just bumping in case anyone else ?

Yes, it's not just my husband...kids too. I have an 11 yr old boy, 9 yr old girl, 7 yr old boy, 3 yr old girl.. While I try to encourage healthy choices for them too...it's not fair or practical to keep it all out for them Especially because they are extremely picky eaters.

Thank you, it helps knowing other people struggle with this. Suggestions from someone who is in this problem with me are helpful.

Thank you! That is one thing I'm trying to avoid. I have big babies (all over 9 pounds) and last time I had to have a csection. So I am trying to not go overboard on weight gain because all it does is complicate things further as you mentioned. Yes, it is anything with sugar, flour, candy, cereals, bready things, you name…

I'm not sure if you're being serious or joking but I have actually considered this. Is there a certain type of therapist who deals with food issues specifically? I'm not sure any regular counselor would understand. I wish there were actual groups for it or something to help organically (the way methodone helps a drug…

No one? :-(

Yes! I'm pregnant now. I asked the same question awhile back and there were tons of pregnant ladies on here. :-)

wow! Glad to see all the responces. I had lost 105 pounds and then right before getting pregnant I had been slacking and had gained 10 back. Now since getting pregnant I have gained another 10. I'm not sure why...other than that my body always seems to go into ultra pregnant mode from the beginning! LOL. This is my 5th…

I have breastfed all my kids (extended past 2 yrs) and never lost weight while doing it. I say, don't eat those extra BF calories, I'm no doctor, but all it did was make me gain. I have found what matters most is liquid intake. The more water you take in, the more milk you make. Dehydration always means a drop in milk…

Thank you so much for all the advice and experiences! I think for now I will save my money. Maybe I'll see what I can find for FREE about it online. lol

Body bugg for me too! Love it.

I just went to a nutrition class last week. The nutritionist said you should eat something of carbs like fruit, whole grains right before working out. Save the protein for just after. She said your body won't break down the protein/fats in time to use it for exercise energy. It will sit in your stomach too long. Carbs…

there is an online zumba calorie calculator... google it... also I have used the high impact aerobic option here on MFP and checked it with my body bugg.. seems pretty accurate.

I use the store brand, generic powder creamer...french vanilla sugar free. Its the same as teh coffee mate, but cheaper!

I just restarted it this week. I started on Jan 1st, did good for a week, then fell off the wagon. I definitely feel more energetic without all the sugar, so I'm giving it another try! I'm on day 3 I think.

everyday, full daily dose in my morning coffee. Not sure if it really helps on my regularity..but at least I know I"m getting my fiber in.

HAHA same here! It is my worst enemy! And I have to keep it in my cabinet because my extra-picky 6 yr old loves it!

Whoot!!

If you are EXCLUSIVELY breastfeeding, allow 500 extra calories. As soon as your baby is eating other foods, taking a bottle, anything that takes away from your breastfeeding... you can use regular calories.

I've been trying it here and there, I just started this month. I only take it if I know I'm eating more than 13 fat gr in a sitting. I don't know if it's helping with weight loss at all, but I haven't had any adverse side effects or anything.

I've lost about 100 pounds, so when people haven't seen me for awhile they are always shocked and comment. Usually I don't mind, but the WORST one was when a lady said "OMG you look great..how much weight have you lost?" And I said "well actually, i've lost 100 pounds" and she says...... wait for it.... "OMG how does…

I just want to say that you are not alone. Late night eating is my major problem too. It doesn't matter what "rules" I set for myself. sometimes I will do awsome all day...then totally blow it right before bed. So lately I've been trying to schedule my evenings more. Like exercise, bath, go straight to bed. sometimes it…

I'm in! Where will we post updates and such? I actually just started this 2 days ago. I'm following the south beach diet approach to it for now. :-)

I love zumba. It's the only workout I actually LIKE. I haven't tried the dvds, but I have gone to several different classes on a regular basis. I have a body bugg, so it is the most accuate calorie tracker out there. I work my butt off! And I have never burned anywhere near 1000 calories. On average I burn just under 500.…

Lapband in no way is easy. I had it done in 07 and it caused me tons of complications. I had to have mine removed. I lost an initial 40 pounds from it, but then I gained it all back. I now have vertical sleeve.. anyone who thinks WLS is an easy way out is very ill informed . feel free to add me.

ugh..why does it do that to me..what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for starting this thread. Starting weight 260, then the next 2 pics are at 10-10 /12 months later at 160 in Oct 2011. I've been stuck there for almost 2 mo! LOL
