Ok, thanks. Hopefully it'll level out as I wear it more? I don't eat back calories for the most part anyway right now, I'm just trying to find the spot where I lose weight but maintain supply for breastfeeding. But in the future that info would be useful. I was unsure how crazy it would be after exercising too.

I understand that, but the "exercise" calories on MFP is saying 618 when I've only done 4480 steps today and no deliberate exercise. I'm 5'6 259lbs and 30 years old. It just seemed like a lot for no deliberate exercise being done. This is a fairly typical day as far as movement goes. Idunno, I'm just used to seeing 200s in…

In February just before the lock down. In fact, I remember my husband offhandly asking if I'd heard about this virus in China while I was in my hospital room. And now here we are. It didn't change much since I already planned to take 10wks off for maternity leave, except I did extend 2 more weeks til May. But now my…

No apology necessary! I completely agree! It's actually helped me to see that there's hope for me to not only find something enjoyable, but that someday I might actually want to exercise without feeling like it's a chore/punishment. You all have been so helpful. My mindset this go around feels different and I truly think…

Thank you for suggesting these! I walked a bit outside this morning with my kids, but felt like I could do more. So while my toddler napped and my 4 month old was content in his swing, I was able to squeeze in a 15 min video of hers! I'm realizing there's no excuse for me not to find 15 min in my day for myself. I might…

Thanks guys! I'm going to try and focus on small changes. For instance, after my babe's 4 month Dr appointment this morning, instead of going back in the house when we got home, I pulled out the stroller and went for a walk. My toddler was having fun running around an empty parking lot near our house, so I just kept moving…

I'm a week in and lost nearly 10lbs. Scared the *kitten* out of me and also made me feel bad. Stupid water retention I'm sure. All I did was eat less carbs because I'm pre-diabetic, decreased my caloric intake, and drink more water. I'm actually going over the recommended calories still because I'm still breastfeeding and…

Thank you guys! Those are great places to start, I haven't heard of Leslie Sansone, so maybe I'll try her first. I like the outdoors as well, but quickly overheat which is a huge bummer. Even when I was younger I had this problem. It's honestly probably part of my aversion to exercise because I got sick a few times. I need…

Thank you, these are excellent suggestions!! My husband has been trying to convince me to be easier on myself. He says " Be nice to my wife." He's the one who suggested finding forums for support. I will definitely keep counseling in mind, especially if the excessive thoughts don't decrease as I make headway with my goals.
