Oh lawd. Get ready for WW3! Haha, anytime you mention eating under 1200 a day, people are going to swarm. I think you need to be realistic in what you eat and your exercise regiment to lose weight long term. For me, that meant not giving up pizza, etc but just limiting it. I lost 30 pounds over the course of a year, but I…

THIS. LOL

Wow! First off, congratulations on your growing family! I bet that's fun :-) Secondly, I'm no expert on losing weight after pregnancy, but I imagine your body is trying to level out and play catch up. Stick with what you know and I bet the weight starts dropping.

Awesome!!!! Congrats!

Of course! Yes, I'll divorce him. That's more humane than putting him down from a knee injury - which was the plan. Shhhhhhhh! :-P

I completely understand why you're discouraged. I've been on here for 2 years and I lost 30 lbs. My goal was 35. Then I gained 15 back in the last year. Everyone struggles with losing weight and keeping it off. It can seem overwhelming that the scale isn't moving when there are so many success stories on here. Let them…

I guess I was just thinking someone might have been through something similar and have some brilliant, creative activity to add to the mix. I didn't realize the question was so hard or that people would zero in on me having a husband as a workout partner and that being such a horrible thing. I'd change the original post to…

Piggyback it is! I can get my weight training, cardio, bonding time and CODEPENDENCE all in one workout! BOOM. :-)

I naively expected helpful suggestions, not random responses. Ah, to be wrong.

Thank you! I think I'll try that this week. We'll see if anyone complains about an elephant in the apartment over them :-)

I'm asking for suggestions on individual workouts because I haven't had to go solo for 10 years. Does that make me sound helpless or laughable? I think it makes me lucky.

Ha ha, I haven't gone man to man all my life looking for a steady workout partner. I used to do yoga, karate, run and lift weights. I also used to work at a gym where all that was free! I'd love to do it again, but I don't have the money for it now.

Uh, no excuses. That's kind of why I'm asking for suggestions.

Bwaaahaaahaa! I knew it. *shakes fist*

Awww! :-)

I don't know? I've never tried any home DVDs. Any specific ones you would recommend?

You know, I used to run all the time, but it got really boring, so I stopped. I guess I could pick it up again and see if I feel differently now? I don't know. BTW, LOL to your response on this post!

My SIL loves that! I should try it! I'm not an awesome dancer, so I never thought much about doing it - especially in public. Do you go to a class or do DVDs?

I miss having a cat. :-(

Welcome! Hope you hit your goals!

WHOA. You are tiny! Wish I had looked like you at 165 lbs!

Good luck! By the way, I LOVE that dress!

Where is Gabon?! That's where it said I belong.

UGH, I am! I felt like garbage all day Wednesday and Thursday. I feel much better today now that my fever is gone. I haven't been sick in over 2 years. Hope you feel better soon, too!

UM, WOW! I seriously thought you ganked someone else's photos for your before shots. You are gorgeous. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Don't be a douche bag by mentioning her body parts.

I deleted mine a year ago. It's awesome.

I have that black and white dress!! I don't look as good in it as you do, though. Congrats!!

Mine too! Thank God for bearded men :-)

WHOA.
