This is not my first time trying this. But it is definitely time to get serious about it!
I have a 6 year old and a 3 month old and never lost the baby weight from my first baby.
I am breastfeeding, so I don't want to restrict calories too much but I need to stop sitting around eating Nacho Cheese Bugles all day! (Yum)
My main goal is to be healthy. My second goal is to look good naked.
We will see how that goes.
Please add me. I need all the support I can get!

    Hi there! Welcome to myfitnesspal :) I have been on here a while, but mostly just used it for calorie/activity tracking. I am just now getting into the aspect of the community and communication...

    Have you tried a low-carb nutrition plan? Even if you are low-activity, it can help you lose weight or simply keep the extra pounds off while still making sure you get enough balanced nutrition to keep your body healthy. I am not super strict about it, I slack quite a bit on the weekends, but during the week I'm more stringent and it balances out okay.

    My weakness is sweets, particularly chocolate, so I have found a few ways to substitute desserts that still relatively fall into the paleo category – I make lots of egg custards with coconut milk and use Truvia for sweetener (can’t use Splenda, it turns me into a noxious, foul smelling gas machine!). Lemon and horchata are my 2 recent favorites.

    What I really like about it is how much more energy I have when I eat good protein and fruits and veggies instead of carbs. And I lost about 10 lbs a couple years ago, just in one month, just from being really diligent. That did include some activity, but only about 10-20 minutes 5x a week. I have 2 kids too, that's all I have time for!
