    Hi team, I'm Tiffanie..I'm looking to lose at least 30-40 more pounds of pregnancy weight. I'm currently living in Florida, USA with my husband and 3 kids. I lost over 80 pounds after my second child was born and then got pregnant again....I gained about 60 pounds during my last pregnancy so for the past two years I've been struggling to lose it. I just found out tonight that I won a 12 week long weight loss competition at work (I lost a little over 17 pounds) so I'm excited to keep the momentum going! Good luck everyone!!!!!

    I will get there, you'reabsolutely right! I just need to stick with this...baby steps! My realistic goal for April is to lose 1-2 pounds per week. Would be a bonus to lose 3 pounds/week but I won't be greedy

    I totally understand haha I have been losing about 1lb per week I would love to lose more but I seriously love food too much. I did get a fitbit charge HR in Jan and it's really helped so much since it syncs right to MFP and tells me how many extra calories I have for treats

    How's everyone doing? I am concentrating hard and keeping focused to lose at least 2-3 pounds by my weigh in on Monday morning....I ate as planned, I'm working on my water intake, and did Jillian Michaels this morning before work and did a 30 minute jog after work in the hot Florida sun

    I love extra calories too but I don't even try to eat them all. I don't even really want a treat for my birthday in a couple of weeks cause I don't trust myself to not over indulge and veer off track!

    I'm looking forward to spending a little time in the hot Florida sun later in April when my husband and I take a mini vacation to Orlando for a few days. We plan to stick with planned eating and stay active while there. B)

    Sleep and non-processed foods are key for me. If I don't get enough sleep, my entire day is a struggle with food cravings and difficulty with focus. When I eat highly processed foods, I just don't feel as good, have less energy and I also have additional cravings for foods that I don't even enjoy.

    I am exactly the same way. Without enough sleep I lose all my motivation and end up eating too much and not working out. that's a big reason why I gained this weight in the first place- not enough sleep during my college years and too many treats available constantly.
    I try my best to reduce excess-sugar and processed foods from my diet as much as possible. It's pretty hard for me when they are readily available, but I am slowly learning to reach for the oranges instead of the fruit snacks. I'm really trying to incorporate mindful eating habits, which for me means sitting down to fully enjoy my food and not eating things straight out of the bag but rather pouring myself a bowl of something and forcing myself not to go back for seconds unless I really am still hungry. Yesterday was my first full day of avoiding processed food/ sugary treats since before Easter, and I'm hoping to keep up the streak during the weekend. I think that having a group hold me accountable shall really help me reach my weight loss goals :)

    wishing everyone a good and healthy Friday !!

    Hi All,

    I'm weighing in on Fridays. I have a first goal of losing the baby weight from my fourth baby, so about 20-25 pounds and then my secondary goal would be to hit the top weight for my height: 164, another 20 pounds. Thanks @JMarcella57 for the weigh-in reminder!

    @ddahlia14 - Welcome to the group! Keeping up with 4 children sounds like it's own workout routine!

    Hi, just a quick question. How strict is our weigh-in day? I have mine scheduled for Sundays, but I will be out of town and won't have access to a scale on Saturday and Sunday. I was wondering if I could weigh-in on Monday for just this week? Thanks !

    I've checked and that's fine since you're out of town. Sometimes things happen. Thank you for asking the question.

    Last week was hectic for me and I didn't sleep well. (Bad combination!) But I slept great last night and today I'm looking forward to making sure the kitchen is ready for the coming week. Will be prepping veggies and making menus. I function so much better when I've had enough sleep and life is a little better organized.

    @JMarcelle57 That's a Sunday ritual for me. I pre-package all my veggies and fruits for the week and make hard boiled eggs. I find it motivating. I hope you get an entire week of great sleep this week! It makes such a difference!
  • Hey everyone sorry I've not logged in as much as normal, it's half term so we've been very busy but I'm going to try to log in more over this week, hope you're all doing ok! Xx
  • How's everyone getting on this week so far? Any tips for avoiding snacks while the kids are home? X
