I have a 1 1/2 yr old and stay at home. Feel free to add me! :smile:

Great job!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration!

Walking is a great exercise. Especially to those starting out and you don't need special equipment :-)

Thanks for all the input. There really are some nice moms in the group who enjoy hanging out with me. I guess I should just suck it up and ignore the one person as best as I can. It could very well be that she doesn't like me and considering how many nice girls there are in the group, one who doesn't like me shouldn't…

Niner...I wish there was a like button for your comment. I too have been exercising quite a bit and didnt lose weight the first few weeks. It took time for my body to get used to it and then I started losing weight. The scale really doesnt matter in the long run. If your clothes are fitting better, you know you are going…

I'm interested if there is still room :-)

Communication and compromise is important in a relationship, that is true. Rubbing it in someone's face because their marriage didn't work out is a terrible thing to do.

I'm almost 270 lbs and only 5'6". I shop at Lane bryant because their jeans fit my big ol booty. Their tops are a bit big on me so I have to try quite a few to find ones that fit me. I can't wait til I don't have to shop there but they have some good fashionable stuff. I am a stay at home mom so I wear yoga pants quite a…

I have a 13 month little girl and its the same situation. Daddy doesnt see her m-f because of work but she is a daddys girl. Its ok though because I know she loves me and cries for me if shes upset. Dont worry, your baby loves you!!!

Smarties?!? As in the chocolate equivalent of m&ms? I LOVE those things. My great aunt from England would bring them whenever she would visit the states. I can understand your temptation!! Go hubby for supporting you!!!

I had to lol at this...too funny but TRUE! I have a toddler who is close to walking/running! ;-)

Gryffindor all the way!!! Love me some Harry Potter!

I've been overweight for a while and the weight just kept creeping up through my 20's and early 30's. Then I got pregnant and luckily had no complications. I actually stayed the same weight through my pregnancy and when I had the baby ended up losing 25 lbs. I got to stay home with my baby and didn't watch what I ate and…

Add me! I have 100+ lbs to lose. I'm a SAHM and weigh more now than when I gave birth. Support is a great idea!

This is my go-to: 1 1/2 cups milk, soy, almond (you choose) 6 mango chunks, frozen 1 cup Kale Handful of spinach 1 drained can of pineapple chunks (reg size) 2 Tablespooons plain Greek yogurt 2 Tablespoons coconut oil Makes 2 servings. Use within 24 hours YUM!

I'm interested in joining :-)

Tomorrows a new day. Pick yourself back up and keep going! It's a journey and there's always going to be bumps on the road. It's great that you logged your food. That's difficult to do! Don't beat yourself up over one day...just don't make it 2,3,4,...etc. days. And weekends are really hard to deal with. I would suggest…

Make sure your calories in vs. out is on track. Track every calorie and drink lots of water to flush out sodium if you are retaining water. Also, if you work out that much ,make sure you eat some or all of your calories back...you don't want your body to go into starvation mode. Take each day one at a time and think of…

Welcome! One suggestion that I like is if you are a chocolate lover like me, only eat small pieces of dark chocolate to help you curb your cravings. Also, keep fresh fruit on hand! If I'm craving sweets I grab an apple and a large glass of water. That helps me feel full FAST! Also, if you don't have many calories, you can…

Good luck!

I live in Mira Mesa and they have a farmers market on Mira Mesa Blvd every tuesday. Right now they are not going on but the farmer's market will start back at the end of the month. I work up in Vista and I know a little hole in the wall market that is SOOO cheap but it's all the way up there. I stop off on the way home…

Don't give up just because you measure bigger....sooner or later you will end up losing weight and continuing on your journey you will have ups and downs. You just have to keep going! That's the secret to success because you won't be sucessful unless you keep with changing your lifestyle! Good luck!

I love Michelob ultra which is under 100 cals a beer but not sure exact calorie count. I like the taste as well!

I am a pear shape too! I have the big butt but right now I have the big stomach too! I can't wait till that goes away! As for helping to tone our "problem areas" (butt, hips, thighs) there are a few exercises to tone the muscle but the fat will only leave when it wants too. We have no control with what fat goes away first.…

hmmm....well I know the lemonade is sour without the syrup added so I think your safe with the lemonade. It's definately not calorie free but it's alot less. It's really up to you with what you want to do. I would probably look up calories for lemonade and use that.

I used to work at starbucks and I know the lemonade has sugar in it. I don't know how much though :( sorry

I make a homemade chicken noodle soup that is pretty easy. I just throw stuff in to taste. In a large pot add: 1 whole chicken cut up reduced sodium chicken broth- cover till 1-2 inches over the chicken Boil for about 45 min or until chicken is done. Take chicken out and turn off flame. Put chicken in a bowl and place in…

I hit a double whammie by first going to college then finding my husband. When I went to college I was around the 160 range. It was a little overweight but not by much for me. I started college and gained around 40 lbs throughout my college career. It took me 8 years to graduate. I worked fulltime while earning my degree…

I just made a sweet potato soup that was really good. It's quite simple. In a large pot add: 4 (14oz) reduced sodium chicken broth 5-6 sweet potatoes (diced) 1 medium yellow onion (diced) boil until tender. Blend soup until smooth. Add nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt to your liking.
