Do you mean ways to work out at work? I have new mom brain and I may not be understanding you right ;) The floor I work on has a sign posted somewhere that says how many laps around the floor makes 1 mile, on night shifts I've tried to lap the floor a couple times, and I also take the stairs from the bottom to the top too,…

I have a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BScN), I am a nurse, but good jobs are hard to come by, it's gratifying but very hard work, working conditions are not the greatest. Katie

This group is great! I'm 5'11 and struggle big time with finding long enough jeans and pretty shoes to fit my bigger feet! I'd love to get down to 170 pounds, which still sounds heavy to shorter people, but on me if gets in in a size 12 and looks fantastic! Katie

I'm in! I spent june losing and gaining the same three pounds, I need July to be much more effective! Katie

I'm also 5'11", but I'm still a "before", I can't wait to be an "after" again! Previouly I went from 220 to 163 in six months time, currently I am 255 hoping to get back to the 170 range by next spring. Seems like it is much harder to accomplish this time around having three kids to keep me crazy, er, I mean busy ;) Katie

I have been blessed with four fantastic children! My daughter is 5.5 and she's wild and funny and fiercly intelligent, she blows my mind, but she's saucy to boot, she's a handful ;) I have twin sons, one who passed away at 20 days old from a collection of very complicated heart defects that were not detected until they…

Hey there! Welcome and good luck! I'm from just a wee bit north of you :) Katie

Though it's interesting, it also creeps me out, I probably wouldn't eat it, but that's just one of my little quirks (the insides of green peppers creep meout too, haha). Katie

Have a snack! Snacks are good, just pick something smart and make sure you count it! Have one in the afternoon too, there's no need to be hungry! Katie

You look great! Congrats! Katie

Here's an article I found on eating healthy at Mexican places :) http://www.livestrong.com/article/84554-eat-mexican-restaurant/ Katie

That's wonderful, congrats to you! Katie

I have been doing a protein shake the past few mornings made with 1/2 a banana and 1/2 cup skim milk, I find it really filling and tasty :) Katie

Great work!! Katie

The Zumba DVD's are $100 here, too pricey for me right now! Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper have some good ones out there :) Katie

Thanks everyone, a walk sounds like a good idea! Katie

Thanks everyone! Perhaps we'll have such a great fundraiser I'll just be too proud and excited to be sad! Katie

Congrats! You look amazing! Katie

Excellent post! Thank you for the encouragement! Katie

Sounds delicious! Katie

You can add me if you like :) I have a 5.5 year old, a 3.5 year old and a 2 month old at home and I have a ton of baby weight to lose too! We can do it! Katie

I've also said the same thing to myself time and time again, so I'm not an expert in staying motivated and getting the job done once and for all. I think accountability helps, so MFP is very useful, having so many encouragers to help keep you on track. I like to think of the shopping trip I'll need to take when I am at my…

Nicely said :) Katie

I knew the loss the first week was water, but I figured as long as I was following the guidelines MFP set out for me that I would lose the 1-2 pounds a week after that, especially since I am moving more and eating less. Katie

Thanks everyone :) I don't intend to quit, I know that won't get me anywhere, but it just gets frustrating, feeling like I am not making steady progress towards my goals. I appreciate the support! Katie

If you all don't mind, I may add you as friends too, we can lose the baby weight together! Katie

I'm in the exact same boat! I lost 13 pounds last week, and actually gained 3 this week! I've been eating better, exercising and chugging water, and I'm getting frustrated too! Katie

Feel free to add me too if you like! I had my last baby 9 weeks ago and am trying to lose the baby weight plus the 85 pounds I needed to lose before the baby weight! Katie

Wow, you look amazing! Great job! Katie
