I'm newly a SAHM of a 2 year old and a 4 month old. Feel free to add me, could use some friends in the same situation as myself. Looking to lose 90+ pounds, 60 of which is left from the babies.

Hi, I'm Becky, my son will be 6 weeks old tomorrow and my daughter will be 2 on the 18th. I lost 35 pounds using this app before I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, gained it all back and never lost it. When I was pregnant with my son I gained 30 more pounds. Now I hang out with my kids, eat and pump breast milk.…

I feel your pain! I've been at home for the past 6 weeks, since I had my son, with my 2 year old daughter. It seems like I'm always eating. Most of the eating is boredom and stress I think.

Hey, thanks, Smokey, I just googled this and it brought me to this page. None of the other links were working for me. :smile:

never let people make you think you're not good enough trust your instincts, if they say run, damn it, you better run! nobody has a right to put their hands on you, EVER be a kid as long as possible, being an adult is not as great as it looks ask me for help, i'm your mother, i don't care what it's about, i will help you,…

I'm 25, and 15 weeks pregnant, I'm due March 1st. I was on this program since April, I lost 32 pounds, and apparently it jump started my fertility. lol Our little monster was unplanned, so we kept it a secret till we knew it was a go. I actually gained weight between having NO energy, the stress eating, and the cravings.…

I'm in DeForest, I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one, was beginning to feel a little lonely! lol

i usually work nights so i eat breakfast around 10:30-12, i diary from when i wake up till just before i go to bed. so mine is roughly 17-19 hours. i don't see the problem doing it by 24 hours.

I use it all the time, I'm glad I could help!

i live in DeForest, and I was wondering about the same thing. Would love somebody to walk or hike with!

My MFP friends are great motivation for me. Any time I work out or have a Non Scale Victory they're always there to tell me what a good job I'm doing. I find half of the time I do what I'm suppose to because I don't want to disappoint them. I don't want to be a stereotype anymore, people think a lot of time because I'm fat…

my FAVORITE is pancakes and sausage with coffee, but most mornings i do cereal and coffee.

i say go for it. let someone know where you're going and how long you expect to be and take your phone with you. if you're going to listen to music and you're honest;y concerned about your safety keep the music down or one ear phone out. i think you'll be safe, but it never hurts to take precautions.

have you talked to him about your ex husband and what he said to you? i would have a calm (if possible) discussion with him about how it hurts to have him say that to you. and for goodness sakes, you're carrying his child! he wouldn't want you depriving the baby of what it needs would he? and weight loss is something you…

try googling it, or go to zumba.com i think they might have a calorie burn calculator there for you to use

start again, but small. you can always build back up.

I'm 25. I haven't reached 50 yet but next week I'll hit 30, and it's taken me 2 1/2 months. That's also with me slacking these last couple weeks. I don't really have a plan per SE (I don't know how you spell that) I eat smaller portions, it sounds dumb but I eat slower, so I can tell when I'm full. I drink 8-12 glasses of…

i use to get called princess fiona! i don't think you do, but apparently you're my prince!:laugh:

eat it THEN start your diet, bahahahaha

i take a stool softener with my vitamins every day and it really helps. also, fiber one has some really yummy products you could try ( you don't know you're eating fiber!) here's to hoping for a good poop! :drinker:

i started my change when i was on vacation from work, so when i got ready to go back i went to the McDonald's website http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/food/food_quality/nutrition_choices.html and literally wrote down anything under 450 calories. that way you can make better informed decisions. most chains have this i've…

i've found every once and a while "binging" as you called it is okay, i had a weekend where i ate nothing but crap after weeks of eating well. i was panicking didn't want to get on the scale and when i did i found that i had actually LOST 3 pounds. splurging every once and a while will not derail you. don't stress and try…

i just saw your post about fast food, i work for Mcdonald's as a manager and i actually find it pretty easy to eat well there. my favorite things are the chiptole grilled chicken wrap (250 cals) , a side salad (20 cals) with grilled chicken (120 cals) with southwest dressing (half a packet 50 cals, a little spicy, mmm!)…

i'm probably going to catch crap for this but i suggest eating breakfast, i only looked at a couple days of your diary but i immediately realized you weren't eating until lunch. for me personally it works, also, it's not always about calorie counts. it's most of the time what you're actually eating, so maybe try adjusting…

They say 1-2 pounds a week is the healthiest way to lose weight, so I say you're right on track! Keep with it! 11 pounds in a month is awesome!

I know 5 pounds doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot of work to melt off just 1 pound. We gain it so easily, not realizing it will be 5 times harder to get rid of that one pound. I've lost 27 pounds and I notice a huge difference, I'm down 2 pant sizes but it took me 2 months to lose that much and when I look at that…

Fiber One has some great tasting fiber bars. Honestly you don't even know you're eating something that's good for you!

I've had this problem, I take a stool softener every day with my vitamins. It's embarrassing, but better than the alternative.

I did not claim that it was the Holy Grail of weight loss, dude. All I said is that is what worked for me. I didn't know then why and I'm not completely sure now. Is this a life or death situation? Is that why you're responding to everyone that disagrees with you? We were asked for our opinions, meaning what we think…
