following, I started lifting 3 weeks ago 5x5 and I feel like I could eat every hour! I did initially loose a 5 lbs but this week my sodium was up so I gained it all back. I usually eat around 1500-1800 and log my weight training in MFP as strength training weight lifting and it logs as a 30 min workout as 115 calories…

Hey all, I'm new to lifting. Just started working out again after baby #4 last April would like some like minded ladies to have as friends to keep me motivated. Currently doing the Clutch Cut workout from the bodybuilding.com site. Feel free to add me I'm hoping to loosing the last 15 lbs

also looking for active friends

ok thanks guys, I have a fitbit flex, so it's the basic version just records steps. So adjusted steps gave me 184 calories burned + my circuit for 20 min was 215 burned. and that was for approx. 45 min of exercise

add me too!

I have the fitbit flex it's the basic version and I keep it on my non dominant hand while working out. I have checked it before and after my works out videos and I usually only added a few steps not enough to make any change to calories burned that it registers

33 yrs old, 5'5" starting weight varies I just had a baby #4 last April so I was around 210-215 just after he was born?. I only started logging when I got back to around 195 last summer. I am 180 now, I do have a fit bit but I don't double up on calories burned I log my workout and then it shows my steps (fitbit) separate.…

I work 12 hr shifts, 4-6 days a week. I do really good on my days off and workout and do the best I can at working out at 5am before I head to work. Even if it's 20 min Jillian Michaels video I try and get some movement in my day

sorry I don't really know how much detail everyone needed my food diary is open, I work out several days a week eat back most of my workout calories. I started following the trim healthy mama food plan recently so my fat for the day is usually over the last little bit but I was hoping that might help jumpstart my…

thanks, I am weighing/ measuring food. working out drinking water I'm super frustrated and don't know what I'm missing. thanks :smile:

add away, I also need some accountability

I need some mom friends too. I have 4 kids 11,9,2, 4 mo. and work full time. I have been working out the last few weeks, and trying to get in 10,000 steps a day w/ my fitbit i'm making sure I log everyday and staying accountable feel free to add me too :smile:

Need some motivated mom friends too, I'm going down the list sending requests :) I have 4 kiddos 4 mo, 2, 9, & 11. I have about 25lbs I'd like to loose

looking for motivated friends as well, my youngest is 4 months old and I just came back to work this week.

Right there with ya, I'm getting back into it again and would love some extra support and accountability friends

Yesterday was the first day all week I didn't finish my water. I was busy and never grabbed my water jug after work. I hope to get back on it today. How is everyone else doing?

Thanks!

12 hr shift today so I'm going to squeeze in a walk after work

Any coffee drinkers? what do you do to keep it calorie friendly? I have this horrible weakness for white chocolate mochas. I caved this morning and bought one on my way to work, it puts a HUGE dent into my calories for the day and I did it anyway. I usually have coffee with the sugar free sweet cream creamer when I get to…

Hi everyone. so glad to have the working moms group ! I was a stay at home mom a few years ago when I joined MFP and this is a whole new ball game working 40+ hrs a week. I have 3 kids (10,8 & 10 months) I usually do pretty good eating throughout the day, its the dinner choices that I need work on and getting motivated to…

I would love some motivated friends as well. I'm on everyday and logging but can't seem to make good choices so I stay with in my calories. Getting workouts in is also challenging.

Hands down get the body bugg. I have had nothing but great success in the 3 weeks I've had it and can only thank the body bugg. I LOVE MFP but now I only jump on every so often to check back with everyone. The information you get from the body bugg is so valuable to weight loss if I had only known years ago to up my…

I get quotes everyday from runners world, this one made me laugh. No one ever drowned in sweat - author unknown

Is it new or used? I have a f11 and i love mine!

How do the recipes look? I have her book making the cut, but a lot of the recipes were things I don't normally have on hand so I didn't make them. I love her master your metabolism book so I was hoping the recipes were better for families with sm. kids.

I just started buying laughing cow cheese and in the past 2 weeks have found some awsome combo's! I get the creamy swiss. I cut up apples and spread it on top celery bagel thins spread for ritz crackers on eggs- seriously this one is great. put 2 eggs in a bowl and whisk them up, put them in the microwave for 2 minutes.…

My new one I love is to have a banana with 1 tbs peanut butter. BUT I have been making a huge effort in adding veggies and I just tried a serving of carrots + 3 celery stalks with 1 wedge of laughing cow swiss cheese. It fills me up plus I get in veggies all for 100 calories!!

oh that's great! i'm so glad you found one, the seat was something to get used to but you definately need to find one that works for your body. I was so suprised to learn that after all those years thinking the big seats were the most comfortable, the smaller seats are actually better for your bum who knew? haha

I bought a bike last year after really enjoying the spin classes but wanting to exercise outside. I picked up a Trek 7300 hybrid and I LOVE IT. We usually take a few 12mile rides a week and we pull the kids and I don't know how we survived w/ out cheapy walmart bikes. My best advise is to talk with several bike places and…

Sounds like a great idea, I need to challenge myself I havent' done much of that lately. anyone have any mini goals they would like to accomplish in 4 weeks? Here's a few I just thought of for myself, and I'm hoping by the end of 4 weeks to have lost 6 lbs! drink 12 glasses of water a day push myself more on my workouts…
