I'm in! I've done it before but not consistently. Lately, I've been focusing on just running, but I do want to add other workouts. :) Please feel free to add me, folks! I have two boys, ages 6 and 15 months. I was well on my way two years ago, having lost half of my goal when I got pregnant with my second son. I wasn't…

Congrats on the birth of your third baby! :) I have two boys, ages 6 and 15 months. I was well on my way two years ago, having lost half of my goal when I got pregnant with my second son. I wasn't very active on MFP during my pregnancy either, much less after he was born. And I lost some friends too along the way. The ones…

I went ahead and logged based on the HRM. I'm redoing the workout tomorrow morning, so I'll see if I get the same results.

thanks, guys, for your replies! :)

Thanks, ThriceBlessed! :)

MinnieInMaine: I have a Polar FT7.

teamAmelia: Yes, it did look like it was still tracking my HR. After resetting, it would jump back up to a number, but then go back to zero after beeping. I do plan on redoing the workout tomorrow with the same effort. :) LisaMfit4life: Thanks for the reply. I had always read that HRMs are best, but with such a huge…

i'll admit, i felt the same way when i found out i was pregnant. i had already lost almost 30 pounds and thought, oh no, i'm gonna gain it all back! but in the end, it's all worth it. i can't wait to meet my little one! :)

i am currently 12 weeks pregnant with baby #2. with my first, i weighed 200 lbs when i found out i was pregnant with him at 9 weeks. i was only supposed to gain 15 lbs, but went on to gain 35. i was afraid he was going to be a huge baby, but he only weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. i was 31 then, i'm 36 now, and with this pregnancy, i…

First, let me say, 12 lbs in a little over a month is pretty awesome!! Be proud of that! :) As others before me have already mentioned, the more you weigh, the more calories you burn and the faster the weight comes off. but once you start getting smaller and smaller, there is less fat to lose, and therefore, the loss just…

hi there. i am currently 12 weeks pregnant with my second baby, and was told at 8 weeks that i have gestational diabetes. i was surprised that they tested me for that so early. i remember with my first, i was tested at 4-5 months. luckily, i didn't have it then. but you're so right. it's no fun at all! i hate the diet…

congrats on achieving your goal! i would say, change your settings from losing X lb per week to maintain your weight and keep up with your exercise.

just the help i was looking for!! i just found out a couple of days ago that i'm prego and since i've already been using mfp since february for weight loss, i still plan to use it to help me gain the appropriate amount of weight. i'm 8 weeks along with my 2nd. according to my weight and BMI, i am only supposed to gain…

Heaviest Ever: 235 lbs the day my son was born on June 30, 2008 Lightest Ever: 7 lbs and some ounces the day I was born. Heehee... Lightest I can remember as an adult was 175. Started MFP at 223 on February 26, 2012 Current: 194.8 Goal: 160 Height: 5'7 Age: 35

i had been wondering about that too! lol. you can find the jillian michael's 30DS workouts on youtube...full workouts for each. i got the dvd from netflix and copied it to a blank disc, but now can't find it. so i look her up on youtube using my wii. :)

definitely use old pics as motivation. see? <---- :wink: i save mine on my phone

ok good! :)

hmm...throwing up your food might have something to do with it too. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/718763-all-the-questions-no-one-wants-to-ask?page=5 i hope you're not really doing this....unless you've caught the flu or something!!! :tongue:

you need to consume more calories. eating under 1200 puts your body in starvation mode. eat enough calories so that after you've burned some off, you'll be at 1200 NET.

First, let me congratulate you on the 34 lbs you've lost!! That's amazing! :) And congrats on your new baby! Yet, another amazing accomplishment! :) Please don't get discouraged over not seeing the number on the scale budge, because after all, it is just a number! Have you tried tracking inches? How do your clothes feel?…

i'm taking breaks too. lol. my first day was thursday of last week. i was soooo sore for 2 days afterwards. i did day 2 i think on sunday. then days 3 and 4 tuesday and wednesday. i will do day 5 tonight. :)

i can most definitely see a difference! great job!!

your metabolism slows down as you get older, so yeah, it can be a little harder now to lose weight than it was when you were in your 20s. but don't beat yourself up over it. weight loss is not a race. you didn't gain weight overnight, so you're surely not going to lose it just as fast. i'm 35, and it's taken me 6 months to…

wow! simply..wow! you don't even look like the same person! lol! amazing progress!

i don't have a treadmill so i can't compare, but if i had one, i would prefer outdoors. i love jogging at the trails by my house. they give me motivation to push harder...to force myself to complete the 3 miles in less time than the previous try. though having a treadmill at home would be nice when the weather sucks, i…

strap your girls down and go jogging! i wear 2 sports bras and a sports tank with a built in bra to keep my puppies down when i go for my jogs. they're not that big...at least, i don't think they are...but keeping the girls down has helped. only pain i had was with my shins during the first week...then my knees a couple of…

fabulous idea!! hope mfp is "listening"! lol

i weighed 200 when i found out i was 9 weeks pregnant. that was in november of 2007. on the day of my c-section, i was at 235. doc initially told me i'm allowed to only gain about 15 lbs. whoops. i'm at 198 now. i've been working on cardio only so my belly is still a soft pillow. boobs? yeah, let's not go there. lol.
