This lol! I have 5 kids too! I would love to go out alone somewhere quiet with a book and a fireplace :)

You guys are the cutest couple ever!!! I love that blue bathing suit super cute!!!!

Oh my gosh, that is horrible!

My hubby kept telling me our scale at home was way off, I finally went out and bought a new one this week, and he was right it was off by 7 pounds, I was so bummed, I was feeling really awesome for awhile there until I realized I weighed 7 pounds more than I thought :( but oh well, I still lost 10 pounds, I was just…

You look great! I start day 11 tomorrow, hoping my results are as good as yours :smile:

I agree! I have been wearing the flex and I have noticed a few things, 1. It's great, but by no means replaces a heart rate monitor. 2. Sometimes its calories burned seem way off, in fact I believe it underestimates them greatly on my part (but I'm ok with that) 3. You can definitely not rely on it if you want to eat all…

My husband was telling me a story a few months ago about a woman at the gym that is very overweight, she wears a shirt occasionally that says "If I can do it, so can you" I think about that when I'm running, and I know it inspires him to work out harder too, I wonder if she knows that she is inspiring the rest of the gym…

Congratulations!!! By the way the blazer looks fantastic on you!

I had this same question :smile: So let me see if I have this correct, if someone could tell me. I only put in my food on mfp, I run 30 minutes and do not post that on mfp, I let my fitbit take care of the calories for that, the extra calories it gives me throughout the day for the amount of exercise I do can be eaten back…

I use coconut oil daily and also oil pull with it, I have not gained any weight at all since I have been using it (aprox 2 months) I do not think even if it is absorbed into your bloodstream that it would have any affect on your weight (even if you bathed in it) :laugh:

I have been on Zoloft for around 10 years on and off due to PPD. I don't think the medicine has affected my weight, although I have read studies that say it can, My doctor always assured me that with proper diet and exercise, weight gain should not be a problem. I have tried numerous times to get off of my medication only…

Honestly I am so glad you started this thread, I am totally addicted to cottage cheese. I love the idea of having it as dessert. I usually cut up a tomato and have it with some low fat pita chips for lunch. That dip sounds fab

Thats awesome!!! I also have a fifth grader in a school in the Chicago suburbs, they do the wax museum as well, although ours isn't until later in the year :smile:

You can add me! I just joined also and am looking for some motivating friends as well!

I had my last baby 4 years ago, does this count? Ha! Probably not, but I am still trying to lose the baby weight ::embarassed: I am new to the site also and you are welcome to add me, even though I technically am not considered post partum

Thank you! Exactly! I had a co-worker when i was 8 mths pregnant and eating a snickers bar ask me if I really needed to eat that. I just nodded and said Yep! If you didn't ask for their advice they shouldn't be giving it. Sounds like a couple of bullies to me.

I just ordered my fitbit yesterday in hopes to step it up a bit! It looks as if we are looking to lose around the same amount too, feel free to add me if you like and everyone else as well. I could also use the extra motivation!!!

I grew up on a farm and we had tons of chickens! Its too bad I live in suburbia now, I always tell my husband and kids I would love to have a little chicken house and some really cool unusual chickens! Fresh eggs are the best! My neighbors might report me to the village if I set one up in our backyard now though :wink: so…

I run with music too, can't imagine running without :) I do have a friend who is an avid marathoner and he runs on the last leg of his marathons with music, he says it's sort of a treat to yourself and an incentive to hit those last miles. I have tried this even though I consider 6-7 miles a long run lol, I can't do it.…

I am also new and a stay at home mom of 5 although I do not homeschool, but would have loved to :) I would like to have some friends that can keep me motivated also I have around 25 pounds to lose and was working towards that well for quite some time, I run 3-4 times a week, but took 4 months off of exercise only to gain…

I totally agree with the OP when I get a craving for something junky I make myself a cup of tea instead. My favorite is Twinings french vanilla chai, but I also love some of the Celestial seasonings, their black cherry berry is the best and great before bed because it is caffeine free. I buy the sleepytime grape from…
