  • stretchmarks are forever, sorry, I am bummed too.Had 2 kids and have a few on my stomach that I hate.But they are battle scars, that I carry with pride.:wink: But, I have a friend that works with lasers, and she mostly does hair removal, but said that are getting new lasers that dramatically reduce the look of…
  • The trainers at my gym reccommend one day of rest a week, especially if you are lifting weights.Listen to your body, if you need a day off take it.
  • Just do the best you can at every meal, and remember you are worth it, do it for yourself, don't put pressure on yourself for the perfect body, go for just being healthier.Start liking yourself, you are worth it!Everyone has a bad day, just get back at it after you slip up.I've had kids too, and lets just say my stomach is…
  • great job!!!You are doing great!:smile:
  • for lower body do some squats and lunges, they burn lots of calories and you don't have to use weights, but you could hold some free weights while you do them.Gives legs great definition.Upper body you can do pushups, and then start low on weight with biceps and triceps.There are also some fun workout dvd's that could help…
  • keep trying, it will work, sometimes it just takes a while for your body to switch gears, but it will let go of stored fat.Hang in there!!:smile:

  • :smile: I like to have one every now and then too just for a taste of something different than water.I love the cherry coke zero, and sometimes I am tired and need that little caffeine kick.I would enjoy 1 a day and not feel bad about it!:smile:
  • Bread, just good old bread, love it but definatley not worth it anymore.I have found bagel thins for 110 calories, not quite the same, but still yummy!Amazing how I now think about everything I put in my mouth, never thought of it before.I still have cheat days too, important and fun!:laugh:
  • yeah!!!way to go!Happy for you!I:smile:
  • good luck:smile: , you can do it!!!!
  • I love apples with peanut butter, or bananas and peanutbutter, gets filling fast.I also like cinnamon raisin bagel thins, they are only 110 calories, I have them for breakfast with a grapefruit, and a hard boiled egg.I also make chicken fajitas without the taco shell, and I use refried fat free beans, with peppers and…
  • I hear ya, I have 2 girls home this summer too, and they keep wanting DQ or eating out.so frustrating, I do so well on my own.Just try the best you can, and planning is a great idea, even when I do that, something screws it up.Oh well, gotta enjoy the kiddos too.Hang in there, you'll get on track!:wink: I just use a little…
  • eat more, so your body isn't in starvation mode, and holding on to stored fat.:smile:

  • just eat them!!They are great for you.:wink:
  • great job, good luck to you!!!:smile:
  • Agreed.Thought it would be easy to stay here, but I either gain 2 or lose 2, never just hold.I just keep plugging away, and make good choices.(most of the time):wink: Good luck to you!!
  • I agree, I especially think us women are hard on ourselves.Start being positive and great results will happen!!:smile:
  • never thought to do that, thanks for the tip, I will be doing that from now on!!:smile:
  • Awesome job!!:smile:
  • It's a new day, forget the weekend, and start back to healthy today!Keeping track on here is what keeps me on task, we had b-day parties this weekend too, I went for a 3 mile run before each one so I wouldn't feel so guilty later, but start fresh today!!!:wink:
  • It probably has to do with breastfeeding, although usually you lose weight doing that.Just stick to it, it will come off, sometimes it takes a month or so.And remember, you are now healthy so thats awesome!!:smile:
  • that happens to me sometimes to around my cycle.Or sometimes if I did alot of working out that day, my body seems like a bottomless pit of hunger.Try drinking a full glass of water, and leave the kitchen.If you still are not satisfied at least try eating veggies or fruits so at least it's healthy!!Don't stress over it,…
  • good for you, good luck!

  • I know this isn't that low calorie, but you only need one!Long Island iced tea with diet coke.around 225 calories I think, but I have one then I'm usually drunk and have water after.I have also had the skinny marquarita, but I have them add crystal light lemonade or sprite zero to it so it has more taste!Enjoy your night…
  • My friend (who is a personal trainer) says that it may sag for a while, but your body will know it's not needed and therefore start to shrink it back tight.After having had 2 kids though, my tummy is still a little loose yet, waiting for it to magically tighten up myself.But if you are healthy, thats all that…
