in Getting Started
Hi all! I am a new mom looking for MFP friends who consistently track their food- the good the bad and the ugly. I like to publish my food diary and I like to look at others as well for ideas.
Just looking for motivation from others on the same journey.
Need to lose about 50lbs but am focusing first on getting out of the 200's.

    I lost 68lbs before my wedding in 2010. I watched my portions and ate the right foods and exercised 5-6 days a week. I gained every.single.pound. back (68lbs) when I was pregnant with my son in 2011. I've flucuated between the 20-30 pound mark and right now, I'm down 22. Since having Jaxon, I have not made an effort to make time for myself and continue to make excuses. I'm done with the excuses. I've been good for weeks using MFP then just stop- I'm on day 2 of the rest of my life. I'm sticking to it this time and starting to work out again. I think it's great to share our diary's so that we can get meal ideas and see what other mom are doing/eating so we won't fall off the wagon...and in my case... again!

    Hi, I'm looking for new friends, too. I don't have kids, but I have 20 years of teaching/nannying experience, so I've spent a lot of time with little ones!

    I like how you said you're on day 2 of the rest of your life. I feel the same way. Like, I don't necessarily LIKE tracking my food but I MUST do it. Here we go!

    I didn't see this post before posting the same thing!!!! I am a mommy of a 4 year old Girl and a 11 month old boy!!!! You would think after chasing after them, I would have lost a lot more weight.... I am looking to realistically lose anything! Lol I recently started tracking EVERYTHING (even my miniature snickers lol) so we shall see how this goes!

    I'm a new mommy also trying to shed that baby weight. I had my baby on Dec, 1, 2013 and have so far lost 30 of the 35 lbs I gained while pregnant. In that 7 week time frame I think that breastfeeding is what helped shave off those pounds. I would still like to lose more weight so I can be thinner than my pre-pregnancy weight. I just started today tracking religiously what I eat. I am also still nursing my LO.
