  • Hi and welcome. This group hasn't had much activity lately, but I am glad you are here. I'm a 33 year old working mom of 2 and I struggle with the same things. I recently had a period where I stopped signing in to MFP but now I am back and working at it some more. :)

I now have about 70lbs to lose. I've had success on here before, but got stuck at the same weight for a while and then gained 7lbs back. I am almost…

I'm still breastfeeding and so cutting calories has been hard, but MFP has a breastfeeding thing in the cardio section and it gives you 200 calories for every 30 minutes of breastfeeding. I…
