I am now a year pp (happy birthday to ds!). I lost about 20 lbs in the first 7 months, and still have another 25 to go. Problem is, I really have no self control. As long as we dont have any junk in the house, I'm ok. But my dh is a BIG nosher, and purim made things so much worse.
Please dont take this as another pp mom going nuts about her last 5 lbs. Its a real problem that I cant ignore the fact that there is nosh in the closet. And if its there, I have to finish it so I can start dieting Rolling Eyes

.

when I lost, I was on weight watchers core plan and doing alot of walking outside. as the weather got cool and I couldnt go out anymore, I stopped losing, and my motivation went down the drain.

dh is no help. he wont let me dump the junk, and he noshes all nite long. he could stand to lose a couple of pounds too but he doesnt seem to care.

and I'm a stress eater. and ds started doing his all nite screaming again....you can figure out the rest of the story..

I NEED SERIOUS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gosh, I could have written your post almost exactly. I am 10 months PP and I also have no self control. I also say that if there is junk in the house I have to finsih it so that there will be nothing for me to nosh on. I would be very interested in hearing what others can help with this.

omg, I could've written your post word for word. Especially about finishing the knosh so that I could start dieting.

I'm hoping that with the coming of the warmer weather, I will be out of the house more and more active. and not stuck at home eating.

I try to keep fruit in the house. I force myself to eat fruit first, if I still want the nash afterwords I'll eat it.

That's what I'm doing right now. Argh! I wish that EVERYONE would send out cards or not give anything rather than sending me junk food! We didn't even get so much, but it's still too much!

CM, I've been working out 5 days a week and I'm still not losing weight because I eat too much.

I got you beat, Defy. I do cardio seven days a week and weights 2-3 times a week. AND I've gained.

I've also gained!!!!! I just jogged 3 miles and now I'm eating Mike and Ikes.

I love to eat. I think about food all the time and spend my spare time looking at cooking websites and blogs.

twiz, since we both have to lose the same amount, and we are both in a rut, do you want to be my weight loss buddy?

I'd love to, but I'm not sure if just the fact that I have a buddy will help me. I kind of have an incentive; I promised myself that if I get to my goal by my brothers bar mitzva in august, I can purchase a new outfit, but it seems so far off, and who knows if I'll even have the money then?

I guess it also doesnt help that I am constantly exhausted and that probably wont go away too fast. my kids really tire me out, and we're iyh moving in 2.5 weeks and I'll probably have to pull a few all nighters to get all the packing done.

well, I kinda stopped losing weight when you did. I felt like I had to keep it up for the weight watchers thread. I would love to lose 25 lbs by august. that would be about 5 lbs per month- which is totally doable.
so....I'll go on a diet tomorrow if you will. Can't today since I just ate lots of donuts. Crying

I can't stick more than 2 days on core. I'm doing flex.

I don't have that much stuff left to oink on. I didn't give that many, and I got a lot of beer, wine, and grape juice this year.

I gave my kids the stuff they like and donated some to a shul for the kiddie program.

Just some chocolates are left, and I ration that out to myself. The Pesach stuff I put away.
