I am sorry for your loss. Take the time to grieve and eat well to recover from your cold. Don't worry about anything else. You already educated your own body on what to eat and how much, so you will make some good choices without even thinking. And even if you eat too much you already know how to lose it. You will get back…

I echo some of the comments above. I, too, have been calculated at a 1200 calorie with MFP, which means that I do have to eat some exercise calories as I feel needed. Also I set up my goal at 0.5 per week at the advice of some amazing people here. They are right about taking it slow. If you starve yourself you will just…

Yep. Yep. :smile:

I hear you. I used to have 116 pounds before the baby and I had been stable at that weight for years and years. Very fit. I used to do martial arts. After the baby (8 months old here) I weight 127 pounds. You would think that is nor a lot, but oh boy, it is. It all went on my tummy and on my back. I've been going to the…

Makes sense and thank you for the lesson on formulas. I'm going to stick to MFP and eat back some of the calories. It's pretty easy to keep track of it this way. I'm logging all my calories lost via Cardio (strength training) since I didn't figure out how to add them in the Strength category. Thank you again for the…

I had 0.75/week and changed it to 0.5 My calorie goal updated to 1250 :) 50 cals...what is that? 3 peanuts? :)))

Ok, so 1200 should be a relatively good goal for me. Yes, I know I can eat back some calories. I don't seem to be hungry... More like craving, but that is another problem. I saw on a few sites that I should target 1200 calories per day for "extreme" weight loss, and that to maintain I should eat around 1700 (1500 being a…

Could do more push-ups than me.

Breasts are fat with muscles behind. You can tone up the muscles but you can't tell the fat to go only in your boobs. You just have to wait and see if nature will do something for you, otherwise you will just have to learn how to cope with it. Now, I have a tip from my grandma :)))) alternate hot and cold showers on them.…

I haven't looked at your diary, but I wanted to say that if you just started the exercising 5 weeks ago and you did only 2-3 times per week this is about the time you would start seeing results. It happened to me as well and I don't know how to explain it properly, but after I had a baby and was left with 12 pounds to lose…

My poison is Pepsi :) I drink about 1-2 per day if I have it. The secret here is not to have it handy. For example, when I crave it I make sure to send hubby to do groceries and he won't buy it. Then if I don't have it in my house I just don't consume it. It's easier when I am at work cause I am so busy that I barely have…

I'm not much of a role model, but I can relate. I just had a baby and I'm still struggling losing the baby fat. Funny, I didn't think it will be this hard. I used to be very fit, I did martial arts for 11 years, so my body should know how to bounce back.... It just didn't and I am left with about 12 pounds on my belly and…

Welcome. I'm just like you, new and looking to lose baby fat :)

Just had a baby and looking to lose the baby fat and get back my 6-pack. It's not the exercising that I struggle with but the damn food. The lack of sleep makes me wanna eat more than I should. I have 6kg (12 lbs) to lose. I'm in for motivational buddies :)

Hello and welcome. I am new here as well. I wish you good luck in achieving your goal!
