NSV Keto style
So I usually just lurk, because I generally just like the uplifting stories and recipes, but I’ve been Keto since Easter. I wasn’t very big to begin with (5’6, 149lbs - though I did lose a lot via CICO before) and now I’m down to 131. Anyway. I had a hectic couple days. Found out yesterday that my son had lost something on…

Exercising while injured
So. Managed to sprain my knee/tear my meniscus. Might require surgery. I won't dwell on that and I am optimistic for an eventual full recovery. My problem currently however, is that it totally messed over my exercise routine. Jiujitsu is out, and can't run or bike which were my other two favourites. I'm going stir CRAZY…

Granola
I really enjoy this on yogurt with some fruit for breakfast, but I haven't had it in quite a while, because now I find a lot of the store brands too sweet. So basically, granola. Should I bother? Also.... anyone know any decent low or no sugar brands? Or good recipes for that matter, I'd be willing to make my own.

Oy, lol
Ok. So about 2 weeks ago, my mother gave me the, "You've had 2 kids you're never going to look fantastic," speech. i've been trying really hard to lose the last 20lbs on top of all i've already lost and I found it extremely demotivating, and didn't work out for about a week afterwards. However! I decided she was full of…

Sick
Ok, so. My 4 year old daughter started school in September, and I seriously have been nothing but sick since then. Strait 4 months of feeling HORRIBLE. I get my workouts in now and then and eat quite well, but i've really been stuck feeling so run down and awful, i'm really having trouble getting off the last 25 lbs…

^_^
So the military just moved my family from one posting to another, across time zones. I've basically been eating restaurant food for the past 3 weeks or so, too busy to do any real cardio. Flying with 2 small kids, moved into new house etc etc. So today was the first time I've stepped on the scale. I was dreading it. I've…

Anyone else have this problem?
Ok, so. every night, I tuck my kids in bed, and get ready for a huge fight. Not with the kids mind you, they go to sleep easily, but with MYSELF. Seriously, when it's time to get off my butt and workout it's like a 2+ hour mental battle with myself trying to get me to move. One part saying GO and the other part going NO. I…

Neat
So, I can fit into my "skinny" size 10 jeans and zip them up. I don't look good yet but it's a feat even getting them onto my butt at all! 10 more lbs before they look good maybe, I guess i'll find out soon. :) Thanks MFP. I don't post a lot, but seriously I don't think I could be doing this without my daily dose of…

Power 90?
I have been exercising on my own but some guidance would be nice so I was thinking I'd give this a shot. My husband doesn't think I have the willpower to crawl out of bed at 6AM to get it done before kids are awake, I plan to prove him wrong. However that's beside the point. I was just wondering how on earth I'd enter this…

Woo!
OK so I've been stuck at this stupid plateau for 4 weeks. It's been driving me crazy and I've been super bummed out about it, so the end of last week I entirely switched around my exercise routine, threw in a bunch of weights and made sure to track my food. (something I haven't been doing. Bad!!) Stepped on the scale this…

Irritating plateau!
Hi! Having trouble getting past a plateau I've been stuck at for 4 weeks now. This week I finally got really fed up, and upped my time at the gym to 6 days out of 7, instead of 3 days. 45 minute workouts each plus 30 minute walk to and from gym. Also been careful with what I've been eating. Still no progress! Feeling very…

Hi, i'm another new person.
Hello, I'm a mom of 2 beautiful children that are 2 and 4 years old. I'm tired of not being able to keep up with them and having to sit down. "No honey mommy's too tired right now." Ugh. I didn't have a weight problem until 4 years ago when my daughter was born. I want to go back to what I used to look like. Husband is…
