Thanks everyone - you're all so supportive! We have a treadmill in our basement so I've been using that 4 or 5 times a week for 30 minutes at 4.0mph. That's the only exercise I've incorporated, though I know I should be lifting too... I know lots of people do better with variety, but I like the boring, same-exercise-every-time method, LOL! I'm sure my body will crave variety eventually, and I'm also sure that it'll be better to switch it up, but so far it's working for me... Another pound down as of this morning, yay! Good luck to everyone -- this can be a solitary process in a lot of ways, so it's really nice to be in a community of people who are doing it too!0 -

Thanks! MFP initially set my calorie goal as 1350, but then when I lost about 10 pounds, they recalculated it as 1260 (this almost made me cry, and not in a good way, LOL!) So I"m at 1260 now. I've realized that I snack a TON, and this works for me. Here's my typical diet:
BREAKFAST: oatmeal, a bit of milk in it, and COFFEE (I put this in all caps because I have a 3-yr-old and a 1-yr-old, LOL), usually a banana too
MORNING SNACK: Chobani Greek yogurt, usually
LUNCH: turkey on light wheat bread (45 calories per slice) with mustard, plus a bunch of baby carrots and a few pretzels
SNACKS: apple, granola bar, sometimes a handful of almonds
DINNER: this varies a lot, but I usually try for 300-400 calories, whatever it is (recently: stir-fry, or chicken tacos, or spaghetti with tempe and wheat pasta, or aloo gobi with brown rice)
POST-DINNER SNACK: Jello chocolate pudding (60 calories), a cup of tea late at night before bed usually
I really am a snacker!! I try to drink the required amount of water, but it's not easy...0 -

Thanks!! I sent it to the organization "Locks of Love," which makes wigs for kids who have lost their hair (due to chemotherapy, or alopecia). If anyone has long hair and is planning to cut it, you should check out this organization -- they're awesome! www.locksoflove.org0 -
Way to go!!!!! It is very noticeable, and you look so happy!0

Wow! Great victory!!
I started off at 162 lbs as well! I was 5 months postpartum, and it was in early November. I'm 142 now (at 5'0"). I still have 7 more lbs to pre-pregnancy weight and then another 15-25 to goal, but it is SO encouraging to see other women who have made it to their pre-pregnancy goal and are still truckin' along!
Good work!! And that's actually a VERY impressive pace to have lost the weight. I'm astonished!0 -
