using the word "addiction" in regards to food is just another way of putting the "blame" off onto someone or something else instead of evaluating yourself and your habits. It allows people to feel like their lack of control is not their fault, it is their "addiction" and cannot possibly be controlled by simply making…

I also have a hundred friends on Facebook selling it...every post they make i REALLY want to ask how much weight they have lost because I know it isn't jack *kitten* but I love the way they turn it around to being about health and not weight loss blah blah blah...oh and always talking about how much money they are making…

everyone has given great advice, but I wanted to add that 110 lbs before you had kids may have been a good weight for you, but getting to 110lbs after kids may be all wrong for you. your body changes after having kids and will never look exactly the same again, you may not be able to get to that weight ever again and that…

I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 135, once I get there I am just going to let my body do what it wants naturally, I will continue to eat well and exercise and if I continue to lose great, but if not I will be fine too. I was 115 in high school and looked good but after 2 kids I don't see myself being there ever again, and I…

I am at 5'3" 164lbs and a comfortable size 10 pant and large top, I have a DD chest so I don't know that I will ever get into mediums unless these things shrink a little bit :grumble:

I had the same experience so I am totally getting what you are saying. I do not think you are trying to say anyone should stop breastfeeding for any reason, but I know I was very frustrated when I could not lose weight while breastfeeding more frequently, especially because everyone I knew told me that the weight just…

my sister did that diet for 4 months and lost almost 80 pounds, and once she got to a weight she was happy with she started eating carbs again, and just generally eating more although she was still eating healthy, probably around 1400 cal a day and she has gained back almost 40 lbs in the last 2 months or so. she is now…

Has anyone else shoe size gone down?? I went to buy new shoes yesterday for a wedding coming up and discovered that I have went from an 8 to a 6 1/2 or 7 :noway: and my feet were not "fat", at least I didn't think they were :laugh:

I am still nursing my 13 month old daughter and I do not log my breastfeeding as calories burned anymore because she is only nursing twice a day now. when we were nursing more I put 350 calories burned. I eat 1200-1400 calories a day, I do not eat all my exercise calories because I did that for a month and gained weight,…

Thanks for responding ladies, I am going to continue nursing until she decides we are done so I guess I may have a while to wait to really see some results. I am walking 8+ miles every morning, doing 30 minutes on the elliptical every afternoon and doing Jillian's 30 day shred 4 days a week, so I will just keep plugging…

I started MFP on 1/5 and have lost 14 lbs since then :bigsmile: I had my daughter in March '08 and I am still breastfeeding, we are down to twice a day. I was able to lose almost 20 lbs right away and not a thing since then until last month. I had a hard time dieting when I was nursing more often because I was afraid of it…
