Hello. I am a married mother of 4 kids all 5 or younger. I am done with the baby making now and ready to get my body back.

I have had issues with this for most of my life as well. My mother in law started buying me large bags of chia seeds and hemp seeds. I add them to my oatmeal in the morning and have not had a problem since. Fiber suppliments always made me clog up wprse so this is super easy, yummy, and works like a charm. She buys them in…

My husband just bought a snow blower but I still prefer to shovel for that very reason.

Sure if is just as frineds lol NIcesmile

Tough

Wow. You look amazing. Keep it up girl. It is nice to read stories like this to give myself that boost of inspiration.

You look great. Keep up the good work.

This was good timing for me to see. I am also 5'4 and in a size 18. I was doing really well for a while and dropped to a 12. Then we moved across the country and it did not take long of living out of hotels, eating fast food, and not hitting the gym for it to all go back on. So here I am, starting over now that we are…

FAIL The closet place that carries it in my area is 2.5 hrs away.

That's like the whole using food as a bribe for a child to behave how a parent wants them to. Treats should never be used like that. I agree that not just the child obesity epidemic but a lot of other child related issues as well would be far improved upon if parents to be were required to take classes on parenting and all…

I wish I could remember the recipe that my mother in law told me. It was unique lol. It called for peanut butter. It was good but different lol.

It may seem more expensive to buy the healthier stuff but in reality you get more bang for your buck buying the good stuff and cooking for yourself. Five dollars will get you one meal at a burger joint but think of how much produce you can get for that. And hello, farmers markets are super cheap and full of awesome good…

Welcome. Glad to have yet another excited person on board. Best of luck to you in your weight loss journey.

I love all fresh veggies in salads. My new favorite not salad veggie though is spaghetti squash. Even my boys love it. It is so easy to make and because it is one of the high water veggies you fill up on far less calories than eating regular spaghetti.

hey I know I have been gone a while but I was off fighting an infection. I am back up and moving now and hope to keep up better. If I am still accepted here after my disapearance I would like to say that my current weight is 210.

weighing in starting weight: 211 goal weight: 150

Ok so you have an advantage because you actually burn more calories from breast feeding. I dropped a ton of weight when I could breast feed by just eating healthy whole foods and drinking a ton of water. Good luck.

I hope it is ok to post late tomorrow. I don't get off work to have access to a computer until after 8pm. My boss took away our computer access because too many people were abusing it for stupid stuff like watching movies instead of working. Maybe I can sneak on before she comes in in the morning. Let's hope the hotel…

cool, count me in

Yeah, I would wear one. I have major stretch marks from carrying twins. I have been using Mederma. I saw in an ad that they now make a Mederma specifically for stretch marks sold in walgreens but my walgreens does not carry it yet...bummer!

count me in too.

congrats! Keep it up!

It happens to everyone and YES you CAN get back on track. Remember that is feels way better to buy smaller jeans than to go nuts and over eat. I have a hard time cutting back sometimes too. I like to say that there is a skinny girl inside of me but I can shut her up with cookies..lol. I believe in you girl. Just don't…

Yesterday I put Chicken breast in with one jar of Italian dressing and fresh onions, peppers, mushrooms, celery, and some spices. I ate it with brown rice and it was soooo yummy.

1. I am a very loyal friend 2. I am a really good mom to my twin boys 3. I have strong healthy morals that i stand by I tend to be a bit selfish sometimes and it actually has started to wreck my marrage. I never noticed until my husband pointed it out.

Wow...you are tall...lol

i had no choice but to eat drive-thru food once last week. I went as healthy as I could and got the chicken sandwich. It made me so nauseous that I could not even finish it. gross. So I know how you feel

Welcome. This site really is amazing. It has so much helpful information and a ton of friendly people with great advise tips and encouraging words. I wish you all the best in your weight loss goals.

Good for you on your fresh start. I found that visual stimulation works well for me so I glued to a piece of paper a picture of me at my heaviest and me at my best and put a note above it in bold black letters that says " It is NOT impossible!" I posted it on the fridge where I have to look at that every time I open the…
