YUM!!!!!

The biggest tip or pointer that works for me is simply to TRACK EVERYTHING I EAT! If I track, I am so conscious of calories and I lose. If I don't track then I stray from my plan and don't see results. So if you eat it, write it!

Lost all my baby weight within my daughter's first year of life...and SURPRISE baby # 2 is on it's way!

Nor do we all have the time to sit on MFP all day and read old posts! If you can post your question and come back later with answers...just makes it easier.

I prefer the middles and always save the best bite for last! I also tend to shake most things before eating/drinking - milk, juice, condiments, etc, even if they don't need shaking! Oh yeah - and before it passes the lips it MUST pass the smell test!

I agree with the above posters...it sounds like you are very aware of what the problem was and how your reaction was unhealthy. It sounds like a win to me because right away you were able to acknowledge your disordered thinking and create a solution to make it better. ( At least at 1 am ;)

You can lose weight by eating right and not exercising at all. You can't lose weight by eating terrible and exercising a bunch. Make sure the nutrition part is right and then GIVE IT TIME. It takes time for your body to adjust to reduced calories and to realize it can start letting go of the stored energy (fat). It doesn't…

I am a mom of a little one and was thinking about what I would do in this situation. First I would make sure my daughter and I are exercising and playing together each day so she gets the recommended 1 hr of activity that kids are supposed to. Secondly, 12 years old is plenty old enough to begin to learn about nutrition…

I :heart: Pedometers! I wear one everyday and have for about 4 years now. I have literally gone through about 15 so far because I always accidently wash them. Right now I am using a New Balance Via Slim that I bought from Target for about $23. I love this pedometer. It is so slim and small that it just fits into my pocket.…

Our family get together's usually revolve around food also and it's generally not the healthiest choices. According to my family members, canned veggies and white potatoes are a great source of veggies. But those are their choices, not mine. If I go to their house I expect to eat like this or to have these choices be…

I am usually pretty good with words and spelling but didn't realize this one! thanks for pointing it out.

Irregardless is one of mine. Here is a short story from a friend who works in a game store. Mom and child are in game store looking at different items. Child says to mom "Mom, look at these 2 dices! They are so pretty!" Mom says to child "Honey, it's not called dices, its called a pair of dice!" Hmmmm...where I grew up it…

I have always heard this is incorrect also. 200 calories at night is going to be the same as 200 at lunch or breakfast. If it is over your total intake, you won't lose. If it is under your intake goal...you will!

One our our quick easy meals is to make wraps with some low cal tortillas...usually chicken and loads of veggies! Another idea is to use the crock pot. If you can plan the meal the night before...even prep and put the crock in the fridge then just pop it in and turn it on in the morning! I would love to hear more ideas…

For me it has been cereal! I love cereal but my portions were way out of control compared to the serving sizes on the box. Since my servings were about double what it says on the box...I certainly was taking in way too many calories!

Haha! you could put it in a bowl and add a piece of lettuce and call it a salad! :wink:

I am in as well! Fall is such a great time for outdoor exercise...not too hot and not too wet! :)

thank you!

You look great! You can especially see the loss in your face! WTG!

Before having my baby girl 11 months ago, I was probably the most anti c-section person that I know! My pregnancy was a tough one and I was on bed rest from week 28-36 because they thought I was at risk for pre-mature labor. I had ultrasounds and fetal monitoring weekly as well as fetal fibronectin tests to confirm whether…
