There is a documentary called Fat Head where a man maintains a deficit, starts a mild exercise routine (Walking in the evenings) and eats only McDonalds. I think it was for a month? Basically it was to challenge what Supersize said about the average American. That they don't know how to think for themselves and that…

I was on depo for about 2 years before I stopped so we could get pregnant and then another year and a half after I gave birth. I was able to loose all by baby weight and more. I even lost some weight before I got pregnant while on depo. Part could have been I was one of the lucky "weight falls off when you breastfeed"…

I've hit a plateau as well. One of the nice things about nursing an older toddler is that you don't have to worry about supply as much because they are getting a bunch of nutrition from solids and we turn into more of a multivitamin lol. Try playing around with your calories, switch it up for a couple weeks and see if that…

I talked with the Dr. Newman, National expert in Breastfeeding in my country (Canada), and he has decades of experience in research and helping mothers with breastfeeding problems. He has a clinic in Toronto solely for training lactition consultants and helping women with all sorts of problems from low supply to lip/cheek…

"When I want to quit, I remember who's watching." I've got a little one I'm setting an example for! I want to be the mom running around the park playing with my kid, not the one sitting on the bench catching my breath.

I still count the -500 because although kiddo is 8 1/2 months, she only eats solids about once a day. Using the calculator I got around -750 for 39 ounces. I noticed on my input that the -500 is for 27 ounces, if we're producing more then that (because we are with older babies that need more energy learning to crawl and…

You shouldn't actively try to loose weight while pregnant, but you can eat super healthy and keep up whatever exercise routine you're already doing. Morning sickness helps some women (lol) and growing the baby in general takes a lot of energy so if you're eating right your body will dip into those existing stores. I had GD…

I say start now worry about speed and weight loss later. I'm 5'1" and started C25K at around 195lb. I was going about 3.5 on the running parts and now I'm at 4. I just go to week 7 but instead of finishing I went back to week 1 and amped up the speed to 5 to start building speed and more stamina. Do it at a pace that feels…

Tofu can be tossed into everything from soups, salads, wraps, bakes. Toss it with a little dressing, cook it in a little sauce do whatever your imagination can come up with. It's a chameleon and will take on the flavours around it if prepared right. Lentil and beans are also really good protein. Roasted soy beans make a…

I'm exercising 3-5 times a week, breast feeding and loosing weight at about 1 pound to barely over 1 pound a week No lies! It is possible, but I have noticed on various BF forums and here that BFing is not a guaranteed weight loss aide like everyone claims it is. I'm only hungry when I'm supposed to be hungry, right before…

So close! Female Age:27 Height:5'1" SW:203 CW:190 GW:130 Mom to a 6 month old girl:)

I'm breastfeeding a 6 month old who's slowly starting solids. I'm still adding the 500 cals a day because she's still eating the same amount and probably will until she's on a more set solids schedule after she gets used to eating.

Flin Flon, Manitoba! The far north lol My poor 6 month old hates the heat. I'm not wild about it either.

I thought it was ridiculous how hard the first week was for me. I was so tired afterwards but still proud I at least finished. You have to be proud of what you did do compared to what you used to do! I was to scared to try but I finally did it. Struggling or not you still did it! I'm on week 6 day 3 but I've been working…

I have a 1 litre Nalgene bottle that I try keep with me to drink where ever I am. 2 bottles a day and I'm good. I like to add flavour as well, might sound weird but chocolate raspberry liquid stevia actually tastes pretty good in water lol.

I log it as treadmill (cause that's what I use), input the time and adjust the calories based in what the treadmill says.

Sweat is fat crying. I don't finish when I'm tired, I finish when I'm done. I'm going to be a fit mom for Cait! (My daughter born this Jan)

You have have have to make sure you eat enough. I found personally that if I didn't eat enough my weight loss stalled in favour of keeping milk production. Better then the alternative of loosing weight and loosing supply! I personally like to keep my Net at least 1200. Sometimes that means I eat a ton after a big workout…

I remember reading that approx 2-5 pounds is boobs. More or less for some women, some women really grow when breastfeeding some stay the same.

I admire such devotion. I don't know how the sunset, sunrise works specifically if it has to be completely down or up, but I live way up north. The sun doesn't finish setting until after midnight and rises around 4am. I wonder how any Muslim people in my area cope. I really like the plan to donate all the saved money to…

My favourite running songs When Worlds Collide- Powerman 5000 Pump it- Black Eyed Peas Moves Like Jagger- Maroon 5 Gay Bar- Electric 6 Canned Heat- Jameriqua Eye of the Tiger- Survivor

1600 but technically 2100 because of 500 cals for breastfeeding. I usually try to go around 18-1900.

Incorrect, they show you the general level of ketones in your pee not how hydrated you are. I had to use them while pregnant because ketones are possibly dangerous for a growing baby. As for ketosis, I would assume that if you have a higher level of ketones then you'd be in ketosis. Open your diary means to set it to…

Hubby and I had our first this Jan. I'm 27

because today I bought my daughter superman, spiderman and batman onesies.

I eat my 500 breastfeeding cals, I didn't up my goals section because it treats those cals like they never existed/earned cals. I noticed that if I didn't at least get 300 of them in a day I wasn't really loosing weight. My body favoured milk production over weight loss. Better that then the other way around lol. Now…

I remember when I bought my scale, I weighed myself as one does. The next day I weighed myself again and I lost 15 pounds overnight! WHAT!? Turns out moving the scale from the area rug in the bathroom to the bare floor to get better light caused it. The pile on the rug and the different pile heights caused the scale to by…

Could be bloating. If eating better includes getting more fiber then it could be your body adjusting to it. A big problem with tummy measurements is bloating, it comes and goes depending on what you've been eating. Or even if you're regular, no one wants to mention poop but it's true! I know some days my belly sticks out…

What are some games they like to play? Play tag with them, catch, something that requires running around and having tons of fun. Get a great routine of on day X we play this game each week or do something fun and new. After a week or so ask them if they like going out and having fun with you then let them know, squishy mom…

Everything I've read says that it's safest to loose 2 lbs a week while nursing. I don't think the HRM would count the calories burned during milk production, they're not really programmed to do that. I'd talk to a lactation consultant if you're worried about loosing weight too fast while nursing. They might be able to help…
