i'm up...but I have an excuse...I work nights....wish i was sleeping though! My sleep patterns are a total disaster!

3 C-sections later, I, as many of you, have the dreaded kangaroo pouch. So far not much change in it, but hoping i will get some results like the ladies on this thread. Maybe there is hope! I don't believe it will ever be FLAT but I am hoping for drastically improved!

take some fresh strawberries add a little sweetner, sugar etc and smash them, then put it on top! yum Wish I could eat pancakes...oh well!

my husband is a personal trainer and before I was with him I had worked out with several. This what I know...they push you more than you could ever push yourself. They get you to do things you otherwise would not have considered trying and make you good at it. I am stronger and leaner than most people because my routine is…

Well...since I think I finally found what is gonna work for me I will share my experience so far... I have been focused, driven and on task fully with this since the end of September. By that I mean I have not been overindulging, make excuses or looking for ways out like I used to. I truly was ready to get this weight off…

Form and knowledge are definately crucial! Most gyms are introductory sessions with trainers if you cannot afford one. I highly recommend trainers. Crossfit is also a great option. You definately need to build up. You don't want to deadlift or squat unless you know the proper form, you could really hurt yourself. But…

To no longer be a plus size...accomplished To be in a single digit clothing size To wear a sun dress and shorts for the first time in probably ten years!

So far I am very happy with my choice to do this. I have had no problem adapting. I still have my morning coffee too and started using almond milk, I do miss regular skim milk though. I am trying to achieve this with my kids too, so far that is a work in progress, but they are also very lean and could stand to gain some…

Thanks for all your responses!! Most helpful. I am gonna give the no dairy thing a shot for 30 days and then see how I do adding it back in a little. I never used it excessively to begin with. I definately believe the grains, sugar and starchy carbs and the issue for my body, I just don't handle them well. I completely…

SO...try it with the peanut butter. It won't be 100%, but not far off...worth a shot.

As far as I know you can have coffee, just not the sugar or creamers in it. So I am trying using almond milk. Its not the same but I am trying it out. I understand not being able to give that up...I work night shift, and it is not an option for me!

I found that a bit ago...that is great...I joined. Thanks for the info...congrats on getting to goal.

I feel your pain! I am stuck at about the same spot as you. I have upped my calories, lowered my calories, ate my exercise calories back, ate only half back, tweaked the things I have been eating, and still stalled! I am losing at an extremely slow rate...very frustrating. I hope you figure out your issue.

personally I am eating high lean protein, low STARCHY carbs and good fats (i.e. nuts, peanut butter, olive oil etc) I am not avoiding all carbs, just starchy carbs. I am eating veggies, fruits, and carbs from dairy (but kinda limiting those). I feel awesome! I have great energy, lots of power for my workouts. I am doing…

I have the opposite problem, loosing inches but not much weight.

My calorie goal before exercise is 1390...and I have been losing significant inches...so I guess I should stop worrying!

Thanks everyone...I guess a few words of encouragement every once in a while does make you realize you are on the right track. I am just about to hit onderland and I am really itching for it! only 1.6 pounds to go!

It seems like I see everyone losing weight at a much faster pace. I have a total of about 60 more lbs to lose, I am not exactly at the end of my weight loss...and I have not once had a High loss week. I guess I am just envious of the losses I see others having consistently weekly that are much higher.

49ers all the way!!! But I am a SF girl! It's their year!! They want it....and so do I !!!

you can send me some of your green beans! LOL They are expenisve here right now and are my fav veggie!!

I am so with you there!! I work nights...7p-7a. Boredom snacking is my down fall. I am also on the west coast! We have basically the same stats too! Glad you found me and added me!

LOL...love the side note!

how many servings does that make?

I am just wondering how many forums you can post on negatively Rachel...this is absurd!!! shut up already

so basically you like to talk in circles, post crap and lie on your profile and see who you can get worked up. I personally am not on this site for this purpose. I am here to get in shape, meet people with similar goals and exchange GOOD information with people. Have a nice day

christina I noticed your profile says that you do cheerleading, and you don't believe there is a risk of injury when you get thrown into the air?? I am pretty sure I can find some statistics about people getting injured doing that. Severe injuries like paralysis and death from landing on their head and neck.

To each his own on what style workouts you like to do and get results from but, getting kind of tired of people bagging on things they HAVE NEVER TRIED!!! It's called pushing yourself people, trying to do something you couldn't do before. If you are not into that, they stop talking and do your little treadmill or what…

I am with you there on not being a traditional gym person. Love Kickboxing, kenpo and crossfit style circuit. Hate machines! so boring! Besides I really think when you are doing those kind of workouts when you lose you look so much more tone! You look awesome! Can't wait!

This forum is about helping people. Some people however have to start an argument on every forum. Sorry! I would tell you that if it is something out of your norm log it. I spent an entire day one day rearranging furniture, building furniture and cleaning, I logged that. But I don't log my daily cleaning.

OH sorry this was to jmehere....
