ii had my son in July too, but July 2012.

there are other podcasts available too, on itunes. i used the NHS one. the music is techno, if that would turn you off (it's not my thing, but i found it kinda fun to run to in the end). NHS also has a couch to 5k +, for when you graduate, that works you through speed, endurance and intervals.

Thanks for sharing your experience with that feature. I suppose I thought it was accurate for others, so it's good to know that maybe it's not. And I am going down, slooowly, but down. MFP has me at 1300 and I add in 300 more for nursing.

Yes, that wasn't really clear in my post, I ultimately eat 1800, more if I exercise because I eat that back too. I'm going to read that thread, thank you! It's a foreign concept to me to eat more to lose. And thanks Sara, at least I know it's not just me and it's just slow going for some of us then.
