I have 5 kids ages 2 to 7 (no twins) and started a couple weeks ago with my transformation. Trying to lose 20-25. It's hard some days!

You can add me. I'm a mom to 5 little kids and I'm trying to lose about 20-25 pounds. I just started a couple weeks ago with exercising and eating better. Feel free to add me! We can support one another

I have major sugar cravings when I'm low on my daily protein. I'm only 5'1 but supposed to eat about 100g a day. Anytime I get "snackie or get cravings I eat 4% cottage cheese and a carmel rice cake. It helps me SO MUCH!

Im 5'1 here. I started a week ago. I need to lose about 20#'s, but more importantly tone up. I am eating 1275 calories a day...i lost 1.8#'s this week but lost 7.3" overall. I am doing HIIT training 3 days a week and weights 3 days a week. I am also eating very healthy and try to remember eating my macros in protein and…

I increased my cals to 1500 yesterday and today I weighed myself and I lost 2 more pounds since yesterday. If I add breastfeeding then my TDEE is 1500. I'm not exercising and I'm not peeing all the time. I though average sized women only lost a few pounds of water weight. I've tried losing weight in the past but this has…

Thank you!!! I'm trying to get my baseline so I will increase my calories to1600. How do I get my baseline if I keep losing water weight?

How much water are you drinking? If you are close to menstruating that can cause it!

Ok, I will add the 150. Yesterday she only nursed 2xs. Even with that though, you have to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound. Is this 4 pounds just water weight even though I'm drinking around 6-8 glasses a day? I'm just not understanding how I am losing so much so fast.

Well, Its been another 2 weeks and I came in at- 24% Body fat (2% loss). I weigh 123.2 (.8 lost,) which translates to losing 2.64#'s fat and gaining 1.8#'s muscle. I also lost 2 inches overall in the 2 week period. Is my loss going to start slowing down a lot or should I consistently lose around 2% body fat every 2 weeks?

I cant wait for that moment!!!

That is awesome!!!

Here are my numbers for those wondering... I lost 1/2 pound on the scale BUT I Lost 4 pounds of fat and ADDED 3.5 pounds of muscle... (which explains only seeing a 1/2 pound lost).

I haven't noticed a difference in how my clothing fits but then again... I wear pants with waistbands that have a "stretch" to them (not true denim jeans). My trainer told me to put on some tight true denim jeans that have no stretch to them so I can actually see a difference in the next 2 weeks with how my clothes are…

March 20, 2014 2:56 PM That's what I thought! I try to net 1200 after eating back my breastfeeding and exercise burns. 900 sounded way too low! I'm wondering though since my BMR is 1340, if that is what I should have as my net goal???

Love my polar loop!!!

Any body weight train while breastfeeding? I had 4 kids plus a recent miscarriage all in 4 years and I decided I MUST get my body back! Im 28 5'1 124 lbs and 29% body fat! I have been exercising for 2.5 weeks. i strength train 3 days a week with 20-30 minutes of cardio and i do an exercise class with cardio 2 days a week.…

I agree that you aren't eating enough. I would also cut out the coffee... Water works wonders! I have 3 kids under 2.5 my youngest is 3 months... I eat 2000 calories a day a try to hit that number everyday. Here is how I calculate that (BMR 1385 x 1.375(exercise 2-3x week) + 500 nurse full time =2400 Cal 2400 - 500(deficit…

Pilates is great for your entire body... Especially your Tumtum and bumbum
