SO FRUSTRATED! I have been working out consistently for the past two weeks and the scale keeps going up - this is not supposed to happen.  BOO.  I am keeping in my calorie range of about 1500-1700 on days that I get a full work out in and about 1300-1400 on days that I don't

@ elle - me too about the binging - there is WAY too much candy in my house right now YIKES! I had to laugh a little at the l word because i miss those days of falling in love. 

super jealous of you lovely ladies in the lower weight range - I don't think  weighed that much even when i was dancing - i was always in the 120 -125 range.  i think i have heavy bones or something :)

So apparently I missed the entire month of October - been a long month - wedding, traveling, kids, soccer, church stuff.  Glad the outdoor activities are dying down and I have a moment or two to myself. 

I have been bouncing around the same 2-3 pound range and I knew that I wasn't going to drop any further on calories alone, I needed to get my butt in gear and join a gym.  So I finally convinced DH to let me - of course then he joined to so it is costing me twice as much as I was planning and I know he will never go.  He did this at the last gym we were members at before we even had the kid excuse.  It was only $10 a month so it could be worse I guess.  I went last night after the kids were in bed for the first time.  I forgot how relaxing and stress relieving working out in a gym was, no one to bother me or remind me of something that needed to be done.  It was the first time I haven't missed my elliptical.  I got a much better workout than I ever would have at home

Considering it is right after Halloween and it has been a month since I weighed - I will take the one pound gain and know that next week with my added workouts will be better

@leia - my sister is the same way - she is 5'7" and maybe 120, she prob gained 20 pounds in the last 5 years because growing up she was a 100 soaking wet - now she has boobs and I am always jealous of her figure.  She inherited my dad's build and I inherited my mom's - which tells me I will always have to watch what i eat and work out in order to stay in normal range.  i am not back to there yet but hope to be soon. 

@iapologize  I always have my lowest weight on Fridays too - I ussually don't re-hit that low weight for a week and a half after.  It is annoying.I also have a stick figure sister - 4 inches taller and prob 120 on a bad day.

@sara - I think you are at the point now where the actual number doesn't matter just how you are feeling and looking.

@mnward - great job!

@olehcat - you are getting there just a bit at a time just like me

My oldest is 4  and  little bear is 2

O has been through so much testing to figure out what is wrong with him - all they can tell us it is an unexplained respiratory infection - he has 70% lung capacity at this time so soccer season has been put on hold for now - he LOVES soccer and is a star on the field.  He got sick a lot last school year and had a lot of genetic testing done to rule some things out but at this point we just know that his has a low white blood count and anytime he is exposed to illness he gets it 10 times worse than any other kid. He was a preemie but not a micro so his health shouldn't be this affected.  I have seen some loss over the past couple days - but now I am sick - ugh

@nmward - there are some great yoga apps on android too

@momma - good luck with the baby shower

You are all doing so amazing

one pound - i will take it even though i saw a 165 over the weekend and then I spend three nights with no sleep and no time to workout due to two sick kids - ugh -  the older one we have no idea what is wrong with - he had blood taken and a chest xray today - he keep running high fevers with no explanation and they won't give him anything

Completely addicted to dr pepper = must not buy it or bring it into the house.  I only get it once in awhile when i go out to eat now

thanks for reminding me of my craving

tomorrow's weigh in - praying for a good number - I haven't been logging  as well as I should have and today was the first day of school which has me a little stressed out.

Over the weekend I was not a good girl

I need to start getting out of bed earlier and working out before the kids wake up.

@crystal - run the numbers again with either moderate or light and see what you get - It sounds like you put in sedentary lifestyle and that is not what you are with the 30 min jog.   - I am thinking that you need to be somewhere around 1300-1500 intake.  You are probably buring more than you think you are - plus you have to add those 300 to your bmr -  so if you are 1300 + 300 = 1600 a day - which means you should be trying for at least 1200 calories a day - but my guess is you are closer to the 2000 BMR with the workout
