Hello! I joined MFP back in December before I had my youngest son. He was born Jan 5th. I also have a 3 year old. I just had my 6 week apt and am finally able to work out etc again! I need all the help I can get on my weight loss journey! I need to lose about 60 pounds to get back to where I was before kids.

    Hello, i've been doing MFP for a few months and i'm kinda confused. I'm 57,5ft tall & workout 6 days a week, 3miles a day & also do 30min segment of lower, upper & ab workouts in addition. One day of the week I did a 5mi workout. Of course I'm giving each a day of rest on the 30 min segments. I've lost 38 pounds in about a couple of years doing different wgt loss plans. Since adding additional 30 min segments, i've noticed i went up a few pounds. My friend says it's because of that. I do use 6lb wgts for arms & fit cuff for legs. Could that be the reason for wgt gain? Also, I have my goals set at 1200 & eat my exercise calories. Why does it tell me at the end of the day I'm under my calories? Please explain the Goal, Food, Exercise & Net thing for me or please direct me to that section! I'm so confused and upset with scale showing more!!! I hate scales. My clothes fit fine, tho. I'm more interested in inches but the #s on the scale bother me. At one time I had upped my Goal #'s but I lost my weight with 1200 calories & eating my workout calories and so my sister in law who is a registered dietician says i need to start at 1200 & eat my calories worked out. CONFUSED :/ HELP Thank you!

    I am in the same boat as you, my daughter is 2 and 1/2 too. It sure doesn't come off easy at all. I just started three weeks ago and have had little progress.
    Feel free to add me too.

    Lol...I am also trying to lose some baby weight...my youngest turns 14 in May! You are eleven years ahead of me!

    I am looking to add some friends, so feel free to add me if you wish.

    Good luck to everyone just starting out. I started on MFP early last month, and have been very fortunate so far. Logging in my calories works so well for me that I have lost 23 lbs. I am expecting it to get much tougher as time goes on, so I just started exercising (long walks) a few days ago.
