Good morning MFP peeps, I want to know you guys opinion. I lost 28 lbs prior to joining this site, so do you think I should include that on my progress or not.

Thanks in advance for your input :tongue:

    If it would help with your motivation, why not? I've lost 23 lbs in less than two weeks. granted, I just had a baby (a little less than 7 lbs of that), but it's done wonders for my motivation, so I've posted it. :)

    YES! I was up to 214....lost a little weight and was 206 when I started this site. So, I logged in my beginning weight of 214 to see how much I have accomplished. YEs....it makes you feel better and gives you more motivation!

    Thanks! :) I think a lot of it was water weight, but during the first few days after delivering (I had a C-section, I don't know if that changes things), I was sooooo thirsty, so I found myself drinking over 160 oz. of water a day. The thirst subsided after awhile, but I'm still drinking at least 100 oz/day. I'm also nursing my baby full time, and will pump about once a day. I like to have extra milk on hand, just in case.
    As far as diet goes, I'm on 1700 calories/day. No exercise yet, won't be cleared to do that until my 6 week checkup. However, I walk when I can, but I don't log it, since I'm walking for healing purposes, and go very slowly.
    I think that's it. The combination of drink tons of water, nursing and eating approximately 1700 calories a day seems to be working well. I'm about 156 lbs, and 5'2.
    Hope this helps!

    How do you change your ticker? I thought about changing my starting weight to what it was before I started losing weight too, not just once I joined MFP,,,
