I didn’t really mention diet fads. But you sound like you know what you’re doing so good luck 👍🏼🍀

Okay so forget about all that diet crap. I think another important thing is to make sure that you tone in between workouts so that as you lose weight you won't have as much or any access skin. That's what I've been trying to do because I have the C-section Pooch and I know that if I don't tone while I lose weight it's still going to be there. It'll probably always be there but I'm hoping to get it as little as possible.

@armywife72515 I struggle to exercise as well

@ehenzon again I'm not one for fads. I'm not gonna do crossfit, I'm not gonna eat only kale or whatever the latest "superfood" is right now. I like normal food, and it may take a while but I'm trying..

Also if you can get into it interval training is optimal for weight loss.

Even if short on time you can do HIIT workouts. They do test your limits but the results are fantastic.

Your bikes will be a great idea! I don’t think you can get to a good weight with diet alone. But def work on cardio before lifting weights. I did that last time and lifted weights and though it does burn more calories I kept my big ass arms

@ehenzon probably once I had Molly I was in the 170s ish. I've been using myfitnesspal for almost a year ish

If you track your calories and workout you can lose the weight!!!! I started working out a month and half ago I lost 10 lbs with my fitness pal and doing about 2 mile walk with incline on treadmill about 3 times a week. But everyday I did a small little workout before bed it’s from an app called “30 day challenge”. Do your workouts for a week and when you see that scale move promise that’ll be your motivation.

I know I was tired of looking in the mirror and hating myself. I also would like to get back to 120s but my realistic goal will be 140. I started at 160

@armywife72515 that's awesome!!! To be honest you wouldn't catch me on a bike.

@mommiesaremagical14 I have a decent well rounded diet, its just exercise. We recent bought bikes and we get to pick them up today. For someone who hasn't even touched let alone ridden a bike in about 10yrs I was pretty good at it.

@armywife72515 I'm not either but it actually worked and I like the food. I do eat healthy to begin with but it really did help jump-start my weight loss

@mommiesaremagical14 I'm not one for fad diets, my hubby is in the Army so I know for a fact that his unit doesn't make decent food

@armywife72515 for example I decided to try the military diet I did it for 3 weeks and I lost 10 lb but then I fell off the wagon I've only gained 2 lb back but I would like to get back into doing the diet again.

@armywife72515 I have it too and I use it but some days well most days I forget. An accountability partner is just someone to help keep you motivated to swap meal ideas exercise plans things like that. I only suggested it because I think it's hard to do that kind of stuff alone when to have somebody with you doing it with you can help with motivation and to keep you on track

@mommiesaremagical14 that's why I use myfitnesspal for

@armywife72515 ill tell you what. If you want some help I can be your accountability partner. We can message each other everyday and talk about what we're eating what we're doing today what exercises were doing whatever. Be there to keep each other motivated if you'd like. Don't let Society pressure you into thinking you need to be a size non-existent because you don't. If you want to lose weight and become healthy do it for yourself and your child not for anyone else that is irrelevant in your life.

@mommiesaremagical14 thanks...my hubby does too but there's the social pressure from media to get thin, and there's a big baby boom at my church and the woman doesn't even look like she was pregnant after she has him/her...and yet here I am a mess and apparently still look like I'm pregnant...

I think you look beautiful. But I completely understand and if you need any motivation, support or just to talk I'm always here.
