  • Hi! I’m 29, 5’6” losing some weight after having kids (ages 5 and 3). My body fat percentage has gone up since my youngest was born and is now 32%. So while my BMI is acceptable, I’d like to lose fat to get that down to a healthier level. I recently had blood work done and everything looks good! I did a strength workout…

  • Weekly check in: Goal Weight: 140 lbs 02/06 - 149 02/13 - 147 02/20 - 146 Things seem to be going well but I’ve been yo-yo ing between 146 and 149 for a long time (trending higher). The push will be for me not to go backup, especially with my monthly cycle in mind. I’m technically an okay weight for my height but I know my…

  • I do like pumpkin and we like to make stove top oatmeal. I also noticed that MFP sets monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat goals to 0 so if you have even 1g then it says you’re over. Even saturated fat has some allowance. I thought unsaturated fat was the “healthier” kind?? I don’t pay for the premium MFP but I do keep…

  • @GinLee61 thank you! Those are simple options which is perfect for me. Whenever I go on Pinterest it’s usually very involved or time/ingredient intensive. I did look at the yogurt I get my kids and it has 8g fat per serving! My kids are 5 and 3 so it’s fine for them, we don’t buy whole milk. I did pick up low fat cottage…

  • Goal Weight: 140 lbs 02/06 - 149 02/13 - 147 I'm still working on tracking my food. I was shocked to realize how easy it is to go over my calories, but I suppose that's what happens for most people once they start. Doesn't help that I meal planned and went shopping before committing to tracking my calories! I've noticed…

  • Hi! I'm joining late but I recently found out I have a higher body fat percentage (32%) than I'd like so I'm back to making an effort. I'm 29 with two preschool aged kids. I have metabolic testing from our local fitness center in a few weeks which will help set more accurate calorie goals. I'm 5'6" and 149lbs, my goal is…
