LOL...I'd say at least a bottle or two:) Good luck to you. I know all to well how much fun shopping with a load of kids is. I do log long shopping trips as slow walking. Not trips to the grocery store or anything, but the Christmas shopping from 8am-4pm I log.

My husband is a skinny little guy who practicall lives off of Nutty Bars, energy drinks, and diet Dr. Pepper-but never gains a pound. I don't care to have him hovering around when I exercise. I do like to go for walks with my 14yr old son however...gives us time to talk. (but walks REALLY fast and can keep going FOREVER so…

Amazing...you look incredible!

I prefer Fage...but I only like plain, vanilla or honey flavors and they are hard to fine around here so I tend to get Chobani more often. I really liked this brand called Greek Gods that was fig flavored-until I saw that it was like half the protien and twice the calories of any other kind-lol. I still buy it once in a…

I typically gain 4lbs before...during...after my period. I also get a horrible case of the munchies and have to really watch myself. It sucks.

Ok...I am a bit if a carb freak. Thanks for all of your responses. I will try to watch my carb intake and up my protien...

That is wonderful...you look amazing Helen.

I need the answer to this as well...When I have my period or am ovulating I am just snacking like mad! I don't even realize I'm doing it! It is just like a little handful of this, a bit of that...but it all adds up fast.

OUCH...LOL;)

I just got new shoes a month ago...I liked Mizzunos and Asics because I over-pronate and need the arch support. I went with asics and they are GREAT! I tried on every pair of shoes there I swear...The Rykia or what ever they are called were just not enough support for my feet. My old shoes were Adidas and they were fine…

Thanks for all of the tips. I have looked at the belts but they just seem awkward to me...maybe I'm wrong.

I have a love/hate relationship with running. Sometimes it takes a little nudging to get me out the door, but I feel so good when I get to that halfway point or when I run a little further or a little faster than I did the last time. I never in my life dreamed that I would be running 4miles without stopping when just last…

My thoughts exactly. I have never been a big soda drinker because it gives me a gut ache...but would drink fountain sodas while eating out because I like it better and since it's kinda watered down, it doesn't hurt my stomach as much. Now that I have been watching my weight I find that I actually drink MORE diet soda than…

My daughter and I neither one like milk and so we were on the search for a replacement. Skim milk was ok because it is not so "milky" tasting-but still don't like it. Soy milk was ok and I do buy it now and then. Almond milk was a keeper. I like the original almond milk on my cereal or just to drink or put in a…

I love cheese of all kinds...but I used to put cheese on and in everything and sometimes you couldn't even really taste it, it just added tons of calories. I now save my cheese to eat by itself or with crackers or maybe on a salad...where I know I will be able to taste and enjoy every bite. For ex...I would always get…

I've been wondering this as well. I was never a huge pb fan, but I have used it more since I have been trying to loose weight. I usually just buy regular old pb...like Jiff. Is all natural the best way to go and what brands are the best. I've never tried Almond or Cashew butter, are they a better option?

I know how that feels. My husband and I were living in diff. locations when I started this (long story) and I didn't say a word to anyone about trying to loose weight. It had been months and he finally said one day...have you lost a couple of pounds? I was like...Uh, yeah-a couple of pounds-add 50 on to that and you got it…

I like Turkey, avacado, red onion, baby spinach, and hummus. or I make a sandwich filling with tuna, chickpeas, red onion, dill pickle, celery, a touch of light ranch and some dijon mustard....mix that up and put in a wrap with baby spinach...or I also like to eat it on top of a pile of romaine lettuce or by itself with…

I was thinking the same thing. My fave flower is a white daisy...so I was thinking something with daisys and my 4 kids' names on my ankle or foot. How painful would a tat on your foot be? ;)

I drink way to much coffee and do not intend to stop anytime soon. For my regular wake up in the morning coffee...I usually drink Folgers classic roast or butternut brewed very strong. For my afternoon pot, I like to treat myself...Starbucks (a variety of kinds) or Kauai Hawaiian-the chocolate macadamia flavor is great!…

Mine aren't just headed south...I'm afraid that soon I will be tripping over them when I go for a run! The have shrunk. I may still be in a DD cup, but since they just lay in there like a couple of deflated water balloons it doesn't really matter. Between breastfeeding and loosing weight-my poor girls are in a bad way.:cry:

Fage is the best I have tried.

This is JUST what I needed! I was looking for something easy to throw in the crock pot and feed a crowd at my 2 boys' and my niece's birthday party on the 29th. I can't wait to try this out. I'll have to leave out the relish and serve on the side becuase my sister in law and cohost of this party is a pickle hater-lol...but…

It may already be in the system on MFP...most anything I look up has already been added my someone else. I went to Famous Daves last week and I just typed in Famous Daves and a whole slew of things were listed. Otherwise you can add it yourself or just use quick calories.

Nachos with the works and alcohol.

I've never met a veggie I didn't like. I serve salads with dinner most every night and have me a good helping of that to curb my appetite before digging into the main dish. I keep raw veggies cut up in a large ziplock in the fridge to snack on with hummus during the day and my kids down them like crazy too. I like to try…

4-5 lbs at least. Even if it is temporary...when you are happy about a weight loss and suddenly TOM visits and you gain it back +...it is just depressing.

Definately an issue I have had to deal with. My cheeks may have been a tad round, but my skin was smooth and flawless. Since I have lost weight, I have wrinkles and acne issues...:sad: .

Post honey nut shredded wheat-dry and lots of coffee...I am a post hn shredded wheat addict. The vanilla almond kind is good too.

My new favorite is savory oatmeal... 1/2 cup rolled oats 1 cup water or stock...and cook as directed Saute veggies in a nonstick pan (onion, bell pepper, mushrooms...) Stir veggies, 1T soy sauce, and a dash of sriracha hot sauce into prepared oatmeal Add a touch of shredded cheese and top with a fried or poached…
