Thank you for giving me hope! I love running and do it often but am soon going to start heavy lifting. I hope that will bring good results.

I am totally willing to email a belly picture to someone if they can really tell me if it's just skin or fat. I am NOT posting a bare belly picture here(not brave enough, lol) but I often wonder if it's all skin or mostly fat. I can't really tell.

Oh wow, that's disheartening. :cry: I don't want to be stuck with this the rest of my life. Stupid stomach!!

So glad I am not the only one ladies!! I hate hate HATE that stupid flap hanging down. It makes me look awkward because I look skinny in my clothes but then my bottom tummy looks bigger than the rest of me. *Sigh* :sad:

Omg, going to have to try the nutella!!! I only eat the Fage 2% plain, but I think adding some nutella is a fantastic idea.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I actually didn't get to start week 4 yet because of weather but am hoping to do so this week. I am terrified! lol

I lost almost 100 pounds on WW prior to getting pregnant with my third child. It worked for me, but when I started losing PP weight again, I didn't feel like paying when I could do this for free. So I tried it, and I love MFP!! It works even better and for free!

Started out at 250 pounds. Mainly just did Wii games(Just Dance in particular) for a few hours a night. I played with my husband and friends so it was more fun than anything. About two months ago I started running as well. I run 5 days a week. I am currently 159 pounds.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Yes!! And by that point I am all just like screw it! I might as well eat ALL the icing packets now.

Neither...I will just take those delicious little packets of icing. :wink:

It's a myth that you need to eat breakfast. Your body isn't going to go into starvation mode because you chose to eat your first meal at noon rather than 6, 7, or 8am.

MILF Web definition MILF, an acronym for "Mother I'd Like to F***", is a common colloquial term generally regarded as vulgar when spelled out....

Where is Melody's boot camp?? I am always interested in local fitness places. :)

Umm, I am not sure you *do* know what a milf is then. You can ask mothers without asking MILFS. Just ask the ugly ones. :wink: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Oh and juicing can be healthy, but I don't see that as a lifestyle one could maintain forever.

I like to chew my food. That's not to say I don't enjoy homemade juices, I own a juicer. But I don't replace meals with it. I chew my meals and drink my juices. Good for your friend but most of that is probably water weight.

I can't possibly be the only KY mfp'er! :wink:

Mmm, gonna have to try this.

W2 D2 finished!! I switched gears and went to a park with a trail with more hills then my usual park trail I do. It caused my time to increase and my distance to decrease more than yesterday but I think it helped make it an awesome work out and build my endurance. Enjoyed it a lot.

This so much!!!!! <3

Don't focus on the scale numbers. They are deceiving. Focus on the inches you are losing! That's awesome that the inches are coming off and say a great deal more than that pesky little number. Inches off....GOOD! Even when the scale isn't moving.

Umm, no! You should be eating back your exercise calories. Continue doing that. Say you work out burning 300-400 calories, you are eating 1500 a day. So that leaves you with a net of 1100-1200 calories eaten for that day. Eat back those calories!!

For me it was day one. But the thing is it wasn't so much the RUNNING as it was everything else. When I am out there doing my run/walk, I am outside, by myself, in my own head, listening to my running playlist. It's peaceful, I can be lost in my thoughts, and push my body. I love it. If I were on a treadmill in a gym doing…

Pretty much this exactly! ;)

http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/eating-well/pregnancy-diet/calories.aspx That is where I posted from, but those numbers do seem on the higher side. I have three children but I won't pretend my experience is any help because I ate whatever I wanted each time. :blushing:

Slice lengthwise, but not all the way through. Split enough to sprinkle a few chocolate chips and mini marshmallows in it. Wrap in foil and put in the oven until it gets warm and gooey. Mmmm, such a decadent rich treat.
