Update: It's the end of week 5 and I'm down 10 pounds. I'm ecstatic! :#

I understand the skepticism. The theory behind food intake is that the body has fat reserves that accumulate during pregnancy to maintain a supply. The handful of lactation consultants I've spoken with give an example of women in other countries who are undernourished and are still able to breast feed ( go figure). As far…

Interesting..

Yeah, so breastfeeding is a whole other topic all together that I'd rather refrain from getting into. I understand the concern, however this is my third child and according to every lactation consultant I've talked to about supply, says eating does not affect supply. I disagree but that's what experts have told me. As far…

No I don't weigh food as I don't have a scale, nor the money to get one. I do a lot of different classes, zumba, ripped, insanity, in addition to running two miles and lifting weights. As for the HRM I do use one with a chest strap and transmitter (Polar brand). Additionally I've been going to the gym for the last 5 years,…

I don't know exactly what happened, but I've lost about 4 pounds since this post. I didn't run out and buy a food scale (sorry I'm poor lol) and I didn't change anything to my routine, but I'm very ecstatic to see this new number! Thanks peeps!

Is there something I can do to counter that?

Thanks for all the replies. I think most if what I'm hearing from everyone is to weigh foods to get better accuracy of what's going in, and ditch the HRM? Sound about right?

Haha! That's cause that's a an old picture of me from when I lost weight on here the first time! I'm 5'7" and current weight is 180, my goal is 140. Just had a baby at the beginning of January.

Curious... how would working out make me retain water? Wouldn't it do the opposite?
-
I see.. so for portions where the serving is in pieces, do the companies typically have corresponding weight info to accurately weigh?
-
Well when the portions on the box say 17 pieces... That's when I count... Or when it says 1 cup, what is there to weigh?
-
Apparently.. And no I'm not eating back half what I burn... but according to everyone else I'm over eating... This is just confusing lol. Sounds like I should just toss the idea of eating any food period out the door :/ I just can't imagine from typically eating 2,000 calories plus daily that has maintained my weight to…

40 pounds.. and my calorie intake for last week was 8,500.. so on a 1,200 calorie a day diet that's 1,200x7=8,400... I'm no where near 14,000
-
Even by just going over 100 total for the entire week?..
-
I am in a calorie deficit... so not sure what the problem is.

40 pounds

No I use a heart rate monitor when working out and do a lot of cardio (zumba/ interval training) in addition to running two miles and lifting weights...
