  • Gotta jump in here. I'm a Lactation Consultant and I've seen every type of breast on every type of woman imaginable. You know what? They're all beautiful! Truth is, women are beautiful! We were created in an amazing way. Learn to love yourself the way you are now. When the way you are now changes, learn to love yourself…
    in Breasts or fat?? Comment by jmmsunshine June 2012
  • Thanks for the suggestions - clearly I must be miscalculating something so I'll need to start paying better attention and leaving a bigger margin. The exercise is paying off in that I feel stronger, am less winded, and definitely more flexible. Guess that's the hard part - "feeling" better only to get on the scale and see…
    in REALLY?? What the heck is going on? Comment by jmmsunshine June 2012
  • OK - I just love this one!! Seriously, if this were a club gym with lots of people, I'd say ignore him but stay on guard. But you're in a potentially scary situation where you're alone with this guy. Don't ignore your instincts - as women, we tend to ignore our instincts and worry about being "rude." I'd rather be a live…

  • Eat the majority of your workout calories - otherwise your body will think you're trying to starve itself and you'll go backwards, not forwards. Good Luck!!
    in WHY am I Not losing weight? Comment by jmmsunshine April 2010
  • Obviously, it depends on how many calories you're eating per day. If your total intake is 1200, then 600 for breakfast is setting yourself up to be starving later in the day. The goal is ultimately to have food be fuel, and you need to fuel your body all day long. So, the question becomes, how many meals will you have…
    in Breakfast... Comment by jmmsunshine April 2010
  • I generally give them only healthy choices... "You can have oatmeal or shredded wheat," or "You can have an apple or a pear." We downplay sweets, and eat them rarely. At dinner time, both my kids need to take a "no thank you" bite - it's at least one bite of a new food. Each time I serve that food, they still need to take…
    in How do you get your kids to eat healthy foods? Comment by jmmsunshine April 2010
  • Thanks - I was curious about this too and concerned that if I wasn't loosing weight just eating at the calorie level, adding in exercise and eating those calories would put me in reverse too!
    in calories gained & consumption Comment by jmmsunshine April 2010
  • I don't call it cheating - I call it choices. And kudo's for recording it. I was shocked to see what "unrestricted eating" looked like for me. I found that after each time, I made different choices the next time - and overall they were healthier. I keep trying to remember, this is not a "diet" this is all about choices I'm…
    in Finally Understand the Cheat Day Idea Comment by jmmsunshine April 2010
  • Thanks for the encouragement - I'm just very frusterated! It's not TOM - that was 2 wks ago, and I always allow for ~3 lbs difference for that weigh in without getting down. And my sodium intake is less since I've cut out the pop! The first week my focus was just getting used to this - writing everything down, measuring,…
