weekends.
Any tricks/tips for the weekends? I seem to never log Saturday or Sunday and always over indulge. I always feel like Mondays are my 'make up' day for eating like crap over the weekend. It's hard because we always have birthday parties, family events and cookouts. HELP!

Natural sugar from fruit= belly fat??
I have heard that belly fat is a result of too much sugar. I watched a segment on tv the other night that said bananas and apples have a high amount of natural sugar and since our bodies can't tell the difference..its helps contribute to belly fat. They said to only eat dark berries for fruit. Then today I watched another…

How to deal with the haters!?
My mother-n-law rudely brought it to my attention the other day in front of everyone that both of my sister-n-laws think that I am getting 'too skinny' and even had the nerve to say I looked SICK! I was so offended and hurt that they would say that behind my back but then say how 'good' Im looking to my face. My BMI is…

Feeling a bit down today.
I started my journey back in Sept and have lost 53 lbs. I am very proud of myself, and I have about 30 more lbs to go. It just seems like everytime I look in the mirror I get so depressed @ my tummy. Everything else is changing and toning, but after the weight loss and 2 kids all I see is a flabby tummy that I feel won't…

For those of you that have hit plateaus...
How long before you got over the dreaded hump? What did you do to get past it? Ive been stuck at the same weight for almost a month and it sucks.

traditional scales vs digital scales?
I've been using a traditional scale since the beginning and it seems to be consistant. I wanted to get a digital to get my exact weight, so I bought one this past weekend and it is totally off!

Nursing Moms
Do you log calories burned? Why or why not? I nurse my 8 months old about 3 times a day. I found out from someone I can add it onto my food intake and it actually credits me 200 calories for older babies. Do you think that's pretty acurate? I read if you exclusively BF you burn 500 cals a day, So 200 sounds about right for…

breastfeeding
I heard BFing burns 500 calories a day! If so, how can I add this into my 'exercise' since technically I am burning calories, right? The joys of motherhood :)
