New mommy/ any friends want to add me?
Hi :heart: I'm looking for some new friends. I just had a baby 7 weeks ago so I'm starting out slow but am trying to stay motivated to pay attention to my eating habits and stay active. It's cool if you're in the same boat as me (new mommy-wise) but if not I'd love ANY friend who's fairly active on MFP. Thanks :smile:

Plus I get stressed about having to log everything I eat, I can't relax until it…

Weighing your food.
I have been on MFP for about 75 days and in the beginning I was using measuring cups to measure my food and stay under my calorie goal.

Am I in starvation mode?
Over the past two weeks my weight loss has stopped. I'm actually kind of going up a few pounds, but i'm pretty sure thats because i don't defecate reguarly.
