What are you doing/avoiding to get back in shape? Avoiding junk food. Eating healthy lunches and snacks.

How did you do last week? I thought I did well....but I gained a pound.

What goals do you have for yourself this week? Just keep it up and don't give up hope. Setting the bar pretty low this week.

Frustrations/Bitches/Gripes ? I feel like I am stuck already. I ate good last week, but I gained a pound as of this morning. I did have Pizza Hut Friday night and Arbys on Saturday and I had 3 beers during the super bowl last night. I have almost no appetite anymore, I eat such smaller portions than I used to, but the weight is not budging.

Anything you would like to AW ? I would like to AW that I only had 1 slice of pizza friday night and didn't even finish my curly fries from arbys on saturday...........but since I gained a pound from last week, I don't think I deserve any AW'ing.
Portion control didn't save me this weekend.

I am back at the gym four days a week and I have definitely cut back on the sweets. But, I keep losing and regaining the same two pounds. The weight flew off with my first baby, but not this time around. Still, I am only a couple of pounds up from where I was before I got pregnant with my first one, so I can't complain too much.

I bought a fitbit this weekend and am trying it out. I'm about 7lbs higher than my pre-baby weight (but I was underweight pre-pregnancy). I want to get my stomach back in shape, so I'm hoping being more aware of my activity will help.

What are you doing/avoiding to get back in shape?
I'm doing mfp and running/strength training.

How did you do last week?
Just okay. I got my miles in and they felt good, but I had pizza three nights in a row. And I sucked at my goal of reducing beer and coffee.

What goals do you have for yourself this week?
I should just say increase water, since I'm not good at reducing the other liquids.

Frustrations/Bitches/Gripes ?
Things are so delicious.

Anything you would like to AW ?
I haven't weighed myself, but I'm feeling leaner and just overall better, regardless.

mander82 I bet your pound won't be there tomorrow! Beer can make you retain water, right?

Yeah,  I am pretty sure it does that.   I hate not seeing progress this week...but I have to keep on keeping on.
The thought of having another 19 pounds to lose to get back to my BFP weight is so daunting.
I can't be stuck already!  I just can't!!

Nine months on, nine months off- can't rush perfection

Maybe you're not eating enough now? It's such a tough balance. I'm struggling to find the right amount of calories I need for the day. I gained weight too, just not sure when it happened. I hadn't been on the scale in maybe 2 weeks (but the number was almost 5 lbs heavier   )

What are you doing/avoiding to get back in shape? I'm trying to get back into doing as much yoga as I can. Also trying to get to the gym for weight training. Trying to avoid sugar. I think I might go back to a vegetarian or even vegan diet. That was the thinnest I had ever been. 

How did you do last week?
Crappy. Snow storms= hot chocolate and comfort foods. I only got to yoga once and that was yesterday. 

What goals do you have for yourself this week? Do yoga whether I'm in a class or just hitting up good ole colleen saidman online for her trusty videos

Frustrations/Bitches/Gripes ?
I hate winter! Sooo hard to stay on track. I want to just get outside, take LO for walks, etc. Can't do that with now almost 4 feet of snow.

Anything you would like to AW ?
I did some crazy poses in yoga that I was never able to do before last Friday (nighttime, hot yoga). Was awesome. However, not long lasting, was unable to do some of those yesterday, (morning, regular)

What are you doing/avoiding to get back in shape? At this point, I'm just trying to eat healthier, I definitely need to get more active.

How did you do last week? Meh. I just keep bouncing around the same 1-3 lbs. Hopefully getting more active will get me over this hump.

What goals do you have for yourself this week? I'd like to get back on the treadmill and start flattening this belly back out.

Frustrations/Bitches/Gripes ? I feel like I never have time to exercise. DD is soooo worth it, but all of the other stuff is getting in the way. I just need to knuckle down and make time...somehow.

Anything you would like to AW ? Not weight related, but DD finally slept for 3.5 hours last night...in a row! During her second stretch, she didn't sleep very well, but still, this is HUGE progress!

Sorry to jump in so late on this one, but I somehow managed to not see it before...

What are you doing/avoiding to get back in shape? Trying to stick to healthy meal options and weight training/crossfit and cardio still.

How did you do last week? I feel pretty good about it, other than the struggle of craving sweets. I think I managed to not listen to those cravings more times than not This time around.

What goals do you have for yourself this week? Just to keep motivated... I can see why people give up on this regularly.

Frustrations/Bitches/Gripes ? Still stuck at the same weight that I've been at for almost 10 weeks now. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that I lost so much the first two weeks, but I'd really love to at least get some of the last 6 off.

Anything you would like to AW? I ran my fastest post-pregnancy mile last week at 6:46!! That's down from my first post-pregnancy mile which I finished at 7:53! Aaand forgive me for multiple AWs, but I hit a personal record on my dumbbell snatches at 30lb (you basically grab a dumbbell from off the floor using only one arm and in one fluid motion pull it up off the ground and end with that arm straight above your head with the weight)!!
