Great job!!!!! You look fabulous :)

My daughter is the same - no way I can workout while she is awake and she also is up super late and sleeps in my bed. I have resorted to getting up at 5 am - it actually not bad once you get used to it - plus your workout is done for the day and you can't use any excuses like later in the day. Its also nice to have some…

I would spend the extra and get a Polar they are the most accurate - you don't want to waste your money.

For sure it does - I have a Polar Heart Monitor and I wear it during strength training - however I do low weight with high reps. I burn between 300 - 400 in an hour

I hear you - I have resorted to working out at 5am - I find it nice to have the house to myself - once you get used to it - its really not that bad. Plus you are done for the day so no excuses of "I'm too tired" or something got in the way, etc. Try it you may like it.

Thx psulemon - I think I am undereating. I went over my cals yesterday by about 400 and then I weigh in this am and I am down. I am going to try and up my cals for this week and see what happens.

I do have cheat meals not the whole day though......I suppose I will just keep trucking along. At least I am getting healthier.

It has been about 3 months In the last month I went from 3x per week to 5x week on the exercise I drink a ton of water nearly always over 100 oz per day I usually eat 50 - 75 % of my exercise cals back I am set at 1400 cals per day so I usually end up eating between 1600 - 1800 after the exercise I should note that I quite…

ok that makes sense and then I should be eating my exercise cals too - I don't get why I am not losing :(

Check out this website maybe it can help you too: http://www.calmdownmind.com/overcoming-a-negative-body-image/

I would like to know as well - I find it hard to not cheat/spike all day - its like well I already had pizza may as well have some ice cream or a cookie too.....probably not doing it right :)

Welcome I am too losing baby weight -except my babies are 6 and 3 yrs old :) Friend me if you would like some support!

Wow - you look amazing - congrats !!!

LOL - busted :) They block facebook so this is my only social outlet besides email.

Hey all - I will have been smoke free for 6 months on 1/13/2012. I was already overweight when I quit and put it off for the longest time as I was afraid to gain more weight after quitting. The reality is that most people do gain weight regardless of whether your eating more or not. I did some research and smoking does…

I used to get this from running. The best for me was to stand on the edge of a stair or curb with your tippy toes and then lower your heels seems simple but it really worked for me. Good luck!

Elena is nice :)

Yep having babies really does change your body - most times for the worst. I was thin didn't have to wear a bra - it was wonderful. Now if I don't wear a bra my tata's will touch my 1st stomach roll. Gross - oh well I suppose this is the price we pay for being blessed with kids. :)

Nice Guns!

Well said!

Thanks I was feeling a bit like a push over or something :)

I am buying a measuring tape today since I have been at it for about a month also and fluctuate between losing 2-4 lbs from my original weight but it always goes back up. Water weight, time of the month, constipation - it all affects that stupid number we see. Its official scales just SUCK!!!

My 6 yr old has told me my belly is big before - I was putting makeup on in the mirror and looked down and sure enough he was right. There it was just hanging over - gross - I feel your pain.

Thanks for the support - I have a 6yr old son who behaves and listens however my daughter is the opposite and is just a stubborn kid - I do win pletny of battles but with her I have to pick my battles because EVERYTHING is a battle. LOL

Thats a good idea !

Wow - thanks for the replies!! I have tried the No Sugar or Low Fat but they taste nasty to me and I end up using more than the regular. If I only had a cup or two a day it would be fine but I am drinking between 8 - 10 cups a day each with at least 1 tbsp of cream - LOL. Recently quit smoking so I think perhaps I have…

Did it but only partially as both my kids have come down with the stomach flu - ARGHHH - everytime I try and start something!!!! Hopefully I don't get it too :(

Yikes - well I hope I haven't discouraged anyone from quitting - I am very happy about not smoking anymore. Well shoot I will just double my exercise efforts. I am not snacking and average around 1200 cals a day broken down protein/carbs/fat ratio of 50/30/20. I have been doing 60 minutes 3x per week of aggressive aerobic…

I'm in - I too feel a bit lost like I am no longer my own person or something. It is an odd feeling - my husband even says things like I miss my old wife. I hope losing weight will help me get back to the confident woman he married :)

We have recently made a ton of different meals as lettuce wraps - so like chop up chicken breast pan fry with any kind of seasonings you like ( southwest/taco/fajita/asian ). Then serve with leaves of iceburg lettuce. I add in pico de gallo or just tomato and if I have the room in my daily intake a little cheese. I have…
