots of it til I'm sick. Then the guilt happens and whatever progress I…

I have three boys and I goto school as well and find time in the evening when my hubby gets off work or after I put kids to bed. What you can do is find a good time you want to work out and see if a friend/ neighbor will watch him while you work out at home. Its more ideal to do first thing and get it out of the way if you…

Hey whats better than sex and video games! A couple of glasses of wine and BAM...everyone wins. And your nerdy gamer husband is amazed just much you can multitask:love:

Nerdy science guys who can walk you through organic chemistry and math problems with a smile on their face! A man who can talk nerdy to me :) O and guys with long flowing hair with long sexy eyelashes!

Yay! Nuts here I come! I definitely will measure and ration out my portions:)

Are you on any birth control hormones? I struggle with migraines as well and have tried many things as well. I have found that being on a low dose of hormone limits the amount of migraines I get, which enables me to function better. Are yours debilitating? I know once I have one, I have to be in bed for the rest of the day…

Some grocery stores carry a brand called No Pudge brownies that are made from organic ingredients and all you do is add fat free vanilla yogurt to it and bake it. When i am in a fix, I make these and are not that many calories per serving and NO FAT:) Taste Awesome!

You are doing a great job! I'm trying to lose 20 lbs and is difficult. Way to go with all your progress!

Yea I do have to say a naked wife would be hard to resist :) Esp covered in chocolate!

I have made batches of dough and frozen the rest. Would work except that I love love love dough! I can't resist licking the damn spoon! Some days are better than others, but I'm working on it. Dough is just as dangerous as the baked cookie :) I made cake pops for my son's bday and did fairly well....only ate one finished…

Sweets mostly such as home baked goods. My fav is chocolate cake or brownies. This really sucks because I love to bake and am very talented at it. I hate not being able to feel "safe" with these baked goods b/c I know with one slip I will eat way too many cookies or brownies. So I help myself, I try to limit how much I…

I don't think I will ever have the weight loss conversation with my husband b/c hes a twigg however I see myself having one about physical endurance and being able to keep up sexually :) Exercise works wonders in that department and he doesnt work out like I do. It's in the works though :)

I hate donuts! Everyone in my family eats them but me. Fried bread isn't appetizing to me. But then again....if I do eat one, I taste it for days due to the whole heart burn thing. Gross!

I personally believe chocolate makes the world go round and could never live without it. I get mine in an protein bar or shake and my fav chocolate candy is frozen peppermint patties! Work out so you can eat your fav candy or cookie! It will and can fit in your budget. The ideal is not to over eat it. UGH! Which can be…

I usually drink 2 cups a day...too many more than that gives me stomach ulcers. I do find other sources of caffeine though when i need an extra boost in the afternoon. like AMP energy drink.

My goal weight is 120. I am currently 138. I have a small frame and am pear shaped so all my weight goes to my hips and butt. Three kids later....it was bound to happen. Back problems will always make me weary of my weight. Every pound adds stress to my injured discs.

Yea I gave up the fact I will never lose wt on those weeks b/c its just too much water weight and the sugar monsters are always after me. Not to mention I suffer from migraines so if I don't cave I'm in for it. Just plan on the salty/sweet thing and make it in a controlled setting. Maintaining wt on those weeks are an…

I am presently dealing with this myself. Chocolate vanilla soymilk or perhaps chocolate mouse jello pudding gives me chocolate and not too many extra calories. I don't know about you, but if I don't eat something with chocolate, I end up binging anyway and feeling horrible the next day. This time is always my set back…

I do PT as well and I suffer from 2 ruptured discs and degenerative disc disease and 30 yrs old. I have to do low impact activities such as the elliptical and water exercises. I'm am trying to lose about 20 lbs myself and am having a hard time. Logging everything can be challenging but pushing through the pain with…
