HI! I am not 5"3 but 5"4. I am 41 and have six kiddos, the youngest 14 months old. My starting weight as of Feb. 2012 was 174! I am now 136 and my goal is 125. I must admit that after the first three the weight came off quite easily so I had to really work hard at it. I started MFP in November of last year.

Yes! As a mom to six, if your breastfeeding make sure to take in enough calories to breast feed........Also, realize that after having a baby your body needs time to recover so workout and eat healthfully taking in enough calories. I have seen alot of websites that having exercising with baby which may be good for you if…

Better not to overdue on sodium (less is better). If you read up on Eat To Live on line by Dr. Fuhrman, doctors will tell you that 1,500 two 2,000 is good however less than that is better for your health. I am hypertensive (thank God I was finally taken off my last bp medication as of yesterday!), however I am NO LONGER…

While my family had pizza I had a healthy sandwich from Subway. :))))

We have had my boys in private school till we moved to Florida...........we actually paid more in tuition when we moved here. The state actually offered us financial assistance with our tuition if we would of stayed. WE tried public school for one year and opted to homeschool......................We have paid from $3,000…

I understand what your getting at. I try to find time to work out after getting all six kiddos away for bed...........sometimes at night I rather just sit down and relax rather than pop in the workout video. However whatever you do for a while becomes a habit. I have forced myself to workout in the evenings and rather than…

I work out when my three little ones go to bed..............that only leaves three older children but usually I can workout at least 30 minutes without any interruptions.......the key for me is to do a very hard active 20-25 minute workout. I can't do an hour's worth........May try to start getting up early however wonder…

Doing my kickboxing video today. Almost passed out yesterday but determined to do all 25 minutes of it today :)

If your trying to lose weight I would recommend Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live Diet..................I follow it loosely however since I do eat chicken...........THe Dash Diet states you can have I think 1500 mg of sodium daily but I find that following Eat to Live I eat much less than what they recommend. I follow the Eat To…

HI! I just lost 32 pounds and am currently on a 1200 calorie diet. I workout at least 5 times a week for 20-45 minutes. I am 5"4 and weighed 174 pounds and am down to 142. My goal is 125. I have six children, am 41, so know that you all are going to do well in losing because everyone I spoke with pretty much told me that…

My dr. informed me that I can have as much as 1500 mg of salt daily. I do not use salt at all when preparing eggs.....I use something called No Salt (costs about $4 but it has some flavor though it takes getting used to). There are lots of ways to limit salt contents in your diet. No processed foods, no canned soups (even…

You would have to ask yourself some questions....are you consuming more than your usual calories.....have you been working out less or maybe the workouts your doing need to be more intensified.....maybe your losing inches so I would not worry....we really can't answer this question for you.....Make sure to log in calories…

I have had numerous people who used to ask me how far along I was? I even was asked from someone at my church when I was due after baby number six after I just had a baby 3 weeks prior LOL I extend the hand of grace to people and realize that they sometimes say before they think. I make a rule of NEVER asking unless that…

These have been my 2 weeks doing the 30 day shred.................I am still on Workout One LOL In order that I don't become bored, I take 2 days off and do the treadmill instead.........It has been great but I guess with the combination of diet and exercise I have been losing a bit more than when I was just using the…

Having uncontrolled blood pressure since 2011 when I was expecting my sixth child at 20 weeks (and HBP not go away)I needed to read labels because despite two medications my bps were still high. I find that I make EVERYTHING from scratch. I always used to say "I'm too busy" however I now had no choice but to make my own…

HI THis is the first time I have been actually trying to lose POST BABY weight...I have six children, the last three (including my miscarriage) I feel as though I have been pregnant since 2007. Was diagnosed with hypertension in my 20 week with my daughter in 2011 and it never went away. Thankfully I have lost 26 pounds…

Hi You can add me on :)))

I have been dealing with hypertension since 2011 when I was pregnant with my daughter (born feb. 2012). My bp still wasn't normal range and had to be put on two medications for it. I went on a diet plan (some don't call it that) called Eat to Live (Dr. Furhman). I implemented many of his principles in it (but following it…

I do............I have six children (four boys 15, 11, 7 and 4) and two girls ages 3 and 11 months. I miscarried my baby girl before I had my four year old boy.............Since I started this plan (and have lost 22 pounds since November 4th), everyone in my household is on board and everyone is eating much healthier. I…

I am on a 1200 calorie diet and working out on a treadmill for 45 minutes daily. At first, I must admit, I felt hunger throughout the day but mine was more of not doing well in balancing out my meals so I would have very few calories left for dinner. Foolish I admit however have learned to balance out my calories and don't…

HI THere, Am new to MFP......I am praying it will make a difference in not only how I look but how I feel. I have six children (one of whom which is only seven months old). All my pregnancies were uncomplicated except for baby six when I started having high blood pressure around 14 weeks. It started to climb slowly. Long…

HI THERE :) I am excited to use myfitnesspal since I have seen a few friends of mine do so well at it in the past six months. I am a mom of six, youngest being seven months old. I unfortunately winded up having high blood pressure throughout my pregnancy and it has stuck around since. My doctor suggested losing a few…
