Feel free to add me! I'm a new mom hoping to lose 40lbs of pregnancy weight. My son is just a month old. :smile:

Hi I'm Caroline. I'm not new to MFP. In 2012, I used it to lose 40lbs but in 2015, I found out I was pregnant! I did my best to stay fit during pregnancy, but I had so much fatigue that I didn't do more than light walking. Anyway, I gained those 40lbs back, so I'm hoping to lose the weight. I have a beautiful baby boy who…

Sure!

Liberating. Just be safe!

AMAZING! You look incredible!

My boyfriend works a stressful job and forgets to eat all the time. I have to do the same thing, so here are my suggestions: 1. Smoothies in the morning using bananas, protein powder, greek yogurt, and/or silken tofu 2. Cliff bars 3. Make a big pot of bean soup (or nutrient-dense soup) that he can snack on throughout the…

Great skin!

My face gets red too. I don't mind, because I know my body's changing.

Married!

YES! When I first started I could barely do 2 or 3. But now I can do 50 in a row!

Lol! I eat that many eggs in a week as well.

My legs, most of all! They're not slim but they're very strong and toned looking. I also am starting to love my waist. My waist has always been small-ish with a lot of tummy flab above and below, but it's starting to change. I keep touching it because I can't believe how tiny it is now.

I would get a second opinion, honestly. Your body needs calories just to function properly. And 1200 is the amount of calories recommended for a 7-year old boy to put that in perspective!

Yup! It's taken me a year and a half to lose 30 pounds. But I'm focusing on changing my entire lifestyle rather than just my waistline.

What studies say this? It seems like that came from a women's magazine from Cosmo. Trust your heart and your instincts. Remember everyone's different. Some people only need to date one person; some people date 50--and that's ok!

Wow!!!! You look amazing! Great job!

I have an overweight cat. She's lost 1.75lbs so far and needs to lose about 1.5lbs more. But the thing that works for her is portion control and feeding her the same times everyday. Also, wet food helps her feel more full, so she's less likely to beg for treats. But everything I've done was recommended by the vet. So maybe…

Bump!

I drink whole milk personally. It keeps me fuller longer, so I don't need a lot...and I really just use it in my coffee.

Bump for later! Thank you!

1. 5 (2 sneakers, 2 flats, 1 heels) 2. Um, I need to replace the flats...so, prob still 5 or 6? 3. 4 (3 pants, 1 pair of shorts)

The first one is AMAZING.

Awesome!

My plateau lasted for 7 months.
