I am, just had baby#4 6 weeks ago im breastfeeding as well, i lost 20lbs right after i had him but the problem is that i gained 55 while pregnant so i have a ways to go. I looked up the LLL website and it says that optimal calorie intake for nursing moms is 1800 a day but could go as low as 1550 if your eating really…

I would like to join, just had baby#4 and have lots of pregnancy weight to lose. I used mfp to drop all of my baby weight last time and hope to be able to do it again. My goal is to eat healthy stop the soda and workout more. I have what feels like a long way to go but im up for the challange!

My goal is to stop the soda i started drinking again and actually get a workout in atleast 4-5 times a week. Im not really sure what a good cal goal is so im going to look that up today with regards to the nursing because i know if you restrict too much your supply goes down. I decided to stop working and be a full time…

I am very new to this whole vegan thing but i usually go for a handfull of nuts, they have fat but its a healthy fat and i realized that i probably wont stick to exactly what mpf says i should be at every day, i also think thats a guideline because everybody is different and has different needs. Jessica :)

I just started over today as well, this time for good i need to lose the weight i gained back in the last few months :( Good luck with your weight loss :)

Welcome to MFP, and congrats on your new baby! I have 3 myself and know how hard it can be to lose the baby weight,but this site makes it easy and all of the people on here are great! Good luck on your journey :) Jessica

Fivefatcats you are doing great! I wish i would have done a longer round but just didnt have the will power lol I have about a week left on phase3 and it has been a bumpy road but im still within weight, have done a few steak days and one day i couldnt wait till dinner for the steak so i had 2 eggs for lunch and steak and…

Welcome! This site and the people on it are great , it has great tools to help get you started and stay on track with a new healthy way to live :) Best of luck to you! Jessica

Personally i think that maintaining is pretty easy when you reach goal. You just have to continue to eat right and stay active :) Congrats on being so close to goal!!!

I drink a ton of water every day and have never had a problem with a gain unless I over do the sodium :) water is sooo good for you and i wouldnt worry about it.

When you first wake up, then dont do it again at all that day because it will change I try to only weigh in first thing and around the same time each day just drinking water can up your weight during the day but if you weigh the same time every day or even same time same day once a week it will be more accurate. :)

To each his/her own but i have to say i lost my first 38 lbs from working out and eating all of my calories. On the really hard workout days i really needed those extra cals to keep me going. I know everybody is different and maybe that 1000 cal might be ok for awhile but long term? I now am able to eat between 1300-1650…

You are so right, i have had a bad few days but seeing your post and my own lil pep talk to myself made me snap out of it lol We are all on here for a reason and we are doing what we can to make healthy changes we can stick to . Thanks for makin me see that! :)

I totally know how you feel, after my 3rd baby i just couldnt drop the extra weight with the way i was eating so i had to take control of it for myself and my family. I work and have a hubby and 3 beautiful children but that keeps me very busy as im sure you know with 3 kids lol I was 200 lbs as of last nov and with the…

I gained 4 lbs loading and lost it in 2 days, its sooo worth loading right because the first few days are hard enough just getting used to only 500 cals but if you load right you really wont be hungry. I am on my 6th day of phase 3 and still within my last injection weight, I love HCG and how well it worked for me to lose…

Bump :)

I agree no such thing as too much garlic! mmmm the more the better :) but you could add more water and sauce to even it out a bit

I tend to do the same thing, just make sure what you put in is good food, and try and workout, it helps a ton during tom :) and dont worry too much, it only comes once a month and after that just work extra hard to eat right , you can do it!!!

Yes VLCD just stands for what day of the Very low calorie diet you are on :)

I feel ya, its 105 where i live in Cali and even with the air cond its hott! I get up early to do my workouts and then shower right after to cool off, makes me feel good to get a good workout in the am, i do better with my eating all day because i worked so hard that i dont want to ruin it lol Good luck!

I am on day 20 of the hcg diet VLCD18 and have lost 16.2 pounds so far, i feel great have tons of energy and for the most part have to remind myself to eat! I did a ton of research before starting and personally know a few people that have done it, one over 2 years ago lost a total of 65 pounds and has stayed at that…

I almost always go over on protein, its not a bad thing if you are working out and i have lost weight just fine, when i hit a stall the first thing i up is my protien intake and it always gets me going again, dont be too hard on yourself :)

and just how long do you think you could go on 500 cals , 23 days 43 days? no without the hcg your body would shut down you would starve

I use the kraft kind and its sooo good, just a bit goes a long way and its way better for you than reg ol mayo :)

wow as normal on this site people just love to bash the hcg , thats fine if you know nothing about it and dont understand how it works, but if you really did some research you would see this diet works for thousands of people does not make you week when you take the right dose and quality hcg and can reset your mind and…

LOL NO WORRIES :)
