15 for me! Group total - 94.5 pounds!

You can do it!! You don't have control over the bad things acting upon you (like a custody battle - so sorry you're going through that), but you do have control over your body! I guarantee that exercising will help you feel better! Is there something you enjoy? Or something that's also stress relieving (like yoga or…

It's sorta like Zumba but hip hop :) it's soooo much fun!

Mixxedfit!

You're doing nothing wrong! Its a HUGE life change and I know for me, my son was very needy and unpredictable (as far as sleeping and eating schedule) until about 15-18 months. And if you're doing the majority of the caregiving, you've gotta be so tired! Give it more time. I bet in the next few months you'll be like…

My son is 2.5.....recentish? Haha. I'm currently about 7 pounds over my pre baby weight which is still about 20-30 pounds overweight (currently 5'4", 178 pounds). I've lost 17 pounds since February. It honestly took me 2 years to really feel like myself again and feel motivated to put ME first for a while. I started with…

Me too!

Nice long term goal ;)

Mfp makes logging pretty convenient. Take the time to enter in meals/recipes that you eat a lot. Try to become familiar with how many calories are in familiar things and then log the first thing that comes up when you search - for example, if I eat PB&J, I just search PB&J and log that. It might be using different bread or…

Should we use this thread to post progress updates??

I am 5'4" and 180 pounds. I'll probably feel my best at about 140-150, but I'm not married to that number. I'm more focused on how my body looks and feels than what the scale says. I know I need to drop at least 10 more pounds!

Short term goal: get back to my pre-baby weight of 172 (currently 180, started at 193!). And mind you, I was 225 when I delivered my son 2.5 years ago, so I'm not talking about dropping pregnancy weight....this is bona fide, hang-on-for-the-long-haul fat I'm trying to ditch! Long term goal: feel good about my body and what…

I am 5'4", currently 180 lbs, started at 193 lbs, hoping to get to 140-150 lbs. No deadline for me...I've reached a pretty comfortable place with my current diet and exercise level, losing about 0.5 lb per week, so I'd like to maintain that for the next 8-10 months and eventually get to my goal weight. The important thing…

And I guess you can't say 'b*tch' on mfp because it literally changed it to kitten after I hit post!

I'm with ya there. Desk jobs are tough. No physical activity and it's super easy to snack whenever you feel bored. I've started "exercising" during conference calls and training webinars. T might be as simple as stretching or I might actually do squats, lunges, leg lifts, etc. I try to just move a little bit whenever I can…

Hi all! I'm so happy for this new group! I've been logging for 75 days and I'm down 13 pounds so far! This is just the motivation I need to keep chugging along. I've got another 30 pounds or so to lose....
