I am not going to be much help at all but I have bad knee pain too! One knee is worse than the other. I am in my 3rd week of Insanity and it sucks so bad! Sometimes the pain is almost unbearable. My aunt told me it is probably the extra weight on my joints in conjunction with the exercise. My knee has been hurting all…

Hi, I am currently breastfeeding my newborn (6 weeks) and I am 27, however I lost a good amount of weight in the first 3 weeks postpartum and now it feels like I gained some of it back! I have now started really being more strict with tracking my cals on here, and I am about to finally start working out again. I am hoping…

OK I have one... you do get a workout from using it (only on your core and a little upper body) but it doesn't help a whole lot with the flab...I had a C-section and that flab is only going to come off with diet :-(. The machine is decent, but it is tough to do longer than 4 min at a time!

HELP! Me and my hubs have been TTCAL for about 3 months now ....well we have been charting my fertility and I have been keeping track of all changes in my cervical mucus. Well my menses is late only 3 days but for me that is not normal at all. I am normally right on target every 28 days (down to the time of day) well I…

My doctor told me that herbal tea counts toward your water intake...so if you drink herbal tea with Truvia, or Stevia instead of sugar you can count that too. I ony drink about 2 bottles of water daily but my green tea, and yerba mate' tea make up for it :-)

I love almond milk...except for cereal I still use regular 1% organic milk, but for EVERYTHING else (and I mean everything) the almond milk is so great! It tastes good, it comes in sweetened and unsweetened varieties (I buy sweetened) You can use it in tons of recipes...I put it in pancakes, cornbread, oatmeal, cakes, hot…

I am all out of Greek yogurt I only have organic low fat vanilla yogurt in the fridge, idk about using it for them though, lol!

YAY deviled eggs it is!

Hey you know what? I don't but I never thought about adding my multi-vitamin on my food tracker! It obviously has so many vitmains in it that I am getting and never accounting for. I am taking a Prenatal vitamin since we are trying to concieve. I think I am going to add it today...thanks for bringing this topic up!

This rice pudding is sooo good seriously, I loved it!

O-M-G Can I tell you that I am 5'8 and feel the same way!?!?!?! I have never been this size before in my life, but I guess i have gotten kinda used to the extra weight cause I don't think that I honestly look so bad. I am at 216 and I am hoping to just lose another 24 pounds and I will be just fine with that, I don't…

:wink:

ME! I hate the no/low carb thing, but it does work. I am about to start incorporating a small amount of complex carbs into my diet now....I just cannot do this much longer I have been doing it for a month....

Aw! I love cats! What a cutie :-)

Yes this is so true, I was watching one of my fav shows "Dr. Oz" and he was talking about doing a Mediterranean diet...which I love the majority of the Mediterranean types of foods. But I am an equal opportunity cultural food lover! LOL I like a little bit from everywhere!

Small portions are so hard when the food is good! LOL

I definitely watch my sugar intake! Sugar turns to fat in our system and once you cut out a lot of sugar and watch your starch intake the fat will really start to melt away. I try to only eat fruits in the AM, and then nothing else sugary throughout the day...once a week I will have cookie or something yummy, but other…

:noway:

Try drinking water with lemon juice in it more often...(that really helps me) Also watch the documentary "Super-Size Me" That should help you stop touching the fast food poison for at least 60 days!

Ok you look awesome, and your pics are definitely motivational... WAY TO GO!

68 STICKS! YAY! (and I am a baker so that makes me look at butter so differently now!):laugh:

I am in the same boat....I know I need to drink more but I am not doing that great at drinking my water. However I did talk to my doctor about it and she said you can count cups of tea as water too....so if you have a cup of tea add that to your water intake, I hope that helps!

THANKS! I never thought to make my favorite salad that way! I cannot wait to try this :-)

Thank you!

Aw! That is great :-) Way to go.

Wow everything sounds so good, I am getting started now!

Honestly I wait to weigh myself until the day after my period goes off and surprisingly enough I still lost weight! I just could not bring myself to do it during cause I did not want to get depressed from any increases.

I would not be happy about my scale moving up....I think a good workout in the AM can combat the extra calories though :wink:
