re: Lifestyle Change

Quoting S.W.A.G.:" It has been forever since I've been active in this thread, but I really need to get back on track. So, I guess if it's cool, I'm jumping in  "

Absolutely! How have you been Mama?

Quoting AKS♥:" Ladies!! so I lost a pound this week. It might sound like nothing but after months of my weight being ... [snip!] ... 3 times this week for 30-45 minutes. Starting on monday I'm doing a 60 day challenge. Hoping to lose 16-20 lbs by mid October"

Good job Mama! I know all about the sweet addiction. I think I have finally broken it!

Quoting AliG(Aidans mommy):" I need to go to grocery store asap! Ran out of everything lol. Did a cleanse and now getting back into working out its hard but i have to push myself! 20 pounds lost and i couldnt be happier!"

     

Would you ladies mind if I joined you? I hit my highest weight ever during my last pregnancy and I have finally had enough. I've tried "diets" but I'm ready to makeover my entire life. I'm down 47 lbs, but am only on day 8 of the new lifestyle (no sodas, 2-4 liters of water a day, light workouts, keeping a food journal, etc.). I still have about 100 lbs to go

of course   welcome!

also, my name is Ashlie. I was 189 at my highest weight (well, I was 197 when I delivered my daughter, but non-pregnant highest weight is 189lbs). I decided I wanted to finally quit using the excuse that I was a mom and it was ok for mom's to be fat and lose weight. It has been a long and hard journey! I did great for a few months and then stopped, and then did great again and stopped, and currently I feel like I am doing ok but working on getting to "great" again  

I started on sept. 30 2011 (it's almost been a year!) at 184lbs. So far I have lost 29lbs, hopeing to lose 20-30 more.

Quoting Jen♡Troy:" I was the same way when I first started my lifestyle change. I was not eating enough. When someone told ... [snip!] ... someone told me that I was like wait what? LoL Yes up your calories a bit. Good fats and high protein and it should help Mama!"

Thanks Mama, I will keep that in mind   I"m glad I'm not the only one who has struggled with it.

I remember pre-Livi I used to calorie count and work out. I always stayed within 1200 a day and was able to lose weight. Your body changes so much after baby!

Quoting LillyBear:" Jillian Michael's "Winning By Losing" has the best explaination/advice of calorie counting I've read ... [snip!] ... picking it up and giving it a read. It's really short, and will change everything (you think) you know about calorie counting."

Looking it up now. Thanks Mama!

Of course! Welcome Mama!!!! So glad to have you hear. Great job on your weight loss so far. I have no doubt that you CAN and WILL reach all of your goals!

Quoting Jen♡Troy:" Absolutely! How have you been Mama?"

I'm good. We've been very busy, and I left BG for a while for my own personal reasons - but with being back, I need to get back on track again.

SOOO awesome hun!!! Congrats!

I was subbed to this for awhile, then I got unsubbed when my first account was deleted & forgot to re-sub when I got this account lol. How's everyone doing?? Idk if anyone remembers my stats, but in mid-May I was up to 150 lbs, which may not sound like a lot, but it was seriously nasty. I've gotten down to 135 just by eating healthy & watching my calories using my fitness pal   I'm pregnant now but at least I am starting it off in better shape, lol.
