Thank you! I honestly hadn’t thought of using the scale for stuff like that... maybe that will be the missing piece. Going to start! :)

Thank you for this! I guess MFP always tells you to focus on net... do you think it's appropriate to just focus on calories consumed and not net calories? Like if I start to track more meticulously like you suggested (weigh bread, etc.) and only eat the 1290 MFP suggests (regardless of exercise)? I always get confused…

I do use it for meat and stuff like avocado, bananas etc that are hard to guess portions, but not for things that have a serving size and barcode like a slice of bread or cheese etc. Do you think I need to use it for absolutely everything?

Thank you so much! This is very encouraging. I guess I do need to be more patient and if I keep doing what I am doing, it will come off eventually. And I agree with you about eating in front of the kids... I definitely never have large portions of foods like pizza because I am small, so I guess my issue was not wanting to…

I have 3 under 3! 2 year old twins and an 11 month old. I started working out when the baby was able 6 months old and consistently sleeping through the night. That for me was the only way I could get it done without being completely exhausted all day. I wake up at 6am, have coffee, and do a 30-45 minute YouTube workout 5…

Added! I’m a mom of 3 under 3. :) I started trying to “get my body back” when my littlest was 4 months old (January) and am down 16lbs so far... about 12 to go!

I only work out at home. I have 3 little ones, so getting out of the house is already a massive challenge. I wake up, have a cup of black coffee, and do my fasted workout via YouTube videos, then shower and am ready for the day right when the kids wake up. I have lost 16lbs since January this way! It just works for me. The…

Has anyone given birth yet? I had baby girl #3 (little miss Piper Belle) on September 7 and was recently cleared for exercise. Looking for friends to add who are in the same boat and wanting to shed those pregnancy lbs! I am about 19lbs from my goal weight.

Yes! 15 month old twins and a 7 week old newborn. All girls. Life is crazy :) I have been waking up at 5am after feeding the baby to workout and staying within my calorie goals but am struggling to lose weight. It's tough!

Second time mom- twins are 15 months and newborn is 6 weeks! 2 under 2 is no joke. I have just been cleared for exercise and am starting my journey to lose the weight from the back to back pregnancies! Sending request :)

I have 3 under 2 so I feel ya! Congrats on your newest bundle :) our babies are 1 day apart!

Hi Kristen! I just had my baby on Saturday September 7 :) I am exclusively pumping but looking to lose the baby weight as well!

@KellyBgetsfit wow a few surprises, that’s crazy! We just found out yesterday our baby is a girl :) I knew it! I guess I’ll have to pressure hubby into one more to try for a boy in a few years. Haha! I’m going to try to set my MFP to maintenance and see if that keeps me at my current weight for awhile. I was hoping with…

@KellyBgetsfit I had the twins at 36 weeks, but was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 32 weeks. I woke up extremely dizzy and disoriented one day, drank a bunch of water and drove myself to my doc’s office and demanded to be seen. My blood pressure was 100/160. They sent me to the hospital immediately and gave me steroids and…

Hi all! My name is Kelly and I’m due September 16 :) I have 7 month old twin girls so this baby was a bit of a shock- but we are excited nonetheless. I am still holding on to 15/20lbs from the twins and am afraid of gaining a lot of weight and having so much to lose after this baby gets here. Any advice or input on what a…

Kelly- I could’ve written this post. We have so many similarities! My name is also Kelly, I am due September 16, this baby was also a huge surprise (I have 7 month old twins... got pregnant first cycle after having them), I had preeclampsia with the twins, and I’m having terrible morning sickness as well. We are literally…

Hi everyone! I am glad I stumbled upon this group! I was diagnosed when I was 22. I got one period when I was 13, then never again, so at age 16 my ob/gyn just put me on the pill and being a naive teenager I thought nothing of it. Fast forward 6 years, I chose to go off of birth control and all hell broke loose. I gained…
