Welcome everyone, it is great to have more people joining in!

Shelleydiehl- I too am nursing my baby, she just turned one though, and i didn't lose the weight as expected. Everyone talks about how great it is and how much weight they lost while breastfeeding, and it would always frustrate me. The 500 calories is just a general guideline, some moms need more, and some (like myself) need less. The general advice is to not eat less than 1500-1800 calories if you are trying to lose weight, as this may effect your milk supply. I make sure not to eat less than 1500.
I have only been actively trying to lose weight for the last month, and have lost 2-3 pounds a week by following what mfp says i should eat for my calories, and then by adding in 200 calories for bf under the exercise tab, and eating my exercise calories. I have been walking quite a bit too. This has worked for me, and it hasn't affected my milk supply, but i have a lot of weight to lose, i started out with 105 lbs to lose! Plus, my daughter does eat some solids, but not much and is mostly bf still.

Good luck, and let you me know if you have any questions.

New years would be great, i should be almost halfway to my goal by then!

I haven't been successful in finding mrsprasak05,by emailing her ,nor have I found links to her or the others missing!Like Leefitforlife....I like countdown to New year, New me! Much Better 'n' anything I could think of right now!I was hoping to have hit my goal by then, but am not hitting the fitness level or weight loss goals I'd hope to by now, so a further off date may be necessary! OR maybe a good name would be : Healthier by holidays?Healthy and fit in 2010?I Dunno!I am going on vacation for a few days come this Sunday, The 23rd.- be back later in day, the 26th.So I will check in early , and let you know if I've lost anymore by Sunday.Thanks for getting another link going fiftyandfit!Hope we find our other friends!I miss the quotes.

We'll see how things move along once the kids are back to school the 2nd of Sept. MAYBE I 'LL ADJUST. i wanted to be 165 by the end of this month, but that Probably ain't happening.!Going to to take the kids for a quick dip, at the local lake, Then it's off to work. Take care!

happy friday!!!

Don't be too hard on Yourself, ClassiC, Stress does effect our efforts to eat healthier and exercise, but in the end, you have to find a middle ground with both that you can live with doing the rest of your life. So don't fret, Keep trying, we won't give up on you. It's great that you are continuing to go to school, and better yourself, no matter what your age, though if that is your pic under your name, you look fairly young.I'm suffering the side effects of that TOM, ALSO, so I sympathize with you on that front, too.I have been giving in to the sweet, and salty cravings.I gain like 5 lbs of water weight.I ate cookies and some sour gummies yesterday,as well some pepperoni , cheese and crackers. Today will be better day!I will be leaving tomorrow morning to go to a beach in Maine , (about a 4 hr drive from where I live in Western MA.) I will be back late Wednesday, so , Don't think I've given up,as I won't be on the computer for about 4 days.I will hopefully be over that TOM, and on my way again to a slimmer, healthier, me.Anyone heard from Mrsprasak, I can't seem to find her. Hope she 's o.k. Here's a quote I got through belief.net.:
Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.- Victoria Holt.

So Don't live life full of regret. Keep moving forward toward your goals, if you slip, as you probably will,learn from it, and move on.Thanks ,fiftyandfit, Yes , I'm sure it will be easier once the kids are back to school. I'll keep trying, and I will reach my goal.I would love to be about 155 before Thanksgiving, But as the fable The tortoise and the Hare" Teaches us, Slow and Steady wins the race., So if I don't quite, get there, I 'll still continue on this, journey, Knowing I have you all, to rely on to catch me if If I fall. Corny, I KNOW, but true, I Look forward to seeing you all next week. Don't lose sight of your goals!Tamara
