  • Congrats to you and your wife on your new addition! Your routine will be changing constantly over the next 12 months, so I recommend being flexible and taking it easy on yourself if you're sleep deprived. Once they start sttn (sleeping through the night) and not needing overnight feedings things get easier. Schedules and…

  • 5'6" here- goal weight is 150. SW was 275 CW is 264. I can't imagine going below 150- lowest I recall in the last 10 years is around 185 and I was a full size 12/size 14 at that time. I'm curvy as well, last time I spoke to a Dr. about it they set my goal weight around 170-175. If I get to 170 and am happy and healthy and…

  • I have a Polar FT7 with chest strap and reset it for every 1 lb loss (I wasn't sure how many lbs you were supposed to rest for, so I have just been doing it for every lb to be safe)
    in Question re: Calories Burned from Exercise Comment by enzosmama July 2014
  • I'm actually not confusing them, I am talking strictly about the Fitness goals- not my daily calorie intake/diet goals. My concern is that MFP has me set at burning a (what I think is) a significantly higher calorie count than I actually do with my workouts. So does my body tend to burn a lower rate of calories when I'm…

  • Tears of joy. Then I celebrate. I have a bunch of mini goals with rewards set up for myself along the way, but my reward for my ultimate goal is a shopping trip for new clothing. I am sure I will need it then. Then it's time to re-evaluate and determine next steps to maintain the healthy habits and see what I can work…

  • Hi mama's! My name is Kara, I have a 2.5 year old son. I have been on and off with MFP since 2012 but consistently back for just shy of a month now. Back in 2012 I lost 40 lbs with MFP but gained most of it back. I'm committed to taking it off and keeping it off this time- my goal is to lose 125 lbs and I'm down a total of…

  • My goal weight is 125 lbs less than my starting weight. That is my main goal, but I have set up small goals/rewards along the way to keep me motivated and help celebrate even the small successes. This is what I have on my profile: Goals: For Every 5 lb loss- A new song for my workout playlist! Lose 15 lbs by 8/16: Reward:…

  • Something loved ones tell me quite frequently to keep in mind: A comment about your body weight/shape has nothing to do with your self worth. It is simply a statement about your physical appearance. Only you can link those two together- your self worth and your physical appearance. Now, I agree, society has dragged us to…

    in 365 days and 72lbs down w/pictures. Comment by enzosmama July 2014
  • It doesn't much make a difference if you weigh yourself at the beginning or the end of the day, as long as you're consistent. I personally prefer to weigh myself first thing in the morning right after peeing :-)
    in What time of day do you weigh yourself? Comment by enzosmama July 2014
  • Hi ladies- My name is Kara- I'm 35, I live in NH, and I have a little guy who's just over 2.5. I've been on and off MFP (and WW previously) countless times. Back in late 2012 I'd dropped about 40 lbs on MFP but fell off the wagon and most of it came back on. All tolled I have about 125 lbs to lose, I'm currently around 11…

    in what do you drink in the morning? Comment by enzosmama July 2014
  • I don't care for metal water bottles personally, I have a Camelbak Eddy that I love. I have three actually. The Eddy is double walled so it doesn't sweat if you put ice in it (which I always do) and it holds 20 oz. Dishwasher safe, BPA free, and it has a straw which is one of my biggest things- I need a straw. Just another…

  • Graduated high school (ahem, 17 years ago) at a 34B. Graduated college at a 36C. Now I'm a 38HH. I've had a +/- 40 lb fluctuation over the past two years- this is the largest they've been during that time. I'd gone down to a 36F at one point. It's all very dependent on each person. I'm pretty confident that when I reach my…
