you are doing great!

Good points. These are all things I have been doing (minus the praying part). You really do need to get excited about the journey.

steamed broccoli or baked asparagus with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt & pepper

feel free to add me! I have a 7 month old baby girl and can't believe what eating right and exercise is doing to my body :) I have been exercising after she goes to bed and have curbed my snack habit. Good luck to you!

looking great!

I'm a nursing mom. I give myself an extra 150 since she is eating solids now. I haven't had any issues with my supply. I nurse around every 4 hours.

Feel free to add me too! This is my second month and it has been such a great place for support :) Good luck to you!

I love it!! I am currently doing the 9 week program and I totally think it is helping me with my weight loss.

good luck to you! this site is fantastic and will really make you think about what you are putting in your mouth.

Good luck with your new lifestyle change! I think you'll find this website to be very supportive. It has done wonders in making me evaluate what I put in my mouth.

I can't wait to be 'overweight' too. Being 'obsese' sucks! I have EA Active Sports 2 and my person is identified as being 'husky'. Can't wait to be the 'average' person. Wii Fit sounds kinda mean in that regard. Congrats on the weight loss!

I agree compared to your old habits you did really well to resist temtation. The fact that you were/are thinking about your food choices is amazing!! Keep up the great work peppers :) P.S I binged on chips the other day..UGH...hasn't hurt my weightloss though since I have been exercising and eating well for the most part.

I agree that a 1 pound a week weight loss is actually good - they say slow and steady is the best in terms of keeping it off in the long run. P90X is hardcore so like the others I say that you need to eat more of your exercise calories.

I find that MFP overestimates calories (like soooo bad). I would go with the EA calories (I do!). I'm also doing the 9 week challenge.

I defintely don't go by MFP calories burned. I find for the most part they overestimate what is really burned. I use EA Active Sports for PS3 and you are hooked up to a heart monitor. That way I know for sure how many calories I am burning.

I've overeaten the past two days. I managed to exercise thank goodness but I don't think it's enough. Here's hoping we both get back on track! I think it is completely normal to have off days (or two). You are not alone.

I am a potato chip addict too :) This is day 15 with no chips for me. I was at the grocery store the other day and I didn't even go down the snack aisle - didn't even feel the desire to. Go us!

I'd say 12 pounds since December is fantastic!! Slow and steady is the way to go. I feel your pain (and I've *only* lost 5 pounds since Dec). Like previous posters, I feel like it took me 7 years to put all this weight on so I need to understand that it won't come off right away. You're doing great!

no more potato chips. they are my biggest weakness in life and I often eat a whole bag in a day. I will allow myself other snacks once in awhile but I know if I don't eliminate this from my diet I will never lose weight.
