I wouldn't sweat it. I don't know a woman that doesn't have them that isn't a supermodel! Which includes my aunt that only weighs 90lbs and delivered her babies at my goal weight! I got the first of them on my boobs when I was 12-13. If you are losing weight these aren't new marks but old ones that you are just noticing.…

I am 5'3" and my goal is 125 but I would be happy with 140 after having 4 kids and being 36 years old!

I know how you feel. I have had a tun of big changes in my life in the last year. After having 4 kids I was up to 204 and I worked really hard to start getting all that baby weight off. I was down 45 lbs as of last July. Then the changes in my life started hitting. I just let everything slide, and without realizing it I…

I have but from what I heard the stuff tastes awful. That said I have never tried it

That sounds so good I am going to try it to night for dessert!!!!

So glad that, that works for you.If I eat breakfast I am hungry all day. Hunger I can deal with but the cravings... Whoa buddy thoses take me down every time. Breakfast doesn't work for everybody.

I have a family of 8 I have a huge garden fruit trees and berry bushes galore. I grow corn tomatoes beans squashes pumpkins, zucchini, peas carrots beets lettuce, cucumbers and peppers 10 kinds of berries apples and cherries. I can and freeze everything I am able to. I can't afford to eat out more than once every couple of…

This easy I love me some Jimmy Johns!!!!!! I truly don't care about the calories when I go because I don't go out anywhere very often. So when I do I want to enjoy it and so for me there is no choice. You can get healthier options there and they taste amazing!!!!!

Wow that just made my brain hurt.....

it's 2oz dry weight. rule of thumb with pasta is about the size of a light bulb is a serving.

I would say yes that's a binge. I don't ever go into a binge not knowing that I am eatting this stuff. What I lack is the ablity to stop after a bit or 2. I will eat crap until I hurt before I realize that my taste turned into a quart of ice cream with hot fudge and whipped cream on it. That said is it the end of the world…

Ok I need that laugh I just read the whole thread!!!!!

On nights like that I will have a boneless skinless chicken thigh or 2 with green beans and about a teaspoon of bacon bits in the beans for extra flavor. I make a pouch with tin foil add about a tablespoon of olive oil and a bit of season salt toss them in the oven for about 30 minutes or until they are at least 165…

Wow that is pretty sad! When the weather is good I am always outside in my garden mowing my lawn and walking my dogs. I live in Minnesota so in the winter I am pretty much stuck in the house for the hole winter! So when the good weather hits everybody here is outside walking, working in there yards or just hanging out…

i have had 4 c/s and this isn't going to make you happy. Basically you need a tummy tuck with the internal girdle(sp?) I did really well getting the weight off after c/s 1 and 2 but after #3 the sag set in and then number 4 and well the more I lose the worse it gets. I literally can't do ab workouts all of the scar tissue…

I so love yoga pants just buy them you will end up living in them!!!!! so comfy!

Well I would like to say a bikini, but not without surgery after 4 kids! So right now I will settle for the pair of size 6 jeans that I have hanging on my closest door that I haven't been able to fit into since 2006!

I will make this short I saw a picture of myself at my youngest's first birthday party and all could think was fluffalump! So I go on the scale and I realized that was 204lbs and I weighed more than my husband. Ya that was just the kick in the *kitten* I needed. 34 down and 36 to go. I will not give up...

Agreed!!!!

who care what you weigh if it's all muscle then you will look great and be in good health!

Ok so I am confused your telling us that your family is telling you that just because you have had a baby that you will never weigh what you did before having babies??? Cause that's dumb! You certainly can. Baby weight is really freaky with how that stuff just hangs on!!! But with a bit of extra work you certainly can do…

Sweating isn't much of an issue for me. I barely sweat at all. No matter what I do I have to have a spray bottle with water to keep my head form exploding! I think that's one of the reasons I hate working out so very much LOL=] After mowing the lawn today I had to stick my head in a cold shower and it was only 85 today.

I think some people got the wrong idea here. In my normal daily movement today I mowed my lawn. I have an acre and I did it with a push mower. Before that I spent 2 hours in the garden weeding planting and turning over new ground. I walked each one of my dogs for 30 minutes that's an hour. I spent another few hours…

Poop!!!!! it's fiber for Pete's sake! I don't know about you but the last time I checked I get cleansed 24/7. My liver can do it all by itself. All I have to say about this is slimfast and metamucil is cheaper. Just sayin....

Well besides the fact that what your father said was totally awful. You have to remember 1 bad meal is not a lifetime. I had something similar happen to me when I was 15 and I never ate at another family meal again.That's not to say that I didn't eat. Here is the hard part. You and only you can and have to pick yourself up…

I am about 9-10 days in and I have lost a pound in the first couple of days and now as of this morning I have put on 2lbs. So I'm not sure what to do. I am going to stay the course for another week and then I am going to rework it all again.

Is it a recent quick gain like maube that time of the month bloating or your sodium intake?

Wow will power really??? You think it's that easy??? I am a 36 year old mother of 4 with 2 adult step sons and a husband. So getting the junk out of the house is impossible. I am the only person in the house with a weight issue and that is from having 4 kids. I felt like I had just climbed a mountain I was so proud of…

It's also good when we have to opportunity to go in the truck with them! I am loving the MFP app on my phone!!! That barcode thing is a lifesaver!

*Raises hand quiltily* I am right where you are, except I have had to come to grips with the fact that I needed to eat more. I do the same thing every time. I eat 1200-1300 calories everyday and then I stall out right when I get to 165lbs and then I bounce back up to 170-175. That 165lbs it my weightloss half way point to…
