What can I do with dumbbells?
I don't currently have access to a gym, and I don't have much room or funds for a ton of exercise equipment. What I do have is a set of dumbbells with ( plates?) That can go up to 20lbs. I have been looking around on YouTube for some sort of routine that looks like it would be doable, but still challenging. If someone…

Advocare
I was at a Girl Scout function last night talking with one of the other moms about the awesomeness that is MFP. Some other random heard us an sidled up next to me and said 'hey, you ever think about advocare?' Out of politeness I had to listen all about her miraculous 4 lb weight loss in two days and something about a 24…

Back in the 100s!
This morning I weighed in at 199. My first goal met. That's 13lbs down since MFP, and 22 since August. I haven't seen this number for 3 years. B) <3 On to the next! Sorry, I had to share!

Do you log gains?
If you have them? Initially I lost 8 lbs upon joining MFP, (lost 18 total since the end of August at a bad bad bad Dr visit.) But then I got the flu, and Christmas, and I gained back 5lbs. I know it was water weight, I have tightened up my logging and since Christmas have flushed out that water weight. This morning, I…

Took my starting measurements.....
And it ain't pretty. My hip circumference is 49.5 inches, or pretty much as tall as my nine year old daughter. Anyone else want to fess up their first measurements?

Not another loose skin thread.....
So I have a pretty substantial "mothers apron" to the point where sometimes the skin breaks open at the fold. (Gross, I know, don't make fun) I had this when I was heavy before I had babies, and after 3 kids, well, it's pretty bad. It's not just loose skin, more like a fat fold. Uggggg. Anyone have success of this going…

I want to be a Tough Mudder!
But I am so freaking out of shape it isn't funny! My body fat is 45% and I don't quite know where to begin. Anyone here gone from a marshmallow to a tough mudder? This is my ultimate goal.

Question about BMR and TDEE
OK so I followed that awsome 'In place of a roadmap' posting and figured out what I burn in a day being 'lightly active'. Apparently MFP wants me to starve since they gave me a calorie allotment of 1200 a day, which I'm not comfortable with. But when I put in a calorie goal of 1800 calories which is about 500 less than my…

Going grocery shopping
Give me strength! If it's not in the house, I can't eat it, right? Hoping I don't have a low blood sugar induced meltdown and raid the chocolate aisle. ;-) So glad it's too cold for me to eat ice cream. My biggest weakness!

Help for a stay at home Mama!
While I am so happy I get to stay home with the babes, it seems that I'm constantly surrounded by food and kids. The kids ages vary greatly, 7,4, and 10 months, so their schedules are all different. I find myself constantly around food. Since I've been journaling I at least notice what I'm putting in my mouth (huge help),…

Hey all! 50+ lbs to lose, could use some support.
I'm actually afraid to step on the scale, so I'm not quite sure how far I have to go. :-) After 3 kids, the baby factory has been shut down and I'd like to get back into the size 8 shorts I was wearing before my newest arrival. He'll be a year in February and it's time to say goodbye to all the extra insulation having kids…
