Have a new goal not necessary is shedding the weight. I think building up muscle (heavy weight lifting) will help you recompose your body shape and will look better. Keep up with the good work

Don't give up completely, have one while you are out for a nice dinner, or in the movie (not 2). But try not to drink regularly, like daily. Pop is not only bad for your waistline, it also have other healthy hazard. Such as drinking a lot will strip calcium off your bone (nasty...). And when your body cannot handle the…

First of all, DO NOT try to lose weight while you are pregnant, it's bad for both you and the baby. 1st trimester - Set your goal to maintenance 2nd trimester - increase about 200 3nd trimester - increase about 300 breastfeeding - increase to about 500 Keep workout is great! Listen to your body while workout, if you are…

Glad that you have a taste for fruits now! Yes, they are so delicious!

Swimming

Great job! Just curious, is it your final goal weight? Or are you consider readjust a new goal?

Hi ladies, good to see everyone doing well. I'll have a regular checkup appointment this Friday, and first trimester screening next Wed. This would be my first time doing the screening (last pregnancy I didn't), a bit nervous. Anyone else has done it or is going to have the screening? Today's weather is much cooler, I've…

Do it, it is not that late

EAT your exercises calories! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ladyhawk00/view/mfp-basics-78491 http://shouldieatmyexercisecalories.com/index2.html (find bunch of links here to read, please)

Hell yeah! You look absolutely amazing!!! Congrats!

Raw diet NOT necessary equal to vegetarian. Here is the definition (according to wiki): - Raw foodism (or rawism) is the practice of consuming uncooked, unprocessed, and often organic foods as a large percentage of the diet. You can be: * Raw veganism * Raw vegetarianism * Raw animal food diets Read more about it on wiki:…

Absolute agree!

Here is an article for you: "Is it safe to eat soft cheese during pregnancy?" http://www.babycenter.com/404_is-it-safe-to-eat-soft-cheese-during-pregnancy_3175.bc

Mine is right HERE (MFP)!

I'm naturally a petite size 2-4 (before having my baby weight), not because I "aim" for super thin, but I'm only 5'3" and have really small frame. When I'm close to size 6, I'm over weight. So, it's real for some people to have a smaller size but still super healthy! Remember, it's all about yourself, whatever you feel…

I'm in rush most of the time, so I will have toast, instant oatmeal, bagel, cereal. I also cook some hard boiled eggs, which is very easy to grab one if I need and eat it. When I go shopping for my typical breakfast, I read labels/ingredients. Making sure I pick: * high fiber, high protein cereal * whole grain * natural or…

Too much work to do that, so I eat the whole thing instead, plus you got fiber when you eat the whole thing, like apple with skin...

Depends if you are using the MFP to set your goal or doing a customer setting... Seriously read the following to help you understand how MFP works, and the other one talked about 2 different methods (I call it "MFP" method or "typical trainer's method"): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ladyhawk00/view/mfp-basics-78491…

Try: Ice cream --> Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt bar Chips --> Food Should Taste Good brand Candy --> dark chocolate

If you find it's annoying and do not wish anyone comment on your diary, either close it, or do not hit the "completed" button. Just my 2 cents

Interesting book. I'm a carb lover too! I will be interested reading it. I agree with you on this is not about looking for any specific diet. My nutritionist / gym trainer told me to read different diet out there to --> get some idea what's they are all about, there is always something to learn.

THIS!!!

Try google with "exercises with back pain", or something similar. Also consult your doctor

Also beans

The way you lose weight should be more careful and different than many younger people here. A great reading "Senior Weight Loss": http://www.livestrong.com/article/244694-senior-weight-loss/

Well, process food is just not good for you. When we get to older age, we won't be able to eat as much and the best way to keep healthy is that every bit you eat should be nutritious food. To enjoy a healthier weight lose and lifestyle, try: * eat whole food * enjoy more fruit and vegetable * eat lean protein * portion…

* treat yourself once awhile * have a meal (like once a week) that you eat whatever you like (I'll still watch portion size, otherwise I feel too stuffed and got very uncomfortable). * reward yourself something for reaching a mini-goal (I don't have it but many people here set mini-goals) * enjoy the healthy food because…
