I'm 5'6" and 192 lbs right now. I started at 216 on 2/11/13 I used this link to calculate my TDEE and then subtracted 20%: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 It's been SPOT ON for me. Right now I can eat 1650 per day - that is my TDEE minus 20% The other thing that I…

Down 2.8 today, which is a BIG weekly loss for me. Feeling good!!! :)

I'm 35. I don't dig younger men but holy HELL do I like older men. 40-50. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me neither. at any gym...and i've belonged to 4 different ones...??

Congratulations! Your hard work is so inspiring and not only do you look great, you sound like you FEEL great! Way to go!

There are so many variables here, but know that it is VERY normal for your body to hold onto weight while you are BF'ing - it's the whole hormonal thing. Once you stop, the pounds will likely shed off :) I have a few friends where that's been the case. Hang in there!

Uhh yeah...no. Obviously you don't have thyroid disease. I read TCOYF and am pretty much an expert on the whole FAM. I used it successfully to avoid pregnancy for about 4 years. Then BAM, thyroid went wonky and I got pregnant with my first. Will not ever rely on that for BC ever again. Endo agrees.

I appreciate that!!!! :) :)

Just googled - I'm American, not Canadian where the recall is, so I think I'm ok

I don't know - which ones are those?

Jill: STRONG! :)

THRIFT STORES!!!! :)

SCORE 0-10 Congratulations! You have a good body image and an excellent self-esteem. As a result of this, you are at peace with yourself. The way you feel about your body has little impact on how you go about your daily life. This is how it should be. Perhaps you are aware of the pressures on people to be a certain shape…

I just started listening to the "Nelly" station on Pandora - all sorts of fun r&b/hip hop from early 2000's!!! The only issue is that it makes me want to "drop that *kitten* and shake what I got" right there on the treadmill! Wouldn't be very safe. I'm not that coordinated ;)

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look fantastic! I hit onederland this morning too!!! :) Yay for 199! ;)

Seriously? I can't imagine changing my tampon every time I pee!! I have a super super light flow, so I only change mine every 4-6 hours or so. Just leave it up in there! :)

You look beautiful! Your baby bump picture was stunning as well - there is NOTHING more beautiful than a glowing pregnant woman. Absolutely stunning. Never be ashamed of THAT body! :)

I've been doing this almost 5 weeks now. I will tell you that after a bout 3 weeks, you SO SO SO won't be hungry anymore. You just gotta get through it. I actually have a REALLY hard time eating my 1600 calories per day now and I used to pig out and probably eat 2500-3000 DAILY before this. I get full SO easily on way less…

ok...rabbit made me think of something TOTALLY different. I was like, "A new sex toy as a reward? umm....ok!?" LOL

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :smile:

I go to our local rec center and child care is included if you pay $10/month extra. It's great! My kids are 4 and 6, and love it! When they were babies (9 months and up) I used the local YMCA since they had infant rooms. Never had a problem!

PERFECTLY SAID!!! You are an inspiration! :)

The answers are yes and no. If your thyroid levels are NOT regulated/treated, then nothing under the sun will work for you. However, once your levels are at a good place, you should be able to lose weight normall! That's how I was diagnosed. WW did NOT work for me and I was like, "huh??" I was diagnosed Hashimoto's…

For ribs, the key is to NOT overcook them or they dry out. Just put your ribs in the crockpot, season them with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemerry Let them cook for 4 h ours on LOW. Brush with BBQ sauce all over and then cook for one more hour. If you do them more than 5 hours total, they will be…
