new stay at home mommy having trouble staying out of kitchen
I have always struggled with emotional overeating and overeating because I'm tired. I have a beautiful 7 wk old baby girl and I really want to get back to a healthy weight, but I'm home for 3-4 days a week by myself. Hubby is Coast Guard so he is on base for up to 80 hrs, and then home for a few days. We just moved so I…

Starting over after baby
Hey y'all. I lost 40 pounds in 2011 using MFP and then got the best news that I was pregnant. I gained 60 during my pregnancy.

I'm back, but scared!
I left for a month after I got down from 224 to 183. Everyone told me I looked good and that was good enough for me. But its not really...I still need to be at 165 or below for health reasons...but I left because I didn't want to work hard. Yes I had to cut back to lose weight, but this last 20 pounds would require me to…

NSV-thought there was something wrong, but nope :)
Went up to my hubby yesterday and asked him to look at my wrist. I thought I had hurt it because there was a strange bump that was never there before. It didn't hurt, but I don't process pain like other people do so I have to be very careful... He looked and said...its just your wrist bone. Then proceeds to show me his…

Never thought I'd be so happy to be wearing mens clothes...haha. I'm a bit of a tomboy and when we first started dating I could borrow hubbys 34 cargo shorts...right before we got married I couldn't do it, bought my own 38's, 1 year of marriage and even those didn't fit, I refused to wear 40's so I went to big girl sizes…

NSV? you decide
I almost witnessed a traffic accident today because a guy leaned out his car window to do a double take as he passed me. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in Florida and I decided it was a great day for a ride. Apparently a girl in jeans and a tank top on a motorcycle does it for a lot of guys because later I got yelled…

NSV Take that inner voice for telling me I can't
So 7 weeks ago I did the fit test before starting p90x...I could not do one push up, could only do 10 on my knees.

Do you grade peoples buggy?
So tonight I was at walmart (ugh but my unintentional nap ran me past when my fave grocer closed) and buying food was a major must do. I found myself peeking at others carts and totally not judging the person but giving a letter grade for nutritional value in the cart. It was my entertainment for the night. Not to give…

Great Morning to shop in my closet!
Ah it's a beautiful morning to pull on size 14 izod trousers. Started my journey at size 18. These pants fit great and are a good boost. Just for laughs I pulled out my vintage shirtwaist dress thats a 12P...The only place it doesn't fit yet are my girls, and I don't remember if it ever did. So this is my new goal piece.…

Why my scale tells the truth
So week one of P90x done! and I was eating 1800-2000 cals and scared of a gain...sure enough .5lb gain....but that is only part of the story. My scale also determines body fat percentage (if you remember to wet your feet :wink: ) So last week Day 0 weight 200 body fat 50.6% This week Day 7 weight 200.5 body fat 46.9% Oh…
