I think that is the key, too, is finding out your weaknesses and replacing it with something healthier instead of trying to cold turkey it out of your diet. I have about 35 to lose too, so we should do it together!!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613528709184691271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283755482986257854.post-27619015996855186542010-05-06T06:09:49.546-07:002010-05-06T06:09:49.546-07:00The best part of losing the weight is when a few m...The best part of losing the weight is when a few months later you're pregnant again and put on another 80lbs (hey don't judge, I was pregnant with twins!). So my dear friend, I'm happy to jump on the losing weight bandwagon. I have 35 to go, sounds like a lot but I know it can be done!<br /><br />My main problem in losing weight is desserts! It's a love/hate relationship that I have with sugar. Last time I lost my weight (I had 20 to lose that time), I used iceies at night as my low calories sugar fix. Guess what, I'm sick of iceies - so I bought a Costco size can of pineapple, frozen strawberries & some bananas. I food processed it all up (not into a mush, just chunks) and put it in the freezer. It's my new low calorie ice cream. :-) Anythings better downing a pint of Ben & Jerry's!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08725679837213391767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283755482986257854.post-78397307590461138352010-05-04T12:10:49.561-07:002010-05-04T12:10:49.561-07:00Hey Stephanie! I haven't had to lose pregnancy...Hey Stephanie! I haven't had to lose pregnancy weight yet, but my mom had to lose it for six kids. She has a fast metabolism and breast feeding for a long time helped as well, since it burns calories. She tended to make small lunches, healthy snacks, and then a big dinner with a limited dessert. AND she was a runner, which definitely helped! <br /><br />I hate running, so we'll see how that goes with me!Kaciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374573594800663980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283755482986257854.post-8202679126073453982010-05-03T19:23:32.078-07:002010-05-03T19:23:32.078-07:00Thanks so much!!!

I just wish I was more disciplined!!

My stroller has been my lifesaver because they are actually really good while I'm running (I pretty much go every afternoon). Plus, since we are already out we make an afternoon of it. There's a lake I go to, so I let them feed the ducks or throw rocks when we're done. <br /><br />Also, look into getting some workout dvd's. I love taebo and do it all the time as well. I have pretty much every single set and love the Taebo Amped set. You can do it while they're napping or get up before them. Good luck - you can do it!! Having a buddy/accountability is great so you stay on top of it. Anyhow, that's what I do and it works great for me. Hope that helps! :)melissasniffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837894671216226767noreply@blogger.com
