Some of what I am doing to avoid my 'spirals' is planning. That may sound simple, but it has helped tremendously. Plan for your snacks by pre-portioning healthy options in the small snack sized zip lock bags. Things like sliced cucumbers with lime juice, mixed berries, raw nuts, or air popped popcorn. I have to say I LOVE…

How did the row class go?

You can do it!!! Pull out those tricks and maybe even share some with us! Nearly 6 lb loss in the first week is amazing.... keep it up, one day at a time!
-
So glad to hear you did so well!! That is fantastic! And congrats on your boy's birthday. :)

Yum!
-
Hi Steph! It has been a few days and I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? Hope you are keeping at it!
-
Hi Courtney! It is great to have you join the group! It has really helped me to log in every day and do the food diary. I hope that helps! We are with you.

I would order the Miso Soup, it is yummy and about 50 calories per serving!!! I would either pick chicken or shrimp in miso, ginger, garlic or satay (w/o the peanut sauce).... or if you like heat the sriracha. Avoid the nut sauces and Macadamia dish. I would recommend you avoid the sweet sauces (if you don't know if they…

I am 5'5 and 180. I am in a 12, but definitely not for long!

Thank you for sharing! I am totally making this for dinner tomorrow!
-
Oh my goodness, it sounds awesome! I'm going to have to try! And I love the spice!
-
Can't wait to try, especially because in my house we spread a little peanut butter, almond butter or nutella on pancakes (no butter or syrup).

Wow, a juice cleanse is a great idea. If you decide to do it, keep us posted. I ran out and bought a juicer after watching the documentary FAT SICK AND NEARLY DEAD. I never did it as a cleanse or juice fast, but I do use it to pack a nutritional punch to my diet every so often. I appreciate you sharing it helped remove…

We are glad you found us too! I think you've done a great job setting your first goal of 160. Your info/stats are pretty similar to mine. I am 36 (turning 37 this summer), 5'5 to 5'6 and currently 182. The last time I was under 160 was when I got pregnant with my youngest, who is nearly 5.... so it's been a while. My…

Welcome to the group! That is INCREDIBLE that you are down 32 pounds! I hope you celebrated with a mani/pedi or a new lipgloss or something! I am really excited to have you with us and can not wait to see you reach that first goal of 11 pounds. You can do it!
-
I have LOVED the transparency shared here and such great goals! We can do this!
-
Welcome! We are glad to have you! Check out the CHALLENGE thread and see if you are interested in joining that! I am sorry to hear of the CD, that is a pretty serious illness. I hope the meds help keep it manageable for you, especially for your little one. I love your positive outlook. We are here for you!
-
You can do this! To keep from being overwhelmed at how far I have to go I just look at getting through the day. My goal is today. So let your goal be today. I am sure your kids had a blast with you playing with them at the park... here is to healthier moms and happier kids! We are going to do together!
-
I am just over 5'5. My first goal is 150 and then my ultimate goal is 132. I was about 110 when I got married, without dieting or exercising. I just had a much more active lifestyle and almost never ate fast food or prepackaged foods. I also was not a snacker. I have a muscular frame and am medium boned. I have always been…

ugh. The yo-yo sucks. In the past few weeks I gained back about 5 pounds I had loss and it just sent me over the edge. Enough is enough. Realizing I really have to change and I really can't do it on my own was sobering. I am so glad to have found MFP. Here's to us uneating an elephant a day at a time! We can do it! (Ok, I…

Great idea Thai! I did just that, here is the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/14821-30-something-mamas-taking-it-back Looking forward to having you share!

I am 36 and just started a group for those of us with kids and in our 30's. I have kids in preschool, elementary, middle school and high school.... oh my! If you'd like to join the group, follow the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/14821-30-something-mamas-taking-it-back
-
I think you could expect a 1-2 pound loss average per week. Your goal is within that range. Good luck to you!
-
Wow Mindy! What a story, thank you so much for sharing. I am completely inspired to look into Shakeology for myself! Those are incredible results. I am happy to hear your kiddos have a healthy and happy mama who will be around for them!
-
Steph, you can add me. I am new to MFP, but not new to weight-loss attempts. I am looking for others are committed and willing to reach out to offer/receive support. Losing weight is hard. Support helps.
-
I just joined today as well and for some similar reasons. You can add me, I'd love the support as well.
-
I am new as well and I am super motivated because of my sister's upcoming wedding. I have been working on my fitness goals (this time around) since April. I found MFP because I am looking for encouragement, support, inspiration and accountability.
