Thank you for the reply! I will be sending a friend request! :)

My youngest is 17 months and I weigh the same as when I came home from the hospital. :\ I lost about 20 pounds over the summer and have since put it all back on this semester! (Stress eating and wine don't do me any favors! :( )

Interesting! I definitely don't get enough sleep with three little ones, somebody is always waking me for one reason or another! Currently, my 18 mo is getting two molars and has been up several times a night for the past week, ugh! I Also have finals this week so there's stress too. I got a Fitbit yesterday and wore it to…

My diary is open to friends. :)

Thank you!! :)

Bought a fitbit flex last night and have it all set up and linked to MFP. Have it set for "Active time" goal instead of steps and have plans to get Active Points each hour! Hoping this helps motivate me a bit more! :)

Those are great tips!! Thank you! :)

Awesome advise! Thank you!! I think I saw Fitbits on sale at walmart! I'll check it out!

Will try the yogurt for sure. I try not to eat too much peanut butter, as I'm not keen on the natural peanut butter and lean towards jiff with all the extra sugar! I try to do natural almond butter.

Great point! And great idea with the muffin tray!!

I've heard that too, I'm bad about that because I didn't use to really eat breakfast at all, it was just coffee then I started "snacking" around 10:30 wich continued all day. And I usually made a decent size dinner for the family.

Oh do I hear you about "getting through the day"!! Some days it's all I can do just to make it until bed time!! I'm a stress eater (or wine drinker depending on the day ;) ) too so that doesn't help. My hubby and I just got a gym membership as our Christmas gift to each other, tonight will be my first time going, I'm…

Good point!

Slow eating is not my strong suit with three little ones, but a very good point! I should try to consciously slow down!!

Thank you! I know I need to stick this out, I'm tired of being miserable and hating myself when I look in the mirror or need to find clothes that fit! Honestly, I can't believe I was eating so bad and constantly!

Thank you all for your experiences and advise, it is much appreciated!! Please feel free to friend me, I could use the help and cheerleading on this journey! :)

I definitely need to work on it! I'm not a fan of water, but have cut out soda and sugar-filled beverages I'm used to so I need to make myself drink good ol fashion h2o!

Yum!

Good advise, thank you! I did notice I felt more satisfied yesterday at breakfast (egg and sweet potato) than I did today.

Thank you, I needed to hear that! Slow and steady!

I do need to force myself to drink more for sure! I really am not a fan of water, but will make myself love it eventually!

I've been told a fat, a protein, and a carb for each snack. I've been doing an apple with a nut butter.

Too many of the kiddos treats are what got me here. I must resist, but it's killing me right now!!

Ugh! I hope it doesn't take 3 months. :)

Thank you!
