I always try to measure when I weigh, in the morning. If I wait until the end of the day, I tend to get puffy and not the results that I like. Maybe you should try that and see what the measuring tape says. Maybe it will be more in your favor!!!

For some reason, every person I've ever known has decided that this is the weekend to come see me. Yikes! I'm going to be really really busy.

We really like De Wafelbakker's pancakes (and waffles, but the pancakes are awesome). They were on sale here the other day when I went grocery shopping and I picked up a bunch of boxes. My son really likes the Sweet Potato Cinnamon ones. I like the Berry ones. They don't even need butter or syrup or anything! They're made…

I would find some videos of something fun that you could do with your kids. That way, they're getting some exercise too. Here's some I found that they might find kind of fun: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_d?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=fitness+for+kids Sure, it's geared towards kids, but you could do it too!…

Eek. I know that that can be a tough situation. My husband, son, and I lived with his parents for a few months after I gave birth. Hence, the 50-or-so pounds I gained, because she cooked all the time!!!! (That sentence didn't make sense, but I don't know how to fix it. :tongue: ) It is a touchy situation, but since they're…

True, but I think it would look AWESOME, like a modern day hippie kind of pinup. I wonder if they would give us a discount if all the MFP women did this...Hmmmmm...

Woo! Good job! Oh...my...gosh...I LOVE hospital cafeteria food. When my son was in the NICU, I would eat there for lunch and dinner and I loved it!!! They had this awesome make your own sandwich bar and I would load up on fresh turkey and whole wheat bread, dijon mustard, and tons of veggies *drool*. I would get a bag of…

The only way I was able to drink water exclusively (which I do now) was to just do it. Even if I hated it, I drank at least 4 of the big jugs that they give you in the hospital of water. When I first started, I made sure it was ICE cold and put about a cup of fruit juice in it just to give it a little taste. I didn't like…

I almost ALWAYS go over my protein. If I have an egg for breakfast and 4 oz of chicken for dinner, I go over my protein. That's not even counting my lunch. When I first started, I was really careful about staying within all my limits of everything, but now I realize that, for me, that's not realistic. I just can't eat the…

I just wanted to add that you really do need to watch your hormones. When I stopped pumping (my son never did latch on so I pumped every three hours for 4 months. bleh.) I fell into a really really deep depression. It had to do with a slight postpartum depression I had, but it really deepened when I stopped making milk.…

I hope I don't get in trouble for this. I don't think it's dirty...at ALL. More...really gross. I think it's a weight loss tool as well. I don't think anybody's going to want to eat after seeing this. :sick:

"You're welcome." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh my GOD, that's hilarious. Thanks for making my day.

Different people say different things. I think that as long as you're working out, you're doing it at the right time.

If you're talking about weight loss motivational books, one that I would really recommend is Secrets of a Former Fat Girl by Lisa Delaney. It really changed my outlook on a lot of things and made me realize that I CAN be who I want to be, because other people have done it too. Here's the website if you want to check it…

I really think it depends on how high you carry. My stretch marks don't go up that high, but my son was a preemie so I didn't carry him full term. I think if he had stayed in there, my stretch marks might go up to my neck!!! BTW: My sternum piece is a spiritual piece as well. How weird. I wonder if that's a common place…
-
OMG, iluvsparkles, I :heart: :heart: :heart: your sternum piece (what I can see of it). I have something drawn out for mine, and I was kind of concerned that it would look stupid, but I really like the way yours looks. Not trying to sound creepy, I just wanted to let you know that I was now psyched to get mine (even though…

I just wanted to put out there that I think you're a beautiful girl. I think it's good that you're aware of your body and want to make it healthier. I'm not sure if this site is particularly for you, because everything is geared a little more towards adults and the ways that they need to lose weight. Please enjoy being a…

Oh, I really wish we had a Trader Joe's. But alas, there isn't one even near enough to us for me to consider driving a couple extra miles. :frown: Oh well. If my local grocery store keeps having sales like this, I'll be a happy camper!!!
-
No, unfortunately I'm here in Illinois. That's probably the reason everything fairly healthy or organic is on sale. If it isn't covered in neon orange cheez type powder, it just isn't popular with most folk here. :bigsmile:

My local grocery store had the following items on clearance today: De Wafelbakker's waffles and pancakes - $1.25 a box. :noway: :noway: We :heart: :heart: :heart: these because they're organic, high in fiber, and very yummy. Fiber One bars - $1 a freaking box!!!!! Are you serious? I cleared out what they had!!! Amy's…

185 calories won't break the bank. Think about how much you were consuming before you started. You're doing great, just keep up the good work. Come back at it tomorrow and stay within your calorie goal. That's all you have to do.

Oh my GOD!!! And the apartment was ridiculous! She didn't want them to spray the millions of cockroaches because her son had asthma. :huh: I understand the fear, but don't you think a cockroach infestation would be way worse for asthma than a little bug spray? (Well, a lot actually, but the reason it got so bad is because…

If you stayed way under your calorie allowance, you're probably hungry!!! Go ahead and eat! Eat until the little number on your food page says 0. It's really important to eat if you want to lose weight. Good luck on your lifestyle change!

Oh my gosh, honey, that's AWFUL!!!! Are there any organizations or churches that you could go to to help with the bills? I know that here in IL if you're behind on your power bill and don't have any money to pay it, there's a place you can go and they'll pay it off for you. I hope there's someplace like that there!!! Is…

I have no idea. I thought that no matter how you cooked them (obviously adding your oil/cooking spray/what have you later) an egg was an egg was an egg. Maybe they're accounting for different sizes???
