    I say go for it!!! I'd give them up too, but I'd have to start eating them in order to give them up, and that's not gonna happen!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    So I've read a lot lately about increasing calories for breastfeeding, I gave it a try this week....saw no weight loss or gain, but I felt like I was stuffing my face just to get in enough calories....I think I'll just go back to what this site suggests!

    Start weight with MFP was 290 lbs, my heaviest ever.
    Current weight 215 lbs!
    On my way to a healthy 180 lbs!!! Actually I should be aiming for 175 lbs, the high end of healthy BMI, but we'll see how I feel when I get there!!!

    I'm looking to be fit and healthy, not skinny skinny... a size 10 or 12 would make me feel like a million bucks! I am 5'10" with a large frame and I carry weight well, thankfully becasue I've carried a bit too much lately! :laugh:

    Wow, congrats on the 75 lb loss! that is so inspirational! I was wondering, and i asked this in the group last week, have you had any issues with loose skin yet with such a big weight loss? I have a total loss of 60 lbs to get off, and have lost 20 so far....but im just wondering what my body will look like once the next 40 lbs are off, and if theres anything i can do to help this along the way.....Anyhow, keep up the good work!

    WTG Team !! Keep up the great work !!!

    Wow, schweet. Had that customary buyers remorse for a couple hours after picking up the new car but I'm over it now. I don't know how I'm dropping the weight though, I haven't been watching my diet enough or getting to the gym enough lately, I guess it's the constant being on the go lately.

    Oh, and I had to share. The new car if anyone cares to take a peek:

    Thank you! I just had my last baby in March, so the tummy is a little lumpy! But it is getting tighter but it is pulling itself back together! As for my boobs, thankfully they are full of milk!!! :laugh: :laugh: With all the weight loss from before pregnancy they were getting a little saggy, nothing a good bra can't raise!!! But that's definietly my least favorite part of the weight loss! I figure lots of cardio to shed the fat and core exercises to strengthen the tummy will help!!! Keep up the great job too!!!

    Okay, so first day without my bread....and it actually wasn't as bad as i thought it would be....it was a bit of a challenge since i usually eat toast for breakfast, and i also usually have a sandwhich for lunch, but i used my noggin and thought up some different lower calorie things to replace the bread with......for breakfast i had oatmeal, and for lunch i brought some boiled eggs to get my protein, and brought lots of fruits....so overall....my day went well, i guess its all about substituting......i do like this sort of challenge tho, giving up something that i love for a week, i think it will help me stay away from all those heavy calories.......good luck to everyone else!

    mxburke, just a thought.

    There's many things that just go well in a sandwich especially toasted.

    I myself have cut out white bread for a while. I pick up 12 grain wheat bread.
    PB&J still taste good on whole grain bread.

    Hey guys!

    New to MFP - and sorry you must get asked this a lot - but how do I join the group and how do I keep checking updates for the group?

    This seems like a good way to keep each other in line!

    If you want to join, you just did. :bigsmile:

    We have a weekly thread with the same title just different date (Crazy Canucks "<date>". The thread is started each Wednesday which is our weigh in day. I'm sure some of the group members chat a little more via PMs but this thread is the dedicated source of discussion.
