  • Me too girl...me too. Only 3 babies, but still, everything requires so much effort! A trip to Costco with 2 babies feels like a huge accomplishment!
  • I do measure one tablespoon! I think the peanut butter might be the only thing I'm mis-weighing? Could that really be messing me up that bad though? I suppose! I'll get a scale.
  • Not sure if I'm replying to you specifically, but thank you! I feel encouraged! I'll reduce my calories to 1500 and see what happens. Do you eat back your calories too after you work out?
  • Thanks everybody, really! I can't tell you how much I appreciate each of you taking the time to respond to me. I've never had much luck finding support on community boards! I think there's a meme floating around that says something to the effect that "I don't always diet, but when I do, I expect instant results." Although…
  • Opened it up-have a look!
  • I had a baby last May, and my pre pregnancy weight was 186. I was really trying to get back there, at least, before my babe turns 1 on May 7th. Maybe not realistic at this point...
  • I'm 5'9" and 202lbs. I'm so close to being out of the 200's!! I felt really great at 180, so that's my goal.
  • I'll try that. I'm so frustrated. My body just does not want to let go. Thanks for all your input everybody!
  • I could definitely exercise more, for a fact! The weather is getting better-I'll try and get the girls in the stroller more often.
  • I should mention my splurge on the weekends is a cocktail or 2, which I make myself, so I know exactly what's in them. But I think they cause water retention, and my weight to fluctuate over the weekend. They can't possibly be working against me all week, could they? Did I mention 3 kids? My cocktails are weekend reward!
  • I think it's super screwy! I'm even logging my "cheats". That's a helpful flow chart. I think I need to give it more time. I didn't gain weight this weekend, so that's a victory. I always fluctuate over the weekend because that's when I typically splurge (but still always under my calorie goal). I'm 41, 10 months…
  • Yes, yes, and yes.
  • Honestly, I've been at it for almost 3 months, but I just put the MFP app back on my phone a week ago. I am very careful about measuring and logging everything I put in my mouth. I know I'm under my calorie goal every day. Maybe I'm just bring impatient. I've fluctuated the same 5 pounds for 3 months though!
