Hiya! My daughter is 4 weeks old, and Im also exclusively breastfeeding so I hear you and understand! First, remember that breastfeeding burns around 375-750 calories daily, and thus doctors suggest upping, not lowering your intake 500 calories with healthy nutrient dense foods so you'll be able to provide those to your…

hi everyone! I was 382 lbs in June 2016 and started out just with walking and portion control. I got down to 330 by December, then I got pregnant :-) (this was a major reason I wanted to lose weight!). I stopped logging my food while preggers, but kept vigilant of my choices and portions and managed to lose 5 lbs during…

I'm late to this post, but i hope you ladies won't mind me adding you all for some support?? We've got this!

Just added you!

Feel free to add me as well!

Hiya! Please add me as well! I've lost about 70 lbs so far and need to lose another 120. I'd love the support!

Hi all! I'm just getting back into the swing of things after having a baby 3 weeks ago. I didn't gain weight during pregnancy, I was really vigilant and managed to lose 5lbs. Since giving birth I've been breastfeeding so I shed another 15lbs pretty quickly. My goal for the next 100 days is to kick things into gear so I can…

mine is open to friends. I'm just getting back in the swing of things, but I was a real stickler June-Sept 2016 and lost around 45 lbs during that time. trying to get some momentum going again!

It's actually common that people see a bit of a stall in their weight loss due to exercising. For me, I started my loss with just walking and lost a good amount right away, but when I added strength training, that slowed my pace down. One of my favorite blogs, Runs For Cookies, is written by a woman who lost over 100 lbs.…

I'd like to join the group as well. I lost around 47 lbs in 2016 (I started in June then lost steam around my birthday (turned 29) and the holidays). I'm hoping to lose 100 more in 2017!

I get it. Sometimes not answering directly or giving replies like the one suggested above can lead to further questions. I usually never want to say something as honest as "I'm on a diet" or "I'm trying to lose weoght" because I feel like it makes ppl too vigilant of my plate --- or worse, if I slip and have something…

Hi Rachel, I've got a puppy, and you're right. I didn't cuddle with her at all last night or this morning. I'll make a point to do so after work tonight! Thanks! ....now to just find a laser pointer... lol

Thanks, lithezebra. I'm going to create a kick-butt playlist today and put it on repeat. when sad thoughts come in, I'll just turn up the volume! thank you again!

Thanks for the advice, Megan. You're right. I need to take a step back look at this in the long term and understand that on average from week to week, I'll be ok as long as I don't get derailed by expecting to lose the same amount every day like in the first weeks. I'm pretty careful about portions. I've got a scale at…

I'm Allie and I'm from NY! Hoping to engage more with the MFP community!

Congrats!!

~~~~~~~~~ I could use friends on here and on fitbit, too! https://www.fitbit.com/user/4P7V5T ~~~~~~~~~ On June 1, 2016 I started taking a 2.5 mile walk after work each day. At first it look me an hour, but I've been slowly getting faster. I sometimes feel really terrible about how slow I am. I try to pass people on the…
