Boy this topic made me feel better. And here I thought I was the only one that had a 3yr old with attitude (lol):laugh: Reading everyone's replys has given me some more insight on how to handle it. because let me tell you...sometimes I feel like banging my head against the wall:sad: My son loves to talk back and as soon as…

I always log my meals first thing every morning & I also try to log my exercise for the day as well before I do it. I have noticed that it keeps me in line more when I do than if I don't. I notice I will push myself harder with exercise in order to make sure I keep with the expectations I set for myself that day. Also with…

Whatever you do don't give up. It will happen. My son is 3 1/2 and I am just now getting the weight off after trying for 3 years. Mixing up your workout (try cross training) will definitely give your metabolism a boost and you will see the weight come off. Also, make sure you are not only watching calorie intake but…

Not all California weather is nice. I am from the Los Angeles area where usually your summer days are always in the 100's and the evenings may cool down to 80 degrees if your luck, then add in the lovely smog that is about a foot thick. It is always nicer temps at the beach locations but not inland. We moved to Colorado…

The key to feeling full is eating more foods with whole grain fiber. Fiber helps keep you full so does water. I read that the majority of the time we think we are hungry when we shoudn't be is because our bodies are lacking the water it needs. Keep drinking water throughout the day and you will notice a change in your…

Halloween is my favorite holiday too!!!! I am definitely up for this. I always have to make sure I come up with the most gruesome, unique costume as possible, yet throw a little flair of sexy into it. LOL Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I had the same problem with my back plus I had a hernia operation a couple years ago so I have to be careful. I consulted with a trainer at my gym and she had me use one of those body balls. You can get one at any Wal-Mart or Target and they have a guide inside the box on all the different exercises you can do and how to…

Your doing great!!! Just stay strong and keep your chin up. I have been there a couple of times since I have been on here. I just had a crash and burn moment during the 4th of July. We went camping for 4 days and I binged on some junk food and of course did not exercise while I was there. But when I got back I just made…

That is SWEET!!!:bigsmile: Thanks for that!!! I absolutely love Red Robin and could never find calorie information for their food. Not only does this have it but being able to see what the calories are by adding, removing, or changing ingredients is the best thing ever!!!:flowerforyou:

I work out on my lunch and then eat at my desk but I also get an hour lunch and some people get less which makes it hard. I also work 40hrs a week and I have 3yr old so I take runs after work with my jogging stroller. I know you have 2 kids but I believe they sell jogging strollers for 2. Your 6 month old may be too little…

:laugh: ok. good luck! As someone else posted it matters about how much thought you have put into it and you seem to be doing that.

Since it has been a while and she has been out of town she is definitley going to want some quiet time alone with you. She would love if you cooked for her (women love when a man can cook) and you could set your place up with candles and some soft music. If not you may want to think about going to nice place for some…

What time of the day are you thinking of having the date and is this the first date?

Me too. I was gone out of state for a week and ate out every day because my mom was in the hospital. Although I don't know how I did but I still managed to lose weight. Maybe I needed it to kick my metabolism back in to high gear. I got back on track today and wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Stay…

I was feeling the exact same way you were today. I did go but I have been like this off and on for the past couple of weeks. I am sure we are not alone in this. It will pass it has for me before and I get motivated again. Keep your chin up!!!:bigsmile:

I have never battled an eating disorder but have battled weight. I applaud you for recognizing what you need to do and for being able to to defeat your demon. :flowerforyou: I know that this will probably still always be a struggle for you but in just reading your words please know that you are a strong person. It is…

If you have access to a punching bag, wear weighted boxing gloves and just smack that bag!! Your arms will get toned in no time. I have a bag at home and it works wonders!
