The 100 calorie snack packs are good and they have cookie ones. Or try sugar free jello. Angel food cake with fruit! And drink water with it to help keep your blood sugar from spiking. :)

Goldfish crackers are great because they're small and you can nibble on them. A serving is about 55 crackers and it's only 140 calories. Not too bad. I also like plain baked lays. My little one is VERY picky on foods so plain works well for me. The peanut butter sandwhich crackers? Austin and Keebler and I'm sure 100…

All of my girls were lactose intolerant. I eat a lot of 'water' foods - soups with lots of broth, and fruits like melons and oranges. Drink LOTS of water too! I take fenugreek capsules when I feek my supply is getting low. It's about $12 at GNC for 90-120ct. It will tell you how to take them on the bottle. Pumping after he…

I can understand! I have girls who tend to be on the underweight side (They didn't get those genes from me!!) So their doctor has actually said for me to keep a few junk food items around the house and use them to reward the kids for eating all their food at meals, quick on-the-go snacks, etc. So the rice crispy treats are…

The biggest thing really is to check with your doctor and listen to your body. I've had 5 c-sections and my body has had no problem saying 'Uh, yeah this is as far as I go. Good luck to ya.' Lol. Anything cardio is good - biking, swimming or any water exercises really. Don't forget you use your abs with weights too, so you…

Go to youtube and check out bicycle crunches if you have never done them. First time I did those I could feel a difference from regular crunches. Even now after only a few minutes I can feel the tightening in my abs. Intense and I love it. But cardio is the best way to lose the 'flabby' look. As for the dieting - I love…

I've had 5 c-sections, so my first question is - is it your external scar or your uterian scar? If it's your uterus, I would consider calling your doctor and just making mention of it. If it's your external scar, so just the skin stretching, I can see that. Especially if you are doing your crunches on a stability ball or…

I can completely relate! I have 5 little ladies, but the first 3 I had in less than 4 years. My poor body was wrecked! Even now with our newest (and last) little one, I'm around 157-158ish. But I need to be around 130lbs. Diabetes and other weight related health issues run in my family. So it's really important that I stay…

This sounds great! I have 2 little ones at home and rarely seem to get them to nap at the same time. So once the baby (2 months) is asleep I put on Strawberry Shortcake for the toddler and get on the Wii Fit Free Step. I'm not saying I love working out to strawberry shortcake, but hey whatever works! ;p

Some friend and I have decided this week we're working toward burning 100+ calories everyday. Everyone is busy, so there are no other rules, just as long as at the end of the day, your total is 100+. I find if I've worked out at all, I will at least second guess as to whether I really want that treat. If I do still want…

190 after the birth of my 1st child. Was 177 when I came home from the hospital with our last - that's when I really started MFP.

I was looking for a guy to hook my friend up with and my sister had a friend with 4 brothers. I figured our odds were good she'd find someone. Lol. Well, she didn't but I did!! He was 19, I was 17. He was so freaking cute and a true gentleman. We spent the first 3 months glued at the hip. I moved in shortly there after. We…

Try starting with stretches and short walks, multiple times a day for exercise. If you have access to an indoor pool that is one of the best non-impact ways to exercise! Tracking what I eat has been a HUGE help to me. I was thinking my diet was 'ok'. If I ate candy or something, I had the tiny bite size ones and like you,…

Try some portion control on the things you like, that hubby and little one have. Like figure out what a serving is, then fix up some containers of 1/2 portions, etc. I looooove sugar! But diabetes runs in my family. So big reason to cut back on it. But for chocolate, I get 10 m&ms or for the 'cake' cravings I use whole…

I'm right there with you Carolina! Commitment and/or burning out too fast. I'll hit it hard and heavy and lose 10lbs in about 2 weeks. Then I'll be exhausted, decide to take 'a little break' and end up giving up. That's why I decided to start tracking my food right after the baby was born. Since I had a c-section, I…

When I first got on here reducing my sugar in-take was a big goal for me. I found I was taking in 150+ grams of sugar a day!! I'm now down to about 50 grams a day, and no longer crave sweets. I can have about 10 plain m&ms and that will satisfy my chocolate craving instead of a king size chocolate bar. ;p This has also…

I was nursing and on the mini-pill when I got pregnant with my 3rd daughter, so I don't really trust it. ;) We go the IUD route. It's worked well for me and I can get pg immediately after getting off of it. I never had any hormonal side effects, i.e. weight gain, break outs, etc. And it never effected my milk supply…

When tracking your food, go to add a food and put in breastfeeding. I think they have an option for partial or breast and bottle feeding. I'm exclusive right now and they had 500 calories for that. But what it will do is show a negative amount of calories. So if originally you were suppose to eat 1600 calories, it will…

Hi everyone! I'm new here too. :D My name is Tiffany and I just had my 5th little girl on 11/10/11. My other girls are 9, 6, 5, and 2.5. I'm from Memphis, TN and am looking to get rid of all this baby weight - for good! Lol. I'm still recovering from my c-section, so it'll probably be after the holidays before I can hit…

Hi ladies! I'm new here, so I'm just going to jump in. I'm still playing with my features so I'll look into tracking water. I drink a lot of reduced sugar/natural fruit juices, but I'm sure the water would be better. As for the overwhelming/toughest part of being a mom? Well... I have 5 little girls. Lol, so for me it's…
