Mom of a 3 year old girl and a nearly 1 year old boy. I didn't gain as much weight with #2 but I was about 205lbs to begin with. I started here in August and have lost 30lbs so far I have about 25 more to go to reach my original goal weight of 150 and then I'll reassess to see if I want to lose more. I work full time and…

I've taken everything under the sun and none of them work as effectively as taking in fewer calories than you burn. I think a lot of it is psychological. When I started here in August I was taking different pills and lost weight. I was nervous to stop taking them but I have and I'm losing weight just as well. It definitely…

3625/3500. With all the snow in my neck of the woods I almost took a rest day today. Then I saw I only had 230 cal. to go to hit 3500 and that was all the motivation I needed. I did yoga and took the dog for a snowy walk so it was still a "rest" type day compared to my normal workouts but it did the job!

Awesome job!!

I'm at 3269/3500

With my burn today I'm at 2404/3500. I did Dance Central for the Kinect and did a walk with my 22lb son strapped to my chest.

Hi all! I'm new and am excited to see how I do. This week I'm at 1503/3500 I did circuit training on Monday, eliptical and stationary bike for Tuesday and walked yesterday! Normally, I'd be farther along with calories burned but my step-class turned into a circuit training class on Monday so I probably burned 300 less…

Hi, I just found your group and thought it'd be fun! I usually work out daily for about 1 hour so hopefully I'll be able to hit 3500+ a week! I am 28 and have been married for 4+years (been together 8). We both gained weight together and I went from 135 to 232 over the course of 5 years. In December 2008 we had our…

I will buy the Green Giant Steamers for when I don't feel like planning ahead. 1 bag isn't all that many calories and it's just veggies with a sauce of some sort. Otherwise, I bring portioned out leftovers or a pre portioned, ready to throw together salad.

I'll have to check this game out. I just busted out our Kinect that we got last year. I'm doing the Dance Central since my kids are sick so I can't go to the gym. Thanks for inadvertantly suggesting it :)

I did it for 5 days after watching that movie and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I think juicing once a day is a great way to ensure that you are getting your veggies, especially if you have a hard time eating them normally. I would put all the following in my juice and I would never have been able to consume…

Yay, I got one too. I'm curious to know how accurate I've been with my guessing!

I hit the gym for an hour, cleaned, put the kids down for naps early. Then we'll head to my dad and step-mom's for a few hrs and then off to my mom and step dad's for the remainder of Christmas Eve. I'm glad i don't have as much cooking/baking as you OP although all of that sounds DELISIOUS!

Me too! I'm in downtown Edmonds. Love it here!

My brother and I don't look alike. He looks like my moms side of the family and I am my dad's. My kids look SO much alike though (as you can see in my profile pic). They both have blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, dimpled chins and round faces. My husband and I are brunette, brown or hazel eyes, I have more olive…

Sounds fun, I'm down!

I love the Steamers veggies. I don't know if you work but they are great for quick lunches and generally below 250 calories for the whole bag. Assorted fruit oatmeal for breakfast.

Yes, mine is misspelled. It's stefanieanne14...as you can see from my response :) Exicted to do this with you guys!

SW: 183.5

Good job!!! You should be so proud!

I definitely need to invest in a food scale and for $7.50 there is no reason not to! We're going to my MIL's house so I don't want to seem weird in using measuring devices while dishing up; this seemed to be a good option for being away from home.

Yes, this sounds like fun. I'd like to be in the 6-8 pound group ~ Stefanie

Open Nature 100% Natural - Roasted Vegetable Pizza. It's multi-grain thin crust and very delicious!

I meant I lose nothing for weeks and then one week I lose 4 pounds, then nothing for weeks again. I don't lose weekly.

Yes, I personally don't lose consistently although I excercise and stay within my calories. I'll lose like 4lbs all at once though.

Don't think about the excercise just do it. If you start thinking about it you find a million reasons to talk yourself out of doing it. I just go to the gym and it's part of the routine now, not a chore. Good luck!!

I agree, you can see it in your face for sure :)
