Postpartum Mommy Weight Loss(non mom's welcome too!)

This week I am down 2.6 pounds. Was 212 last week and 209.4 today

I'm in I had my son Oct 1. I was 172 when I had him. currently I am 154 goal weight is 135.

^ This. I also eat Fiber One Brownies (90 cal), Light & Fit Greek Yogurt (80 cal + protein) and Pure Protein Bars (the chocolate peanut butter ones have 20g of protein and only 2g of sugar but they're 200 calories). It helps with wanting sweets all the time. And I found 100 calorie ice cream cups at Walmart. Other stores sell Halo Top ice cream that's high in protein and only a hundred and something calories for half a pint.

Ill post my start weight on Monday -got to get the scale new batteries.

I am about 6 months pp, and have I think 25- 30 pounds to lose ... IIl know for sure Monday . This was my 4th little one (4 kids 7yrs and under) and it seems each time it gets harder and harder to bounce back. Ive been on MFP in the past but deleted my old profiles to start fresh.... I NEED buddies :-)

I have a weekness for sweets and have found many healthier dessert recipes to help kick my sweet tooth but still remain within calories. This week I made banana oat chocolate chip cookies and dark chocolate avocado truffles that are only around 70 caloroies each. I also allow myself a portion of what I crave. So if I really want chips I take one portion out of the bag or even half a portion, then I put the bag away and log it. As long as you are stopping there you should be fine. I find that I crave food more when I tell myself I can't have it. It is like reverse psychology because now that i have decided there are no forbidden foods my cravings are much more controlled.

Dark choc avocado truffles? Do you have a recipe??

Mash one medium avocado with a fork or mixer until there are no chunks. Mix in half a cup of melted chocolate chips. I melted them in the microwave. I added half a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until smooth and then put in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm it up. Them the messy part. Roll into balls I made about 10 but probably could have made them smaller. I use the recipe builder to figure out the calories per ball. Once rolled roll them in cocoa powder till covered. I put them in the freezer to get them firm and pull one out when I get a chocolate craving. You get all the benefits of the avocado and the antioxidants of the dark chocolate and something sweet and yummy.

I plan on eating "mindfully." I find that I am always reading or watching TV or chasing after my toddler when I eat. I plan on just sitting down and eating when I can and focusing on my meal. I hope to learn to control my portions that way and not let my snacking get a way from me.

I'm in. I had my 5th child in Sept. 2015. I still have about 20lbs to lose!

Starting weight 139
Goal weight 120

Hey everyone. So Saturday's are my weigh-ins. I was 196 last Saturday and was 194.6 today. I am really depressed though because yesterday I was 192.6. I'm having a really hard time today because of that. I actually ate under my calories yesterday, probably by too much. I didn't work out yesterday which was the first day in a week that I didn't due to being out all day and then exhausted. Then again today I couldn't workout and I'm even more depressed. Just need to get myself in gear abs know it's just normal fluctuations that the scale does and move on. But after the last few weeks of eating healthy and working out I just didn't want to see a 2 lb spike so soon in the game. I'll move on though. Just wanted to vent. Thanks

It is always discouraging to see the number go up on the scale but it is just a number. I can guarantee that you did not gain 2 pounds in fat unless you somehow ate 7000 calories above maintenance in one day. Just give it a few days and usually that number will drop. On Friday I was 209.4 and on Sunday it said 210.8. Of course I swore at the scale but knew what would happen. This morning I stepped on and it was down to 209. If you put the effort in you will see results. The important part is to not give up because that is how no progress is made and often you end up gaining everything back. This is my motto. Time passes regardless of what you are doing. You might as well take steps to live a healthier life and to reach your goals while the clock ticks on.

I really need to join this challenge! I had two back to back pregnancies leading up to the birth of my LO (the first ended in a loss late second tri, then I was pregnant again within a few months.

Starting starting weight was 145.

Starting weight for second pregnancy was 175, 217 at birth.

Currently 215 and really needing to feel like myself again. I don't even recognize this body and feel so tired all the time. I was at the gym lifting weights and running at 5 am every day before baby.

Right now just aiming to get under 200, then I will take it from there.

I'm in I had my second child 5the of august and with this pregnancy I put on alot of weight!!!! I was 80kg (176lb) when I got pregnant (still had some baby weight from my first pregnancy) and I got to 110kg (262lb) why pregnant I'm now 99kg (218lb) and his 9 weeks old my goal weight is 70-75kg (154-165lb) good luck mums!!!

Last week I was 209.4 and on this week's weigh in I am 207.8 which makes another 1.6 pounds lost. I am now 7.8 pounds from my New Years goal

Not sure why but my posts keep getting cut short.
