I just had my first c-section April 29th, so I am still getting used to all this. Anyone know if there is a group on here for c-section moms?

fitbit.com/user/3F4D3W Got a fitbit flex for Mother's Day. I'm still getting used to it.

I'm sure this got waaaaay off topic but I just wanted to chime in here on the OP. My family and I recently did DNA tests (for genealogical reasons). We also got the health results, which aren't a huge deal, but had some interesting stuff. The thing I found most interesting is both my mom and sister, whom I consider…

5 ft SW: 210 CW: 188 (as of today) 1st goal weight: 150 Ultimate goal weight: I wouldn't have a clue, maybe 130-120??

I would LOVE to join if you still have space! Companion or where ever there is space.

Thanks! It's taking a lot to get use to. I screwed up with the pasta tonight. Apparently you're supposed to measure it dry first and I didn't do that, just made it for my family and took the weight after it was cooked. Oh well, next time. I used one of my toddler's bowls, so I couldn't have been too far over. The scale I…

Yes! Night time eating is my kryptonite. It doesn't help that we eat dinner as a family between 4-6 and I don't roll into bed until 8-10 hours later at 2 am. I basically have another half a day in there I should be eating. But, I can't. If I eat anything passed 8 or 9 I see it, literally, in my face the next morning. I…

I just started recently as well. My first goal is 50 lbs. :)

Thank you for responding. I know I wasn't eating enough many days. Lightheaded, exhausted, sleeping all the time, crabby. One of those people who did it wrong from the start. I dropped 11 lbs the first week and thought that was awesome, but I knew nothing about what I was doing or how to continue properly. I've learned a…

I've done 30DS though not as directed. I tend to lose interest quickly if I have to do the same thing over and over again. I've had it for a few years and haven't tried level 3 (plan to give it a shot soon). I use L 1 or 2 as a filler on days between walking/running, some of the P90X workouts, and other stuff. It's a lot…

You only started a month ago. It could be your hormone levels or like every else said, water retention. Maybe kick it up a notch, switch it up and try something new or maybe jog or run for a couple minutes and build up your time. Yeah, walking isn't making you fat. At worst you're not being honest with yourself and…

1) age: 30's 2) approximate weight: 192 3) physical location: NC 4) activity level: Sedentary/beginning exerciser 5) How often do you exercise: 6-7 days a week 6) Do you eat breakfast: Not often 6) what is your largest meal of the day: Dinner 7) how many times a day do you eat: 2-3 8) how much water do you drink: At least…

This made me laugh. I feel like that often.

Going to throw this out there. They could be new and still trying to figure everything out. Mine is set to 1220 based on the info I entered here. I didn't adjust it because I am still learning and finding what works best for me. I spend most of my day sitting, teaching my kids, so I don't burn nearly as much as a person…

Just wanted to say thanks for coming back and adding more. It was pretty clear from the start there was something else going on. It's also clear you don't intend to leave. Just going by what you've posted so far, you're a young SAHM. I'm assuming you've been down that single mom road before and this guy is your financial…

I wish the OP would come back and fill in all the missing info. I agree with those that said this type of honesty doesn't make someone admirable. He could have been so much more diplomatic and mature. The way he went about it was childish in the least and damaging at most. It showed a lack of respect and doesn't come off…

Hi, I am new to the site and I'm making the rounds on the groups I've just discovered introducing myself. I will be 33 next month. Mom with 3 kids. Trying to do better for them and myself. I look forward to reading all the awesome topics!

I am new here too. I wish you luck!

SW: 210 CW: 195 GW: 150 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (6/01 Sun): ? 6/07 Sat: 195 Total weight lost: 15 lbs This is my first official post, so I'll work up to those other questions. :)

What's up with the "friends" thing? What's the idea behind it? Is having friends better motivation then simply coming on the message boards?

Thanks for the supportive comments. To clarify, because I know it was awfully long and might have been missed, I am not totally cutting out carbs and sugar. Just mostly.
