LOL- your post made me laugh. 25 pounds ago I used to get knocked out by my size DDD's. Now I am very happy with my C's since they don't interfere with my running. I am a single mom as well and think the best thing you can do for your family is be healthy and fit. My main reason for joining MFP was so that I could stay…

I too can get dissapointed with my food intake, especially around TOM. You just need to accept the calories you ate, forgive yourself for making a crap decision to eat them and look at tomorrow as a new day. One bad day in the course of a week isn't horrendus. Plus, you likely gained back 3 lbs water weight due to TOM and…

I have tried 2 types. The Goody thin, stretchy headbands with the rubber grippy stuff that really stays put in your hair are awesome and don't slide backwards when you sweat. But, if you have issues with hair loss (as I did after giving birth to my youngest) you might not want to use these. I have also tried the plain…

Cardio, cardio, cardio, for flatter belly and the stepper or stairmaster for a bigger and more shapely hiney!

What about flavored soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk?

Welcome to MFP!! There are a lot of supportive people on here that have cheered me on along the way. I'm a mother of 3 sons and have daily battles with binge eating sweets when I feel stressed or upset. When my husband and I divorced last year I hit an all time low in my self esteem and an all time high in my weight. Now…

I'm a single working mom of 3 boys myself. I don't do P90 but I do Jillian Michaels and lots of cardio in the gym. Add me as a friend if you want.:happy:

I don't know of one but I would definitely join!

Yes, it takes about a week to 10 days for your body to understand what you are doing. You will start seeing the weight loss again after that and will feel much better along the way. Nicole

For your first go at making tofu I suggest tossing the extra firm version into a stir-fry with a bunch of veggies. Add a sauce like low sodium soy, rice wine viniger or teriyaki and put it over brown rice. Quick, easy and healthy. Nicole

Hi Maria, I'm from South Jersey, 33 and a divorced mom of 3 sons (ages 10, 4 and 2). Welcome to MFP!! This is a great site and app (if you have a smartphone) to keep you on track, eating healthy and excercising. Feel free to add me as a friend! My best advice is to start changing your eating habits and introducing an…

Hi Tara, Welcome to MFP! The community here is great and very supportive. If you have any pregnancy related questions dont hesitate to ask me. I am 33 and have 3 sons ages 2,4 and 10. Add me as a friend if you want :) Nicole

HI! I'm from South Jersey (Cherry Hill area), 33 and named Nicole as well :). I have 3 young sons. Add me as a friend.

I had the same problem. I started eating healthy 2 days after a full grocery store run. What I did was break up my "unhealthy "snacks and treats into respectable serving sized portions. Yes, I even did this with ice-cream (measuring out 1/2 cup portions and putting them into freezer ziplock bags. This will allow you to…

The Jillian Michaels tape "6 Weeks to 6 Pack Abs" has eliminated the pouch that I have had since the first of my three sons was born.

Welcome to MFP! If you've had 5 kids then you definitely have what it takes to be successful here. I have 3 sons myself :) You can add me as a friend if you want.

I went from bursting out of a 38DD to barely fitting into a 34D in 13 fun-filled weeks of cardio intervals. Happy to say that after 3 kids and now a 14lb weight loss, my girls are still in the upright position..LOL There is hope!

Fantastic!! BTW, you look WAY thinner then 168lbs.

TJ MAXX or Marshalls. They have designer cloths (work and casual) that look expensive but are reasonably priced. Cute workout stuff too!

I'd love a bubble butt as well and have been building my rear muscles by doing TaeKwondoe and Jillian Michaels DVDs. I am a size 4 and suffer from that same "skinny-fat" affliction that you speak of. Friend me if you want :)

Thank you for sharing! I'm going to make this for my family tomorrow night!

I have been fighting TaeKwonDo on and off for the past 20 years. I love it and there really is no better cardio.!!

I have the same issue, particularly with chocolate. Over the past 3 months I have almost cut it from my diet completely. I was still craving it for about 2 weeks after I "quit" cold turkey but then I no longer craved it much at all. Every now and again if I am PMS'ing I will drink a cup of Sugar Free hot (or cold)…

I also have a polar with chest strap- it's awesome. F7 is the model, I think. I got mine fairly cheap on Ebay and didn't really start loosing weight until I began using it.

Thank you to all who posted :) I am happy to report that after eating a bit lighter yesterday I am back on track!!

Hello, I had the same question so I asked a trainer at my gym. I cut my calories to 1200 a day and became hungrier due to burning about 450 calories daily (5 days a week). The trainer advised me to eat about half the calories that I burn. This way, my metabolism was still working at optimum level and I was feeling more…
