I'm happy about who I am and the potential I have!

I try not to keep trigger foods in the house. For me these are the cakes and cookies you mentioned. If the kids need a sweet treat I do have light yogurt, fruit snacks or indivually packed servings of serbert. I always have fresh fruit that they like too. If they want cinnamon rolls for breakfast I do bake them, but then I…

Thanks everyone! Has anyone tried Dance Revolution with the mat? How do you like it vs Just Dance?

Weekly weigh ins and monthly measurements. You'll see results.

I think I need an accountablility partner to help me get in the habit of working out in the morning. Seems to be the consensus here. Anyone interested in helping me with this transition. :yawn:

I like to drink hot herbal tea. Mint or fruit flavored. Both help me alot. I also drink water and I try to go to bed within 3-4 hours after eating dinner so that I don't start to feel to hungry. If I start snacking at night after supper I wouldn't stop so I don't.

I appreciate everything you all are saying. I do hike trails and walk the zoo with them on weekends when weather permits and we do spend time together while I'm making food. They do the wii with me and do my workout videos with me sometimes. I guess I need to look at that as our bonding time instead of the snuggling on the…

Old Navy.com. I am heavy and my legs rub together and still have lasted more that 6 months no issues.

You have done so well. Thanks for sharing.

You inspire me so much. Can't wait to get there!

I have a pair of jean capris I wore before my last pregnancy I would love to fit into. Ultimate dream is to fit my size 8 jean mini that I wore before I had kids. That goal seems kind of unrealistic at this point so I'll stick with the capris. :) I do love the walk around nude idea though!

This is a great place with great people. You can friend me if you want.

Just let him know that if you ever did go that route it would be because you wanted to and ask him not to mention it again because right now it offends you.

i agree with the crock pot idea. I also love Jenny-o frozen furkey burger patties. Another fav is eggs and turkey sausage. If I don't have time for these I make a sandwich with a bunch of veggies. And I know what you mean by normal...Something that anyone can cook and doesn't involve dozens of ingredients. I'm the same way.

I go over daily too, because I have fruit with every meal. Don't care. Only looking at calories in, calories out.

Hello all, My name is Candy. :wink:

Right now my go to sweet fix is coffee with splenda or herbal tea (fruit flavored). both have no calories and work pretty well. I also am finding the more fruit and vegetables I eat at each meal the more satisfied I am and the less I crave sweets.

I've been pregnant 4 times Baby 1 gained 60 pounds, lost 50 in 3 months Baby 2 gained 15, lost it in 3 weeks Baby 3 gained 60, lost in in 12 months Baby 4 gained 60, gained 20 more and still trying to lose.

Overeater's Anonymous. Like AA for alcoholics. Same 12 step program.

Inspiring. I want to run a 5k next Spring.

You can add me too. I have 100+ pounds to lose. Good luck to you!

I agree professional help may be necessary, but that waits until 2012 when i have mony in my fsa. thanks for your post though you definately confirmed what i thought, i may be going slightly mad. OA may be a possibity, but I have two kids and no family support to help watch them so I can't get to meetings. I need to get…

Maybe this is what I need to get BOT... SW 271 Goal for Oct 31 266 Self Challenge Track my food 6 days a week

My girls keep me grounded as well. I am so inspired by your success. I just started in June and I am only 4 pounds down so far. Its good to hear successes like yours. Keep it up!

I LOVE coffee, so I am bias. I don't know if it speeds up metabolism, but when I have a chocolate craving at work I can usually drink a cup of coffee with splenda and feel good. I also find that if I have coffee in the morning I tend to not crave sweets until after lunch.

Was 160, but the books say 150 so thats where I set my goal.

don't carb load. you'll feel bloated and yucky. eat normally.

walk, swim and stretch. Eat lost of fruits and veggies when hungry. Be sure to eat your calories back when you exercise, especially when pregnant. Congrats and good luck.

I like to take a women's multivitamin and the viactive calcium chews.

I up my fiber and protein and usually come in under my fat and carbs and hopefully sodium. I LOVE eating my exercise calories back. Thank goodness for those! : ) I just started a couple weeks ago so we'll see.
