I have two kids as well. I had my boys about 21 months apart, so my body never really had much time to go back to normal before getting pregnant with the second! Now I have about 40 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me as a friend and we'll support each other along the way! Good luck!

I would love to know of a good one as well! I have used one from Hungry Girl that's tasty and good for you, but it is "seedy" as you said. I'd almost like it to "feel" like a milkshake so I would trick my brain into thinking it's a nice treat!

I have heard nothing but good things about it and am hoping to buy it sometime this coming week to supplement the three classes of Zumba I take each week.

Get your frustrations out with a good, sweaty workout. It helps relieve stress and then puts more calories back into your "pool" for the day so you can have another 100 calorie snack pack! LOL I feel for you with all of your frustrations....emotional eater, stress getting the best of me, barely seeing hubby, working out…

That's awesome that you are looking forward to week 2! You can do this and after the 4 weeks you'll see the great accomplishments you've made and want to keep up on your own before your next bootcamp starts. I've found a love for Zumba recently and found a discounted class schedule through our local community ed program so…

yeah, that southern cooking is BAD, BAD I tell you (even though it looks so good!). BAD! lol

I did the treadmill and not only was it boring, but I found I had to be on it for at least an hour and then the amount of calories I would burn just wasn't satisfying for the hard work I was doing. I started taking Zumba in the Fall as a friend of mine started teaching it. It's a little rough to start as learning the steps…

I always keep my glass filled while around the house and when running my kids around to preschool and such I make sure I fill up my sports bottle for on the go drinking. Last night I forgot to bring it and I was under my 8 cups. I tried to suck down 4 cups before bed, but then was up at 3am to pee! lol Also, I find water…

Welcome Jennifer! I'm new here as of Wednesday. The support so far has been great! Feel free to add me as a friend. I have SO much to learn as well and need to understand making better food choices and what I need to put in my body when exercising to replenish, etc. There is so much to learn and without the support of…

I feel for you girl! I signed up on Wednesday when my friend sent me the site. I was out running my son to preschool, waiting to pick him up so I signed up on my phone and entered my weight (or what I last THOUGHT my weight was). Well, I came home and weighed myself....just about fell over because I was eight pounds…

Hi Susan! I am new as of Wednesday! I am also a big snacker, emotional eater and come evening time (especially late at night) I just want to feed my face! It's going to be a long, hard journey, but I will get there! The support on here has been great so far. Feel free to add me as a friend and we'll try to talk each other…

I found that weighing myself every day was BAD for my motivation. My weight will fluctuate depending on water weight and when I see that it's gone up a little bit, I get frustrated with myself and being an emotional eater, that's not a good idea! It kills me to not know how I'm doing, but I have to use the will power to…

Hungry Girl is great because it is for 1 or 2. Also, trying cooking just some of the time...what a great new thing to add to your new lifestyle and you just might enjoy it! If you find a great recipe that's for four, just cut it in half. Or, while you're standing there cooking already, make it for 4, but after cooking it,…

I just joined the other day & my husband just joined today...welcome Stephanie! Good luck!

Hi Louise! I had two kids close together as well, but last child was born 5 years ago! <gasp> I just joined the other day and love the support on here...everyone is wonderful! Add me as a friend if you'd like and we'll do this together! ;) Good luck!

I am so in love with Zumba!!! I started doing it a few months ago and while it's difficult to learn the steps at first (don't give up after one or two sessions), you'll crave it afterwards. It's not like a workout, it's like you're on the dance floor just moving around...it's fun! I have done the treadmill thing, but got…

Water is boring for me and I could never get in the 8 glasses a day until I started drinking Crystal Light. I love the peach tea and the decaf lemon tea. They have so much flavor and are only 5 calories (I believe) a serving. I highly recommend trying it! Also, when you started did you take measurements of neck, stomach,…

I have been off and on that same wagon for 5 years! I just joined here yesterday and the support I have seen so far is beyond fabulous! Feel free to add me as a friend and we'll support each other along the way... Even though it's hard to do most times, look at smaller goals for yourself. Maybe write down something you…

Newbie question - what the heck is pirate's booty? lol Thanks!

Add me as well if you want. I just joined yesterday and love the support so far! It's great to feel such a warm, welcoming network of others struggling with the same issues! ;) Good luck to you!
