I...FIrst let me say this to make you feel better... I'm currently at 207 and stuck. Right before Christmas I was at 197... I gained 10 lbs from being lazy. In order to make you happy I want you to realize that I haven't had a baby - unless you count holding on to food babies.<br /><br />We can do this and with your background I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT FOR SURE!!! <br /><br />I started Insanity just to see if I could do it - this crap is TOUGH... I am in month 2... I wanted to try it before going home to see all my friends who last saw me at my wedding weighing like 180 something, tighter, firmer and fitter and wearing a corset in my dress. I feel horrible right now, about myself and just blah. So I understand where you're coming from. Mike is very similar to Neal, he only has eyes for me, thank goodness, but my ego took a serious shot last weekend when we were out at a local bar and Mike got hit on by a college age girl... I felt like no guy even looked at me. Not that I want that, but you know, it's nice to get noticed... <br /><br />I'm trying to convince myself that being stronger, and tight is more important that what the scale says. I think it's great you did measurements that's the best way to judge your body changing w/out getting obsessive. I need to do that. I've talked myself into tossing the scale in the guest bedroom so as NOT to look at it.<br /><br />As far as late night snacks - it's hard, especially when you're staying up alone. I go to bed by 10:30 PM so I've learned that if I'm going to leave stuff around the house to snack on it better be low cal, or healthy. Water does help a little bit. Guzzle a big glass of it when you get the cravings, if you are still hungry after that have some fruit or veggies prepared to snack on - something HIGH in water content would probably be best. I've been keeping 100 calorie frozen things like popsicles or italian ice (not really paelo but might still be useful for the late night cravings, especially for sweets). The best thing is to be prepared with stuff you CAN eat, to get rid of the cravings for stuff you can't.<br /><br />I think the slow progression of losing weight is smarter honestly we work hard, we appreciate the drop and it stays off longer if we make it a lifestyle change not just a gold to drop lbs.<br /><br />I'm here for you girl - we all need help these days. I wish I was still 20 something, I really miss that metabolism. You know the one where you could drink all night and dance of calories and still fit in size 10 or 12 jeans?<br /><br />PS if it makes you feel better I wear the same pair of jeans, every day. It's either that or yoga pants!Kelly @ turned UP to ELEVEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316990503032552760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-82681004171092627262013-04-29T13:54:50.480-04:002013-04-29T13:54:50.480-04:00Congats from Chad Allen & Tammy C. from Kentuc...Congats from Chad Allen & Tammy C. from Kentucky!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932556073608348898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-42517605528931255092013-04-03T11:46:30.192-04:002013-04-03T11:46:30.192-04:00I just love you! You are so real and I love that ...I just love you! You are so real and I love that about you. I think you are beautiful no matter what, but here is my small tip for snacking. If you like bell peppers get some of every color and cut them in strips and snack on those when you feel a little hungry. Also, Tebo's mom makes a weight watcher's soup that she keeps on hand and when she feels a little hungry she has a coffee mug of that soup and it curbs her appetite. I will look for that recipe and send it to your email. We will all be your cheerleader, but give yourself a little slack. You just had a precious little bundle so you are allowed to take your time getting to your ideal and comfortable weight. :)WingsForTroops in loving memory of CPL Chad S Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714049858416378924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-57915665211683210902013-03-31T14:36:59.836-04:002013-03-31T14:36:59.836-04:00I'm about to buy some seedless red grapes and ...I'm about to buy some seedless red grapes and put 'em in the freezer for snacking. Frozen ones are so much more fun than plain. Late afternoon and late evening are my bad times, too.

That takes a ton of confidence. <br /><br />Also, nutella is my weakness. As far as snacking goes, we make it a point to never buy chips, soda or candy. If they aren't in the house we can't eat them. Is a carrot dipped in hummus as delicious as a dorito? Hell no. But I can give myself a high five after I gorge on carrots. Can't do that after I eat an entire bag of doritos (which is what I would do if we had them in the house). Another good late night snack would be popcorn....the unbuttered kind. (I know!) <br /><br />Way to go on the C25K! Keep it up. That's where I started! Let me know if you need support...I can harass you via email/twitter/text/facebook....just let me know.

And beautiful!
I have no doubt ...You are so brave! <br />And beautiful!<br />I have no doubt that you will be able to high-kick this in the butt.<br />I am in the same boat (except without the baby to show for all the stretchmarks) and I just can't seem to make a dent in the scale. I can't help that candy helps me study...<br />I can't do the paleo thing, but I just started intermittent fasting - where you eat (but not overeat) normally for 5 days/wk and reduce your caloric intake to 500 for the other 2 days.<br />Its supposed to have different benefits like reteaching your body what hungry feels like, and you eat just enough on your fasting days that you keep burning fat instead of precious muscle. And the biggest plus for me, is only really have to think about what you can (or can't) eat 2 days out of every week instead of constantly obsessing about it.<br />I just had my first fasting day yesterday, and it went pretty smoothly, I'll keep you posted on how it goes ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-35640473409070949462013-03-29T09:34:39.008-04:002013-03-29T09:34:39.008-04:00Oh darlin'...I give you miles of credit for po...Oh darlin'...I give you miles of credit for posting those pictures. That's pretty much what I look like in shorts and a sports bra too...but I'm not near brave enough to post those photos on the internet for all to see. <br /><br />I know it can be done as we've both done it successfully before. We just have to stick to it. And one thing I've learned over the last few weeks is that a few indulgences in a week really help me stick to a program the rest of the time. <br /><br />And if it makes you feel better...I weigh more than you.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286830683042797005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-83878910940661825202013-03-29T09:33:37.956-04:002013-03-29T09:33:37.956-04:00ohhhh how i love you and your blog posts. you go ...ohhhh how i love you and your blog posts. you go get it girl. this is yours for the taking!

But I know that it is just the very beginning of the journey.<br />Wish I could blame mine on baby weight gain but my kids are 18 and 22 so that won't work. <br />:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959195266400197598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-44805339390167384102013-03-29T08:42:52.800-04:002013-03-29T08:42:52.800-04:00WAY TO GO!!! :D You can do this, Ally.

It cures the sweet tooth. Also: Pop Chips. For those have to have it salty cravings. Kallayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500713474538106685noreply@blogger.com
