I know this feeling well.

I remember a comic strip (cathy?) where she was asked if she ate when she was happy, sad, angry, or bored and she said yes. I'm part way through my 1 year mat leave. When I work, I have trouble losing due to time (work full time, hour commute each way, 2 (now 3) kids, husband gets home much later than me). Now at home, I…

I'm here too. I've been going up and down the same 5-7 lbs since February. Initially, it was stress (new baby had a NiCU stay and was followed by blood draws for a few issues for a few months). Now I am at home and all I want to do is eat. I know what I should do. I know meals I've used in the past. I know I sholdny eat…

Starting from June 8 monday June 15 Me 4 The Binge 4 Binge free (3) 1

Starting from June 8 Sunday June 14 Me 3 The Binge 4 Binge free (3) back to 0

One day :( I find the first couple days binge free are really hard and then it feels ok. Then I start to wonder why I had a problem and by days 15-20, I really struggle. In the last 5 years, I don't think I've made it over 30 days. Good luck!

For me it is eating. Both what and how much. My goal would be 80% healthy but the reality of that varies. My bigger problem is portions, healthy or not. I won't over eat carrots or anything but nuts, eggs, cheese, and seeds can easily add up if I'm not paying attention. I like exercising and I exercise regularly but it…

Yup. I tell myself the logic but I still do it :(

Starting from June 8 Friday June 12 Me 2 The Binge 3 Binge free 2 Hoping to keep this momentum

I feel the same as you.

I'm nursing my 5m old. I feel like I take a few steps forward and a few steps back. I'm fine for a few weeks and lose 3 lbs then I go off track and gain back 2. I'm frustrated because I've lost pregnancy weight before (1 was easier than 2 and 2 was way easier than now). I'm frustrated at the gym because some stuff is so…

Starting from June 8 Wednesday June 11 Me 0 The Binge 3 So far today is going much better so hopefully I don't derail at supper.... Anna, I have lots of stuff call to me. I have portion packs of stuff for kids lunches and treats for one potty training. I try to get stuff they like and I don't but some times before I know…

I'm trying this again to snap me out of bad habits. I keep gaining and losing the same 5lbs and I still have 30-40 to go.... Starting from Monday... Me 0 The Binge 2

Not sure how much weight you have to lose but I always lose in my upper body first. With my belly, I lose inches but it looks the same until I get to the top of my "healthy" weight. My belly looks the same but by measurements I know it is smaller. As I get close to my goal, it changes in appearance and stops looking so…

I'm having this problem today and never had it in the past year. Hoping it gets sorted out soon. Anything that I enter in MFP shows up in fitbit but not the other way. So irritating.

I went up to 181 after this but am now at 177 (13w pp) I started losing after I set my weightloss goals to 1 lbs/week, don't count BF but I eat back my exercise calories. I figure something in there balances out.

My kids love the childcare at the gyms so they beg me to go. They also really like our babysitter because she brings special arts and crafts that they don't get to do otherwise. Them liking what they are doing makes it easier for me to be away. Is there something special the person looking after your son could do? He is…

$30/month for the gym + $30/kid/month for childcare Monday-Saturday at GoodLife (2 kids now +1 more in summer once school is out). I can use any of their locations but would have to drive a bit to get to one with childcare. It was hard to find a gym here that had childcare. I would have liked the Y but could only get…

Mom of 3 (6, 3, baby). Currently on mat leave until 2016 so trying to take advantage of the time to get good habits in place. Once I go back to work, I work full time with a 1.5 hour commute each way so time is pretty tight.

you could try bikinibodymommy... She has a couple of 90 day challenges on You Tube (free) that alternate between a cardio focused day and a weights day. You do need dumbbells for it. They are usually about 10 minutes activity plus a warm up and cool down.

I wouldn't worry about the fat amount unless you have some kind of health issue. If your fats come from a healthy source like avocado or nuts they are fine and you just need to worry about calories. If they come from a less healthy source like chocolate, it isn't a huge problem as part of a healthy diet. If you have 2000…

I find when I do over 15k steps, I need more food. My general rule for eating back exercise calories is that my net calories should be over 1300. After that it depends on how I feel.

I have to say, I'm still struggling. I haven't really gained more but I haven't been loosing. Too much easter candy (I had to buy more for the kids because I ate what I was giving to them) . Hopefully, is part of it so that is over. My next struggle has been with my son. He has had a few things come back as requiring…

I had #3 in January and lost almost 20 lbs in the first two weeks. I've gained 5 lbs back since :'( When I had #1, I walked, did a DVD a few times a week and ate normal. The 50 lbs I gained was gone within 6 months and only the last little bit was tough. With #2, I joined a gym at 6 months post partum to get help in losing…

Had trouble over the weekend but have got back on track. Went for a walk yesterday with baby in the carrier and did a mom+baby pilates DVD this morning. Not sure if he liked it but he didn't cry so that is good. He also broke is 4 day spell without pooping before we went out so I'm pretty happy about that too.
