Great job! You look wonderful. I'm sure you feel great too! I started with 109 pounds to lose, so we were in similar boats. I've only lost 5 so far, but you inspire me to keep working! p.s. I have lap band. Currently, it is empty. I had the fluid taken out during my last pregnancy. My baby is 4 months now, but I still…

I'm doing the same thing ;) Just exercise everyday, even if it isn't super intense. I set the goal of 30 minutes at least a day. I love doing Just Dance 2 on the wii. I do the Just Sweat Intense workout (it's like 6 songs) every morning. The free step on Wii fit is also nice, you can watch TV while you step at a decent…

You've done so well, congrats! I wish you health in your pregnancy and so much happiness with the little one once it arrives!

Thanks everyone for your input. I have been adding the, "breastfeeding mother," calories back into my food diary, so I make sure to get enough for her. I also try to use up the exercise calories I deduct. Really, I'm eating a lot of food, it's just much healthier choices. I do think maybe all the veggies are making her…

Great ideas everyone! Thanks. I love hummus, I but the Tribe All Natural individual packs at Costco. I love it with carrot sticks. I used to love it with Simply Garlic and Parmesan Pita chips, but alas, carrots are a much healthier choice ;) I've never tried greek yogurt, I'll definitely put in on my shopping list. All…

I always feel better when I take prenatal vitamins while pregnant and nursing, it may just be psychological, but I do. I wish I could get in the habit of taking them all the time. My hair and nails seem to grow faster when I do. I figure, my body will use the vitamins I need, and if I get more than I need, my body will pee…

You are doing SO good! It is one of my goals to run a 5K someday and you inspire me! Keep it up!

I use the blender on my Bosch mixer, it works great! The best blender I've seen is the Blendtec, but they are pricey! Sometimes Costco has good deals. Good luck!

Thanks for all of your help, everyone! I had both my children with wonderful nurse midwives, so it feels good to hear from one on this topic. My baby girl is almost 4 months, still exclusively breast fed. I haven't decided yet whether to start her on rice cereal at 4 months like they tell you at the pediatrician, or wait…

My husband's family is crazy about HCG. They've all done it, and lost the weight they wanted to lose FAST. Thing is, their weight always comes back on pretty fast too, and they go back on the diet. I keep watching them do it, and would never choose to do it myself. You will lose the weight, and you will lose it quick, but…

I LOVE slow cooker recipes, especially if they'll help me reach my weight loss goals. If you don't mind, please email them to me as well. goatstew@gmail.com Thanks so much. It's very kind of you to share.

I'm right there with you! I just signed up tonight, and I'm really excited to get started. I had my second baby in October and I haven't even began to take the pounds off. I was overweight before I had my first one :embarassed: I have Just Dance 2, and I love it, so I plan on using it every morning. I also have Wii fit, so…
