  • Thanks. Congratulations on the running, I'm still in the category of only running when chased ;-)
  • I was discouraged that I wasn't down a pants size even with weight loss (10s didn't fit even though my 12s were too big) and finally gave in to try on pants again after a few months to find I'm actually in a size 8 now! I skipped the 10s even though my weight hasn't changed much in the past few months.
  • You may want to try some rice pudding if you can handle a small amount of sugar. The rice should be binding and the eggs that are in most rice puddings will provide a little bit of protein. You can also add raisins to it if you prefer. I would recommend sticking close to the BRAT diet to help you start getting back on your…
  • Good morning Debi, I love your smile in your profile picture and that you are looking to eat healthy to achieve your weight loss. You are my inspiration this morning to work on planning out my meals and make sure they are more balanced since I am currently the lazy mom who fixes the kids food and then just pulls something…
  • You look great! Thanks for the reminder that getting down to where we want to be will take time and not to expect miracles overnight.:smile:

  • Try calling a seamstress out in town and chances are that you can find someone who can tailor the belt for you the same day. It may be a little more expensive, but should be possible. Congratulations on the weight loss and thank you for your service.
  • Another option for the pumpkin pie is an impossible pumpkin pie that uses Bisquick instead of a pie crust. I'm not sure if it would cut too many calories or not but is tasty.
  • I was above my goal weight when I got pregnant with both of mine. If you are ready to try then go for it, just continue to exercise and eat right and you may lose the weight or find out that you get pregnant before you reach your goal. Somehow as soon as we decided not to use birth control and I actuallly started to…
  • 4'11" here and started at 145 with a goal of 130, almost there at 132, but ultimate goal is around 125 and to start toning up since I'm at 34% body fat. I'm 35 and have two children (2 & 4) so trying to get down into the healthy zone so that I have the energy to keep up with them.
  • Don't worry about loosing the weight right away. Just do some light exercise if you feel up to it, walk for half an hour, do some light weights to try to tone what you have (5-8 lbs max) and try to find a comfortable routine that works for you and the new baby. I had two c-sections with complications and lost the weight…
  • 4'11" here and I started out this summer at 145. This scared me since it was the highest I had been other than my preganacies and all I could see was a continued creep up on the scale. I decided that I needed to drop a few pounds so that I could actually try to keep up with my girls (2 & 4). I still have some more to go…
  • Great job! You still have a week to go so don't beat yourself up over the 2 pounds just yet. You are looking AWESOME and I love the Muno hat:wink:
