  • I found the same thing... most of my sugar "limit" would be taken up by my 1-2 servings of milk! I don't consider that an added sugar, just as the naturally occurring sugar in fruit seems like it would not be as negative a nutrient. Sugar is confusing. The only thing I know about for sure is that HFCS is a no-no! :)

  • Try to use the gym as your outlet instead of the food - or go to a movie you would enjoy, or get yourself a new book to engross yourself in. As for the gym and the holidays, don't stress about trying to lose weight during what is such a stressful time for so many, I recommend just trying to stick with an execise routine,…

  • I too am a slave to the diet coke. I have done the following to help me from over-indulging: Never keep it in the house Only buy fountain drinks (that way, I feel like I'm getting a lot more, but the ice is taking up a bunch of the volume) Stick to one per day - never more. Good luck - it's a tough one to kick!

  • So much can change from day to day that weighing yourself every day is an excercise in frustration... and definitely - don't drop below 1200 calories and eat more than that if you're doing a lot of exercise. You have got to eat in order to lose weight. Food is fuel!

  • Lucky thing for you is that you are young, and your skin probbably still has the elasticity to shrink back in, however, you will have to give it time - it will not happen overnight, and from what I have read can take a year or more, depending on the person. IMportant that you do some strength training to help with the…

  • Welcome back... I'm relatively new to MFP, but have liked it so far, although I feel I have tried lots of stuff before, and lost and gained. The gains after the losses are always the most frustrating IMO. I hope you will find the support you are looking for this time around - best of luck! Rose

  • Hi - I too lost weight during my pregnancy, but like you, it all came back after I stopped breastfeeding. Sad that we take such good care of ourselves when we had a little one inside, but don't take as good care of ourselves after that little one is on the outside! Good luck in your journey to health!
