I think 3 days is too strict. I don't log for 3 days each month. Drill weekends. And no cell with internet capablities or laptop that I can bring with. So yeah I think 3 days is too strict.

I want to be 155 by Apr 20 so thats about 10 lbs. In a couple of months. Physical Fitness Assessment for Navy.

The inches will come off sooner than later. I was having the same problem for a long time I would lose weight and my inches wouldn't budge but my inches are starting to go down. Yay.

Start doing pushups on your knees. It will help you develop upper body strength. You can also do pushups with your hands on your coffee table or couch or even the wall. As to how long it takes it verys from person to person depending on how much upper body strength you have. I was there couldn't do a pushup to save my life…

My brothers daughter did it a few times to jump start weight loss...but would end up so lightheaded after a couple of days that I just don't think its worth even trying.

Also if 30 is too much at one time you can break it up into something that you can handle...My mom is 61 and the doc only wants her to start with 10 min a day at a slow pace. So good luck to you on your journey and here's a toast to your health:drinker:

Sheboygan born and raised

I know you girls are talking about pills and IUDs but there is another option not on here that I loved called a diaphram it gets fitted by Gyn-NP and when it gets used you don't feel it no hormones just a little bit of spermacide and the dome and thats it. I am paranoid about IUDs and therefore will never get one gained…

I'll bring the veggie tray with peanut butter hope noone is allergic to peanuts...Gratz:drinker: :bigsmile:

Depends on the tat and if the person can pull it off...I have seen some cute tats in that location but personally I prefer my tats in a different location.

Up your calories and start eating healthy fats like olive oil and peanut butter please fat will not make you fat and eating at your bmr will not make you fat. Protein=lean mass Carbs=energy Fat=everything else

You can add me Stats 5' 3" 32 Mother of 1 Highest weight while preg 170 SW 175 CW 165 GW 130

Same here I have to force myself to eat. When stressed out I lose my appitite and pace the floor.

Yes it is normal to have an off week where your weight doesn't go anywhere. I have had a month were my weight didn't go anywhere then it started to come off 1lb daily for 3 or 4 days. Still 1lb a week. You will hit little bumps in the road and it will seem like nothing is working but it will come off sooner or later but…

20lbs is not alot and is very hard to get rid of. Just be patient sometimes the body's natural responce to working out is to gain weight aka muscle and then you will start to lose weight. Yes lift weights I was drug with to go lift weights with my boss when I was active duty and I lift weights in high school. I also lift…

Good job you are beautiful.

Maybe you seen a news cast with JA in it or saw a show or even a comerical (SP) with her in it or something recently which caused your brain to file it away and also the celeb crush you have. I have had weird dreams as well and sometimes a dream is just a dream.

Don' t know. I get offended by people who get offended easily.:laugh:

Most definitely. Keep it up.

Pumpkin is a squash if that helps

What ever works best for you so that you are able to keep up with it. And don't let anyone tell you that you have to work out at a time that is inconvenent for you. BTW military bootcamp workout before eating anything in the morning and I was in the best shape of my life when I graduated from bootcamp.

doughnuts, and pizza.

Every day. I like to track my progress daily. And I don't freak out if I gain a pound one or two days.

Losing just 10 lbs can lower your BP. I have lost close to 10 LBS and my BP is getting closer to normal. So yes 10 LBS will bring your BP down as much as limiting your sodium. Good luck with your BP.

I leave room for it every day otherwise I would go crazy with my cravings. Yeah I'm the type of woman that you do not take choc. away from.

First all yay for you. I don't really have any nsv as I have only been on here a little while. But on that note soo happy for you.:drinker: :bigsmile:

I absolutly love my food scale I just bought one and am shocked at how small serving sizes are. I never learned proper portion sizes and I also don't do well by compairing it to other things like meat deck of cards is that 4 or 5 oz accutally.

Spices 5 or 6 calories per teaspoon. I love cooking with spices as opposed to salt.

I fit back in my pre pregnancy clothes after the birth of my daughter. Sorry I can't give you any advice on getting back there because I was one of the lucky ones that bounced back right away but it is possible.

I agree with Sgtrowley having a buddy to workout with you can be the push that you need. I would not work out for a day or two and my now ex husband would start screaming about how I need to workout motivation killer. Yes working out is a big one for the military. And yes a drill SGT can motivate like none other.:happy:
