Hi! Its funny how so many peoples' stories are similar! And yours is very similar to my first pregnancy!!! I have since had 3 more babies and have tried to do things differently.. like being on here... Feel free to add me and we'll battle the baby tummy (and rest of the body) together!! If anyone else wants to add me, go…

Hello from New Zealand!! Good luck with your journey! If anyone would like to add me, feel free too. Cheers :smile:

You look heaps different! Alot leaner! Its good you took the second round of photos wearing the same clothes! Good on you, keep up the good work!!!!! :D p.s... I wouldnt be too concerned about what other people say or do not say.... its how YOU feel that really counts! If you feel good/better than before, well that is the…

Hi there, My baby is 6 months old now, but I am keen to help motivate you guys or give advice/what has/hasnt worked for me over the past few months etc... :) Losing weight after having a baby can be hard work!! Ive had four children (in 12 years) and I SERIOUSLY STRUGGLED with weight after baby 1 and 2... now Im a little…

Starting tomorrow is ok! haha! :D

Hey! Thanks :D Bit of motivation and support is great! Good luck to you too!

Over all, 20kgs... but Im not thinking about that at the moment! Just trying to focus on the first 6 kgs!

Hi! I think we all go through patches like this (well I do from time to time) Fresh air can do the world of good!

:wink: Hello! Welcome to MFP.... I think this is a great site. Its a real eye opener, to how much calories we are/can consume, and how much is burnt off with exercise! Good luck with your journey!!! Will add you. Cheers

I was wondering about protein shakes as well.... Thanks Peanut Butter junkie for a bit of insight. :D

Good on you for having a goal and a date! I can sympathise with you on the whole kids and flabby tummy thing! and I think its great how you have a kind of 'reward' thing with the getting your hair done or new phone-reward. That's a great incentive i reckon. Good luck with getting to your goal! You'll feel great when you…

Hi! Im a NZer too! Mother of 4 kids. 6months-12years old! Loves to bake..... eek... ends up on my hips! Up until this week I have been a 'home-maker' (haha!) for 18 months +/- but am starting back at work this week.... eeek, again! Feel free to add me if anyone wishes! :blushing:

Same here! I used to eat SO MUCH and never really thought about calorie intake. Breakfast (if I was at work) 2 toasted bagels with LOTS of butter and strawberry jam Breakfast (if I was at home) 4x toast with marmite and margarine, + a bowl of toasted muesli, milk and yoghurt. (sometimes with canned peaches/apricots) Lunch…

Thanks everyone! I am very pleased to know I am not the only one who struggles with snacks and naughty foods!! I bought some strawberries today as my shop didnt have very nice looking grapes... something healthier than cookies for me tonight!

Same here... I only count water as water. Coffee, tea, lemonade, coke, flavoured milk etc... is separate and not pure water! :)

Hi Charlotte, Im Joy. Never had a real eating disorder, I just tend to over eat! haha! MFP does help you track what youve eaten. Ive been on here for 2 weeks now, and its amazing to see how many calories ya consuming! Good luck with the weight loss. :D

Yes, very happy to see the All blacks win tonight! The Kangaroo's wallopped the Kiwi's though :( So its 1-1 for both countries!!! No bad. Why be selfish! Its better to share the love, wins and losses around! Now, lets nail those Frenchies next weekend!!!!! Go the might All Blacks!!!

Oh dear... I love fruit.... eat lots of it daily (5+ a day!) I do know its full of fructose... but I would rather munch on grapes, apricots, apples, bananas, plums, pears, etc.... than on crackers, chips, bikkies etc... less than healthy foods which I also do enjoy..... so I choose fruit! No fat! and relatively lower in…

Hi Sara! Im Joy, 31, and from New Zealand. Its RWC here at th moment. Never been interested in rugby... but this month its been pretty intense! Go the All blacks! and good luck to you with your journey on MFP!! :D :D

Hello! Im in the same boat! Im a mum-of-four... female, fat and nearing forty... well, not quite nearing forty... just thought that sounded half ok! haha Good luck with this.... Its worth it :D

Congrats for still losing!! haha! I am unsure why this (losing weight whilst eating more calories than burned) happens. For me, in the past I may have eaten lots one week, but had no change on the scales... but the next week I may weigh more. Or one week I may do lots of exercise, but the scales may weigh more,.... then…

How about changing some of the foods you are eating? Try some different foods (that are low calories). An example may be... try eating soup, instead of sandwiches. Soup high in water and vegetable content may fill you up faster, and could be lower in calories? You could try having oat porridge (no sugar, no milk) just made…

Hi! I am a breast feeding mother as well; baby is 5 months old. (plus i have 3 older children too) Could you possibly change what you are eating to more healthier foods, and consume less fatty/salty/sugar-laden foods? That way you still would be eating lots of food to fill you up, and eating less high calorie foods! Could…

Congratulations on your weight loss thus far.... :happy: This whole weightloss business is why we are all here.... to support each other! Keep up the great work JT

Ahh... bliss! Good on ya. I think its good to have an 'off diet day'. Keeps ya sane. I like hot chocolates... so for my 'fat day' I would have 2 or 3 hot chocs! sssh! and some chocolate scorched almonds or chocolate roses.... just chocolate in general! haha. Back to the good, healthy food tomorrow aye>!?!

Hello everyone! Im a kiwi Feel free to add me if you like! Hello again, Miss Candice83!

That's excellent! Keep up the good going!

Good luck to you too! I used to use Weight watches... but had to pay $40 p/month... so i just dropped that last week... and ironically my friend emailed me the link for MFP... and whatyaknow.... here now! and its free! :D

Yay for you!!!! Congrats on the 2kg weight loss. That's excellent. If my scales work properly tomorrow I will also know (fingers crossed) how much i have lost! Good to hear you reset your plan and it gave you those extra cals! My first week has been good. I feel leaner around my waist, so fingers crossed! A couple of times…

Good luck to you too! :bigsmile:
