It really helped me :) I joined about six months after my second. If your breast feeding that really helps ! And if you are add it in to snacks (just look it up like a food and it will add negative cal), other thing I'd say is try to eat at least your cal allowance, your tired (I'm guessing) and you need to keep energy up…

Hi there, I'm just restarting after about a year off, I lost about 9kg then thought "sweet" now I'm noticing my habits are slipping back so wanted to kickstart Mfp :) it's great ;)

I think maybe today :)

I am an at home mum too for the year with two kids (2 1/2 and 8 months old). Try cutting down the pasta apparently pasta and bread turn to sugar in your body - what I learnt in terms of portion control is one quarter meat one quarter carbs and half (the plate) full of veges. Record what you eat on this site and make sure…

BMR is how many calories your body would burn if you stayed in bed all day. Go to tools I think and its under that - its interesting to know it

Get a mini scale and use that to measure portions then you can accurately put down what you ate (e.g. 100 g of potato as opposed to 200g) cereal is a really nasty one. Portion sizes (museli) are really really small and they are deceptively high in calories. I have started eating 15 almonds, chopped banana and other…

yes definitely figure out your BMR as the other lady said !!

Is your partner supportive? Could you go for a walk together after dinner or before dinner (with the kids so they can see you wanting to get out and do something physical). I agree with what the other lady said about needing fuel in your tank and do try to stop with the processed stuff (very hard in America I would think -…

I have heard that anything processed should be limited so our livers aren't working overtime to filter out the stuff thats in it... and I heard sugar is the main baddy and its interesting to watch where it is and what foods apparently basically turn to sugar when they get into our system. Something I was watching said to…

I have heard that not eating enough can make you body go into "starvation mode" and think that its being starved and it will stop burning fat and store it instead - Im not a professional with this though. Maybe its a case of you not having enough of the right kinds of foods. I have also heard eating too much processed food…

Hi there, I think we all have an ideal of what we would like to be and sometimes our genetics dont play ball> Ive been using myfitness pal as a guide to really think about my food choices and basically just think before I eat and really be conscious that if I am hungry the calories in a muesli bar are high and yet its not…

Good luck I am also BF and I am trying to just do whatever I can - things that fit in like long walks, pilates, occasional run etc. By doing weightlifting wont that mean an initial gain before loss anyway as muscle increases? Anyway I wish you all the best - and the most important thing is your little person - they are…

Yeah crewsicka its 500 (or sometimes more) and they compare the energy spent breastfeeding to a marathon runners...

New Zealand

I read an a couple of really good articles on the net about it and one of them talked about listening to your body and making sure you eat when your hungry (I guess rather than counting the calories)... I also read some contradicting advise one saying you should be eating 2000-2500 cal per day when breastfeeding for 3…

I have heard that when you plateau you need to change your type of exercise but it sounds like your doing a great job :) I would struggle with so few calories I think ... all the best
