I gave up wine :s And am adding not missing Sunday mass during Lent and working on memorizing prayers with our kids every night before dinner. I think a lot of people use the Lenten season as a diet, and that's okay -- whatever makes you happy!, but we usually try to focus more on the spiritual aspect of it.

I am! But I eat back my workout calories so it averages about 1500

Hello! I am enjoying these monthly challenges. September went well! I started September at 135 and ended at 131. Today I was 130.8, so we will say 131. CW: 131 October goal: 125 Ultimate goal: 120. So I plan to run every day, salads for lunch and no afternoon snacking. And I am planning on giving up wine for October! :o

I'm 5'8, 133. I'd like to get into the 120s by October. I'm pretty good all week and totally blow it on the weekends! Ugh!

Hello! I could also use more friends! I'm a daily runner (3 to 5 miles) but don't really do any workout other than that. I've tried to get into lifting or yoga but it's so BORING I'm 5'8, and 34 years old. High weight: 160 while pregnant Current weight: 133 Goal weight: 125 Ultimate goal weight: 118

Do you like vinegar? Then by all means, drink it. If you don't, then avoid it. Either way, it won't have any bearing on your weight loss whatsoever.

I love this! No advice, but it looks like a lot of it could be purchased and customized with a trip to hobby lobby. I can't wait to see what you come up with

I totally do this and I'm glad I'm not the only one because I doubt I'd have ever admitted it. I'm a legend in my own mind when I run. Usually a completely badass hero of some sort saving the day :) My mind wanders with whatever book I happen to be reading, like Katniss, or whatever zombie thriller. And Runner 5, of…

Rats, Ihate that iI missed it. Ravenclaw wait list please! But I'll take Slytherin and rock that, too ;)

I'm 5'8, currently a size 6 at 135. I have about 10 pounds of baby weight to lose, putting me at 125, a size 4.

This thread makes me even more grateful and appreciative for my husband. My husband and I both work, but I have nothing but respect for the sheer and overwhelming workload that a SAHM takes on. I could never do it. In addition to a workday that never ends and no time to yourself, you have to put up with the fact that your…

The best (serious) marriage advice I've ever read was this: http://lydianetzer.blogspot.com/2012/04/15-ways-to-stay-married-for-15-years.html?m=1 Those, and don't nag. If you want something done, do it yourself.

I came to the same sad conclusion this week. Even if it fit within my calories, it was stalling my weight loss. So farewell for now, red wine. Till we meet again.

My husband and I both drink shakes in the morning. I prefer a morning shake to sitting down and eating. My husband drinks a scoop of Isopure protein powder and Nutrabolics Athlete's Food mixed with almond milk, and I'll just have the protein powder. For the same amount of calories it keeps me fuller until lunch than a…

Ooooh I am a plain Greek yogurt fanatic, and will be sure to try that! It sounds like lemon meringue pie. I mix mine with a scoop of protein powder and a little agave nectar. Sometimes with PB2. I could live off greek yogurt.

Great words! Thank you!:heart:

Oh my goodness, you look amazing! Congratulations on all your hard work paying off!

During my first pregnancy I relied heavily on the Babycenter.com birth group. But this isn't my first rodeo, and I know what to expect with pregnancy milestones. That website seems to be more what you are looking for. This is a health, diet and fitness website, so our pregnancy topics will generally focus on those…

I still get my hair done. Hairdressers have babies all the time, right? But seriously, your hair can do crazy things. Last pregnancy I went to my normal hair chick for my normal color, and it turned my hair gray. Like, zombie gray. Not a great look.

I just use my regular Philosophy facewash with my clarisonic, but I also scrub my belly and use Bella B's Tummy Honey Butter. Never too early to start, and I used this throughout my last pregnancy and didn't get stretchmarks.

I just saw the Firefly movie for the first time last night and thought it was fantastic (and sad). Another vote for Firefly. So amazing.

Immodium the night before a race. Also, I do my running on a golf course, which is awesome because not only do I not have to avoid cars, but there are bathrooms, port-a-potties and water. Awesome!

The under the belly won't stay up on me! I need the over the belly to keep from having to hitch my britches up all day.

When I check out of the hospital with a baby, my husband is checking in for a vasectomy :) I did Mirena after my last child and had it taken out a year later. I had terrible problems with it.

Think about investing into Shaun T's Focus T25 workout. It is only 25 minutes long, and though it is new, I hear good things about it. I know how hard it is to carve out any time for yourself, so maybe early in the morning or late in the afternoon while the baby is sleeping.

I'm six weeks and lost a pound but I'm sure it's just water weight

I have "I'm expecting" on Android, which I don't care for. I will get the babycenter one and let get back to you guys

I'm also due march 14! I gain 40 pounds my first pregnancy, starting at 120. I'm starting at 128 this time and am aiming for a healthier weight gain of 25 to 30 pounds. I run about 3 miles a day and lift weights a few days a week.

Beautiful story, and congratulations on your progress. You should be so proud.

My husband and I are trying for baby #2. I love running, though I seem to have the only doctor on the planet that says no running. He says that with the elastin or whatever in your body, you are more likely to injure your joints. That said, I ran through the second trimester with my first baby, then just walked. I walked…
