I love this thread. I need more MFPs! I used MFP after my first baby and it was really great and helpful. I have two kids now and need to get healthy again. I want to lose 20 pounds, have two kids, and would love more MFP busy mom friends! Let's do this! :)

I'm starting up P90X3 on Monday Feb 2; I definitely need more MFPs too!

I'm only about 8 weeks as well. I am due on July 24.

Pears, prunes, peaches in any form (fruit or juice) will help. Also apple juice helps.

I am pregnant! My first pregnancy was filled with morning sickness and working hard to eat and not LOSE weight. This pregnancy is the exact opposite--even in my first trimester! I am SOOO hungry ALL the time! AND I am tired a lot, which makes it hard to be motivated to exercise. Because of this, I am finding it hard to be…

This is a very interesting post to me, because I have been like this all week! I've been getting a little curious that maybe I'm pregnant, but my last pregnancy I definitely had the opposite problem, so I'm still skeptical on that theory. Anyway, I had the same thing happen to me: eat breakfast, AM snack, and by 11 I was…

Wowzer! Way to go! That's fantastic!

We are TTC, and I am super worried, not only about gaining weight during my pregnancy, but not having the strong motivation--just like what you are talking about! Seeing the scale drop is a huge motivator for me (maybe more than it should be), so I am worried I will want to give into the temptations of letting go a little…

Thanks for sharing! I've been wondering lately if this loose skin is going to be a problem or not! Thanks again! : )

I've found that when I sleep more (go to bed early) I lose more weight! It's hard to keep up, but I think I need a lot of sleep!

Wow! Way go to! Thanks for sharing your story! It is always inspirational to see success! You look fabulous! Congrats!

Along the lines of HRMs, I'm in the market for one--Which HRM do you recommend? What should I look for when I buy mine?

Slim in 6 Results are in!!! I lost 4 pounds and 7.125 inches. I lost 2 inches in my waist and 2.75 in my hips! Wahoo! I'm going to keep doing Burn It Up to hopefully lose more!

I recently left my job to be a stay at home mommy, but when I was working, I had the same problem! I would wake up, rush to get to day care and work on time, work 8 hours straight so I could go home earlier (no lunch break, I just ate something at my desk while working), pick my son up and go home. By the time we got home,…

I had the SAME thing happen to me! I had Mirena for a year, right after my pregnancy, and did NOT loose ANY weight post-pregnancy FOR A YEAR!!!! I was so frustrating and I couldn't figure out why. Anyway, I just so happened to go in and get the Mirena removed (seriously not even considering that it was causing my weight…

Wow! Way to go!

When I asked my doctor for some advice on how to loose weight without using addictive supplements, he said to eat really clean, exercise, watch calories, don't eat late at night, and to replace my breakfast with a protein drink. Protein is good for your muscles, a protein packed breakfast helps kick-start your metabolism,…

I'm in week 4 of Slim in 6 and really have seemed to hit a peak with my results here. . . I haven't seemed to lose anything in two weeks. I'm on Ramp It Up and it is still a challenge, so I'm not ready to go to Burn It Up early. Is anyone else in the same boat?

Ugh, I totally agree. I've finally lost a little weight, but refuse to buy clothes that fit bc I still feel like they are fat clothes. I can't wait to fit into my pre-preg pants again. I wasn't super skinny then, but comparing to what I am now, I am feeling like I was. Lol! My goal is to get back to my pre-preg weight AND…

What a popular topic! I am totally in the same boat! I am also very new to MFP, so please add me as a friend. I need the support! I have a son who is now 17 months (does time just fly?!?); I didn't lose ANY of the baby weight until he turned 1 year! Ahh! It was awful, but I've kicked my exercise up to high-gear and am…

Wow! Way to go! You look great! Thanks for sharing!

I started Slim in 6 yesterday! I'm really excited. I am doing the six day diet too, but I really don't like collard greens. Anybody have any suggestions on what else I could have? The other options in the book aren't really available right now or I don't like them. . . . Any ideas or do I just have to suck it up and eat…

I would like to do this! I definitely need more people to be accountable to!

Hey everyone! I just ordered my Slim in 6 today and can't wait for it to arrive. I would love to have a little support group for the journey. Anyone up for it?

Oooh, I totally feel the same way! I've always been a curvy girl---not really fat, but always trying to lose a little weight. I have been trying all summer to lose weight from my first baby. I've lost some, but would really like to lose a bit more before the fall! My baby is 16 months old now and I am soooo tired of…
