I'm happy about 135ish. That puts me at a size six-ish. I have big boobs and a good butt, but a mommy tummy.

i did so good at first, staying active for 6 months, then i won the contest i was in (biggest loser type thing at hubby's job) and i also started a new job after being at home for 5 years. i just re-started again, after much thought about what motivates me. i *think* i've figured it out. i use the "pact" app. i set goals…

i think its more trial and error. i didnt start here till my son was only nursing 2 or 3 times a day (he is 2.5 now) so i have no idea. but your body is the only accurate calorie counter. ;) if the loss slows or stops, then its too much.

chocolate no bake cookies. i made them the other day and i cant stop thinking about them. at 212 calories for ONE cookie it sucks. i cant even look at the container without mentally tasting them. i gotta make the kids eat them tonight or something LOL

we just went out for our anniversary dinner, to a place we havent been to in a few years (very expensive) and no i was not disappointed. filet mignon, sweet potato fires with honey, broccoli, and for dessert, an ooey gooey cinnamon tortilla filled with what must have been 1.5-2 CUPS haagen daaz vanilla ice cream, with…

i went over my typical breakfast, but only had one (ONE!!) cadbury egg for lunch. i plan on eating a normal sized dinner, leave room for cake, but i'm not logging the random jelly beans and tastes of frosting etc, so i doubt i'll go over. this past week has been either feast or famine or me. stomach bug, anniversary…

i'd wait. you can get a pretty ring in the current size pretty cheap. i'm not even wearing mine because it needs both re-sizing and new prongs, which are pretty low on the priority list. i've got a cute sterling ring with 5 cz's in a band/anniversary style, and it works. (qvc) i wore it while i was pregnant, and i dont…

the right man wont care. i am far from having a perfect shape, i've got way too many stretchmarks, fat lumps, and things i dont like. my hubby still stares when i get dressed and makes me feel like a supermodel. take it slow, tell him you feel awkward, and see what happens. or just tear HIS clothes off, and he'll be so…

depends on the scale. mine, i can weigh accurately with just my left foot, but if i stand on just my right foot, its off by almost 10 pounds. (lighter) can you have a not-hurt person check quick for you? and did i mention how much i hate my scale?

DO NOT, for the love of all things holy and sacred, post the recipes for those. i will hunt you down and.. and... idk what i would do but it wouldnt be pretty! so much for me feeling self righteous over my kid for my way better/healthier breakfast. HA lo

five guys. thank god i dont have money to eat out often LOL plus my son is allergic to peanuts, so we have to go on date night, which makes it even more rare. (date night is usually dessert at the diner or a movie at home, or dq, mcd's dessert, depending on budget.)

i wait till the end of the day to see how many i have left. some days i can go full on dq blizzard, some days i dont get anything. today i'm gonna get a small sundae after the kids go to bed.

taking b vitamins can make it hard to fall asleep even if you take them a few hours before bed. they dont call them the energy vitamins for nuthin' :) i do think b6 is worse for this than the b12 though, but dont quote me on it.

i started at 203.

ok, so you can: brush your teeth. every time a craving hits if you have to. dont do your normal evening activities, find something other than sitting in front of the tv watching endless commercials for chocolate and other tasty goodies. call a friend to keep your mouth busy take up a hobby that keeps your hands busy, such…

potassium is not currently required to be listed on nutrition labels, so it many times isnt entered. you can ignore it. eat lots of sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and leafy greens and you'll get plenty.

i have that. in my case it's a patella tracking disorder. specifically patellafemoral disorder. causes cracking, popping, grinding, pain going up and down stairs, and a few other things. the ortho referred me to physical therapy, but i cant afford it, so i suffer. :( i cant do any kind of squat, lunge, deadlift, or any…

experiment with taking leftovers and turning them into a new dish. you dont have to throw a pork chop on a plate and re-heat it. make something new! chop up that pork chop and make homemade egg rolls. :) or whatever. take the leftover chicken and make soup, or chicken pot pie, or put into a salad, or use it in a stir fry.…

love your new 'do!

i did weigh my clothes once. it was almost exactly 5 pounds. go figure.

i went to the dr in dec, at my heaviest, but my complaint was that i was gaining weight, so he didnt yell at me or anything, since he knew i was aware of it. went in mid jan again, and had started to lose a little bit ( i think 3 lbs then) and he said i was on the right track. went again last monday, and basically got a…

you gotta have thick skin when you post on an internet forum. i forgot that when i started here too.

how much skin you show is up to you. dont not wear something that makes you feel awesome and that looks good on you just because of someone else supposed feelings (who knows what shes thinking) that said, i do think as one gets older hemlines should come down just a tad. i'm not talking going from daisy dukes to…

you look great!!! cute dress too :)

i dont know if i should laugh or cry at this thread. laugh at the stupidity of doing a cleanse, or cry at the explanations of doing a cleanse. this thread needs more gifs. (i dont know how to do them)

if you cant be honest with yourself, how the heck do you expect others to do so? grow up, put on your big girl panties, and do what needs to be done. you are acting like a child. "i dont want to.. i'm in denial" grow up. just stop and think about somebody else instead of what YOU dont want to do. you brought those precious…

yup, along with a weight plateau and increased appetite, and fatigue. and being colder.

YES

i eat between 300-400 calories. 1750 goal. i dont do percentages LOL edit because typing skills are important

apricot glazed pork chops with rice and a veggie (the rice is always the last thing to be done thats how fast it cooks) recipe on allrecpes.com chicken broccoli stir fry. uses italian peppers instead of bell peppers so its not such a powerful pepper taste. y kids go nuts for this, even my 2 year old. crockpot anything beer…
