I gained 25 lbs with my little guy. I walked every day and did yoga most nights. Walking was the best thing for stress, cramping, bad moods, insomnia, etc. for my pregnancy. On busy days i would only get 15 minutes but on other days I could sneak in an hour. I also ate lots of protein, fiber, and WATER. I agree with the…

Congrats on your success! I would like to ask you about the yoga you do. I want to get my husband to try yoga. He hurt his back again this week, just pulled it doing nothing. What yoga did you start with? Do you have any favorites? I googled Hank Hill yoga hoping to come up with some manly yoga videos for him to try. He…

Dito. I know how you feel. I have a problem binging, on and off since my teens, and usually hide it. I have been doing GREAT the last month or 2 and am finally getting a handle on my food issues. Feel free to add me and we can work towards our goals together.

From the info you have given I would say set your activity at sedentary and track your exercise. I believe that would best reflect your lifestyle right now. Give it a try for a month and see how that works for you with tracking. Best of luck Kelly.

I'm 5'9", 185 lbs, and 35. I started weight lifting years ago with Bill Phillips "Body For Life" and fell in love. I kept with it for about a year, lost a bunch of weight, was stronger than ever before, and looked great at a muscular 160 lbs. I have also done yoga, lap swimming, Zumba, spinning, and group power. Zumba is…

Thank you for sharing your story. You did a great job sticking with it. Those long term goals are so hard to stick with. All your hard work has payed off and now you look healthy, beautiful, and happy.

I used to to yoga with the baby. I would set him up on a blanket next to me with some toys and books so he had something to distract him while I was trying to get through a whole yoga DVD. It was great, most days I made it through the whole thing. I figured baby was part of the challenge. I also used to dance with the…

Welcome to MFP. I'm sure you can do this. I too have struggled with emotional eating, all of my life. One thing that has helped me has to change the way I think about food. I have to think about it as fuel for my body. I only have one body. I am not the only one to rely on my body not getting sick or injured. My family…

Bump. Carrot Cake!!! Yummy.

This is not about a diet this is about changing my life. What I did in the past got me to where I am today. Fat! Choosing to continue with my same old habits was choosing to kill myself with food. I have struggled with depression and binging all my life. I read in a book by Lou Schuler that "Processed food makes you stupid…

I have heard someone say that will power is like a muscle, it gets tired and can fail at the worst times. I think i heard it from Jillian Micheals. That is what has helped me. I take "planed" breaks, a party, family visit, or just because, as often or rarely as I need them sometimes it is once a week, twice a week, or…

With my Fitbit One I only track on MFP. When I first started using my Fitbit I had the same problem and double logged for a while. I find MFP reports to the Fitbit web site consistently but I didn't see it going the other way, but it has been 7 months now since I set it up.

Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

Chocolate protein powder. I mix it with 8 oz milk and 6-8 ice cubes. Yummy. Try it with cinnamon or peanut butter (creamy is best). I get my protein and chocolate fix all in one, it's win-win, and the protein keeps me from binging. Good luck and have fun trying out new things. I have to keep telling myself that being…

I take my kids on lots of walks. I sometimes walk to the local store for a drink or the fruit stand for a treat with my kids. I carry my 2 year old for extra resistance for myself or put him in the stroller. I'm trying to make a new habit of an evening walk with the family. For some variety I reserve workout DVDs at my…

Stuffed peppers with ground beef and green beans with bacon. We are trying to stay low on the carbs with lots of meats and veggies. I'm also making pumpkin custard with half sugar for dessert.

I gained about 25 lbs with pregnancy but had about 40 extra that I was working on when I got pregnant. I lost all my baby weight in about 4 weeks and about 5 lbs in the next month. I breastfed for a year and nine months and could not loose any weight until I quit breast feeding. I have about 30 lbs to loose right now and…

My most resent memorable binge was several months ago. I ordered a double burger, chicken sandwich, 2 extra large fries, 2 extra large sodas, a kids chicken nugget meal, and medium ice cream shake. It's been 5 months but a few days ago I had one and a half king sized candy bars and I don't know why. Anyone have a good book…

Mayo, non-dairy creamer, liver, pop tarts (I hate the fake flavor, extra sugar, and bland flavor)

I love this post. It makes me smile every time and reminds me I am not the only woman trying to build muscle, not "tone up". If you do what everyone else does you will get the same results as them. Most people are overweight and a lot of the skinny ones have no shape or strength. I don't want that. Nothing feels better…

I love this post. Stay strong and do what you want. Rock your independence!

I also am looking for myfitnesspal friends. My family got me a Fitbit for Christmas so I have been using that as motivation. It tells me just how lazy I am. :) We just moved the family to Denver so I would especially like some friends here but anyone that is looking to loose weight and get off the couch would be great.
