NSV and Milestone
Last year, I lost 50 lbs from April to September. In October I found out that I was pregnant with kiddo #5. I delivered the caboose on May 25th. Since May 25th, I've lost 47 lbs and I'm only 7 lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight. That being said, I have never liked being in front of the camera because of the way I looked.…

40 lbs GONE!
FINALLY! I thought I was going to hang around my plateau for the rest of my LIFE! Seriously!!! So, had my 5th child on May 25th and gained just about 60 lbs through that very rough pregnancy (was put on hospital bed rest at 35 weeks and the little man came near the end of my 36th week). Here is me 3 days after being…

Eat more, weigh less?
How exactly does that work? Does it work for everyone? I am eating 1200 calories daily, exercising daily roughly 600-900 calories burned and eating most if not all back. In addition I'm nursing an almost 6 week old but not accounting for those calories burned. I'm averaging 1 lb a week to every 2 weeks. Does that seem good?

Zumba progress/success pics??
Hi y'all, So I just had a baby 4 weeks ago roughly and I've lost 34 lbs. I've got like 22 lbs to get back to pre-pregnancy. I've been doing Zumba for about 2-2.5 weeks now. I'm feeling a difference in my clothes, not so much on the scale and getting a little discouraged. I was hoping to find people who've done great just…

2 NSV & SV + Pics :)
I originally joined MFP back in November 2010, but it took me until March 2011 to finally get tired of being fat. I dropped 50 lbs. from April until October when we found out that we were expecting our 5th child... I gained the 50 lbs I lost back plus 10... I had a very hard pregnancy during the end and ended up with…

Accounting for Breastfeeding
I have logged the breastfeeding under food (-500 calorie allotment), but I'm confused if I am also supposed to up my calorie intake too? Before I got pregnant, I survived on 1200 calories a day plus exercised calories burned, ended up consuming somewhere around 1700 calories a day all things considered. So, do I log the…

30 minute circuit training?
so my gym has an area for 30 minute circuit training that I started using 2 weeks ago. I just noticed a sign in the area where the rules are (like this area is only for circuit training not for people just wanting to use the machines) and at the very bottom it says to only do this 2-3 times a week with a break in between.…

Pregnant & due Jan-June 2012
Hello all, I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant (will be on Monday) and was wondering if any other preggies that are in their 1st trimester that would be interested in budding up? I've got a couple of friends who are expecting, but the more the merrier! I for one am looking for support and motivation, tips & tricks too! This isn't…

Best NSV!!!
I was printing off paperwork today and was chit chatting with the receptionist. We got on the subject of kids and told her that we're expecting our 5th due next May/June. She asked how old our kids were and when I got to my oldest at 15.5 she stopped dead in her tracks... After she pulled her jaw up from the floor she said…

My 3 NSV's :)
So, first off I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I've upped my calorie intake. I'm maintaining my weight (haven't lost since right before finding out were expecting, fluctuating with about 4 lbs) so I'm doing something right! That being said, I was working out Monday and Tuesday at the gym and my exercise pants kept falling down…

Oh my aching abs!
I met with a personal trainer yesterday and we're taking several days this week and next to devise a free weight program to help me tone up. Yesterday we worked on abs and shoulders, because last week we worked on arms (biceps/triceps). Oh my gosh... I woke up this morning and about cried. My abs are on FIRE! Never in my…

Absolutely AWESOME NSV!!!!! (and a small SV)
I'll try to make this as brief as possible. ;) I had a big meeting today and after going through my closet and not able to find anything that looked right, I pulled out a dress that a friend of mine gave me that she out grew (she recently lost 60 lbs and went from a size 16 to a size 4). She gave me some of her size 14's…

HOLY CRAP!!!! SIZE 14's!!!!!!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!! After my awesome morning at the gym I was headed out for new head shots. I was going to wear the dress you see in my signature; the black one... Well I put it on today and it was like a tent on me. Well, like a girl needs a reason to go shopping... Headed to Target and couldn't find a black dress.…

If I hear this one more time, I swear I'm going to pop!
There are very few things that send me over the edge, but there are a few "sayings' that are about to make me go psycho! 1. 24/7 - Really, you couldn't just say All the time, or 7 days a week? 2. "like" as in "I was over there and I Like..." 3. "Oh snap" Snap what? 4. "Is the Pope Catholic" No! He's not... 5. "Just sayin"…

Wow, I'm on cloud 9 today! NSV x 2!
So, I decided today to take up learning free weights with the onsite personal trainer at my gym. When I met up with him he asked me what I wanted to learn, told him how to properly use free weights instead of the Nautilus equipment that I'd been using because I just didn't think it was working my bingo arms enough. l have…

WTH? Confused...
So, I was down to 43 lbs lost on Friday!!! Super excited!!! Saturday I hit the gym, plus we went on a 1.75 hour walk Saturday evening. I barely ate much of anything, in fact I had like 1600 calories left to eat (it was my birthday, we had family in town, plus all the exercise gave me a huge overage). Yesterday, I didn't go…

A girl could get use to this attention...
So, hubby asked me to go to the Dodge dealership to get him a new gas cap. After hitting the gym this morning, I headed on over. Not to many people there, which is nice so I parked out front and headed inside. I must have had 6 men come over and at first I thought; hmmm, must be a slow day... Boy, was I naive! 2 guys…

Not sure how to calculate this
So, I went to preview three houses for a client today. I walked to all three, across an airstrip, in a dress and heals in 102 degree weather... The distance would be about 1/4-1/2 of a mile... Brisk pace too as the builder was moving along quite quickly. So... Do I just count it as walking brisk pace? What would you do?

Gym NSV!!!!!
This was so cool today! So, there is a machine that I occasionally use at the gym. Don't remember what it's called but it's one where you sit and grab hold of handles that come out at both of your sides. You're supposed to push down on the handles and it works your shoulder area. There are 2 settings on the handles, you…

I went on a ghost tour and might have caught a ghost!!!!
And I caught a ghost on my camera! :D We went Saturday for my birthday (Yay me!) and whereas it wasn't nearly what I was hoping it would be, it was still pretty cool none the less. So, wanna see it???? Okay, you have to look into the glass in the door behind the tour guide. Do you see the man in the glass? His leg is also…

Weight loss comment I'm not sure how to take...
So, today marked 40 lbs lost forever! <insert happy dance here> Problem is, I sent a picture in an email to several friends and whereas the majority of the response was WOO HOO's and Congrats...I got a few responses back from people who simply replied; "Good job, keep up the good work." or this one "Congrats, now how about…
