24+ weeks here and decided to start actually counting today. This is baby #2. I started out lighter this time around, but I still don't want to gain as much.

Absolutely.

Hi! Welcome! Glad you're taking a step towards being healthy. Having friends on here definitely helps keep the motivation up. Feel free to add me. :)

I usually eat about half back, because I figure the burn calculators are probably overestimating a bit.

I am in the same boat. I gained 35 and lost 20 within the first couple of weeks. The last 15 have held on! I had gained after my wedding, too. Ideally, I'd like to lose about 50, but we'll see. I lowered my calories last month and lost 2 lb, but also dropped supply like crazy. So, I am trying this again! Feel free to…

HA /killingit Welcome! Feel free to send me a friend request. I have a 4 month old and need to get back to "cougar status" (as I told my physician the other day).

Welcome!

I'm in the same boat and my baby is also 4 months. Doctor said increase exercise (duh) and protein (duh) and water (haha).... but yeah, still holding onto some weight. I decreased calories for a while to 2200 and went back to work and my supply dropped (I exclusively pump) immensely, so I backed off a bit. Better to be a…

Hi! My baby girl is 4 months and 1 week old now and I am still up 15ish pounds from pre-pregnancy. Feel free to add me (anyone) ;)

totally slipped as well. feel free to add :)

Me too. Fell off the wagon and a lot of my friends have disappeared. :sad:

Buying a house in my area was cheaper than renting, so I rented for one year and then got the idea to purchase. Been here 10 years this summer. Greatest investment ever.

The caffeine helps me go in the morning. Haha

I think a lot of women have these issues. What works for me is a good 12-15 cups of water per day, plus a minimum of 30 grams of fiber per day along with exercising. If I sit on my butt for two or more days in a row, and don't have adequate intake of the other two, it's a bad thing! Edit: I also add 1 tsp of Chia seeds to…

I mix with lox (smoked salmon) and just eat it like that :)

Is "straight edge" still a term? We used that back in the 90s! I partied and lived! Wahoo!

I have both Old Navy and Gap and they're relatively cheap and have lasted me quite a while. I wear them most days for work (at home) as well and I think they're good quality. I like working out in mine too. :)

I didn't want to spend the $400+ for a Vitamix, so I got the NutriBullet last week and so far so good. I've blended carrots, ice, strawberries, greens and more to a pulp. I'd recommend it.

Peach! I can't remember the other one I like... but it's spicy. haha

I'm 30 YOF here, looking to lose 15... I track everything, even bad days, and I'm trying to get more exercise to balance out my desk job. Feel free to add ;)

I use a baking measuring spoon for my peanut butter. Is this not what they mean by a "tablespoon"?

I log daily, good and bad. :)

Thrift store George Foremans are like $5.

Bump :)

Yeah, what she said

prednisone sucks... keep a log on here, and update everything that goes in your mouth and hopefully that will help counteract :) good luck!

Damn, nice job! :)

Pee on a stick and report back.

That's pretty childish of him.......... have him work out with you.

Yes, if you eat them back you'll still be at the original deficit. :)
