Welcome to the group StaceySaysRelax! I apologize for not responding sooner. Congratulations on your little one! That’s such a fun age!! It can be a challenge to lose weight when they are still breastfeeding at least it was for me but it is possible. Working out helps me by giving me some extra calories to work with and…

Hi Marie! Welcome to the group. 😃 It sounds like your crew has a lot of fun stuff to do outdoors. That’s great and I can totally relate with wanting to keep up with the boys. It seems like they’re always moving and it used to make me sad that I couldn’t really do the things I wanted to do with them. I vividly remember one…

If you're goal is to lose weight the only thing you need is a calorie deficit. There are a lot of strategies to get a calorie deficit. I'm a big fan of lean protein and veggies but if you are doing that much cardio and strength training 1200 calories is way too little. You're on the right track with meal planning and this…

Hi moms! Good for you for wanting to stay healthy for your little one. I struggled with weight gain during my 3 pretty much back to back pregnancies and I had a wake up call when I realized I wasn't going to be able to do very many of the fun, active things with my kids as they got older. I have 3 boys so I knew their…

What an amazing story and good for you for recognizing these mindsets about food and taking initiative to take control of your health. I wholeheartedly agree with you what an amazing resource MyFitnessPal has been in helping me have a healthy view of my diet and exercise habits. "but I got up, started eating healthy carbs,…

I agree it it didn't sound so bad until she started spouting the stuff about scheduling the cheat meal so you don't throw your hormones off. Testosterone...blah,blah,blah! No wonder why people are so confused about weight loss. It's not that complicated.

This dressing is really good! Whenever I go to Panera I get a Green Goddess Cobb salad and this dressing is the closet one I can find to theirs.

Also...did you say yet if you liked eggs? I saw somebody recommended egg whites and I have found them to be a really good low calorie way to get protein.

You've already gotten a lot of good advice but I just wanted to encourage you to keep with it. If you're already close to your goal and you're petite then the changes will likely happen slowly. I am 5' 3" and while I do eat meat I don't eat a lot of it. Logging accurately with a scale has worked wonders for me so I would…

Yes, meal prepping and logging for the win! They both save me from a lot of trouble. :)

It's so interesting how people differ in why they overeat. Logging has been so great at learning about myself in that way and I think it's so important to be aware of how your emotions affect you in this way.

I wish I could say I'm glad to hear there are others like me but at least we can share tips! I fully agree that exercise is a great stress reliever. That's actually been part of the problem is that my schedule has been so hectic that I'm having a hard time finding the time to exercise. One of the strategies I used to lose…
