I have gestational diabetes, so I've been having to find alternatives. Enlightened ice cream seems to be a pretty good option for GD. There are some breads with lower carbs. Some of them are keto options, but I don't pay much attention to keto as the net carbs mean nothing, I need to look at total carbs. There are some…

I've been in a self-care/self-love journey for a while. Maybe we could help each other out

I just rejoined the app and I'm usually pretty active on it. I'd like to lose some more weight, but it's not my whole goal. I've had a lot of life changes, and I'm mostly trying not to gain weight while it's happening. You can add me if you'd like

I've been at my pre-pregnancy weight for a while and don't fit back into most of my old clothes quite right anymore. I'm trying to tone up to see if it helps some of the fat placement, but I've been slowly coming to the realization that my body isn't ever going back to what it was.

Top is September 2017, bottom is January 2018 when I actively started trying to get in better shape because i started gaining back the weight I initially lost postpartum, right is mother's day weekend

My mini goal is to try to fit into my sister in law's clothes by September 1st so I can borrow something cute for my son's first birthday. She's a fashion blogger, so she's got nice stuff, but all the new stuff she's getting is in size small, and I'm still hovering in medium/large

Spa day? When I do all the sessions that I planned to for a few days, I soak in the tub with bath salts or bubble bath and read a good book.

I've been going slow and steady because I'm breastfeeding, and since I know the lack of weight loss can be discouraging, I don't weigh myself very often. If you did slow and steady while thinking of it like maintenance, that might alleviate some of the discouraged feelings

I used body scrubs on my stomach after my pregnancy and as I've been losing weight and it seems to help keep it from getting really loose. I'm doing very gradual weight loss though and working on building more muscle up

I've been doing yoga enough that my 8 month old son started modeling it today

I've only lost 9 lbs since January, but I've gone from XL/L maternity clothes to M/L and size 10 pants. Don't worry too much about the actual number of pounds if you're working out and eating right. I was disheartened when I lost absolutely no pounds in January and February, but I realized my clothes were fitting looser…

To help break my candy/desserts addiction, I ate protein bars because they're still sweet, but they keep you fuller for longer than a cookie. It's not a super healthy substitution, but I started wanting protein instead of sweets late at night. I also started drinking decaf coffee at night if I knew I had enough to eat, but…

What's actually really worked for me to tone up my stomach after having a baby is yoga and Pilates. Plus it's helped with gaining more muscle in general, and flexibility. And I really love doing it, so I do it twice a day because I want to rather than because I'm forcing myself to exercise. I have friends that are always…

I'm 5'3" and was 190 when I had my baby back in late August. I was 170 in January when I started using MFP again. I had lost weight really quick the first few months, and then started gaining it back when I got back on birth control. I was 161 last time I weighed myself. My biggest goal is to be below my pre pregnancy…

I do something every day, and try for twice a day. I do yoga and Pilates though, so my exercises are actually the time when I relax, recenter, and focus on myself for a little bit of time. I'm also a stay at home mom, so even though I've got a lot to do in the day, I have a lot more flexibility as to when I can exercise,…

I've been eating when I'm hungry, but trying to pick healthier options, although I don't log my food much. I do yoga and/or Pilates once or twice a day. It's not fast weight loss, but I lost 7 lbs in around 2 months

I would say dump them. I had a boyfriend like that, and we worked through it. Then I found out he had cheated on me twice, and for some reason I still stayed with him. I didn’t dump him until I had more confidence in myself, and I probably could have gained confidence much faster without him. And when I had more confidence…

I could use some new friends. I had a baby 5 months ago and surgery 4 months ago, and now I'm trying to get back in shape

I've been having some depressions issues, though mine is probably postpartum, and I haven't found anything that makes me "happier," but I've found that yoga makes me more peaceful

Ellen Page and Zoey Deutch

Sold us a house and then bought it back out from under us because we wanted to fix the foundation, rented it out to someone that we all disliked because she was willing to spread gossip about me, wrote her son a 3 page letter about how he won't make anything of his life and how she's hurt that he was "mean" to her husband…

I fit back into a pair of my pre pregnancy pants. Had my baby Aug 30th and gained 35 lbs during pregnancy

Thank you. Surprisingly I'm not gaining much. I've been doing a lot of little exercises here and there to keep myself distracted. And thankfully I've gotten junk fooded out. I was at something the other day where they had cupcakes and cookies, but I went for the carrots and grapes all night instead. And I've thought about…

I've got about 40 lbs to lose long term.

The Flash Gotham Forever Bob's Burgers Courage the Cowardly Dog Invader Zim That's hardly everything I watch, but what I've been watching most often recently. I love my cartoons.

It's difficult to lose someone, but it's even harder to find a healthy way to deal with it. I'm definitely sending a request.
