Started last week and with a lot of care and planning lost 3pds. This week has been so hard to stick to anything, back pain, night feeds and general tiredness with hormones up and down have not helped! I'm worried I'll have put the 3 pas on and more by Sat

3 lbs is a lot for 1 week... Are you breastfeeding? I would focus on 1 lbs/week. I can't vouch for the medical legitimacy of this statement - but I think that the slower the weight loss happens, the less likely you are to yo-yo and put it back on. JMO!

I’m in!

I know im late but im in (: add me yall !

How's everyone doing? Haven't heard from the OP in a while :-/
I'm down 2 lbs (down 3, and then up 1 because of that a-hole TOM) but I'm not letting myself get de-railed.

I am having a hard time with my calorie in take - I'm using the BMR - 15%TDEE calculation recommended by the Pro's on here. But I can't tell if it's too much or too little. Anyone have a better calculation?

Count me in too! I am a yo-yoer. Gaining and losing, but mostly gaining recently. I keep having to buy larger trousers and I am so darn tired of it. Fell off the SW wagon too as I need bread in my life, and would overeat on pasta and carbs too. I need to educate myself about food, its content and its use! I had my last baby four years ago and I still look pregnant. Friend me group!

Ugh, the other day I was going through my closet and counted 11 pairs of trousers that don't fit me. No more, no less. I wear the same three pairs.


I am definitely in!

I'M IN I NEED TO LOOSE 27 POUNDS

I'M 5 FT TALL AND I WEIGHT 147.4 POUNDS TOO MUCH FOR A LITTLE PERSON

Ok - so at this point I'm just venting. Lol. Sorry... not sorry.

For the past two weeks I've been fluctuating like mad on the scale due to TOM and water retention. Today when I woke up, I weighed 155.6 - the exact weight I was 2 weeks ago before all of that craziness started. So, I feel like I'm back to where I left off.

I've been reading the message boards recently and trying to look for the "expert" level advice. I had a wake up call that I'm really not being as diligent with my calorie counting as I should be - I'm eyeballing too much, I'm not double checking the accuracy of the foods in the MFP diary (apparently it's full of errors, even with the green check mark!) and it could all be adding up to a lot of un-logged calories.

I've decided I'm going to start weighing all of my calorie dense foods (proteins, fats, carbs) -- not so much my fruits and veggies because who cares -- and I'm going to be really strict about staying right at 1600.

I'm hungry at 1600 - really hungry. But at 1750 I'm only losing 1/2 lb per week, and I have to be in a bathing suit soon lol. So that ain't gonna work.

Happy weekend ya'll!
