I made my own oatmeal packets recently so I could put in extra super healthy stuff. I put in oatmeal, oat bran, ground flax, chia, dried fruit, and it clocks in under 400 calories and next time I'll use less of each thing to make it smaller because it is too much. You just cover it with water and put it in the microwave…

This exactly. They are selling the stuff, the package is right in front of you. Homemade stuff is harder. I look it up on here and try to pick something comparable or I don't log it, but try to log everything else that day.

It is so variable. Do you exclusively breastfeed? How much does your baby eat/weigh? I'm breastfeeding too, but I don't log it. If you are indeed burning up 500 extra calories a day (awesome) then you could set it for maintenance and lose a pound a week or set it for a pound a week and lose two. I urge you to see what your…

I'm in the same boat with a three month old at home. I took depo (a long time ago) and could not lose weight no matter what I did. I actually gained 20 pounds over the course of a year. After pregnancy it is natural to focus (or obsess if you are like me) on your body. There is no longer a baby in there, but it also isn't…

Two under two here. Little one is three months this week and wants to be held constantly. Pantry and freezer food helps a lot, I have been eating a lot of protein bars and apples. Now I have to reign it in so I can lose weight....

Almost everyone has the following menu: Roasted turkey with stuffing Mashed potato with turkey gravy Cranberry sauce (canned usually) Sweet potatoes (the mini marshmallow recipe is super traditional) Green bean casserole (Campbell's recipe usually) Pumpkin pie Of course everyone does it a bit differently but this is the…

Doesn't matter, just pick the right label. The log should say raw or cooked.

You are adorable and I forgive you for believing that vegetables (or fruits or grains) don't have any protein.

I don't understand either. Isn't body composition about proportion? So if ultimately, you want to stay at the exact weight you are now, wouldn't you just hit the weights harder, lower your cardio a little and eat more to maintain the muscle, eating more protein and less fat? Why would you want to gain pounds instead of…

Are you sure your sugar is in check? Having gestational diabetes (I do right now) increases the chances that you will have problems with diabetes again.

I have been looking at this post for awhile, considering the original idea of being able to lose weight without starving myself. I at one point in life knew what it was to be free and make healthy choices automatically. I had lost about 60 pounds putting me at 180. I am now totally out of control. To the girl who asked…

Sadly, I have been a lot smaller. Donated everything, then gained all the weight back. Now I have a closet full of clothes that are too small and I miss wearing. Hope that changes.
