  • Normally I eat on a 20/4 IF plan. I hate eating well I hate eating on a plan. The more often I eat the more I think about eating, hence the more I eat. It also leaves me craving more. If I have left over calories at the end of the day I treat myself as long as it's before 8:30. After 8:30 I can't seem to control the amount…
  • You have to go in under your settings and change it. I really hate the way that that set everybody up. Right down to my TDEE. It set me at 1200 a day and my BMR is higher than that. My BMR is 1500 a day so obviously 1200 is no where near enough. You will have to do the work to figure out what your body really needs. For me…

  • BF'ing is so great for babies!!!! It sucks butt for moms like me!!!! And it sounds like you too=( I breastfed all of my 4 kids for 12-24months and I personally didn't lose a pound until I weaned them! All of the baby weight just fell off when I did. Well except the last one I think that's my age. But be happy that you are…
  • You have to remember the less you weigh the less calories your body needs. So If you want to continue to lose that 2lbs a week I would suggest trying to fit in more exercise rather than less food.
  • Everybody is different, I like after. for whatever reason I am just not hungry after a workout, hence I eat way less. I also like that time to go food shopping. You don't want to ruin all that hard work wtih crap that you pick up there!
  • This is going to be the standard answer that you will hear. Instead of eating try taking a 5-10 minutes walk. It does help. Although personally when I am stressed I the last thing I think about is taking a walk. For me when I am truly stressed I can't eat, and I just have a couple of glasses of wine. Not that that is the…
  • You look amazing!!!!!!! You Go Girl!!!!!
  • Wow most men don't want to motor boat your rib cage!!!! Sweetie your normal. He isn't At 99 lbs you would have a bmi of 16 which is underweight I mean really underweight!!!!! Your BMI is closer to bottom end of healthy. Whatever your doing keep doing it!!!!
  • aeropostle makes some great curvy jeans.They run a bit big, and if you buy stuff online you can get it way cheap. like I was shocked to see the tags that said $69.99 and I paid $15 online price! I love aero!
  • Water coffee and tea are my daily drinks of choice
  • Most of us have been there. Don't beat yourself up about it otherwise you will end up toe up in a chocolate cake. Just get back on the wagon and think of it as a lesson learned.
  • It isn't my current weight loss that got me it I have had 4 kids since my original loss. But I just felt sorta outside of myself. Yes I could fit into a size 8 but I still felt like an 18. When I looked in the mirror I still felt like 180 even though I was 125. It didn't help how fast I lost the weight and I wasn't trying…
  • Ok so mine was last week. I made cupcakes. 3 batches of my HoHo cupcakes. Lovely whipped up white frosting in the middle and well I make them myself I can stuff them with twice as much frosting. Then I use the canned chocolate frosting. They are so pretty when they are done I see them and they call to me... One day I ate 6
  • That wouldn't be giving up. A cheat day once in a while is ok. If you do it just have 1 or 2 pieces and just 1 beer. Food is not your enemey. Just remember to do it thoughtfully. Really think about each bite. and you may find that it just doesn't taste as good as it used to.
  • Thanks it was a small battle in a big war. But it was a win
  • The biggest thing I did to curb my sweet tooth was cut out artifical sweeteners. It has helped a tun and cut my cravings in half. I don't remember ever drinking regular pop I just liked my diet coke. But I can honestly say that I haven't had any pop or artifical sweetners in about 2 weeks and it has helped a tun with the…
  • I am a blessed poor married mother of 6. I am blessed because I have a huge garden and yard. At the end of the summer I can and freeze everything. I spent the money to buy fruit trees and berry bushes. I grow all organic. Doing this has saved me $1000's for the couple of hundred I spent on the trees. I have 2 apple trees,…
  • I changed mine because not all sugars are created equal! I don't count sugars from fruit or veggies. Fruit juice yes, candies and baked good absolutly! Your get sugars from whole grains. I go with 50 grams a day. That way I don't have to beat myself up if I eat an apple and a banana in the same day!
  • I have 4 healthy weight children. That said I control everything they eat not that they don't get treats. It's more like you may have 2 cookies not 6 whole wheat bread not white pasta is a mix of veggie and whole wheat. No juice except once in a while on Saturday with pancakes. No pop or very little that is a treat not for…
  • Congratulations!!!!!!! That is awesome just keep it going you can do it!!!! I still have like 25 lbs before I get there I am just happey atm that I am no longer in the obese catagory.
  • My DH is helpful and a hindrance all at the same time! It has taken 10 years of marriage and watching me struggle with my weight since we have had kids too get it through to him that I don't like being fat. He wants to be helpful but he just doesn't know how. He is very active and never has a weigh issue. He is the same…
  • I started back in 2010 after my son was born. I actually gained weight after he was born and got to 204 in November of 2010 That is when I decided to do something about it. I have had many stops and starts in that timeBut I have managed to get to 165 over the last few years. I am now starting at the hardest part the last…
  • For me eating often is a recipe for disaster! A meal that doesn't fill me up sends me in to an eating frenzy so if I eat breakfast I am setting myself up for a day full of food and I can't control myself. I literally lose my mind food is all I can think about. I have an egg white omelete with light cheese spinach veggies…
  • Junk atm . I save may calories all day for that lovely cupcake! It's not healthy but I look at it this way if I worked out and I have met my targets for nutrients and it keeps me honest all day. So I have a yummy treat!
  • That's a tough one because of the way you lost it, it may come right back up. I would bring your calories back up to around 1500 and see where how your body reacts to that. When I say 1500 that is with eating back your exercise calories. If it's stable start going up 50 calories a week as so you can figure out what your…
  • First things first that is way to low for your calories your BMR is 1553.25. Your TDEE is 2399. If you do the -15% of your TDEE is would be 2039 calories a day that you should be getting. I sounds like you may be in starvation mode Try eating more I know it sounds really screwy but I was doing the same thing as you and I…
  • Well from what I can see you are not eating near enough! Your BMR is 1308 with a sedentary lifestyle and with your a activity level it is 1563 Your TDEE is 2056 and with a -15% TDEE you should be getting around 1748. So I would say you need to eat more for a couple of weeks with that activity level and then see where you…
  • At my biggest breastfeeding and 200lbs, I was wearing a 40F or 40DDD same thing. I now measure at a 36 D, Which is like 6 cup sizes when you figure in the change in my band! I am afraid of what is going to happen as I get rid of the next 30lbs. I never wanted the huge boobs I had I hated having them but the prospect of…
  • I have a huge hiney! And yes it will shirk but it may always be a bit bigger than you would like. I know mine is and even at 120lbs I still had mine. The bonus to this is that while we may not like it as women our men love it. Men do not like to snuggle up with a pile of bones!
