Im i a similiar boat and would love the encouragement as well. I am having a hard time staying motivated. I have 10 month old and just stopped breastfedding aka no more excuses haha.

If you are anything like me the sorbet and fat free stuff very little to curb my ice cream cravings. I def would not deprive yourself though, that just ends up to binging. Good luck! If i go out for ice cream I get a small cup (single scoop) which is usually only about 300 calories, 400 is i opt for a sugar cone. If I were…

wow, good for you!

I have a pretty decent "recipe" but unfortunately i am the worst when it comes to measuring so ill put my guestamations. - 10oz of ground lean turkey - i know its an odd amount but i will usually split the little container it comes in into 3 portions and freeze them in zip lock bags and they are usually about 10oz each. -…

I only have about 20lbs to lose and reach a plateau around 10lbs. I started my "journey" janaury and in Feb i decided to take pictures because sometimes you can't see the changes. At the beginning of every month i take pictures and even though i have only lost about 5lbs since taking the pictures when i see the pictures i…

thats amazing! I love when that happens. I was able to go "shopping" in my closet last week and it made my day!

They are def not the best for you, outside of the skin, the buffalo sauce itself is mostly butter. If they are one of your favorite things and you are working them into your day, i say go for it in moderation, but def dont eat them every day. I would also check out home made versions, that you can make and reduce some of…

I think its def a southern/midwest thing, in the northeast its not really done too much any more (from my experience). I think anything can be made tacky (this included) but if done the right way can be a lot of fun. It depends on how you and the dj approach the situation. If you are a little hesitant maybe say all…

Hopefully you will be able to buy so fancy new jeans that are even more fantastic and in a smaller size :)

@funkythreads: i rubbed my jeans on the screen, i hope it works :)

I am getting married in september too and im not *****y...most of the time...unless im hungry...or tired... haha. anyway, i found the knot to be the same way. I would check out projectwedding.com. The women on there are super nice and supportive. Feel free to friend me and we chat/complain about wedding stuff :) Good luck…

Ill usually have a chobani yogurt or a cup of tea with a lorna doone 100 calorie pack. That usually does the trick.

I noticed a few things: the first is the weekend, you are not really logging and what you are logging is very typically "weekend junk". Just because its the weekend doesnt mean you get a free pass. If you want to "treat yourself" do so in little bits throughout the week. the second - which a few people have pointed out and…

hello ladies! I am also on operation wedding trim down. I am down about 14lbs from the beginning of the year and am hoping to lose another 15 by the wedding. I look forward to keeping in touch and motivating with you guys without the process!

Last week i gained 2.5lbs over night and i can tell you i did not eat an extra 8000 calories. Females especially fluctuate a lot because of our varying hormone levels. While its tempting I would not weigh your self everyday instead weigh yourself once a week (maybe twice) at the same time each time. This will give you a…

I am running in the race, but i am run closer to 12 min miles and i already have running buddy...because someone decided to run a little faster then his fiance for this race...

vent away! i could start going on and on about how you could improve and what not but i dont think thats why you posted or what you need. I think some people are just more disciplined. I am not one of those people haha. The minute i lose focus the weight comes back. so its not just you. I guess we just need to find a…

baby carrots w/ reduced fat peanut butter, weight watcher fudge bars, a 100 calorie pack of anything that has chocolate or peanut butter as one of the main ingredients haha.

I do and I do feel guilty but I know i am making a life style change and some days will be better then others. Ill give myself those moments and just try to be better the next day. Its especially hard when i go over and feel guilty and look back and think wow that was totally not worth it. But i guess it just means next…

I have a pretty tasty super easy broccoli recipe that seems to be hit whenever I make it. I use fresh broccoli and cut up the crowns (not stems) and lay them on a tin foil lined pan/cooking sheet. I spray the broccoli with pam olive oil spray and sprinkle - salt, garlic powder, fresh pepper and parmesan cheese (i use the…

I felt like that in the beginning of the week. I like to blame it on the weather change. I have been trying to go for a walk on my lunch break to help break up the day and it has really helped.

Races def motivate me especially because I will follow a training schedule so i know exactly what to do on what days. Also if you have never run a long distance the sense of accomplishment you get for running further than you ever have or thought you could is really amazing. The only problem I have had is about 2/3rd of…

I am, we are in exton...its not philly but its close enough :)

How long have you been running for? If your up to 3 miles I'm guessing its more then a couple weeks. In which case your "wall" is 100% mental. What happens when you hit the 3 miles? Maybe try walking for a minute or two then start running again. If you are struggling just to get to the 3 miles slow down a bit. No one says…

Kelskay, from everything i have read p90x is good for people who are already in semi good shape but want that extra boost or lose those extra lbs. It sounds like (and i could be wrong) you are just starting out. Apparently p90x has a beginners version which is just p90. I was doing some research earlier and there over a…

Like others have said its probably due to the extra fluid intake along with the extra sodium. If i know i've had bad day I give myself a few days before getting on the scale and having a panic attack. This also gives me time to go to the gym and eat a little healthy to counter act all the bad.

I'm a bride to be, sept 2011 and looking to firm everything up a bit, id love to lose 15-20lbs but really since my arms and upper back will be the only things showing maybe just develop super toned arms... :)

I use mircette - its only the one i have tried that i didnt gain a lot of weight and become a crazy pants. I need something with extemely low hormones otherwise, i have tried Ortho and Yaz, gained weight on both and became a little(re: alot) emotional. I would def talk to your doctor about your concerns and you should work…

Oh geeze there 2 more programs?! Randal your killing me haha. Well it sounds like any of those programs will give me the results i need, I guess i'll wait and see which one goes on sale :)

I always have trouble eating when i first get up and before a work out but i know it is better to have something in your system when you work out. I will usually have a banana, breakfast bar or a slice a toast with peanut butter. I think your head is in the right place with in apple. Since you are doing mostly cardio i…
