For breakfast, I do steel cut oatmeal (i make a week's supply on the weekend), with 1/3rd cup of milk, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tbsp sliced almonds, with ground cinnamon sprinkled on it. It comes up to about 275 calories, tastes like dessert and keeps me full till lunch. I'm not a fruit lover and am really a bad snacked. So in…

Welcome to the group Heather! I'm Anu and my story is similar to yours. I was not exactly obese or too overweight, but not thin either and then after I got married and especially after the baby I reached my highest weight. Put on 50 lbs. Have lost 12 so far, but some 40+ to go. I was (and at times still am) a snacker. I…

Great work everyone!! How about getting 3 servings of veggies/fruits every day for this week's challenge? Or do people want to do something else?

That's great ladies! Swimming in cold water, 5k....that's awesome. I love swimming. I had started running, was on week 6 of couch to 5k when I developed severe knee pain and swelling. Went to the doc and it turned out I have early onset arthritis (I'm only 36 ... yeah that's not young, but it's too young to have…

I'm about to hit the treadmill so that will make it twice this week.

Yeah, I hate working out in front of my husband too.....I go to the basement (where our treadmill is) and tell him and my kid to stay away until I'm done...:-P.... this is why I can't ever do exercise videos...lol....

Hi everyone! I'm Anu. I am also a mom of a 3 year old and I work full time. I have never really been super thin and have struggled with weight problems my entire adult life. However, I was not too overweight until I had my baby. I was always toward the top end of the "healthy weight range" so I didn't looks skinny but…

Wow! That's great! I need to stay on track. I had forgotten we have some plans on both days this weekend, so I really need to try to fit in the workouts in the weekdays, which can be a challenge....but I'm going to try my best!!

Okay, since two people mentioned workout, let's do a 4 workouts this week! We can pick another one next week....:) I worked out today....3 more days to go for the week :)

Welcome to the group! :)

Thanks!

Muffins and starbucks drinks always surprise. I'd rather eat a small cupcake than a grande mocha! :)

AMAZING achievement!! That is absolutely incredible and very inspiring! Great job.

I have the exact problem. Here are a few things that helped. I know people say that eating smaller meals throughout the day is better, but that didn't work for me. I was in the eating mode all day long that way. So now I have 4 meals - breakfast, lunch, snack around 4:30 pm after work, and dinner. I plan my meal and log my…

I have about 50 lbs to lose. Feel free to add me. Good luck!

I'm in!

I work out for 30 minutes about 4 times a week.

Me too...feel free to add me.

Okay, I have hypothyroidism and I have a cousin who is endocrinologist and two cousins who are pharmacists. Here's the information I have got after questioning all of them. For most medications, the generics work just as well as the brand name ones. According to FDA or whoever regulates medications, a med can have 20% more…

I am in the same boat. Full time work, 30 minute commute, and having a toddler makes it difficult to make time for workouts for me. I am also not a morning person. I can barely be up at 5:45 am to get to work on time. Also with everything that needs to be done, it's hard to get to bed before 10 or 10:30. I need my 7 hours…

Totally agree! I would just stay out of it, unless specifically asked to give any advice.

These visual guides are very useful! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for helpful hints!

Welcome to my world! I had the same problem. Once I went over my daily calorie allowance, I would think "Oh I blew it for the day, so now let me just eat what I want and I'll be better tomorrow." This was such a flawed way of thinking. I still occasionally fall prey to this, but I'm trying to be better. I don't have any…

Wow! Thanks for posting this. Definitely enlightening!
