It took a few months, the main things for me: Never, ever be barefoot/in socks on floors, even around the house. I always have to wear shoes with inserts. Orthaheel Tide flip flops. I wear these all summer long. No joke. These are wonderful for PF. I did a few exercises I found online, but once the pain went away, it stays…

Oh yeah, I love JM! I haven't tried this workout yet, will check it out, thanks Zeppyb!

You look amazing! My BF as 30% when I joined the gym a few months ago, I think it has come down because my pants are fitting better, thankfully. I have never lifted heavy, and I actually own a copy of New Rules of Weightlifting but haven't had the courage to start reading it... I feel a little intimidated by heavy…

Oh, that is good to know. I was worried that squats/lunges would actually make my knees worse. I will keep doing them, thanks!

No, I haven't. Is this where I would squat with weights? Or use the machines at the gym? I don't strength train other than using hand weights. Can you or someone else point me in the direction of what strength training exercises I can do? Thanks!

gee, thanks for the incredibly helpful post

I'm 5'8, too! 3 months from now it will be beach season. I'm not a big beach person but I'm sure my family will be at the pool plenty. I'd love to be able to wear a bathing suit bottom that is not a skirt. I'm very hourglass shaped and all my extra weight goes right to my hips/thighs. If I can whittle those areas down and…

Exactly. If eaten once in awhile in moderation, I just make them the way that I like, which is with a little butter, good American cheese from the deli, whole wheat bread... yum! I don't want to eat a grilled cheese sprayed with Pam.

Oh yeah, I HATE Donald Trump, I wish he would go away. I also can't stand the entire Kardashian family.

Hahaha. That looks like me when I lift my toddler to put her in her car seat. What a douche.

Gwyneth Paltrow. Seems completely self absorbed and snobby.

Thank you so much for answering my questions, I really appreciate it! I will read the book :)

WOW, you look great! Can I ask how many minutes each of your workout sessions are? Also if you had to lose a larger amount of weight (like 15-20 pounds) would you do cardio then? Or still just skip all cardio and just lift? I really need to read this book. I realize these answers are probably in the book but if you have a…

bump so I can follow. I love eating these in restaurants but have no clue how to bake them.

Oh yes, if you need the support they have great underwire tops.

I guess it depends what body type you have. I have a very hourglass shaped body, so all my extra weight goes right to my hips and thighs. I hate my thighs~ so I could never wear anything high-cut. I typically wear a 2 piece, and the bottom piece is a skirt that covers my thighs a little.

YES!!!

Sounds to me that she is the one hurting your feelings. Sorry you have to put up with her negative attitude and congratulations on your weight loss!:happy:

You look fantastic! Congratulations!

What an @ss. Sorry you had to put up with that :(

Thanks guys, I"m going to pick it up :)

I don't like the way skim milk tastes.. it's so watery and the slight blue tint to it is weird. lol. I personally like 1% and occasionally 2% if that's all that's in the house. My kids drink whole and on rare occasion I've used that but I look at it like a treat.

posting so I can follow this thread

Agree. Something sound fishy with this story.

I would love some new mom friends on here. I have 3 children, my youngest is almost 3, and I also have a 6 and 8 year old. I'm a SAHM and trying to get back in shape. Any moms out there... feel free to add me!

I would get your Vit D level checked before taking supplements. I had mine checked and was very deficient. I started supplements and haven't felt the same fatigue. Problem is remembering to take it each day :)

This.

Feel free to add me as a friend, I know how you feel. I tried MFP in the past but fell off the wagon, I plan on sticking around this time :)
