Eat a combination of healthy foods and your yummy snacks...just eat more of the healthy foods and always log everything you eat!! Deprivation does lead to bingeing so I basically eat what I want snackwise, I just make sure that I have the veggies too! Eat the way that you intend to eat for the rest of your life!

GW: 152.0 SW: 158.6 Oct. 7th 156.4 yay! Off to a good start, gotta keep it up!:happy:

Hi there, when I saw your topic, my mind immediately went all the way back to "The Electric Company", talk about corny, lol. I was also diagnosed with severe vitamin d deficiency, have taken megadoses(50,000 units) and am now on an over the counter supplement - 2000 units as I have been experiencing some 'bone' problems…

First off, I must give you KUDOS for being a DEDICATED single dad:flowerforyou: ...rare gem you are, and I didn't read all the posts on this thread but I'm sure a lot of advice came mostly from women, lol. I'm not single but stay at home with my kids every day(home schooling) so it really is hard when housework is there…

Sometimes I push thru it and sometimes I go for the freaking burger, lol...as long as you're working out you should be okay and try not to deprive yourself for a long time...leads to major cravings...good luck!!

Nice and thanks...I don't usually do dead lifts but at the end of my circuit routine I usually do 3 cleans while sucking in the gut as much as possible and taking deep breaths at the same time...I forgot what this is actually called but it really works the abs as well as everything else!! Good going and congrats on the…

GW-Oct.29,-152.0 SW-Oct. 4,-158.6 Oct.7th- Oct.14th- Oct.21st- Oct28th- Weekly challenge-starting today, Oct.4th Let's rock it out y'all!!!

I agree with the others...I've been having a problem with my weight loss and I know that it is due to being stressed out and the fact that I am an insomniac certainly does not help...I'm trying my best to adjust to my new schedule at home(schooling kids at home) along with the other normal stresses of life - housework,…

I'm the exact same way and it doesn't help being an insomniac...I'm usually up at night and once 11pm rolls around I become freaking ravenous!!:noway: I hate lying in bed trying to force myself to sleep because it doesn't work and by the time I finally do doze off - it's time for me to get up and get started on my…

Nickname: I have 2, Pumpkin, and Charlee age:40 fav color: various shades of green single/taken taken kids: 3 something interesting about u: I am just a tad OCDish although never been diagnosed, I can remember things from my childhood well BEFORE the age of 2, I pick stuff up with my feet/toes too, yay!

My fat moment is the fact that 2 years after giving birth, the only clothing that fits me at least half-way right are my MATERNITY CLOTHES!!!!:noway: :grumble: :explode: :angry: (((sigh)))...but I'm working on it...:smile:

I would...I'm a home schooling mom with a 10, 4, and 2year old. I stay on my feet practically ALL day long trying to keep up with the youngest:yawn: , teach the 4yr old:grumble: , help out with the 10yr old who is a little more independent now with her work,:wink: while at the same time washing, cleaning, and…

178 when I had my last child, went down to 156 a year later, and back up to :grumble: 171 just before I came here and down to 156 since...:huh: all of that chaos on a 5'2 frame...actually I added a half inch to the height,:ohwell:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Thanks!!!

...don't know exactly what dear squats are, but they're squats nontheless, I hate them(although they work), and loathe burpees, and mountain climbers(they make the acid reflux flare up), but during strength training, I don't mind the regular squats or lunges while lifting light hand weights - for a certain amount or…

30 Day shred is good but for some reason I got bored with it after 10 days...check out exercisetv on demand or on the internet...look for a video called 'celebrity shred'...can't think of the trainer's name but it's a really good cardio?strength workout...good luck!:smile:

Where have you been all of my mfp life??? I am SO just like that with the cheese and all(meaning meat, bread, etc)! I started out great for the first few months but lately I'm as hungry as a freaking bear but I have maintained my sense of humor so KUDOS to you for that...it'll keep you going when times are hard and even if…

You're right...I just log my strength training(strenuous) under the general entry because it is rather tedious to list every move under the actual 'strength training' title...sometimes I can't even remember every move but I'm sure that I'm burning more than the general entry gives...I'll be looking forward to your next…

Kids are the best, ans so are good mommies!!:flowerforyou:

Sorry for missing last week - now I'm at 156.4...down a little just not enough!

Only did 2 miles this week but lost a plateau pound so not too bad! Still gotta get back on the walks tho!!

Great mindset girl, work it!!:wink:

Nice post!

I SO love this thread - KUDOS!!!:heart:

I log this under circuit training: 30 jumping jacks 20 push-ups 20 overhead presses repeat all 40 step ups 20 bicep curls 20 tricep curls repeat all 10 crunches with hand weight 10 oblique crunches with weight 10 bicycle crunches 10 suitcase crunches 30 jumping jacks I think this is about 37 minutes:smile:

Not from the middle but I am from Memphis, yay! Feel free to add me if you like...I'm in no way perfect at this and sometimes I have crappy days that I really really enjoy lol, but my mind is made up to do this no matter how long it takes and if your mind is made up too, you can do this!!:wink:

Forgot to put up my weight and goal... SW - 156.4 Goal - 8 miles Let's rock the walk y'all, woohoo!!!

I'm in Jess! Got my first 2 miles done today!!:wink:

I do mostly stationary bike...somehow it helps with the cramps but tonight I just did some low impact aerobics too...if you can get started you'll feel a lot better when you're done with the workout...hope that helps - rock it out!!

Agreed, some ppl just take things the wrong way but sometimes there's no other way to take it when someone is just flat out being rude or nasty which is not necessary. I'm sure everyone on each side could lighten up a bit but some are just not willing...I still enjoy lurking though, good way to pass the time.
