So nice to here all you ladies talk about reality and failures!!! Thank you!
I meant to start WW today...I remembered at 2pm! Oops! I will start tomorrow-I haven't gone shopping yet, so there are no veggies and minimal fruits in the house anyway.
I have started walking with both girls, one in the stroller and DD2 in the moby. We have only been walking about 2 miles, but I want to up it to 3miles and be more consistent. I have a lot of weight to lose from both babies (17lbs from DD2 and then 28lbs more from DD1).
current issue: I need ideas for quick, EASY, low-carb lunches (if can I make/eat it with 1 hand that would be preferable!). Please let me know if you've got any great ideas!

I usually do a salad. Not one handed...but, low carb! Throw in the spinach/kale/whatever, some cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, avocado, top with some tofu/chicken/lentils/whatever and drizzle a little olive oil and lemon juice. Its quick, easy and delicious!

Google Taralynn McNitt (Undressed Skeleton & Simply Taralynn). She has some great low cal healthy recipes that are pretty easy to make. I'm obsessed with her. You can follow her on FB too.

I lost 2.4 pounds last week!! Since starting WW last May, I have lost 14 pounds and I had a baby in the middle of that. I'm feeling proud, only 27 more pounds!
@rockstarlaw you and I have like the same mind about the carbs! I'll also be doing the challenges here is what I was posting before I read your comment:
Any low carb-ers out there?
In an effort to try and get rid of my "bad" carb craving I'm to try and go pretty strict on a no carb diet for now. Fruits and veggies allowed but no bread pasta etc.
Anyone else a low carb pro? I am new to this so I could use some support
How did you do with your food this week: I did fine. I'm back eating most of my original ww foods (I was a lifetime member for years...and I joined ww when I was 20lbs lighter than what I am right now).
How much excersize did you get it: 4 walks, 2 yoga practices, 3 times on the elliptical
What was most challenging: Keeping up with drinking enough water
What are you most proud of: I'm getting some strength back in my core thanks to yoga
Weight lost: none! I'm still hanging on...so today I had my thyroid checked
Goal for this week: Be easy on myself...I did just have a baby & my doc did warn me about gaining 40+ lbs with my pregnancy based on my pre-pregnancy weight and my height
For low carb chips and salsa a friend recommended using cheddar cheese melted on parchment paper- apparently if you cook it long enough it turns into a "chip"
Chips and salsa are my weakness so I was excited to find out I don't have to completely give it up
I've been proud of myself this week! I just finished up my 24 day challenge so I've been eating really well. I exercised every day (mix of running, Jillian Michaels, Tae Bo, and Pilates). Weight lost: 2lbs this week. All baby weight is now gone! .
My progress is awful I had lost 5 pounds- gained back three over Memorial Day weekend the. Lost two- for an over all total of a 3 pound weight loss since I started ugh.
And since I gained those two pounds I don't even consider it a loss Womp Womp.

Lettuce wraps? I used to make them all the time with just minced veggies/meat, but you could bulk them up!
Make mini-quiche in muffin tins and freeze them. You just reheat when you want them (I have pinned a few!)
I'm having a hard time finding time and motivation to excercise! What time of day do you ladies typically get your workouts in?
It is very difficult to find the time, I try to get up at baby girls morning feeding when most of the time she goes to sleep for an hour or two, if she doesnt sleep it is interesting trying to make it work.
I missed two workouts this week because my in laws were at our house and I do video workouts so couldn't really find a great time to do them. I will probably miss another one today. However, I plan on doing lots of swimming/ walking so that should make up for it today. I havent lost any weight which is a little disappointing, but really I am in it more for toning. I am proud that it stayed onthe workout plan, I think I will be starting chalean extreme beginning next week.
Today was my 6th weigh in at WW... Lost 3.6 with a total of 13lbs whoop whoop (34 total since DDs birth). 15 lbs to go to reach prepregnancy weight, 29 to hit personal goal
