I AM STARVING!!!!!

lol people should read your posts & others before replying. anyway, try increasing your protein & fiber more during the day, you said you're getting a decent amount, but for whatever reason MFP keeps those values low on here, when they could be much higher & maybe try walking or something low impact to add in some extra calories you can eat at the end of the day. also water, water, water! raw veggies are filling & yummy or try freezing seedless grapes, they taste like sorbet ) delicious! good luck & congrats!

Are you able to get out and walk around at all? I lost 8lbs of baby weight second time round in 2 weeks just by walking several hours a day (with the baby in a sling and the 2 year old in a buggy). I think it's a bit rubbish the military expect you to be back to fitness so soon after having a baby. It take 9 months to make a baby, and at least 9 months to physically recover after.

I agree that the sodium amounts should come down, you're getting nearly the double amount each day. Even just substituting an egg for the egg beaters would help.

Are you logging all your food? There are several days where you are way under 1200 calories. Anything under 1200 is isn't good, and if done for an extended time, could put your body into starvation mode and wreck havoc on your metabolism.

I see that you have your goals set at 2lbs per week. I would try the 1 lb per week setting and see what happens. I know that for myself, 2 lbs per week put me at 1200 calories, and 1 lb per week is 1430. I've also lost 2 pounds this week so far.

I know that you want the weight to come off quickly, but just remember, it didn't go on over night either! I tell myself that whenever I get discouraged!

The Red Bull cannot be helping. Suger Free drinks are now known to increase your appetite and make you feel hungry. With my kids I did breastfeed so I lost the weight quickly. Since that is not a choice for you now, just try healthier meals with fresh cooked meats instead of so much processed food. A big salad with fresh pork tenderloin or shrimp is a lot tastier and more filling without all the salt. Good Luck.

I am sure others have suggested this, but increase you intake just a bit. Try adding things like nuts to your diet. They have the good fat and protein. Plus they will keep you full and it is easy to grab a handful while chasing after kids.

As for exercise,have to checked out something like Leslie Sansome's walking dvds. They are my go to to a low impact workout. I have comcast cable and they have some of her workouts onDemand for free.

I know these next two suggestions are going to be really hard, but I'm gonna toss them out anyway. First nearly impossible suggestion: Try and get more sleep....I know really hard with a baby, but it will help you lose weight. My second not so easy suggestion is try not to stress about the weight loss. I know the stress involves you career, but stress hormones make you hold onto weight in the worst way.


Good luck to you!!!!

I follow a low-carb plan with as much protein and fat as I need to feel satisfied. I eat about 1500 calories daily and I have lost 35# since January 14th. I"m thrilled and I am rarely hungry.
