  • Marriage sucks, and it's hard. But it's also amazing and wonderful. It has lots of ups and downs. And people give up to easily on marriages now a days. But on the flip side, people stay in really bad ones too. I think it's all your state of mind. Only you know if you are ready to be married or not... but I was with my…
  • I hardly ever wear make-up... I may put on some mascara here or there... but unless I have somewhere special I am going or want to look nice I don't wear it. On the flip side... I do wish I cared more about not leaving the house without make up / my hair done. I always make sure I look decent, and my hair is brushed... but…
  • I think you have a right to be upset... but your dad probably just had higher aspirations for you then any of his other children. And maybe he is a little disappointed (not saying he is right to be) but maybe since he raised you, he dreamed of you taking over the business and such. That's why it is not a big deal that his…
  • When is the last time you changed your scale batteries? Losing a pound a day is hard at my weight, let alone at 188ish. I would think the scales needs new batteries. But a lot of food in Europe is a whole lot less processed then food here in North America... it's possible maybe your body is just readjusting to all the…
  • I agree with a nursing frenzy... drink lots of water and up your calories a bit to help move it along. Were you taking fenugreek correctly? Three tablets three times a day? If that didn't work try upping it to 4 three times a day. But it takes a few days, so your growth spurt would be over / supply up by then.
  • Have you tried chewing gum? But I agree... if you can't go without eating save some calories for it. I always save 200 calories so I can have a snack after I have the kids in bed.
  • My supply dipped a little when I started dieting... I did fenugreek for two weeks until it was back up. Takes a few days to start working, and then some women say that their supply goes down again after not taking fenugreek, but never happened for me. Been dieting for a month now, and haven't had any other issues. But I do…
  • I am breastfeeding my 3 month old right now.... I supplement one 4oz bottle a day sometimes more sometimes less. I give myself 300 calories extra. But since you are exclusively, I would give yourself 500... when you log breakfast every day type in breastfeeding and the option will come up... it will give you an extra…
  • You can do it! Just make little lifestyle changes so you don't get overwhelmed and quit. I too am a couch potato, and I don't go to the gym yet (plan to in a few months when my newborn is a bit older). So I just scrub my house clean every day. It makes me feel accomplished that I have a neat and tidy house. Shows me…
  • I am currently breastfeeding... my baby is almost two months. I JUST started dieting this week... but I have been playing with my numbers each day and weighing myself to see what works. If you eat to little you store more fat, if you eat to much you won't lose... you should really play with it until you find a calorie…
  • I just joined today too. Trying to lose 100 lb by May 2015... but I probably have another 50 to go after (ugh) but small goals first. Right now I am just trying to *average* 1.5 lb a week. Feel free to add me :)
