HI! I just turned 37 a couple of weeks ago and have 2 month old twins. I also have four other daughters (ages 11, 9, 7, and 3). I need to shed some of this weight (about 45 lbs) so I can keep up with them all!

Track daily!

Me!

No tattoos...but got the tired, chubby, mommy part down! :) I've got a four (9, 6, 4, and 10 months)…it's a crazy house and I fantasize about sleep!

I really think if you just watch your portions, you will be fine! Eat what you want, but if the serving is large, eat only half. Enjoy your vacation, and if you put on a few pounds, just be ready to hit it hard when you get home!

I'm not vegetarian, but could definitely use more friends here!

I'm a bit behind the curve here (since it's the 5th) but I am ready to join you all! I was about 163 last time I checked..will weigh in tomorrow morning and make an official "start" weight. Aiming to lose at least albs by March 1st….and another 10lbs during the month of March. Here we go!!!! :) :) :)

You are absolutely right that this is how I should be thinking about what I eat…and I have been able to get there before and stick to it for years. I've not been so successful since having my last baby 9 months ago. It's not as much what foods I'm eating, as it is the quantity. I know I have a sugar addiction problem…

9 months pp here and breastfeeding. Still sleep deprived and not making the best choices. This is my fourth, so I know it gets better. Feel free to add me for encouragment...I could use it too!

Love this idea!! I'm hoping to lose an average of 8 lbs a month…so my goal is at least 20 lbs by Halloween. Will weigh in on Fridays. CW: 177 GW: 157

I'm right there with you! I had reached my goal last spring, but then got pregnant over the summer and have gained it all (plus some) back. I have a good 50 lbs to lose. I'll be taking it slow since I'm nursing, but this time next year I plan to be in the best shape of my life! Feel free to add me :)

Amazing!! You are an inspiration!

Hi everyone! New to this thread, but not necessarily MFP. I'm due April 30th with our fourth little girl. :) I was doing so well before getting pregnant, but I've put on too much weight, too fast and I'm really hoping to get things under control these last few months. I know it's going to be even harder after she's here…

Congratulations!! I'm new here too--due April 30 with my fourth, so it is very early in my pregnancy...right now all I want to do is sleep and avoid getting sick :/...hoping logging in here more regularly will help me keep my eating under better control. I need to remember that pregnancy does not equal a free pass for…

I love the dog suggestion too! My heart aches for you after reading your post...I think you are overwhelmed by the work ahead of you and you are letting it discourage you from really committing to a lifestyle change. Try to stop focusing on what you have to lose and how long it may take to get there. Take it one day at a…

Sounds like you are off to a great start!! :) Feel free to add me too if you like!

You've got this! We all have those days/weeks...I am also a mother to three little girls and recently had some emergency medical issues with my middle child--ate like crap for three days straight! :/ All that really matters is that you get back at it and keep moving forward! :)

3 kids..ages 7, 4, and 2 :) (stomach in profile pic)

I struggle with cheat days..always have. I did the same thing as you for a long time and one day I decided to focus on commitment to the lifestyle instead of focusing on the number on the scale. I started rewarding myself for going so many days without cheating (with non food items of course ;) ) ...and after a few weeks…

I gave up diet dr. pepper cold turkey last December (and I was drinking at least 6 cans a day :/ ) I was miserable and had a headache for about four days..but once I got past those first days, it has been SO much easier...stick with it!

You look WONDERFUL!! Way to go on your success so far!! Be proud and keep at it!!! :)
