Hi!! Welcome!! I gained and lost 3Xs with each of my kiddos! up over 210 with each one:( Happy to report I am going on 2years, 80 pounds gone!! You got this. Friend me if you need some mojo!!

I disconnected my new blaze and reconnected as you suggest above, recording exercise with the blaze and manually entering food in MFP and I am not seeing them sync up with the info in either app...? Not sure if i am doing something wrong? Can you make any other suggestions?

Congratulations!! Still so brand new, are you getting any sleep?

wow, you have a lot on your plate too. nutrition is 80% of the equation so if you can eat within your goals you will be golden, then exercise is just a bonus. plus will help you keep your energy up when its balanced.

thats awesome! how bittersweet!

its taken me a REALLY long time to find that balance too. Working from home I have to keep checking the clock because its my goal to be all done with what i need to get done when that bus pulls up. trying to be focused on them once they walk in the door. If i leave anything unfinished, my mind is wandering again all night…

aw, thats bittersweet, I am coming into that time myself. my oldest did say the other day he wished i would snuggle him like the 5yo, LOL I guess I just kinda figured he was too old for snuggles.

I hear you, I am so much more prepared now that I am home too. When i was on the road it was fast food or no food, sometimes eating out of my lap while driving. Its hard to prep for the whole week when you are out of the house for so many hours.

I completely agree with you Chef_Barbell, It was certainly hard work and I did a lot of damage to myself during my pregnancies becasue i didnt know any better, license to eat and i did. lesson learned and if i had to go back and do it over i would have such a different result. but bottom line is that you dont have to just…

ditto here, better now than ever even in my 40s i look better than in my 20s. 3 kids later too.

Even Shaun T eats peanut m&ms and other treats;) I plan a splurge meal once a week. its just a night off from counting, weighing etc. then I am right back to it the next meal... in theory;)

Im 42 and have 3 kids, 10, 8 and 5 and EVERYONE is going to be in school this year ALL DAY!! Woo hoo!! Hurry up Tuesday;)

Ive worked out at home for over 12 years now and LOVE IT!! Ive always just done Beachbody programs, started back in the day with P90X and have gone through almost all of their programs from there. lost 80 pounds since kid #3 and now Im strength training, using the containers to count macros and doing Hammer & Chisel! LOVE…

I love hearing everyone's stories, its def hard to get started, stay motivated and reach those goals, but with the help of the others cheering you on, you can def get there! Im down 80 pounds after my 3rd child and it wasnt always easy but it was worth it. Permanent healthy lifestyle change, nutrition, eating real good…

Mom of 3!

me too! Its macros simplified. Im building right now to prep for my 3rd competition this fall. the containers ROCK!

Im building right now!

grew up in MA but just moved to NH last week!

i couldnt do P90X2 to save my life, SO much core and strength that i thought i had... but sadly not for that one. balance balls are KILLER! Loved Asylums. Doing the new Body Beast Up workouts from On Demand right now, so fun!

it does matter... I started out just counting calories years ago, figuring the exercise was what was going to help me lose. while it helps, nutrition is 80% of the equation. to get the best results you should be looking at the quality of the calorie over the quantity. macros or use the container system. hope that helps.

Ive lost over 85 pounds and right now building to compete in figure this fall. It will be my 3rd comp!

it IS on sale! Do you already have a Beachbody account? Id be happy to send you the direct link. message me if you want to chat about the details. You could start it in my next online group too!

LOVE Insanity! my favorite cardio workout these days is max30 since its so short. TEaching the live classes are fun too!

yes! It was actually the first program I tried in combination with the nutritional guide that helped me drop 2 pants sizes in the 60 days!! I love it so much i actually got certified and teach it a couple of days a week. Let me know if you need help with anything.

me! me! I love it, i used to be a cardio junky but when i added in HEAVY weights my body comp changed so much and never did i bulk I only lean out which is pretty cool. You have to eat a TON to bulk and/or take some extra chemicals to produce that manly look. its hard to bulk. Im trying now for my 3rd competition in the…

ya, burnout is eminent

I actually stepped down as the president of my brick and mortar AV business to stay home with the kids and pursue a career as a health and fitness coach because i love it so much and helping others! That was 3 years ago, havent looked back since and I have replaced my income AND i work less hours! yay me:) I think you know…

mom of 3! 10yo, 7yo and 4yo

thats not true, your still counting calories. its not just about the quantity its about the quality of the calorie and meeting that balance of foods throughout the day.

prep and planning are def going to be the keys to success. I get up earlier to get my stuff done before everyone else is up and the day starts. that works for me.
