Hello There, I am also a mom who gained 50 lbs (after) I was pregnant. MFP is really helping me get the weight off and keep it off. Consistency and accountability really helps. Best to you!! Chris Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

You are in the right place. . . Welcome aboard!! [img][/img]

HI There, I felt the same way, but It's possible. I'm 36 and the mother of a 26 month old daughter. I tried everything under the sun with NO results. Here's what FINALLY worked for me: I know it's difficult, but if you can find time to workout about 20-40 min 3 times a week in addition to counting calories, you will begin…

You still get gifts from you grandparents!!! Just be thankful for that...LOL:laugh: Honestly, I might be offended by that too..... But you know what kind of people they are... do they normally do and say things that are "in-your-face" offensive? They probably did not mean any harm.

Hi There, It sounds like you need a little more variety in your diet...? Can you throw in some good carbs like cooked broccoli and cheese with oven fried chicken or grilled tilapia with spaghetti squash. Stuff like this helped me while I did the low carb thing... I have to be honest with you. It was hard to maintain my…

Hi There, Welcome aboard! I wish you much success! Just remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint... Patience and endurance is the key... Chris

Hello: Welcome aboard!! You will certainly find this site useful. Best to you!

Hey, thanks for the pep talk. Boy was I in a rut this past week, and I won't even mention how mean my scale was to me this morning, but my workout this morning was great and I'm back in the game!! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I commend you for wanting more for your family and for thinking long and hard about this decision. I am the mother of a 23 month and we currently are living paycheck to paycheck since we are now a 1 income household so I know what you are going through. Times are tough, but going to war is even tougher. Just do what your…

Boy, I totally know what you mean. I gained about 50 lbs since my daughter was born two years ago. Like you, I snack a lot . . . especially when you spend a lot time chasing a toddler around the house, there is not always a lot of time for healthy eating. It gets easier as they get older. I wish you the best! Created by…

I'm sorry.... depression sucks! Try, and I know it's hard, but try to focus on the good things in your life. If you need to have something fried or sweet (go ahead) but be good to yourself - don't over-do-it. Sometimes you just have to do what you've got to do in order to cope. Just know that tomorrow will come and it will…

Thanks everyone!!!! Your advice has been REALLY HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I totally agree. The accountability is great and it is really an eyeopener to see the content of EVERYTHING you eat. Seeing everything also helps you readjust when things get off track...I went to o'charleys and ordered grilled salmon w/vegetables and rice (it was nearly an 800 calorie meal) yikes! Created by…

Oh Gosh, ME TOO!!! The last straw, was a couple of weeks ago, I was at JC Penny's and I just felt all-out ashamed of how I looked. It was like I was the only "big-girl" in the room. The next day I asked my hubby to add me on to his gym membership and I joined myfitnesspal.com The rest is history. Sometimes it takes a…

Yeah, and it's crazy that you burn so many calories is such a short time. I usually go for about 30 minutes and burn 300 calories! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Calculator

Hi Lizz, I so feel your pain. I have a 22 month old and I weigh more now than I did when I was pregnant. After my daughter was born I became an at home mom and I piled on the pounds. Before pregnancy I was 210 now I'm 250. Like you, my knees hurt and so does my back and a whole lot of other stuff. The koo-de-gra for me was…

Well, it sounds like my mother has a twin sister.(lol) It's good to rant, but it's better to heal. Trust me, I'm in the healing phase. All I can say is this. Some relationships (no matter how sacred) are toxic. People like that may never see themselves for what they are ...so we have to see ourselves for what we are. We…
