How is everyone doing? Any goals met or speed bumps hit?
Also, what's your biggest problem zone that you're working on the hardest? How are you trying to work on it?
And because gifs make everything awesome, heres some 80's hunks working hard in tube socks and itty bitty shorts.

Re: Weight Loss Wednesday
(But even if it doesn't, there's no way in hell I'm giving up.) ;;)
Miserable week = stress = emotional eating. I need to find a better way to deal with stress then to eat.
AF came to town, we didn't have time to cook much this week, there was chocolate in the house. I'm a mess. By some miracle I still managed to work out, but it obviously did nothing.
I'm so discouraged
Problem areas? Can I say me? My stomach is a *huge* issue. As are my thighs, arms, back, face. Maybe I should exercise my face... Smile, frown, smile, frown, smile, frown.
I haven't weighed myself since we started but I know weight has come off! I can notice a difference in my DH's body too! It's fun to do this together. We always end up laughing and having fun every night
My problem area is most def my stomach, esp above my csection scar. It's so flabby
On to a new week ladies!
I signed up for a girl version of a tough mudder in May so I need to get my butt in gear!
I was feeling great putting on old pp jeans this weekend, but then we went away for 2 days and ate junk so I feel disappointed with myself. Here is my progress so far
My pants feel a little looser, maybe?
My problem areas are my tummy and my thighs. My face is puffy... but I'm not going to call that a problem area. I like my face. I'm also not going call my Hawaiian pizza a set back, because I think taking 1 meal off a week is amazing. I have decided not to beat myself up. If I'm not nice to me who the fuck is going to be?
I do feel better, and I am enjoying the crap out of learning to cook in a whole new way.
I have had a lot people say, "Do it slow. Change one thing at a time." and I think for most people that is great advice. But for us, the best thing to do was to throw everything crappy for us out.
I happy.
I had an "OK" week. H and I splurged on Valentines day and since work was crazy I barely worked out. I did lose 1lb. No biggie though. I'm back at it this week. Also, I'm not weighing in as often. I'm taking measurements 3 times a week to accurately measure my loss. I would say my problem area is my stomach and my "muffin". Ugh.
Cheers to a better week (throws up my glass of water)!
I want to lose weight faster, but concerned about it affecting my supply.
Downloaded the "lose it" app to track calories and to make sure I'm eating enough fruits and veggies.
I used to be proud of my flat tummy pp so I want it back. Need to tone up all over.
Goals are to track all food for the week, try better with portion sizes and to drink more water.
I was doing Weight Watchers...and even though they have a breastfeeding setting, I think i was just eating too much when i joined, so the drop in calories was probably more drastic than WW intends it to be. So I'll probably slowly start removing calories from each day and then try WW again at another time. I love the program, but I love BFing more!
My average daily diet is as follows:
Breakfast- toast with jelly or a protein/fiber bar with a piece of fruit a bit later along with a cup of coffee
Lunch- a salad filled with veggies, soup, on desperate days a lean cuisine, or some rice/quinoa with veggies.
Afternoon snack- another piece of fruit or a sweet low fat snack (protein bar)
Dinner- normal chicken breast, green veggie, and an occasional potato or starch.. But recently not even that.
Late night snack (8 or 9pm)- a cup of hot cocoa, a clementine, or a small bowl of cereal.
Calorie intake has been staying around 1200-1400... Depending on how much exercise I get!
Sorry the DD/Novel!
My goal the next few weeks is to focus on me, and make good choices. I have to step off the scale until the bleeding stops- it just isn't fair to yoyo like that all the time from bloating, etc. I'm not giving up, but I am taking a step back. I want to and need to lose weight, but I feel so mentally scattered that I just can't pull it all together.
Here's to hoping everything returns to normal shortly.
DS born 9/3/13; DD born 7/22/15; LO due 5/28/18
FS (age 5) and FD (age 2) to become AS/AD very soon!
You're not eating enough. That's why your body is holding onto the weight.
As info, I'm at 154 now.. not sure if that puts the caloric intake into any other light. PP wt was 125-130 so I have a long way to go :-(
Totally possible. I held onto 5 or so lbs until I stopped BF'ing DD1.
HOPE that will be me! Although I want to breastfeeding until at least a year...
I have not been counting calories or fat intake, just munching anything I want as long as it didn't come out of box, bottle or can, or through a window. The 1 exception to the processed food is dark chocolate - my excuse? Antioxidants, theobromines, can lower blood pressure and cholesterol, etc. (Yep - I eat a small amount of dark chocolate all freakin' day and I still lost 5lbs.)
This finally just made sense to me. It was NOT my fat or calorie intake that was really the problem, it was the crap I was putting into my body. It didn't know what to do with the crap and so it turned it into fat. Now I give it natural foods that it recognizes, and it is using those foods the way it is supposed to.
I really think I can do this.
