Great work!!

You look seriously fantastic!!! You should be proud! Your arms are gorgeous!

Yep you need to eat more!!! Make sure you're getting lots of protein too.

Wow with the weight loss and blonde hair you do almost look like a totally different person! Great job!!

Great job! You look fantastic!!!

Holy crow you look fantastic!!!! You're gorgeous...even in your before shot!

MFP already accounts for a deficit so you eat the calorie allowance they give you.

How?

My 20 mth old eats food but also nurses at least 10 times a day....I still only account for 300 cals b/c I would rather underestimate than overestimate.

Breastmilk is in the food database but I didn't like adding it there...mostly b/c they require measurements of how much milk you're delivering which of course you can't know unless pumping. I created my own exercise for it and add it in that way. You can see it in my diary if you want.

Once they're eating food it's less...so 300 cals.

Great thanks!

My gym doesn't currently have spin classes although they do have the bikes....I think there just wasn't the demand for the spin or something? I'll def keep watching the schedule and see if they add the classes back in. I currently do weight lifting and am working at increasing weight/decreasing reps. Honestly, I just don't…

Thanks for posting...very interesting! She is absolutely beautiful!! And my fav part is that she breastfed her son until he was two:wink:

The lack of responses makes me worry that it's likely hopeless:sad: I I just want my legs to not waggle when I walk!:grumble:

How does losing the weight slowly help?

I'm not really sure why this thread has caused so much controversy. It's pretty simple...500 cals when EBF and then 300 cals once they're having solids. You def need to eat enough to continue to produce milk and also be healthy yourself. I've lost 21lbs so far and I eat back every calorie from BFing and my exercise.…

Ok I'll check there...thanks.

Bwah hahahahaha

Here here! My goal for the past 4 yrs has been to do a half marathon by the time I turned 40 (I wasn't sure if I was going to be done having kids by 38). Well, since I AM indeed finished having more kids I've decided to run one this year. The biggest one in my area is at the end of September so I have LOTS of time to get…

I literally gasped when I saw your after pic! Fantastic!

ITA!!! It's supposed to be a time of just enjoying our time together. I do not know a single fat person who doesn't already know that they are fat!!! Who the hell can't see it in the mirror? And fat people are already self conscious about people seeing them...why in the world would we want to point it out to them and make…

Holy crap! You look fantastic! You were cute before but now you're gorgeous! And I LOOOOVE that blue dress!!! Congrats!

OMG you must have people not recognizing you!! You look fantastic!!!

That's awesome...congrats!!!

OMG funniest story ever!!

You REALLY need to give yourself more credit...you look soooooo different!!!! Fantastic! Now you just need to work on your confidence:flowerforyou: I'm not trying to be glib....you really put effort into saying that we probably wouldn't see a difference...claim it....you worked for it and you achieved it!!

Bumping to hear more responses. I found on online calculator that averaged about 500 cals/hr but I'm worried that's too much.

Bumping so I can read more responses!

Wow that's a huge difference!
