  • That's what I do... I am actually glad to see when my carbs are low and I'm over on fat and protein. I just don't pay much attention to the division of the calories, just the total amount. I figure as long as the fat/protein is from good sources, it's just fine. And if I go over a bit on calories, I think that's better…

  • I believe in lower-carb weight loss... so while I'm watching calories, I don't bother watching the actual categories of fat, carbs, protein. Actually, I'm glad when my fat and protein are in negative numbers and my carbs are not. :) It's REALLY important for everyone, esp. bf moms to be eating enough fat. Good fat. Dairy,…

  • That's what I was going to recommend. You aren't going to be able to feed him the bottle... at least at first. I've had FOUR reluctant bottle babies. We waited "too long" too.

I was about 110 before I got married and while I was healthy, I think I look better with a bit more weight than that! Plus, I AM 15 years older than I was then... and have 4 kids...

  • I've lost 5 lbs. in two weeks... I've watched my calories and have added walking. I was surprised to see how many calories I was really eating each day. MFP has been a huge help. I don't really expect to lose 5 more in the next two weeks, because really, 2 lbs a week is the most anyone should be losing. I like the "If you…
