  • We have some similarities...I lost about 45-50 lbs in the course of 1 1/2 months starting in January of 2014, I got to my goal weight of 130-125 and then was blessed with getting pregnant with my third child in August of 2015... I gained all my weight back lol and my baby boy was born in April of 2016 and in may of 2016 I…
  • I make meals for my family, so when I'm on low carb I still have to prepare for them, so lots of times I do tacos and I use all meat, cheese and toppings on a nice large yummy salad and use hot sauce too...You don't really need any dressing with all the taco toppings but you can always use ranch ;) I find it filling and…
  • I am just under 5'1 and I started at 170 lbs in Jan '14. I am now at 144 and still trying to lose at least another 15 (just to get me into a healthy BMI). I have been eating 1200 cals a day working out 6 days a week, burning at least 200 cals during a workout, I do not eat back my exercise cals. I had some bad days, some…
  • I am giving up Facebook, it causes me to waste to much time on the computer, once I check Facebook I get distracted and start searching the web and wasting time. I am also giving up the scale for Lent (weighing in only on Sundays, b/c these are not days of lent as every Sunday is a celebration of Christ's death and…
  • I have 40 lbs to lose, for the first 20 lbs I plan to reward myself with a jewelry set of my daughters birthday stone, and the second 20 lbs will be a set of my sons birthstone. (I'm a sucker for jewelry and it will be a reminder that I am getting healthy for them!)
  • Hello Ladies! 27 year old mommy of a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 4 month old son! I'm looking to lose at least 30lbs! Really want to lose it in the next two months but I know that's not really realistic! Good Luck to all!
  • I was 24 when I had my first child, I was married at 23. I am pregnant with my second at 26. I have no regrets! I think we both feel that we have not had to give up to much to be great parents. We still have lots of fun with friends and family, and go out for nights on the town. Wouldn't change a thing! Plus I wont be old…
  • I listen to Christmas Music all year round. enough said. :blushing:
  • My husband took me to the restaurant where we first hit things off at.. It is in an older part of town with little shops and brick sidewalks and streets. we were walking up to the restaurant for dinner (nothing special) and he said, "hey look at that" pointing to the ground. I turned and looked and wasn't sure what he was…
  • ehg, I'm so sorry for you, and am sending lots of prayers and well wishes your way.
  • Congrats to all you ladies on your expectant babies! I am about 9 weeks pregnant! Due sometimes between December 10th and the 17th. This will be my second child, I have a daughter who is 19 months old. This pregnancy was a surprise for us as well, but we are happy and excited to welcome a new little one before the year is…
  • I didn't read all the posts, and maybe I'm posting the obvious but...what's wrong with putting their leftovers in the fridge for a quick and easy meal the next day? I love leftovers for my daughter, in fact, I'm a little upset when we don't have dinner leftovers to feed her for tomorrows lunch lol. It doesn't sound like…
  • I make a White Bean Chicken Chili... Throw some frozen chicken breast, northern beans, corn, can of chili tomatoes, and a can of green enchilada sauce in a crock-pot and call it dinner. You can add anything you like, onions, more veggies, use salsa instead of the enchilada sauce. The leftovers are great as quesadillas or…
  • Probably a 5 or so....Started me TOM and was hoping to be pregnant, but on the upside, I love this fall weather we are having in MI and I get to spend my day with my one year old daughter! (as always) and I'm looking forward to a good weekend!
  • You shouldn't have to add any calories to your diet until after the first three months of your pregnancy. That little one doesn't require much in the form of calories before than, it is more about the nutrition the little one is getting...take your supplements and eat right and you shouldn't have a problem....
  • I like Neutrogena Foam, but I really only use tanners on my legs, I am scared to try it anywhere else...But I like the color I get from it and I think the foam makes it easy to rub in and not miss spots. Start with a little and add as needed!
  • I have heard just getting up and moving, i.e. any exercise should help ease the pain of the dreaded TOM.
