Feel free to FR me - I'm totally in! I started at 290, down 19 and have about 100 more to lose but will reassess in 50 and go from there. I need to be able to play with my very high energy kids the way I want to! :)

For me it was getting accidentally pregnant with my second baby and weighing more at the beginning of that pregnancy than I did at the end of my first with my son. I ultimately decided to change for my babies, I wanted to be around a really long time to raise them and be the mother I had always envisioned! I want to be the…

You could log the extra pumped oz if you wanted. I too have/had an overabundance of milk. Before I started decreasing my supply I was making about 65 oz a day! Now I produce around 45 to 50, I only pump and I log 25 of those oz. It does give me an extra 500 cals per day which is nice but I haven't lost any weight in at…

I'm 5'6" and my starting weight was 265 with 275 being the highest ever. I set my goal weight to be around 175 which I think I will be happy at, I met my husband at around 190 and I'd like to be a little smaller than that. I'm not going to be skinny ever and I like that, my goals are derived from simply wanting to be able…

Oops, I'm super smart! :) Ok so when I do my TDEE its 2179 minus 20% puts me at 1743 - I worry, will that be too little? I've also heard of eating for your goal weight, so find both your TDEE and BMR for goal weight and then somewhere in the middle, which also would be around 1750, give or take a few..... I just don't want…

Well I'd like to lose another 50 lbs, I've almost lost 40 right now. I havent gotten back into excercising much yet but my goal is 3-4 times a week, once of yoga and 3 of cardio and I'd like to lose my weight within the next year. I was able to lose the bulk of my weight during my pregnancy thus far so I know I can do it.…

I need some help with this topic as well, I exclusively pump and set my caloric goal to be 2000. HOWEVER, I pump around 50 oz a day, so I'm curious, should I allow myself an extra 500 calories or should I allow myself 20 cal/oz? I dont want to give myself too much, but even more important I dont want to throw my body off.…

I dont know if I'm just blind but I cant seem to find the option to tell it I'm breastfeeding, can someone guide me? I am EPing and producing about 60-65 oz daily and am 8 weeks pp. Thanks!

I started my weight loss journey about 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant. My maintenance caloric intake was 2360, I cut mine down to around 1500 and did that until I was about 20 weeks, then increased it to 1700 and now am at 1800. I will admit I am not good at logging food and havent been for about the last 3 to 4…

I am 29 weeks and havent gained anything, I lost about 30 lbs during this pregnancy and have maintained that weight loss. I havent lost any weight in the past two months. My doctor is beyond pleased as its due to eating healthier and moving more so, so far so good!

I personally love to have a cup of low fat vanilla yogurt with 1/3 cup macerated strawberries and 1/4 cup of my favorite vanilla almond granola and its about 250 cals total. It doesnt hold me over quite as well as some eggs do but its so quick and good and healthy to eat at work that I really can't beat it.

I walk 3 times a week and do a 90 minute yoga class to help keep me in shape and maintain my weight loss, at 26 weeks I have yet to gain anything and am stil down 30 lbs!

You also may want to contact your local WIC office about breastfeeding. I'm not sure if you qualify but they always have a lactation consultant (a good friend is the one for our local office) and they are extremely PRO-breastfeeding. Its too bad that your hospital charges so much, both of our local hospitals offers them…

This pregnancy was an oops, for sure. It took a long time for us to get pregnant with our son, I always assumed it would be the same if I wanted another baby. I had been tracking my period and they were never really that regular, about 45 days in length. I thought I had ovulated the previous week, we actually only had sex…

I probably weigh myself twice daily, in the morning and before bed. Ive maintained my 30+ lb weight loss and know that for me, I'm actually losing weight still but the baby weight is balancing that out so I'm within a few lbs of my lowest weight. My OB isnt concerned at all about my weight and I continue to lose at every…

Bump

Breakfast burrito, one sausage link, little potato, egg whites and one egg, cheese, salsa, sour cream and one tortilla. One glass of Simply Orange with Calcium and Vitamin D. It's super filling and sooooo delicious!

You burn 20 cals for every 1 oz produced, if you know how much you're producing then you can log your calories burned (breastfeeding is under food, it gives you negative calories when you log it) and just eat back what you burn or a little less. You may not be eating enough because if you're getting less than 1700 calories…

Ive only deleted one person and I did it because when I looked at her food diary and it was McDonalds 3x a day it irritated the crap out of me bc to me this is a lifestyle change, eating junk food every meal is not making that change AND it really chapped my butt that people were saying 'way to go' and 'good job' when she…

Has anyone had their ultrasound yet and found out the sex? We find out on Friday (4/20) and I can barely wait...were hoping for another boy....teenage daughters are a nightmare....Id rather not go through that stage again?

When I was 14 or 15 my mom told me that I should lose weight because "Husbands dont like fat wives". I only put on more weight being so upset over her comment over the years and theres a reason I'm in therapy now...

My mom told me when I was like 14 or 15 that if I didnt lose weight no man would ever want to marry me because men dont like fat wives.....theres a reason I'm in therapy....

Mine is "Eat to live, not live to eat!"

I would think if you made a stew and had TONS of veggies in it like potatos or turnips and parsnips, carrots, celery onions etc etc, that it wouldn't be that bad, and use the recipe tool and it would tell you how many calories it would be. Also you can choose to have maybe a thinner stock or really bulk up the other…

I love to snack so I dont even try to fight the urge, I'm just more thoughtful of it now. I do try and hold off so I dont eat it all in one sitting but I pre-log all of my food for the day so I know what I have for snacks and roughly when to eat them. I've also started eating healthier snacks (oranges instead of cheetos)…

Even though this is a transition for me and I'm not done yet I've lost 25 lbs but I'm pregnant so while things are shrinking on my body (like my backside, and arms and chins) my stomach is growing and it's really screwing with my head that even though I'm losing weight, my body is also getting larger while this baby grows.…

We are super close!!! Age: 27 Height: 5'6" SW: 265 CW: 243 GW: 168-175 I'll add you!

I know the medication sucks but I was on it and it only took me 6 months to become regular and 9 to get pregnant. And actually if you're eating a healthy diet the medication isnt horrible but I know what your saying, I didnt want to be on it either but it had been so long since I had been regular my doc opted to just skip…

I have a friend that calls it laundry on top of the washboard LOL!
