I would love some more supportive friends :) Feel free to add me!

Height 5"4 SW 195(around 220 when pregnant) CW 130 GW 125(?) Mom of a 14m daughter <3 I love kickboxing, zumba and running.

7 lbs in one month is fantastic. Are you weighing yourself at the same times of the day? I will go up and down as much as 7 lbs in one day, it happens. How about measurements? I would recommend going my measurements... For over 3 weeks I didn't lose 1 lb but I had lost many inches all over my body. And also, some women…

I love fresh lemon juice over a salad with some pepper.

Looks amazing:) yum

Do you eat your burnt calories back?

Try measuring your body fat% instead, that % should be at a healthy number. Just my opinion :)

I've had a few set backs lately :( lots going on and things have been stressful last few days ... BUT I'm back in the game and my few days break is over. Eating has been great, just haven't been working out. Let's do this :)

I look at before/after photos of myself and others! I also look at my daughter and think about why I started... to show her a healthy lifestyle. Gets my butt off of the couch : )

I have taken fenugreek tablets and they work for me! I also find that on days that I eat oats(oatmeal, granola bars are great sources), I have more milk. I don't pump though, but I am sure it would be similar.

I totally crave chocolate as well, I put some raw cocoa powder in my pancake mix.. or make smoothies with it. It helps the craving. Read this, it answered lots of questions. Apparently we even burn extra calories during TOM. "Who knew? If you crave chocolate, it could be because it has magnesium, which you lose as estrogen…

To provide my daughter(and any future children) a healthy and long life. I want to be here when my great-grandchildren come around. I want to see my children grow up. I want them to lead their children into a healthy life as well. This is my main reason.

Oh wow, I can see your progress photo! You look fantastic! You can really notice a big difference. I was going to upload mine, but I realized that MFP doesn't allow underwear photos! That's the only before ones that I took. I took some in a one-piece bathing suit so next time I can actually post them on here.

you are incredibly beautiful and you look amazing! congrats on your weight loss!

I eat 1650 calories a day and I am on my feet for.. I would day 50%-70% of my day and I eat my exercise calories back. For me, the more I eat, the faster I lose. I would try eating a higher amount of calories for 2 weeks or so and see if you notice more loss. However, I will say that inches matter SO MUCH MORE than lbs…

My 12 month still sleeps with me, but I would imagine then are safe now. I think once they can turn their head it would be fine!

oh wow you all have done SO great! I lost 2.5 lbs. Which is awesome for me! Lately I have only been losing .5 lbs a week or so. AND I lost 2 inches off of my waist! 1 inch off of my hips. I am very shocked that I lost 2 inches off of my waist. I feel so much more stronger in my core, which is something that I have…

you are very pretty and sort of look like the Elena off of vampire diaries!

I have been doing about 30 mins of cardio as well! I think if you are beginning working out then it would be ideal, so you don't wear yourself out, but if you have been working out for a long time and don't think it'll wear you out then I would do extra!

Skittles shots!!! Or tequila :D Ohh, and what are they called... King Kong? Yum.

wow girl! you look amazing!!! congrats

My MIL tried giving me crap about breastfeeding when LO was a newborn. She was jealous that she couldn't give LO what I can. I told her to mind her own business. If anybody ever tried feeding my 12 month old pretzels and chips, especially without asking then I would immediately tell them to leave. That's not okay. Chips…

I have to wet mine as well and it doesn't seem to detect a heartbeat until I wet both the rubber AND the fabric side. Worth a try?? Also, maybe instead of strapping it in try pushing it into your chest at every angle first? That's what I did when I had problems and it seemed to fix it.. Aww hopefully it's not defective!!!…

wow! You look FANTASTIC! Amazing work.

I started by doing some cardio that I enjoyed doing, which was Zumba! It was so much fun, and I logged everything that I ate. I tried to eat as clean as I possibly could for as long as possible, which geared me to the right path for eating healthy. Now I have started doing strength and I found my passion for running. I…

Yay for starting the challenge:D Lately I haven't been too hungry in the mornings, so I normally eat an egg on half a slice of toast with some ketchup. But, normally I would make a big breakfast. My favorite things to eat are protein pancakes, sometimes I would make "cream cheese" stuffed protein pancakes. They are…

I have a HRM but if you put it in a circuit training it should be fine:) that's what I log it in as and the calories are normally fairly accurate.

I only count anything that I actually do for exercise.. I have my activity level set as lightly active because I'm cleaning or cooking 99.99% of the day it seems lol. So if I take a walk to the store, or walk to check mail I don't count that because I just think it's in with my activity level!:) so just my running or the…

My favourite recipes are probably lettuce wraps! Just sub a wrap for a lettuce leaf. I also love making baked potatoes with cottage cheese and salsa. Also in advance you can bake eggs, mixed veggies and cottage cheese in oven on 375 put them in muffin tins and you can just grab them, heat them and go! Super easy to make…

I did C25K and I didn't even enjoy running to begin with... But I ended up falling in love with it! Now I look forward to running. Just start out slow, don't go too fast, you will get there in time! The C25K is amazing.
