I have a problem
I just found out I am pregnant again. This was totally not planned. I am terrified of the inevitable weight gain. I have been fighting the last couple of years to get the baby weight off. The 41lbs that I have lost is awesome but I still had 30 to go. I have done this before and with all good intentions I jump into super…

My story...
I will tell you now it will be a long one... I was not a fat kid. I wasn't even considered chubby. But the most hurtful thing you can say to a child is to call them fat. My family had two nicknames for me that I still find horrifying to this day bubble butt and thunder thighs. I have no idea why I got called these names. I…

why is it????
I hate the gym I really really hate it. I have to remove my butt from my chair with a crowbar when I have to go. But when I get done I feel so insanely good? Especially today. I finally started running again (I haven't since sophmore year of highscool) and today I ran a mile for the first time in 20 years! I am so proud of…

Fat pants forever....
Here is my problem I think I am going to be in my fat pants forever. Last night I snagged the last pair of jeans I had that fit now they have a hole right in the butt. My clothes are all either way to big or way to small. The pants that I can get on are all several sizes to big right now I am wearing 16's that I just…

A little bit of Success!!!!
So a few months ago I went a lot off the rails with my eatting, and I gained 8lbs! All the stress in my life and dealing with having my hubby home for the first time in 10 years and well... Eight pounds later I have been working hard to get back on the wagon for the last six weeks. I got back to logging everything, I upped…

Too much sodium
So I got on the scale yesterday expecting to see a loss and not only did I not. But it appears that I gained 4 lbs. Ugh! So I rationally looked at my diary for the last week. And yes I realize that a few days were way under on my calories but I had a 2 day long migraine most of the food I did manage to eat didn't stay…
-
Sabotage???
I know I am not the only person who has this issue. So my husband for our entire 10 marriage has been an over the road truck driver, well until the last 2 months. For the first six weeks I made the food everynight that he likes to eat thinking that he wouldn't eat anything I was eating because he really is a very picky…

Respect on the boards
I am going to make people mad yep I sure am! 95% of the people on this board are rational intellegent caring people on here to help people. But there is that other 5% that has nothing better than to attack and nit pick anybody for a success, failure, question or problem. We need to be here to support each other, not to…

Hubby is home every night now!!!!!
While I am so excited that he is home and love that he is here everynight. I am so ready to kick his butt back out the door! It is frustrating. The fact that since he has been home he has lost 15lbs is really ticking me off I have gained 5 and he didn't need to lose any to begin with! Now I have to make food that he will…

Can't seem to get around myself... vent
I had been doing really good until about a year ago. I had lost 40 lbs over about 6 months. Then my 2 adult stepsons moved in with us and they bring so much junk in the house it's nuts. I have no willpower after months of seeing everbody eating candy cookies and chips and fast food. Now my over the road trucker husband is…

I think I have more muscle than I thought!!!!
I just had my bf% checked and I was really suprised. I am not what you would call a little girl past being short lol! I am 5'3" and I weigh around 170lbs. I am very active, but I don't exercise I hate it so I won't do it! So when I had my bf% done you can imagine my surpise when it came out to 28.6%! I guess I shouldn't…

I hate exercise!!!!!
I hate exersice. I mean I really hate it. I hate going to the gym, I hate working out in the house to tapes. I feel like it's torture! It's not a lack of motivation. I just really hate it! It's not that I don't move, I move and I move a lot. Just not typical exercise kinda way. I have 4 kids I take care of. I walk my 2…

will someone look at my diary for today for me???
Well I did good and got my fiber through the roof which I am very happy about. With some working around I got my protein up, but in the process I have my carbs 5 over, My fats 17gr under and my calories are 255 under. I'm not sure what to do to make up my calorie deficit for the day, without letting my carbs get totally…

How long should it take????
To break crappy eating plateau?? What I mean by this is in the last month or so I have been really up and down with my eating. I am both a stress eater and starver. I did both this month.It just depends on the stress ATM. So I went and calculated my TDEE -20% and started really working on it again this week. It's that week…

I have my planting graph done my direct seed are organized and ready to go, plants started in the house, and the garden was tilled over a week ago. It is killing me I…
-
can you let me know what you think of this???
I went on the pink diet last year and we made these breakfast shakes I have since changed the recipe to suit me better. I think it's pretty good. I also add a few drops of stevia to make it just a bit sweeter. It's in my diary for this morning.

I'm not hungry but...
I can't be the only one out there that has this problem. I eat a good meal like last night yummy grilled chicken breast marinaded in olive oil and spices, sweet potatoes with cinnamon and a bit of butter and steamed green beans. It leaves me full but not satisfied. Within the hour I am craving crap. Ice cream chips and…
-
I didn't eat the chocolate ice cream!!!!!
My hubby did his nightly norm and got out his gallon tub of chocolate ice cream. which I have come to call the trough. Usually all of the kids will run and grab a spoon and eat with him hence the name. I sat with him on the couch and didn't eat any of it! This is a first for me because I have a horrid sweet tooth. But I…
-
where do I log it???
So I woke up last night and decided to eat leftover pasta at 3:30 am. I know but it was better than getting a cuppy cake out of the freezer! About hour later I went back to bed so do I log that for yesterday or today???

When do readjust your TDEE?
I don't feel like I need to do it yet because I am still losing and at fairly decent rate I set my calories at -20% which gives me 1684 calories a day. So do I wait until I stop losing or do I keep readjusting for what I have lost?

how do you deal with stress
Depending on the stress I either eat or starve. Today for me was a starve day. It is rare that I end up with so much stress that I starve myself but the idea of eating well it just made me sick. With normal stress I eat. But today was really awful, probably the worst day I have had in about a year. So I can't say that is…

Ladies help with cravings!!!!
OK so I have it that week before my period and all I want to do is eat junk. I get all of the food out of my house but I have a gas station right behind my house that is open 24/7 and the reese's cups there call to me. So I am really having a hard time just saying no. So ladies what do you do at this time of the month???
-
why is it????
Why is it that if I am a good girl and I eat breakfast by lunch I want to gnaw my own arm off. (We won't talk about the rest of the day because I get such horrid cravings that I will eat anything that doesn't run from me especially if it has sugar in it, until I go to bed) The more often I eat the more I crave. But on the…
