  • My pre-first-baby weight would be nice, but I'm also excited about trying to get back some of my pre-second-baby upper abdominal muscles. (My second baby is about to turn six and I am about to turn 40, so I figured it was about time. On the plus side, I *am* already down to my pre-second-baby weight after a summer of MFP…

  • When I do (religious) fasts, I end them with a big glass of water, then some fruits/veggies (have these standing by cut up), then whatever I want and am still hungry for (but usually some protein & carbs - if anything I gravitate toward egg & cheese dishes, but YMMV). I think it helps not to stuff myself!

  • I had my kids at 31yo (BMI of 30, took one month to conceive) and at 34 (BMI of 34 thanks to weight I put on after the first one, took four months to conceive).

  • I lurk here a lot, and I've never seen so many MFP forum posters tell someone to ignore the forums and talk to their medical health professional. Interesting insight into how we view pregnancy. Imagine doing the same thing the next time someone posts about wanting to get rid of belly fat! (The original poster should of…
    in Pregnant but wanting to lose weight in a healthy way Comment by wendymoira July 2015
  • I'm 5'3.5". Right now I'm a little under 200 lbs. My immediate goal weight is 180 lbs (pre-kid #2) and then ultimately 160 lbs (pre-kid #1, aka my lowest adult weight). I'm also trying to establish healthy exercise patterns, though, which is more important than the scale. If I get to 160 and really feel like I need to lose…
