Pretty discouraged, and could use a friend or two...
My name is Traci. I'm almost 26 (in a week) and I have two beautiful children, a 4 year old girl (Gabriel), and a 7 month old son (Dougie). I am happily married to their father, and have been for 5 years, this June. I used to be very fit in high school, and I have had a hard time getting back into shape since having my…

NSV!
I joined a challenge group with a few friends, and I decided to start off small. The goal (among other workouts for the day) was to walk 5 miles, and I had decided that I would only do 2, since I haven't been working out lately. As I was walking, I decided there was no way I COULDN'T walk 5 miles...so not only did I…

NSV for this past Wednesday
NSV for this past Wednesday: Went to the doctor to change out our BC method....had to get weighed...apparently I carry my weight well, because the nurse started at 120 and was utterly shocked when I was over 180. She also sounded surprised when I mentioned my daughter, and said "You do NOT look like you've had a baby!" So…

Quick question.
Not sure if I should be using lightly active or sedentary. I am a stay at home mother. I have a 1 year old, but she has always kind of kept to herself. She is perfectly content to sit and play with the toys the majority of the day, and walk around on her own sometimes. I don't have to be very active to care for her. I do a…

New NSV for me
I have been on this weight loss journey for about six weeks. My husband and I are both overweight, mine from pregnancy, and his from my cooking after we got married. :) We were fighting a lot and we were almost never intimate with each other anymore, causing a lot of our arguments. When I brought it up one night, he…

Quick question...
I'm pretty much on a strict chicken broth and theraflu diet right now. Should I be counting calories from the theraflu? Lol! And if so, how do I find out how many is in it? I feel like I'm asking a pretty stupid question, but I'm still new to all this stuff.

My first NSV!
So I guess that isn't entirely accurate...it's a partial scale victory, haha! When I started all of this, I was 187.6 lbs. The first week, I lost 1. Then I gained 2.4. I wasn't TOO worried because I knew I'd been gaining muscle. So I decided to add body measurements to my weigh days. In the past week, I have lost 1.6 lbs.…

Super bored!!
I have some cleaning I need to get done, but I'm not up for it right now. I wish I had more things to do. I get so bored lately. I live all the way across town from all of my family and there's nothing to do nearby. I dont have a vehicle, and even if i did, i can't afford the gas to go anywhere. I really need to make some…

Needing some exercise ideas.
I live in a small house and don't have room for large machines, but we have a very low income and can't afford a trip to the gym, let alone a full membership. I don't own a bicycle and even if i did, I was never taught to ride. :blushing: I REALLY wanna start losing inches, and getting in better shape because my husband…

Needing some motivation today!
Everything is going wrong this morning and I just don't understand why NOTHING can EVER go like I need it to?????? All of this added stress is making it even harder to stick to healthier foods. I seriously just want to sit down and eat an entire half-gallon of ice cream with just a spoon...possibly drowned in chocolate…

quick question about water!
If I add a packet of crystal light peach tea to a bottle of water, does it still count toward my water for the day?

About to go insane and in desperate need of help!!
I need some help. My husband and I are both trying to lose weight. I stay home and take care of our 12 month old daughter. I really want to be able to cook healthy meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they have to be easy or quick meals. I don't have time or the mentality to slave over the stove for an hour after…
