Military Wife Confessions

All together we have 6 kids, I have given birth to 5 and the last 3 are 3,1 and newborn so they were pretty much back to back... After my 1st 2 kids it was soooo easy to lose the weight but I am a lillte older now.... My baby is 3 weeks and he deployed 2 weeks ago so I have 6 months to get this weight gone!! I want him to look at me the way he did when we were dating and I was skinny! When we got together I floated around 115-120, 1 week after baby was born I was at 190!!! ANY ideas would be great...

One thing that has helped me a lot is my BodyBugg.. its a bit expensive but you can get a GoWearFit that I heard is pretty much the same thing.

The main thing that it gives me is awareness.  I log every single thing I eat or drink and boy do you realize how much the little stuff adds up! Just doing that should help you out greatly.  It also shows you how little you burn throughout the day. On a regular day for me at 173- 5'5" I only burn 1700-1900 calories. So working out is mandatory to make any bit of difference considering my RMR (what my body needs to run correctly) is 1650. So that would only give me a 50-250 deficit and you need 3500 calorie deficit to lose just 1 single pound.

Go to myapex.com to learn more about it.  Its an amazing tool.

im taking the limpo six black and and working out and it is working great, I have lost weight already and I hope to get back down to 145, I put on about 35LBS with my lil girl and she is 5 months old now!

I gained 38 lbs during my pregnancy. I work out about 3 times a week for about 30 to 40 minutes and I have a body bugg too. I love the body bugg but yah they are a bit pricey. its been a little less than 5 months and I have about 5 more pounds to lose to be back to my prepregnancy weight. I think the best thing is to not give up on exercising.. even if you dont get any results for a month, sometimes thats all it takes for it to start melting off.

I go to a special docter/dietticin, he taught me how to eat the things I love without paying for it later. Simple things like switching most of your condiments out for LF or FF replacements make a big difference. I was 210lbs when we brought my son home from the hospital now I weigh 139lbs..My son is 21 months old so it didn’t happen over night but I think sticking to a goal of 1500calories or less per day and exercising a minimum of 4 times a weeks will put you on the right track..

When I started my body needed 1600 calories a day to be healthy enough for my active lifestyle, then I worked out for 30 min a day 5 days a week.. Now however I only intake 1,150 calories per day and burn an average of 600 calories 7 days a week at the gym through high impact aerobics & Pilates routine.

im so glad 2 see im not the only one!! mrs rusk and coralyn, what is the body bug?? i  gained 40 lb with my son who is now 5 months old and i wanna lose about 50. and i find it hard 2 lose this weight especially since im not that motivated....i just moved into a new house newly stationed @ kings bay and when my hubby goes bk 2 wrk in a few days i'll b home all day wit my son...

it would b nice to have some kind of sisterly support, cuz i need it..

This tells you all about the Bodybugg.  Its what they wear on their arms on the Biggest Loser.  If you ever watch it and hear them talking about "meeting their burn" or something like that they're referring to the numbers that the Bodybugg gives them. There is a forum on Sparkpeople that you can ask questions on if you're really interested.  I've only lost like 9 lbs since I started using it in January but since mid-February I've already lost 8 inches. So it definitely works.

okay thanx!...
