CPPeace, the restaurant meal was pretty high in sodium! Saltiest pizza I have ever had in addition to the hot dog from the Halloween TOTing event earlier that day. I felt so badly! I feel like upping calories may be the right thing to do but I'm worried about the results if it was the wrong choice, especially since I feel…

Woah, thanks for the replies ladies (and cwolf)! I'm doing a Salad a Day Challenge this week, so that should help. I will try increasing my calories for this week and see what happens, I really like the idea of trying calorie cycling. I would have to adjust calories on the over days because if I'm over my calories, I feel…

Thanks for the reply! I agree, that makes sense about being dehydrated. Probably a huge part of the problem was feeling like I WAS that weight and having it taken away. I always weigh and measure, but obviously I didn't when we were out to dinner. My estimates and calculations may have been off, but not that much. In order…

I'm in a similar boat. Following : )

Thank you! The information about the relationship between fat and muscle made so much sense and cleared up a ton of confusion! I think I may need to lose more weight first and then work on changing my body once I get there. I was concerned about being too late because I have read a few comments about people regretting not…

Lindustum- Yes! Thank you : ) Frankl27- I chose one activity below what I actually do. I think it was the 3-5 workouts vs the 6-7, although I am a pretty active SAHM in addition to going to the gym M-F working out for an hour at least and burning between 500-700 calories. After my hour of cardio I already do some amount of…

Thank you! I truly appreciate your advice, it has given me some great feedback and insight. Again, thank you for being so supportive and encouraging.

My last baby just turned one and I'm about the same weight I was at when I was full term .... holy crap that was a horrible realization! Thanks a lot babies! I didn't gain much with either baby but I tend to hang on to the weight, although I did have a little bit of weight loss with breastfeeding each girl. I'm on the…

I don't really have much advice to offer but I'm in a similar situation having just started and wanted to let you know that I feel ya! So frustrating! Until two weeks ago I had the activity level of a sloth so the huge changes in diet and exercise seem like they should paying off more quickly than they are, right? Keep…

Thank you : ) You can definitely tell those who are annoyed by newbie/ "easy" answer questions from the truly supportive people!

THANK YOU! When I set it up I did honestly think I had the activity level of a sloth because I didn't exercise, on purpose anyway, but I am moderately active as a SAHM. I do quite a bit of running around now that I think about it. Adjusting my goals now... I still feel like 50 lbs is a long way to go, but again I'm so new…

Thanks for the perspective, it's easy to forget that 6 lbs is still something to be proud of. No, not building muscle. I want to continue to lose a little more before taking on the task of trying to learn and adjust to new information for building muscle. I'm still figuring out the weight loss part : )

The change is just incredible! Awesome job : ) ....off to the gym now!

I'm a 24 year old SAHM with two little girls, 1 and 3. My husband is changing his eating habits and working out along with me 5 days a week, as he's a realtor and has a flexible schedule. We've been at it just over a week. I have been really satisfied even eating significantly less calories than I did before. I feel like…

You look amazing! Great job : )
