'My 10 Things: 1. Fitting into Jeans that I stopped fitting pre-baby!! 2. The confidence I feel wherever I go. 3. Knowing I will be comfortable in a bathing suit this Summer and the fact that my bathing suit from last year is too big! 4. All the positive mental and physical energy I now have. 5. Actually wanting to buy…

I'll friend you too! :)

You are not alone!!! I have NEVER been able to, I actually remember being in PE as a child frusturated because I couldn't do it. Like you I work out 5-6 times a week. I talked to the health director at my gym and he said not to worry about it. He said it is totally fine to hook your feet under something or have someone…

Sounds SO good! I am going to have to try this out. Thanks for posting!

I am the same! In fact I just made myself eat an apple and cheese stick so that I would make it over 1200 calories. You need to eat at least 1200 so that your body doesn't go into starvation mode. Try yogurt or a smoothie as a way to boost your calories without feeling overly full.

I dont like to go over 1200 if I don't work out or 1500 if I do, some days I have to make an effort to ensure that I am getting at least 1200 calories. You have to eat!!! I understand because I am in the same boat and totally hung up on it now too, but being healthy means eating healthy and eating healthy means at least…

I felt hungry all the time for the first week or so until my body adjusted. Now I have to actually make sure I am eating enought calories. Also, if you are only trying to lose five pounds than set your diet to maintain. Between maintaing a set amount of calories and consistently working out you should lose the five pounds…

How about Kashi bars?

I agree! I also love eating my extra calories :)

I am keeping some of my larger pants only because I plan to have another baby and realistically I won't be back down to size right away but I'll need something to wear besides maternity clothes and sweats! lol After the next baby though, they are all going because I am done with the weight and don't plan on getting…

PS I also have a station on Pandora named after the band Owl City that plays a nice mix for a lower impact workout.

Pink & BEP's are my favorites to work out to! I need music with a beat.

I'm usually over on protein too but I don't think you should worry to much, better to be over on protein than on fat! Are you working out? Extra protein is great when you are working out.

I love this workout but it totally killed my knees :( My advice, don't do the knee circles!! I would only use this for a day I can't make it to the gym just because of my knee issues but overall its the best 20min workout ever!

Hi! I am in this for the long term as well. I am loving the changes I am seeing in my body and how I feel about myself. This website has been SO helpful!!! I'll add you as a friend so we can help eachother along.!!
