Daily Post Sunday 6/5
Track: Yes
Calories: under
Exercise: Yes, some housework and gardening
Goals/Day/Comments: Hi there I'm Kim, mom of three small children. I struggle with being consistent with my weight loss so I'm hoping being here will help keep me on track.
@KimR_1986 Hi Kim, and welcome. Being in this group has definitely helped keep ME on track. I've taken breaks periodically for vacations, or when I didn't feel like logging / posting everyday so just weighed in weekly, but overall it has been a tremendous help!!1 -

Daily Post: Tuesday (6/7)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes - Under
Exercise: Yes (30 min. Hatha Yoga, 30 min. Light Rowing & 30 min. Light strength training)
Goals/Day/Comments: Had a terrible nights rest thanks to my PTSD (13 min. Deep/ 1 hr. 28 REM, 3.10 light, the rest of my 8.5hrs in bed registered as awake). My sleeping BPM shot up & down like a roller coaster all night from 43 to 126! It’s been almost 20 years & remains a difficult topic. I wish mental health wasn’t taboo. Nobodies pain should be wrapped in shame but it frequently gets dressed that way. I don’t want or need pity, a little bit of compassion or empathy goes a long way. Still sore on top of exhausted. Took a much needed rest & recovery day (still moving) which included meditation & a nap.💧144 oz. - Over, ⛑ 15 (158) - Working towards, 👟 6,269 - Under

So my Fitbit isn't syncing again 😠 my diary says I'm over by 14 calories but I did a spin class after dinner so I know I burned those off.
I'm going to reserve judgement on the new interface for now...
@DaffyGirl88 - They have a group forum on the new interface. Hoping you shared your comment there. My Apple steps & active workouts didn’t import correctly either. I noticed other people sharing similar info good for them to know what bugs need fixin’.
P.S. Go you!

@Mrscanmore you absolutely can change your day. And I totally get being hungrier. Long rides do that to me too. Maybe find a filling high protein snack to have right after?1 -

Stick with it @Mrscanmore and don’t get discouraged. Accountability is key & you’ve got this! I’m freshly back on the wagon but I know at times your gut can play tricks on you & it may need to readjust. Water, water, water and small yet mighty snacks. Maybe re-check your BMR & adjust your input/goal (if necessary) to compensate for the exercise. Hang in there girl, your team is here for you!

Hang in there @LMK02020, you’ve got this. The rain has been messing with me bunches here too and it has me thinking. How can we support eachother when the weather interferes with our plan?0

I wish I could! It’s not that easy
Logging is time consuming with a busy schedule. I cook all my meals and have to take the time to create recipes in the app. Since I’m making a lot of changes, it is easier to know what foods I will be eating and then create recipes, then continue tracking from there.
I found out some more information about my current meals and had to create all new recipes/foods to log. I had to eliminate all the recipes I created and make new ones. Im working on the foundation of a long term lifestyle. The way I eat now is the way I’m going to be eating once I reach weight/health/fitness goals. It takes time to set a solid foundation for long term success.
My weight loss is probably going to be at a slower pace now.
I might gain this week since body is going through a diet change, hopefully not, fingers crossed!1 -

Hi everyone!
I'm a new mum struggling to lose all weight I put on during pregnancy. I'm not new to weightloss though as I have gained and lost a few times before, but this time seems to be more difficult as I can't exercise as I used to.
My baby girl is 5 months old and she is amazing. I accept that my body isn't the same as it was prepregnancy, so she is my WHY for weightloss. I babywear a lot and the extra weight I'm carrying, plus her weight is putting huge pressure on my knees. I want to be lighter so I can play with her and be fit enough to include her in all my adventures without even thinking about it.i want to be the best possible version of myself for her, and to be a good example of eating well.
Looking forward to being in this challenge and working towards my goals with you all!2 -

@BlissfulK Shoowee that's a lot of work! 😯 This is why I eat the same thing every day for lunch, grilled chicken breast. I cook it up on Sunday, parse it out into 5 containers for the week, and I'm done. None of that daily "what am I gonna have for lunch today?" stuff for me. I've listened to people at work (when I used to go into the office) discuss lunch for two hours. Should we have McD's, Subway or pizza today? 😕 Me, I just grab a container and my salad and I'm good to go.
We eat very simply at home. I have a couple of recipes created but we typically just have a protein, a vegetable and a salad for dinner (lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, onion). Because of that logging is pretty quick and easy. I just scroll down the first page of my Frequent Foods tab and check the boxes. 😊
Good for you for putting this much thought and effort into it! 👍🏆2 -

Thanks for sharing, what a beautiful story. I have 3 kids and for me the post pregnancy weight was the easiest to shed every time. All I had to do was walk a couple miles a day & nurse but everybody’s body is different. I’m at the biggest hill I’ve ever had to climb (metaphorically) but I’m determined. The hardest part for me right now is running out of breath, still recovering from CoVID (November). Wish I had recommendations for your knees, hopefully someone else on here has some wisdom for you.
P.S. Love the pic! I love to kayak too. If I could be on the water every day I would.0 -

Hi same boat with trying to lose the baby weight, my youngest is 8 months. I always find the pre pregnancy weight the hardest to lose, but now I've stacked together 3 kids worth it. I baby wear too and it does do a number on me but it does get easier as I get used to his currently 25lb wiggling load. But we can do this!0 -

@ajdvegan My why is similar. Since I'm a "few" years older than you
I'm looking to be able to play with my grandbabies. Last year I taught my 3 yo grandson how to log roll down a hill. I know that MY grandparents never did anything like that. They sat in a chair and smelled slightly musty. I hope to be out kayaking and riding my bike for many years yet. 1 -

@DaffyGirl88 I would love to but by the looks of the landscape you don’t live anywhere near me (Colorado, US)
Tried to add a pic of recent trip to Lake Powell (late March) but MFP upload keeps failing.0
