Welcome back! You should be proud of yourself for getting back to it after your pregnancy. And you should also be proud of yourself for sacrificing your vanity and control over your weight for the health of your child. You sound like a great mom! Anyway, I know how it feels to lose and gain and lose and gain again. That…

Your dilemma is a common one. However, I think you've already answered your own question. The obvious answer is that you need a moderate balance of both Cardio and Strength training. Cardio, in addition to burning calories and working large muscles (like your legs), is most effective at improving your cardiovascular…

I have the fitbit one and I LOVE it. Its so accurate and the interactive website is amazing for setting goals, competing with friends, and keeping track of your progress. Now that I've had mine and been using it for so long, I seriously can't believe that I only paid $100 for it. It is a priceless tool and it will…

^^^ Amen.

I get everything I need with 900 - 1000 calories a day. It all depends on WHAT you're eating. A 1200 calorie day could be a bowl of cereal, a sandwich, pasta, and a candy bar. OR a 1200 calorie day could be yogurt, a granola bar, crackers, string cheese, a huge salad, a bowl of soup, a banana, carrots, haddock, green…

^ This. Haha. Lady, if you want to lose weight, you have to track the calories that go into your body and track the calories that you burn. Its simple science. You're looking for us to give you a solution that defies science and it just doesn't exist. Count your calories, work out, and you'll lose weight. Then, when you…

That's why there is a Recipe option... You add all the ingredients that you used (even the cooking spray, the oil, the garlic, the broth, etc...) and it calculates the total calories for you and, depending on the number of servings you put for the recipe, it tells you exactly how many calories are in each serving. And…

The first thing you need to realize is that you're already doing the right thing just by realizing that you have a problem and wanting to take control. It is the absolute WORST feeling in the world to wake up every morning and hate what you see in the mirror and feel completely out of control of your own body and your own…

So glad you asked this question because I wonder all the time! Lol. For me, my boobs are always the first thing to go! So annoying! As soon as I lose like 5 pounds, my boobs shrink haha. I started at 150 with a 36 B and now I'm at 136 with a 34 A.

I can see why you are confused and you're right, there will always be several different sources of information that conflict, etc. The most important thing to remember is that a pound of weight is 3500 calories. So, if you cut out 500 calories a day, for 7 days, you'll lost a pound. However, you don't necessarily have to…

I'm a vegetarian too! I feel like calories would be way harder to control if I had to consider meat too. So glad I went veg, I'll never go back!

Yummy! Bump for later!

There is nothing wrong with Iced Tea, but if you're talking about a McDonald's sweet tea, they are PACKED with sugar and calories. Instead of feeling like you have to give up things that you enjoyed before (like tea), you should try to find healthy substitutions for them. For example, if you used to buy sweet tea everyday…
