  • The hot bar in the deli and the Pop-Tart aisle are my sworn enemies 🤣. I usually leave my money in my locker, but you make a good point. I probably need to just leave it at home.
  • I have always been a night time over eater. I found 1. I wasnt eating enough during the day 2. I was using it as a way to decompress from the day Since then I eat more during the day, go to the gym either before or after dinner and pamper myself afterwards: hot shower, exfoliants, moisturizers, super cute pj's and hot tea…
  • Middlehaitch, I respect your opinion even though we disagree. What works for me may not work for you. My Fitness Pal actual has an article about eating your exercise calories back. https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/ask-the-dietitian-should-i-eat-back-my-exercise-calories/
  • I had always been 20-30lbs overweight. I had finally started to lose weight when I became pregnant my daughter who is now 9 months. I am now currenly 5 months pregnant with my 3rd. I did lose all my prego weight from my 2nd before getting pregnant again but I am gaining weight much faster with this one than I did my other…
  • Im a mom of almost 3 (5yo, 9mon, 1 due in December). Right now Im just trying to keep track of what I eat but as soon as January rolls around, Im kicking it into high gear.
  • Agreed. Put your settings to maintain. I am also pregnant btw. I put on a lot more weight than i should have at 18wks. So im using MFP to keep track of what i eat.
  • I am 18wks pregi with my third. With my 1st, i gained 0lbs. With my 2nd a healthy 30lbs. However with this one, ive already put on almost 20lb and im not even half way through. Ive got to get my eating habits under control. Im going to try to maintain my weight at least until i get to the 3rd trimester. Then ill be happy…
  • I was overweight prepregnancy. I gained a healthy 30lbs with my 2nd which i lost almost immediately. Now im only 4 months with my 3rd in and ive already gained 20lbs. I stay at home with my 4yo and 8 month old. So its so easy to walk by the fridge 20 times a day and reach in for something to snack on. I hoping to get my…
  • I was technically overweight before being pregnant 26bmi (though i feel like i was healthy). I am only 4 months in and have already gained almost 20lbs when im only supposed to gain 25lbs all together. I get tired and being i stay home all day with my other 2 kids, i want to eat all day.
  • I have two kids, one of which is now 3 months old. Just before I got pregnant I had started to actually lose some weight. Well that didn't last long. Now I'm having to start over. I prefer fruit over fries, so eating healthyish isn't a huge burden for me. My problem is portions. I also love to go to the gym, but I know its…
  • My husband is so sweet, but ever since we met, I've been telling him I was trying to eat healthy and lose weight. To this day he brings me home candy and sodas because he thinks he's doing something nice for me. I love that he's thinking about me, but I wish he'd bring me home an edible arrangement or a v8 or something…
  • Honestly I was excited to start working out again. I had postpartum depression after my first, and me trying to get back in shape a little sooner this go round has helped relieve my stress and improved my overall mood. I feel amazing now. My baby is healthy and happy, and so am I. I am now 3 lbs from my prepregnancy…
  • I think as long as you are careful and listen to you body, you should be OK (given there was no complications).
  • Everybody is going to find something they don't like about themselves, whether it be they have a little extra giggle or skinny arms or a wide nose. Give it some time. It takes some women YEARS to get their prebaby body back, and some never get it back. You're one of the lucky ones. Most of it is probably just skin. I'm 4…
  • 2 wks postpartum here. Had her at 180lbs. I'm now down to 160lbs. I'd like to be 135. I've started to exercise already and TRIED to maintain a 2000 cal diet while breastfeeding, but I'm still so used to giving into my cravings.
  • I have a 2wk old and a 4yo. I've lost all but 5lbs of my pregnancy weight, but I'm trying to lose another 20. I started going to the gym a few times a week while the kids are asleep and my husband is home and joined a mommy and me group that let's the kids interact while exercising. However, I'm still so used to giving in…
  • I have a 2wk old I breast feed and a 4yo. I have lost most of my pregnancy weight for the exception of 5lbs, but I'm looking to lose another 10-20lbs. I've started exercising again, but I'm having a hard time eating healthy since I'm still so used to giving into my cravings during pregnancy.
  • I am 11 days postpartum (with a 4yo as well) and wanting to slowly get back in shape. I put on 25 lbs during my pregnancy but would like to lose 55 lbs, considering I was overweight to begin with. After being able to give into my cravings the last 9 months, self control will be one of my biggest struggles.
