Hi, I'm a new member here. I just had my fourth child nine months ago, and after gaining 48 pounds I'm still trying to lose 20. I miss my old body and I want it back!! I would appreciate any help or advice anyone can give. I'm hoping this works!!:)

Welcome:

Sunday was my 6th week and I have lost 11.2 pounds. I did not make many changes. I am exercising more, drinking more water and making better choices in what I eat. I am not depriving myself of what I eat. If I have a bad day, I don't let it get me down. I love My Fitness Pal and am so glad I decided to join. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

This is How I eat. See if it helps? I just change up the Meats, Veggies (I only eat corn once in a great while), Pasta ( I only have 1 oz at a meal) Different low cal snacks. If you exercise even just do a little walking, you can add more calories and have a little more. It's really not hard when you put a little work into it.
