No worries! The important thing is that you're back on track now and MFP is happy to have you back. :) Good luck with your new goals. I know you can do it.

I'm pregnant right now but my little boy is on his way any day now. I hope to start eating healthy and attempting to get my prepregnancy body back asap. I know it will be hard work but I could use other moms support. :) Anyone can add me.

I second this! At your size it's not a matter of you being fat it's just how your muscles are right now.

I'm going to put this as gently as possible...the next place you need to go is a therapist. Please don't write me off before I explain why though. You seem like you have a case of body dismorphia and it could turn into something nastier like anorexia or bulimia if you aren't careful. I know this because I have struggled…

I would really appreciate a mentor! I have very specific goals concerning my weight and where I want to be. While I have never necessarily had a problem losing weight because I have a high metabolism, but I am soon to be a first time mom and would like to get my body back to normal after having my son. I mainly want to…

Hey, I know I am still very young but I have went through my fair share of hardships and I want to tell you that I am proud of you for taking a stand over your life. I also have struggled with trying to use food as an outlet by starving myself to the point of medical issues in the past. I am here to tell you that it won't…

You can always add me. I have to lose all my baby weight after my son is born so that I can get back to my original weight. I hear it's a long and grueling process, so we can encourage each other to eat healthy and exercise. :)

5'4" My current weight is 163, but I'm pregnant. My goal weight is to be 115...or at the very least back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 125.

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself! You have been feeling depressed and yes, sometimes depression causes us to eat more than usual, most of us are guilty of this, but you also beating yourself up over the weight gain isn't going to help your depression. You need to have a healthy mindset to obtain a healthy body. Try not…

I'm curious, do you have to be a certain weight to get this procedure done? I know with things like weight loss pills you need to be a certain weight and fat%, but I wanted to do this mainly for unrelated health reasons. The weight management would just be a bonus. Lol. Congratulations by the way! 7lb a week is amazing! If…

I know this is late but I just wanted to comment on this. You reaching your goal will not make you happy and you will not suddenly like your body. I'm not saying that to discourage you. By all means, I truly hope you meet the goal that you are trying to obtain, however, I think it is important for you to realize that if…

Birth control can be a really good way to prevent gain due to hormonal cravings. I was on one birth control that worked really well for me and I didn't get periods. I would have to go way back in my history or call my doctor to get the name seeing as I am almost 9 months pregnant now (I had switched BC and wasn't taking it…

I personally suffer from an ED myself. I've "recovered" and relapsed probably a dozen times over from both bulimia and anorexia. You WILL have a weight gain spike for awhile until you reach a healthier weight, or if you're like me when I "recover", you could be eating more than you are supposed to just because it feels so…

That's true! I report literally everything down to a sauce or if I put salt and pepper on something (it matters and it counts). If I forget to do it, or am being lazy, I mentally remind myself to count it in at the end of the day regardless of what I log. I'm unfortunately STILL way under my calorie goal for what I'm…

See, now that kind of shows the fact that for some women they just can't fit into a US size 0. I'm 5ft 4.5in and even at a weight of 125 couldn't fit into a size 0....or a size 1 for that matter! I was pretty skinny but my bone structure just wouldnt allow it.

Your body changes based on age, weight gain/loss, pregnancy, hormones, ect. I was down to a size 1 at one point in my life but based on how my bones have shifted during pregnancy there is a chance they will never go back. I have gained some fat during my pregnancy but my small sizes go up to my hips and stop. I was wearing…

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. My weight fluctuates like that too because I sometimes give in to what I want to eat. Haha! The important thing is that you are on a healthy track now and you should be proud of how well you've done! With that kind of weight loss you can afford to have a little something for yourself…

Hey! Congratulations! That is a lot of work and motivation. I'm super happy for you. :)
