I know. I need more protein and the shakes seem to be the only way I can get enough, and I just have so much more energy when I get enough protein. Everyone I talked to suggests yogurt and cottage cheese.. and I can't eat those every day because I think they are both gross. I know a few dieticians that I could ask. I do…

Thanks!! I counted 500 so that I would eat extra to compensate.. no matter how many I actually burned. But, I'm having trouble even getting that high. She does eat solids, at meal times. She nurses 4-5 times a day. She really likes table food, so she is sort of weaning. I drink mother's milk tea and take fennugreek when I…

I like that. Light-hearted and light-minded :) Thanks for the apology :)

It's just so hard to make anything else in the mornings! I will try to flip-flop breakfast and dinner. 1800 calories sounds good -- I asked my OB and no one in the office had any idea how many calories I should eat. It's hard for me to get more calories than I do and still get enough protein. When I don't drink the shakes,…

New water bottle, new sports bra, new socks, new phone case, new wristlet, and I think my ultimate goal reward is going to be a canvas print of my wedding picture.

Brush your teeth after dinner and stay busy until bedtime. Go for a walk or read a book. The minty fresh feeling in your mouth from brushing your teeth will discourage you from snacking on candy...and staying busy will stop you from eating just because you're bored. We don't keep candy in the house for that exact reason.…

I'm 25 and I think I have an open diary!! Set up some rewards for yourself if you are having trouble getting started. I got myself a new water bottle after my first 5 pounds lost... it helped get me going.

I pinned something on pinterest recently that I think addresses some of this.. I'm looking for it. But, I would stick to light cardio for an energy burst, early in the morning. Some people have said that cardio helped with morning sickness, too. Pregnancy is a time to just embrace what's happening, and work on growing that…

Being social helps me feel better about changing my habits. it can be hard to find friends who struggling with weight loss, but I find it a lot easier to find friends who are training for something or trying to improve their fitness somehow. I joined a yoga class and found a local race to train for -- then I learned that…
