We're an awesome team like that - seriously the best women ever are on the orange team - I love these girls! I can't wait to see where we stand this week!

:flowerforyou: that was lovely I have dealt with a dangerous drug and alcohol addiction and am 8 years sober, I thought I had this food thing under control at one point but then I realized I was micromanaging my food to an extreme and causing a ton of anxiety for myself. I remember clearly the days where I could NOT…

BMR = calories your body should burn in a day. This changes everytime your weight changes goal - calories to eat to lose xpounds per week. This changes when your weight changes to keep up with your shift in BRM. BMR is slightly higher than your goal calories to ensure you lose weight even if you do nothing other than stay…

you've lost your mind if you still see fat rolls! You look incredible!

sounds like you're a pear shape :) not weird at all

It sounds like you need to expand on your foods, chicken veg, fruits and greek yogurt will get you so bored that you might fail. Switch things up, add some different foods, try new spices and recipes, just keep it tasting great and you'll have success. You didn't get big by not liking food, so you won't get small that way…

*one very helpful hint coming* If you decide to get a baby carrier so you can wear your baby while you work out, please don't use a bjorn. They offer VERY little support and they position baby's hips in a very unhelpful position (legs dangling, its much better for baby to have a wider seat that forces baby's legs to sort…

are you nursing? Nursing uses 300-500 calories a day so if you are, add those into your allotment. Having too little calories will exhaust you! have you looked into Stroller Strides? Its a workout group that meets weekly and all the exercises are meant to be done WITH your baby or with baby in the stroller. Speaking of…

Look at all the advice you've been given in your dieting - figure out what you follow and what you don't. If you don't follow advice because its dangerous then don't follow still, if you don't follow because it makes NO sense then try to see their side, if you don't follow because it sounds like it should make you gain…

one midsized microwave down, an average man to go!

orange team is in the lead!!!! WOO!

boobs are not just fat. boobs are made of a granual tissue called mammory tissue. they're also full of milk ducts. There IS fat in the breast, but they are SO much more than that! In my experience, I've remained proportionate - my boobs are big for my size when I'm fat, they're big for my size when I'm not fat. My mom has…

Greek Gods has a pomegranet and a honey that are amazing. The pom one is pink too <3 its sooo good, about $1/6oz and I believe its a 0%, most are 0% or 2%, twice the protien of the regular stuff = twice the fullness, and more active cultures. Greek yogurt is just made of win.

I'm curious about them because have surgical scars on my back that make wearing jeans impossible - it hurts like crazy - so something soft that still looks like jeans would be heaven (and not lazy btw - but nice judgement and generalization)

sometimes those slip ups will boost up your metabolism and help you lose a bit more that week. Not saying you should slip up more or anything lol but when you keep your metabolism guessing it tends to give a temporary ramp up :)

how much do you have to lose and what are you setting your goals at? If you have 20lbs to lose and have your goals set at 2lbs a week you're probably not being realistic and would need to change your goals to .5-1lb a week to actually lose your target

Amen sister! I have 71 days in and 35lbs gone :) like most lifestyle programs, it works if you work it!

lol I TOTALLY get what you mean!!! I wore size 11 before my spinal injury so that means with my leg braces I need a 12-13WW. Drag stores have GREAT selections on dressy shoes and sandals, but not so much on flats or athletic shoes

btw - holy crap I lost 6lbs since last week?!?!?!?! I'm flabergasted.

I'm glad everything is back on track - offer still stands if you find that this is too much for you, k?

So you must work with my mother! Seriously - worst food police EVER!!! She's been on some sort of diet or another since I was born - even the infamous cabbage soup diet that stinks up the whole house. Hell she and the pedi put me on my first diet at 6. 20 years later I'm STILL FAT! and still having my every bite analyzed…

my blood sugar has been really wacky since my pregnancy with my daughter (so 3 years) so I eat a luna bar before I get out of bed as breakfast in the morning. By the time I'm done eating it, the sugar impact has hit my system and I can get up without feeling like I'll puke (or actually doing it). I just got into them about…

I beleive that you are born with a certain number of fat cells - all of us with roughly the same number - and they can multiply as we grow BUT they can not be gotten rid of, only depleted, unless you use liposuction.

I think you owe your wife a huge "thank you" for saving your quality of life before you completely lost it. You look great, amazing difference! Those 34lbs will be gone soon and you'll be maintaining easily because you haven't cut anything out of your life! Be very proud and give yourself a huge pat on the back :) you're…

I'm exactly the same!! I nursed my daughter until she was 20m old and I weaned so I could do some stronger treatments for my spinal condition. I was SOOOO hungry when I nursed her! I was also super stressed (her dad left the day she turned a month old). She'll be 3 on May 29 and I JUST got motivated to lose weight in…

I started out at 405 and I'm at 376 right now :) still 200 to lose but this site is helping a ton - very motivational and inspirational! I've been here just over 60 days and I've lost 29lbs - not too shabby! I like that I'm not dropping 8lbs a week or something crazy!! I wanted to lose 2lbs a week but some weeks have been…

If portions are a problem them you have all the control in the world :) To discourage 2nds, I keep ALL the food in the kitchen. The only things at the table are place settings with the appropriate servings on them and salt and pepper. Even the salt and pepper is not free reign because my kids are 2 and 7 lol they'd have…

Just remember, there's NO need to binge today because if you go on a diet tomorrow you don't need to deny yourself of your favorite foods! There's no good reason to kick a certain food out of your life - you'll feel deprived and then you'll binge. Now, you may find that those foods naturally push themselves out of your…

I felt the same way, when I lost the first 10lbs the system took me from 2640 down to 2420 and I felt it was still too much so I put myself on a very manageable 2000 because I felt so guilty not making my goal on calories! When I lost the next 10lbs the system would have put me at 2110 but I kept it at the 2000 and plan to…

thats something worth calling and verifying, the 2 Sam's clubs by my houses don't carry ipods, iphones, ipads, macs - nothing apple. When I got my last phone (Sam's has much lower prices than the AT&T store) I got to hear my poor sales guy being screamed at (literally) by a girl who wanted an ipad and said she was PROMISED…
