Hi! I am 42, been at this a while. I will send a request.

My husband is like yours. I do all the work and he benefits from the healthy meals I make. I started around the weight you are and lost also 50 pounds in 2012. Then I found out I was pregnant and it has been an uphill battle to lose more since my daughter was born. She just turned 2. I have a 7 year old who is being…

I had two children and waited for a while to try for more. We tried for a 2012 baby and didn't succeed. I didn't really want a 2013 baby so we quit trying for a while. I thought I would try to get in better shape for a year and found MFP. I lost nearly 50 pounds in 6 months and ended up pregnant. That 2013 baby I didn't…

I tried to add myself and it wasn't working right. I added a line and then couldn't even finish it due to scrolling issues. I am sorry if I messed something up. I will see if my husband can help me figure it out tonight. Sorry again.

Hi, I'm Stephanie. I have been at this weight loss thing for almost 3 years. Slow and steady for the win. I am getting close to being under 200 pounds finally. I am 5'4" so still lots to lose. I have 3 children ages 1.5, 7, and 9. And a husband. We live in SC and I am trying to turn myself into a runner. I love new friends…

I have a 17 month old that is like that with naps. It drives me crazy! My oldest 2 were so consistent, but not this one! I am a SAHM to 3 kids, 2 go to school. Feel free to add me. I would love to have more SAHM friends. I feel like what we do is so judged. This is what is best for my family right now. Money is super tight…

I am loving jello with a bit of cool whip right now. Around 100 calories, less if you can do sugar free

I am home with my 3 kids and am 38. I lost about 50 pounds in 2012 and then we added a baby to our family. Since she was born I have been able to maintain but I am now getting back to losing the second 50 I need to lose. I will send a friend request :smiley:

This is me!! I weigh my food and am honest, use a HRM for exercise and don't eat those calories back. It stinks. But I also don't gain fast. It is like my body just wants to stay where it is. Am going to try more strength training soon though.

Yes!! But I am like that in general, I hate to run out of anything like tp, money, food etc.

My baby is 5 months and still exclusively bf. I just started logging again recently so I don't know if it is working but I set my goal for 2000 calories and don't log the breastfeeding. You are welcome to be my friend and view my food diary. I plan to taper down calories as she starts eating solids. I also plan to start…

My goals for this year: Exclusively breastfeed for 6 months (over halfway there!) and continue breastfeeding until she can have milk. She is my third baby and I have never reached this goal. Get into the ONE hundreds for weight. I am about 25 pounds away, depending on the day. Get my exercise, whether I lose weight or not.…

My youngest baby is 3 months, my others are 7 (8 in a few days), and 5 but 6 in a couple months. My January baby is easy to get bday presents for at after Christmas sales/clearance :-D

I had my little girl 8 weeks ago and am having a heck of a time resisting sweets. I have started walking/running again and logging, but it seems harder than before. I lost all my pregnancy weight, but now I am starting to gain again!!! Can't let that go on any longer!! Will send a friend request.

I just had a third c-section. I personally don't think mine will go away without cosmetic surgery, but I am just going to lose weight sensibly and see what happens :-)

My suggestion would be to have healthy foods you like first, wait 15 minutes and then if you still really want something extra, have a little. If you can, take a walk o get some exercise daily, that would make me hungry right after, but then I would have a healthy snack and not be as hungry later. I have had 3 babies, and…

Wow, you have lost so much weight!!! Great job! And Congrats on your pregnancy!!

I went through that with my first pregnancy. They finally said he was 6 pounds by u/s, around 36.5 weeks. They ended up inducing me at 37 weeks due to pre-e. His hr dropped too low and I ended up with a c-section. Turns out he was only 4 pounds 10 oz. The good news is, he is perfectly healthy today @ 7 years old. He did…

We have a cradle that goes right next to my side of the bed, and we have a pack n play at the foot of our bed for diaper changes and an alternate place for her to sleep. Also have another pnp for the living room. I am sure there will be nights where she and I fall asleep in the recliner, and we plan to have a bouncer seat…

Kelly, I was thinking the same thing, that this time I won't be wearing maternity clothes for a year after like before!! I do have some nice yoga pants, although being plus size I feel a bit odd about wearing them out places. I don't have to go to many places though, once school is out for the summer. You guys reminded me…

I started my first and third pregnancies at 230 pounds. I am not sure on my second one where I started but I was 271 the day he was born. They are both healthy, normal boys. I did end up with high BP and pre-eclampsia symptoms with my first two. THis time I am hoping to avoid it by eating a healthier diet, walking, and…

I am obese still, although I have lost 50 pounds. I started this pregnancy at 5'4" and 230. I lost 8 pounds in trimester one and have been slowly gainly it back so I am now at almost 26 weeks and 228. I am having a harder time resisting sweets lately though. This will be my third child. I have two sons, 5 &7 and this one…

I just wanted to say good luck!! I had to take the 3 hour last time and barely passed. I don't get sick easily, but having to drink that sweet drink in a short amount of time really didn't feel good. Then I really just wanted to sleep. If you do end up with GD, it usually goes away after pregnancy.

My oldest child tested low in vitamin D, and they wanted him to take a normal amount 400iu and get at least 10 minutes outside per day. He was just retested but I don't have results back. He is 7. I was taking 5000 iu per day when I got pregnant and finished the bottle. Now I am taking 2000 iu per day. Plus whatever is in…

Mine was pretty close to max hr, usually around 186-190 and I had been working out for months. Then I started getting a random higher number for my max, like 216. I found out I was pregnant shortly after, so make sure it isn't that.

15 weeks today and down 7.5 pounds. I am still obese so hopefully it's fine. I eat when I am hungry and am not trying to lose, just haven't quite found the magic maintenance number yet. I do feel some swelling in my legs already, and the boobs are bigger. I am not sure about the belly, my pants aren't tight yet but they…

I am 14 weeks and have lost 7 pounds since I found out I was pregnant. I was not trying to lose weight but I did keep up normal exercise that I was doing and I am eating more. My body was just in weight loss mode still and I had trouble at first eating more with the nausea. Also, I am still obese so that probably makes it…

I have had issues like this lately. I have found that the strap itself has to be right side up. Look for the very faint words on the strap and make sure they are right side up. So the hook should go down into the loop when fastening. It could also be the battery in the transmitter, I changed mine before I figured out the…

My morning sickness let up recently as well, I had a week or so of days over by maybe 300 or less calories most days. Now I am back under control so I think I needed the calories. I didn't gain weight from it either. Maybe give yourself a few days and see if it lets up (the hunger). This pregnancy thing is tricky!

My MIL had a lot of grand illusions early on with my first. I am a shy person but I put my foot down from the start. It worked, she finally came around and figured out what not to do. You have the power, don't be mean but state your concerns and don't hand the baby to her if she doesn't meet your standards. When my first…
