I feel your pain @bellaninja15 . My son is nearly 2 and I am ( was, lost 11 lbs so far!) within 10 pounds of my heaviest during pregnancy! I didn't feel like myself either and was unhappy that I wasn't doing anything to change it. I started MFP 2 weeks ago and am finally feeling like I can do this again and do it even…

Coming back after a baby, let alone 2, can be a rough road. My son is 21 months and I am still not the weight I was when I got pregnant. Breastfeeding adds a whole new dimension to weight loss that I am glad I don't have to worry about. I just finished breastfeeding my son last month, 2 weeks before starting my weight loss…

I have been doing meal prep for 2 weeks and LOVE this Southwest Turkey Stuffed Peppers recipe for lunch http://www.peanutbutterandfitness.com/2014/08/southwest-turkey-stuffed-peppers-and.html . I use brown rice instead of quinoa. They reheat wonderfully and moist because the peppers basically steam in the chicken broth and…

I am currently 211 (lost 8 lbs since starting MFP a week ago!) and am looking to lose around 50 pounds to get to 165-160. I am feeling determined to make the changes in my life I need to take back control of my weight. It sometimes seems like such a daunting task when I think about losing 50+ pounds but have started with a…

It sounds like you have a great attitude and are determined to make it happen despite your recent difficulties. That is Awesome! I like your idea of…

I just started doing meal prep and have found it has REALLY helped me stay on track. It is a lot of extra work to prepare nearly a weeks worth of meals (I usually prep 5 days of breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks a day) ahead of time and takes up a huge amount of real estate in the fridge but it is so worth it when you are…

I also usually mess up during the weekends when my skinny husband and kids are home and they eat as they please but this past weekend, I made sure to have meals prepped ahead of time ready in the fridge. It took way my typically used excuse that I didn't feel like cooking and there was nothing healthy available and ready…

Thank you for sharing @txlisafit2016 . I also have a 16 year old at home along with a toddler and I want to set good examples for both of them. I am on a mission to lose 50 lbs this year and change the way I think about food and eating. Being a mom and wife can sometimes make us put ourselves on the bottom of the priority…

I am 40 with a toddler and a teenager at home. Both equally difficult! Just like many mothers my focus fell on my kids and I "let myself go". I am finally making myself a priority and am working on losing 50 pounds. MFP has been great in helping me stay accountable for everything I eat and how many calories I am consuming.…

Hello! I am in the same boat as you. I am an inch taller and a few pounds heavier but I also have a goal to lose 50 pounds. It seems insurmountable at times but I am taking it day by day. I started actively using MFP about a week ago when I started my weight loss journey (again) and have found it very helpful in keeping me…

I just started using this app also about a week ago and it's a big help in keeping me accountable. I decided to check out the community section today but I don't know how to really use it. How does the friend system work?
