Awesomesauce! =D

You ladies look great! Keep up the good work and I hope you make all your goals. :bigsmile:

Good for you for taking positive steps towards your sons health. As parents, we all make mistakes, but it's good that you're doing all you can for your family. Thank you for sharing your insight and what you are doing! :)

Parents set the nutritional blueprint for their children's life. Yes, at some point they will be independent, but it's essential to teach them how good nutrition affects them and helps keep them healthy so they can take those lessons with them into adulthood. Breaks my heart to see parents who pander to their extremely…

Too funny!

:blushing:

Wow, what a great topic! Because who's truly honest about their reasons for wanting to lose weight? Many people say it's because they care about their health or it's for their kids but their true reasons are much more shallow. ;) Honestly? Mine's to make people jealous. Before I (unwillingly) moved to the middle of nowhere…

Someone once told me to throw away the scale because it can be a real downer when you're working hard and the numbers stop going down. But I still like having one around. I weigh myself twice a week, first thing in the morning after a pee (ha ha, TMI). I like to do it mid-week Wednesday, and Saturday because I always start…

1st was Alicia Keys 2002, last was Beyonce, 2010. Both AMAZING concerts, very talented and beautiful performers.

Can't have one without the other. Sure, you might loose weight with a good diet, but then you could end up skinny flabby, versus skinny toned. I like the 80/20 rule (80% diet, 20% exercise), but truthfully for me it's more like 70/30. Good luck with all your weight loss goals everyone! =D

Hahahaha! That's great. ;)

You've indirectly motivated me with your post. ;)

Hi Caitlyn! That's awesome that you want to make some positive changes for your help! My advice is to remember that not all your success can be measured by a scale. Sometimes you'll work really hard and not lose a pound and it can be really discouraging. But no that you're making great strides for your health. You're also…

Hi and welcome! My fitness pal is awesome and very helpful. I'll add you. Best of luck with your weight loss journey!

Definitely lame!

That's heartbreaking! Hope your niece makes a full recovery. What a shame. :( I know lots of people that have done the HCG diet and swear by it, and I've seen them loose tons of weight very quickly. I was even tempted to try it myself, but I'm so glad I didn't. When you loose weight that quickly and that unnaturally, it…

Congrats! You look amazing!

Welcome to MFP! This place is great! I work from home, but it's in front of a computer all day. I try and sit on the fitness ball whenever possible to keep the blood pumping and either do morning or evening workouts. I'm constantly snacking, and MFP is great because you can keep tabs on what you're eating and it's super…

I'm Nitara and I'm 30 (is that still considered young?). I have my own work at home business working as a social media marketer. Married, with a lil troublemaker honey baby lamb face girl that's almost 2 years old. 2 dogs. Live in the middle of nowhere and not crazy about it, but after losing our house in this crazy…

Amen!!! Lol!

Best...movie concept...ever! It's about time Hollywood started outright pandering to female sexuality. It's a force to be reckoned with.

Compromise is good, but most importantly do what works best for you and your body. You're the one who has to carry a new baby plus the weight not your hubby so you've got to do what's right for you! Good luck!

Hi, I'm looking for motivating friends as well! Count me in! :flowerforyou: Good luck with your weight loss journey!

Yo! ;)

Cheeky monkeys and dirty birds! =D

Hola! My name is Nitara and I am a 30 year old, married, work at home mama of a very precocious little crumb snatcher. ;) Just moved to a rinky dink country bumpkin town in New Mexico. I have my own business doing social media marketing for small businesses (yep, people actually pay me to do their Facebook posts.…

I'm with ya girl! Losing weight after baby is soo hard! I've got a six month old and have just started trying about a month ago to really start dropping some of the weight. Just be patient with yourself and don't rush; pace yourself and set mini goals that are reasonable and realistic to obtain with such a hectic schedule.…

You're better off just weighing yourself first thing in the morning so as not to get depressed since the average human body can fluxiate as much as 4lbs during the day! Here's what I found online to answer your question. You weigh less in the morning because when your body converts food materials to energy, CO2 and water…

Don't listen to her! Haters are just jealous. Whenever someone else is bettering themselves, hateful people will give what I like to call "backhanded compliments" to make themselves feel better. It's just jealousy and that's what makes people nasty. With every rude comment you recieve, consider the source and know that you…

Rome wasn't built in a day! Just be patient with yourself and take it one day at a time. As each day progresses, you'll have the energy to push yourself and motivate yourself just a little more. Never feel guilty for not doing more, because ANY effort you're making and any amount of time your investing in bettering your…
