I do tend to say "I can't eat" a lot but I don't deprive myself anything I really want like the odd bit of chocolate. I think really limiting yourself can make it more difficult to succeed so I allow myself a treat as long as I stay within my calorie goal. My treat now is completely different than it would have been a few…

The logging is like a compulsion to me I can't not log everything I eat. Food isn't a problem for me, I make healthy choices and stay under my calorie goal everyday but I can't cut below 1800 calories because I'm breastfeeding and it effects my supply so it's really important for me not to cut too low and the only way to…

15k walked today! I'm so tired and a splitting pain in my head is preventing me from working out tonight but with that big walk done I'm ok with missing a work out. Tomorrow is another day. I love the part of this app that tells you what you would weigh in 5 weeks if every day was like today. It gives me drive :)

NSV- lost another two inches off my hips and a total of 11" off hips waist and thighs in the last few weeks. I haven't been measuring myself as long as I've been weighing so I couldn't say how many inches I have lost since the start of my journey but my old clothes that didn't fit me starting this challenge are starting to…

That's such a good tip izzy! I know my worst time of day is the evening when the kids are in bed and my partner works away I'm not sure if it's loneliness or boredom. I used to just snack all evening until I went to bed.

If your breastfeeding and eating below 1800 calories a day your supply will be effected. My son it two and my supply has always been good but when I cut below 1800 my supply dropped right down. It's really a minefield when your BFing but it's just about getting the balance right.
-
Hi! I'm also a BFing mom have lost 1st 5lb in six weeks on MFP but I can't drop below 1800cals or it will effect supply. Firstly take into account that your baby at 4months is still completely reliant on Breastmilk and your body works very hard to produce milk for an exclusively breastfed baby. You are burning 500calories…

Thanks izzy! I added some people on MFP for support. It's really a journey but to me I'm not on a diet, I'm changing my lifestyle to be healthier. I don't have the support in the real world so the community here is great and especially this challenge! I find it really keeps me focused. X x

Well done! That's amazing!

Today is a mixed bag... I got into an old pair of jeans! I wouldn't say they glided up easily but they were comfortable all the same. More importantly when I looked in the mirror I saw no muffin top! :) We went off Christmas shopping for the kids and ate out I ordered as healthy as possible in a sandwich bar that has a…

What I did to loose today: almost 18,000 steps! Stayed under my calorie goal but I'm yet to do my workout. With a sick baba in the house I'm not sure it will happen tonight.

Now just to locate them hip bones...

31days logging today!! 1st 1lb lost since starting MFP and tonight I was lying down nursing my son and I suddenly noticed the roll of fat I used to have just under my bra line is gone!!! It was like two extra boobs but now I have my waist line back.

T Yeah my supply really dropped my calories were just too low so I had to bring it up to 1800 and I have maintained that 3lb loss but not dropped any more which is ok. My supply has started to recover so I'm thankful for that. Slow and steady is how I'd like the weight to come off. Healthy mammy and healthy baby

Tuna in brine with a tablespoon of low fat Mayo and a spring onion on low cal bread with no butter and a cup of tea with no sugar and 20mls of skimmed milk. Had half a banana after it (my toddler wanted half).
-
I second what ninkyou says about supply! I'm feeding a toddler and decided Id chance the lowest a BF mom can go which is 1500cal a day. Now two years into breastfeeding it's safe to say my supply was well established but my supply has really suffered I need 1800cals a day to maintain supply and most women need that. I'm…
-
Had to up my calories as it was effecting my milk supply again so I'm on fenugreek for the next week and eating 1800cals as milk supply will have to get priority. I'm going to up my work outs to make up for the calories. This losing weight is a mine field when your breastfeeding. 1800cals is still enough to lose weight…
-
Ok I have lost 3lb since Monday.. I weighed on two different scales today to be sure my one hadn't gone mad but yep a 3lb loss... I'm afraid that's too much in only two days. Do you guys think I should bring my calorie intake up a little?
-
I do HIIT most evenings so a walking Video wouldn't cut it for me the walking is on top of work outs. I had a bad few days with MIL staying with us and birthdays and I'm sick but I'm back on track today have done my walk and am doing my work out after kids are asleep. I made good meal choices today and I feel a lot better.
-
I actually lost a pound! I was sure that I would be regretting yesterday and that slice of cake even tho I skipped dinner and stayed within my calorie goal... I genuinely felt so guilty like I had undone all my hard work. I was afraid to stand on the scale but I feel relieved now that I have. I'm off for a walk now to make…
-
What I did to lose today: had a really really bad day today! Did no exercise at all and I ate a slice of cake!! Didn't reach my step goal for the day... I stayed within my calorie goal despite eating a slice of cake! It was my son and partners birthday today and I'm smothered with a cold so I don't feel overly down on…

Yesterday was pretty much the same for me aside from being under my calorie goal and exceeding my step goal by the steps it took me to walk around the house before bed I did nothing!! I'm normally up around 15,000 to 20,000 steps and do a workout in the evenings but yesterday I found excuses "MIL is staying so need to do…
-
The things I did to lose today: I really didn't want to leave the house to go walking today because I had spent the day working very hard and hadn't sat down but somehow I mustered up the motivation and went anyway and when I had done my walk and got back to the entrance to my house I decided it wasn't long enough so I did…
