Hi all :) I'm shooting for a 50 pound loss. Last summer, I started MFP and exercised daily and lost nearly 30 pounds. Now, while that may sound great, it's not because I did it the wrong way. See, when I was in my teens, I had an eating disorder. This past summer I reverted back and was not eating much and exercising to…

I had my first c-section, 3 years ago, he was 5 days over and after 13 hours of labor laying on my left side. He had a big head and couldn't get it turned right so they did an emergency c-section. With my youngest, 16 months ago, it was a planned c-section. I have the "front butt" and saggy skin. My stretch marks were so…

Great job!!!!! :D

Thank you ALL for the wonderful support and suggestions!! This has really lifted my spirits, more than you know. It helps knowing others who have had or are having the same issues and want to help me. As far as my calorie intake, mine is set for 1210/day before exercise. I do eat back some if not half or all of my calories…

I use Splenda. We switched from sugar to Splenda over a year ago and have never had any issues with it. It is the only sweetener/sugar in our house.

I track everything, yes. This way it is precise and I know exactly every calorie, carb, sugar, fat, etc. is accounted for :) I also log on my bad days when I go over. It is a visual for me and shows me what I DON'T want. Kind of a punishment for myself to see how horrible I did that day. Haha :)

Great job!!! I wish my boobs would get smaller...makes it hard to run/jog/anything because they bounce! My husband says it looks like they are gonna sock me in the eyes LOL!

I need to take a before picture too, maybe tomorrow :) I am going to send you a friend request, if you don't mind. This way we can help each other along the way :)

I'll gladly help you! First step is to realize this isn't about "dieting". Dieting is temporary. This is about a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix. This website is wonderful and really does have results if you put in the work. I did it last summer with logging and exercising and lost nearly 30 pounds. I, like you,…

Before, I just hardly ate and went walking/jogging every day. It wasn't healthy at all. I have had an eating disorder before too and I want to steer clear of that this time and just do it right, no matter how long it may take. I have never paid attention to how much I lose per week because with the eating disorder, I…

You can add me! I started MFP last summer and lost nearly 30 pounds! Then I wasn't eating right and so during the holidays and winter, I gained 15-20 of it back :( I am back and hoping to do it RIGHT so the weight doesn't come back again!! I love to encourage others and have other encourage me! :)

Have you tried the 100 calorie snacks? I find that it is just the right amount of sweetness that I need. Also, we switched to Splenda last year and ever since, it is hard for me to eat regular sugar or anything really sweet. You can really taste the difference after awhile and your body gets use to saying no.

Hi! Welcome to MFP! Here you will definitely find wonderful support and amazing encouragement!! I love the people here that I have met and they help keep my spirits up too! I have two little boys, ages 3 and 1 year and they are so busy! I had them both by c-section and because they were so close together I didn't have much…

You look amazing!! How did you do it? How long did it take? I just started the 30 Day Shred to begin my transformation. I was down to 173ish before Thanksgiving...then we went on a visit with family over Christmas and grandma's cookin+my weak will power=a 7 pound weight gain!! So now I am working out daily and trying to…

They say you are suppose to do each level for 10 days each. So, level 1-10 days straight. Then start level 2 and do for 10 days. Then on to level 3 for 10 days.

Same here! I love Pinterest. Loads of great recipes and ideas! I never thought of making an actual fitness board though, great idea! :) If anyone wants to follow me, I'm AngelaG2006. Come follow me yall! :)

I weighed myself this morning as soon as I had my morning pee. Then I weighed myself again later in the morning, after I had eaten a light breakfast and got to moving around a little. I actually weighed a pound less in the later morning, after breakfast! :)

Wow, thanks.

Try Splenda! I lost about 5 pounds just switching from sugar to the Great Value (Wal-Mart brand) of Splenda! Or you can try sweet and low too. There are many options other than sugar now. Good luck!

Wow! You weren't kidding about the triathalon..with 6 kids! Go girl! :) Glad you added me...keep up the great work and choices :) xx

Thank you! I am going to send you a friend request, is that okay? That way we can help each other :)
