I'm a mom, in a serious relationship, work FT and have three children aged 6, 5 and 10 months. Its been hard. I havent been ablet o get SERIOUS about my efforts until now. What is working for me is to wake up at 5:15 and workout then. Sometimes, I walk on my breaks and then I workout (play) with the kids while dinner is…

Fake foods stall weight loss.

I sautee mine in EVOO, garlic chunks and salt and pepper. I love it crunchy, so I only sautee til its just heated. MMM MMM!!

LOL! I love this post!

Awesome!! I hope this works for me as well.

COLOR ME INSPIRED!! Great job!

How do you feel about spanking your child? I prefer not to, as they are quite capable of understanding language and condequences of their actions. However, there are times when I will. Do you feel that it's an apropriate punishment in this day and age? It depends on the situation. Spankings are not teaching tools (as my…

YES!! This is not scientific by any means...but when I lost weight last year (about 30 lbs.) I didn't drink for the first 6 weeks. I lost weight FAST AND STEADILY. When I added an occasional glass of wine (even within my caloric allotment) the weight loss slowed. Once I added liquor, it seemed to stall it. Like, even if I…

You look amazing!! GREAT JOB!

Windy!!! Thank you for my laugh of the DAY!!!

I do, and my weight loss (or lack thereof reflects that) When I eat clean and have a cheat moment, as opposed to having a cheat weekend, I actually lose weight...and regularly. Sigh.

WOW!! You did great! You and your family are beautiful!! :) Color me super excited for you!

Awesome!!!

sauteed veggies and garlic. Any kind really.

Thats AWESOME!!

1) My silhouette 2) My height 3) And MOST of all, My body's resilience. Even after years of constant abuse and back and forth 'dieting', it has maintained great shape and tone and still responds quickly to love!

How are you all adding two tickers to your posts?

Beautiful Progress!! Congratulations!

I'm going for 42 miles next month!!

I am a binger as well, and it doesnt take much for me to resort to old ways. My last binge was simply because I really liked what I cooked...so I ate more and more really fast until I couldn't anymore. I rebounded from that about two days later, because thats not EVER goign to get me to my goal. And my goal is GOING to be…

Just look at the bright side...one day you will BE one of these people! The kind of person that will NOT allow excuses, no matter how valid they seem. The kind of person who can look at a situation, unemotionally, spot the problem and set plans in place to fix it. The kind of person that holds no punches about…

I can only speak for me. When I ingest alcohol, my weight loss slows dramatically!

Yep I do. NO advice, as I've not conquered this yet. Good luck.

Celieigh, I LOVE your response. How wonderfully insightful.

My current go-to is sauteed frozen mixed veggies. I don't just buy the mixes, which are always too sparse for me. I get the frozen spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, regular mushrooms and frozen shrimp or fish and sautee them in the skillet w ith olive oil and garlic. The veggies are so low in calories that you can…

I don't mind having them every once in a while. Matter of fact, just yesterday I sauteed half a potato in with my mixed veggies! Its a way to get the potato fix and with half the calories. :)

Also try a multi-vitamin. When your body is missing vital micro nutrients it will stimulate you to still intake food in an effort to get what it needs. So even if full, you may be malnourished and your beautiful body is letting you know by continuing to 'need' food intake.

I eat lots of frozen veggies. I sautee them with olive oil and big chunks of garlic and I can eat like two cups of it to bulk up the amount of food that I eat without bulking up my caloric intake. Good luck!

Well, I am on and off the wagon so I'm learning that while moderation is definitely the goal, some foods I MUST restrict until I gain greater control over myself. Luckily, I really DO like most of the foods that I eat and when I eat in a balanced way, my cravings are controllable with simple logic.
