I go back wards to give my muscles a break for a minute, it does help but I only do it for about a minute of the entire 45 I am on.

1) Saturdays aren't that hard for me, I get up and have either a pb sandwich or a banana before heading to aerobics class. Then my friend and I normally stop and have subway for lunch, then I still have a lot of calories left for dinner so it's whatever we happen to have. Sunday's however I don't typically even log, we…

It has made me put more into my work out. I have been losing the weight steadily enough for me, a lil more than a lb a week since October, but then over the holidays I had put on almost 5 lbs of my loss so this week I've already lost almost 5 of those 5 lbs, and have been giving class 100% versus 75%. I have also paid…

Didn't read the other posts, but that's the original setting and some don't take the time to figure out how to change things:) I accidentally came across it but didn't see the need to change it :)

So who all is doing good on the water challenge today??? Me I'm failing at it :/

LOL If no one has tried making friends of everyone on their team yet you aren't allowed to friend more than 5 people in a 10 minute time frame :) Also, copying and pasting the names hasn't worked w/all the names on this list so it may take me a day or 2 to accomplish adding you all depending on my kiddos.

http://www.dadamo.com/ This site gives a small snip of what you should/should not eat based on your blood type. I find it accurate in our home. My daughter and husband have a really hard time digesting meat, she doesn't really eat any meat, and he seems to do fine as long as it's chicken or turkey (type A's) they do well…

Name: Sheila Age: 27 SW:229 12 week goal:205 I am a stay at home mom of 2. I started the gym and eating better in October, however the last 3 weeks I've slacked off. I want to change my life and the life of my family forever by making changes in our activity and food choices. Let's challenge each other for a better us :)

145 I have a reunion for the JROTC program I was in in high school that I want to lose weight for. I have accomplished my first 14 lbs so my next is in 6 lbs @ 219.

The more fiber I intake the less likely it is that I can go...so if increasing the fiber isn't helping that could be a problem. I have IBS so it's common to cause constipation, my sons pediatrician put him on miralax every day as well so I'd trust that it would be ok.

Since I'm a stay at home mom I just changed my life style from sedentary to lightly active or whatever the next one is b/c I am constantly cleaning up after someone and didn't ever think about that as being active.

What about keeping fruits in and brown rice? Both keep you full and are healthy carbs :) I also have issues with weight loss when eating carbs, but seems to not be too bad when it's fruit and brown rice and lots and lots of water... HTH

LOL yes see beef jurkey I could get my calories in with and then some :happy: I think another contribution to this weeks downfall was I was thinking about doing the south beach diet, and it cuts out even fruit...so I was trying to see if that was possible...and I guess it is if I only want to eat 900 calories :grumble:

ajbeans ~ thanks I feel dumb when I don't think outside the box to resolve issues, but that will help a lot then maybe we can have conversations versus food being thrown every where during snacks/meals :)

I need the gym for my sanity, I have way more patience then I did before and I am much happier. It's my one of the few adult interactions I have in my life.

I need this^^^^ where do you find the time and discipline, do you do it the night before or for the week ???

Fruit, yogurt, cereal, crackers, animal cookies... by the time I get both of them what each one wants the other is wanting to get down and and then I have a mess to clean up so then I forget that I didn't eat a snack with them, or I take the time that they are stuck at the table to have a breather away from them :/

Also, Obviously I could get calories the easy way, a bowl of ice cream, a cheese burger, drink soda etc, however that's just as unhealthy long term as not meeting my calorie goals. I don't keep this stuff in our house b/c I want to teach my children healthy eating habits, and my biggest wake up call was the day I realized…

My trainer told me just last night to drink my calories. How quickly I have forgotten. Think I will put a note on the fridge so when I look in there and nothing looks good I can fall back on my protein shake :) Thank you !!!

Thank you!

Those are often my go to foods to get my calories, often start w/them as breakfast but guess this week I just haven't thought about it thanks for the reminder!!!

The first week of my decision to change my life for healthier living all I did was start eating breakfast and lost 5 lbs that one week. I don't really like to eat, having my body in starvation for years is actually why I am so heavy, but try breakfast for a week or 2 see if there is a difference, if not then don't worry…

In complete agreement w/KyleB65...Continue to enjoy the foods you love, just in moderation. You said they aren't making you happy, and the more you eat isn't going to change that. Get active, it will help A LOT, the chemicals it releases helps you feel better. I have been in the gym for a little more than 6 weeks now and I…

I have been thinking of this lately as well...What about gathering toys from around the house and making obstacle course for both of you? I have been considering it w/my almost 5 yr old, He has some tube things that we can army crawl thru, stuff we'd have to jump over, then run around a table...He needs the exercise as…

I have talked w/the trainers at my gym, and they say stick w/a 1200-1500 calorie diet period...eat EVERY 3 hrs. Could you have a thyroid issue? Hypoactivethyroidism will prevent you from losing weight, it could also be a iodine deficiency which you can just take supplements for.
