  • I think eating supper earlier may actually be a really good idea! I usually eat once the kids are in bed, after 7.....but on exercise days I find it hard not to nibble from their plates while feeding them supper. Or at least schedule a well planned snack at that time.
  • True! Thanks for pointing this out! I'm not being deprived! This is GOOD for me!! And I love how I feel when I eat well and exercise. And the food never tastes as good as I think it will, and I feel like crap afterwards.
  • You guys are pumping me up! Thanks!!! I'm trying to prepare myself for when I try to delay. Giving myself counter arguments if you will. I'm going to come back and read this thread to help.
  • Thanks for the encouragement PaytraB and MamaRiss! And i'm totally in the "right now" mood at the moment. I have alot of stress in my life that leads me to the "tomorrow" thinking. For some reason food is my first reaction to stress. And when I think "tomorrow" in my mind I am sincere, just keep pushing it back. I just…
  • D'oh! I should have searched for it. Sorry if this is an annoying reoccurring question! :)
  • Ohhh measuring what's left is good! Dont know why I didnt think of that.
  • Yes that is three servings, well I'll probably only have half a chicken breast, but for 3 people. But I also know that not all the oil makes it in as it is visible in the bottom. But I guess some of that could be from the chicken too. I wish there were a way of knowing this for sure! I like to count very accurately!
  • That's suppose to be "how much to count". It wont let me edit it.
  • Thanks for the replies everyone! I got some good info here and some new breads to look at! :)
  • Congrats on your baby! Im exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old. My 2.5 year old was bf'd to 2 years but i didnt lose a pound after the initial baby weight loss! :( But I also barely tried. I'd say if you are full and making healthy choices, baby is gaining well, you're doing great! The reason they also dont want you to…
  • Years ago when I lost 70 lbs I was doing a low carb diet focused on lots of veggies and protein. I didnt count calories per say, but I'm sure I was eating somewhere along the line that was lower than mfp would recommend for losing 2 lbs per week. I also never ate back my calories. I worked out at the gym 5ish days per…

  • I'm also afraid of losing my boobs or them being really saggy (more so than they are now. LOL!). I'm currently a 40H!!! I know right!!! I'm breastfeeding too still so hopefully that's part of it!!! But I like having a bigger chest. I always have. Just not THIS big, but I'm afraid that I'll lose weight there faster than…
  • I have neither an IUD or use cups, but I know several ladies that do, and I have just heard that you need to be careful when removing the cup since I guess there is a slight slight chance you could dislodge the IUD. I would just make sure you break the suction before you pull out the cup and then gentle ease it out.
