I've learned to stay FAR away from the scale when my stupid Aunt Flo decides to make her monthly uninvited visit! It's just not worth the head trip. When my stomach starts to bloat I skip my weekly weigh-in and just put it out of my mind until it's over.

Because My 5 year old son took it.

I have chronic lower back problems as a result of two pregnancies. My back is in MUCH worse shape than it was when I was 100 pounds heavier than I am now. I am in the best shape of my life but my back just doesn't want to cooperate sometimes. I guess what I'm getting at is try not to be so hard on yourself! Have you…

My thoughts exactly. :happy:

I used to skip breakfast all the time. (I would just drink coffee until about 3pm). I realized that I was starving myself and overeating all at once! I was so hungry by the time the afternoon rolled around that I would totally stuff my face. Of course, this was before MFP and tracking my food intake. Now I have a 100…

I'll take this too! Thanks. At least this way I can legally drink. :smile: (Not even close though).

LOVE YOU!!! :) You're my new best friend. :wink:

Thanks! Bump

I did Weight Watchers online until a friend of mine told me about this site. It is so much less confusing than WW and you can't beat the price! I've been in maintenance mode for almost a year now and I LOVE this site! Welcome and good luck! :)

Dump them like a bad boyfriend! Besides, it's a great excuse to go shopping to get some hot new clothes to go with your hot new bod!

My profile pic was taken this past June. I have a 5 year old and an almost 2 year old. Just keep on keepin' on and you'll get there!

37 here and just saw a friend I hadn't seen since high school this weekend and he gave me the ultimate compliment: "You look fantastic! Even better than when we were in high school!" I'll take it! :happy:

Either don't eat there or try to find a similar restaurant with nutritional info and overestimate the calories just to be safe! An extra work-out the day you plan on eating out wouldn't hurt either! Good luck. :)

When I was still trying to lose I had it set at 1200 and ate back all of my exercise calories (between 300-800 extra per day). Now that I'm in maintenance mode I have it set at 1640 and still eat back my exercise calories so I average about 2000 to 2400 per day.

My children's pediatrician said something to me once that stuck. He said "you determine the type of foods your children eat, they determine the amount." Kids haven't yet developed all the emotional hang ups with food that got us adults to where we are today. I think as long as you take a laid back approach to eating and…

When my son was born five years ago, I started walking with him in the stroller. I lost 60 pounds in 9 months. Now I have 2 kids and get up early and go to a free local boot camp in my area and I jog as well. I've never been crazy about the gym anyway so this works for me! You might want to look into local "MeetUp" groups…

Mushroom omelettes! One of my favorite breakfasts - yummy.

Yep. I know exactly what you're talking about. My day off was yesterday and I felt like I was getting the shakes from inactivity! :smile: I also felt pretty irritable and anxious too. I really think exercise is just another form of addiction (I guess if you're going to be addicted to something this would be one of the best…

My heart broke a little when I read your post. I am so sorry. Brushing it off is easier said than done, even when the hurtful words came from a worthless stranger that you will probably never see again. I too have been there. It happened over 5 years ago and I still think about it from time to time. It was right after I…

Sorry! Just now seeing this. I had maintenance set at sedentary and it put me at 1640. Then I eat back all my exercise calories so on most days I eat around 2000 to 2200. I never thought I could eat that much after being in weight loss mode for so long but I find I need it and I've maintained my weight for about a year…

Good for you! I am completely addicted to my boot camp. I've been doing it for about 18 months. It's awesome to find something you love and can stick to!

marie_vanbent Thank you! You made my day. :-) You're too low, but I'll take it!
