So far loving Slim in 6! been doing since May 1. Debbie is kicking my butt! I already feel muscles toning up!

I started May 1, I will inbox you!

My go-to snack is chocolate animal crackers. 16 of them is 130 calories, and it satisfies me!

Are your sugars all coming from your sweet fix? If most are coming from fruit and healthy things then I wouldn't stress. I keep hearing about sugar and its so confusing. Im with you! I hear don't eat sugar free, it has aspartame, but don't eat sugar because its bad too. For now, Im drinking only water and Im not sweetening…

I control my chocolate cravings with chocolate animal crackers! you can eat 16 for 130 calories, and I usually eat a serving spaced out through the day when I get the urge.

Jimmy Dean's D-lights has a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on English muffin sandwich that I LOVE and eat almost everyday. It keeps me full till lunch with only 250 calories!

2 Labs- a 7 year old female chocolate lab and a 5 month old male yellow lab. It is so true that yellows are mellow! My chocolate is still a wild thing at 7 :) They are like kids to me and I love them! Would love to walk them but I also have a 3 yo and a 4 yo so that is not happening at the moment! I cant handle them all!

If you take an exercise ball between your knees and squeeze, do as many reps as you can and try to up them. it really helps with inner thighs! Ive also noticed huge improvement with Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred.

I believe you record it under circuit training.

I have done the 30 day shred before. So I can give some advice. 1st. yes she uses weights, and you can start low, like 2 pounds. Walmart has Jillian weights that have a set of 2 lb 5 lb and 8 lb so you can move up when it gets easier (and it does!) 2nd. STRETCH your quads. I literally cried going up and down steps for the…

I think some of you dont realize what it takes to push a double stroller that weight probably 30 pounds itself with 2 kids in it which she said was 80 pounds....and if the terrain wasnt good, it would have been even harder trying to maneuver as the best doubles are unwieldy! Id go with your HRM.

This is my 3rd week of it. No side effects so far. I think if you are eating healthy and exercising you wont regain your weight when you stop. Its people who use it and lose weight without changing their lifestyle that gain it back. My doctor only gave it to me because of how I was eating and exercising and that I still…

im not sure on the size of the ball....its a pretty big one, its hard to get in between my knees so there is a LOT of resistance. 30 Day shred is a dvd workout, and it is a killer but its only 20 min a day so it fits in my schedule. and its only 10 bucks at walmart :)

UMM does this guy NOT look like a yoga instructor to anyone else? LMAO!

I have been doing the exercise ball between my thighs and squeezing, it really has been working. i have a stubborn pouch of fat on my inner upper thighs and it is def helping. I also noticed a drastic improvement in my legs with the Jillian 30 Day Shred!

I also suffer from PCOS. Its frustrating. I take metformin to try to help my weight loss, and when I showed my doctor my calorie intake and exercise and that i wasnt losing anymore, she put me on Adipex for 2 months to try to boost my metabolism. This is my 2nd week of it and I lost 3 lbs the first week and 1.5 this week.…

I agree all 3 are great on you, you look fabulous! My vote with the boots would be #1 :) Havve fun!

In the grocery store, my Dad would let a raunchy fart silently by my mom then he would just casually disappear down the aisle and everyone walking past would think it was her....LOL

Add me too! You cant have too much support! I have learned many things from my MFP pals and it has helped me stick with it. I love to peek at everyones diaries to see what they are eating and get ideas!

No one mentioned the 35 calorie bread. I have tried most of them, recently Schebels Lite Wheat, it only has 5 net carbs in 2 slices. So if its a sandwich day, I use that. My husband eats it daily in his lunch and has lost 35 pounds since Feb. 1.

I also suffer from depression and know exactly how you feel. Especially because my kids are 2 and 4 and they have snacks. I like the advice to keep fruits or veggies ready to snack on and when you need chocolate, try to do a healthier form. I like weight watchers dark chocolate raspbery bars, 80 calories. sweet freedom…

I just asked this about frozen vegetables. My view is you weigh it as you eat it! . When you cook chicken, fat and juices come out that you dont eat so why would you count them? So my vote is weigh the cooked chicken!

Use Bio Oil for the stretch mark fear. My friend just had TWINS and not a stretch mark to be found and it even helped take away old ones from previous pregnancies! As to weight, eating healthy and exercise are good for you and the baby. I was overweight and had lost 35 pounds before getting pregnant with my first. I had…

Please add me if youd like! I am also 33 with 2 boys, mine are 4 and 2.5, and it is definitely hard to fit the exercise in there. Ive done this before successfully then quit for a while, put the weight back on, and now Im rededicated to taking it off and not thinking of this being a "diet" but a healthy lifestyle change.…

Working out 7 days a week for 90 min already seems a lot! I dont know the answer but Im anxious to see what the opinions are!

I use Splenda. Used it through 2 pregnancies and both babies had all the right parts :) Everything causes cancer these days, maybe I should worry but I dont.

What a beautiful bride! 9!

Thanks everyone. I am 5"4 and190 lbs. Its hard for me to think I need to eat more because I am definitely satisfied. I will try to increase calories and see if this helps. I dont hand my kids off to a nanny, I am a stay at home Mom and I try to be very active with them. Thanks again for the advice! One more thing: Does it…
