Almost 11 months here and heavier than the day I gave birth :'( need to ultimately drop about 100 lbs but am starting with a goal of 20. It's been extra hard since breast-feeding makes me hungrier than I've ever been!!!

Thank you everyone. I know it's not the breastfeeding specifically that causes the weight gain, but other factors that come as a result/coincide with it. I am going to try and make a conscious effort to do low carb/high protein meals (my sis and I just did meal prepping for the week so it'll be easier!) up my water even…

SSSSOOOO hungry!!! I swear it's worse then while pregnant!!

I was actually just wondering this very thing. My FitBit is always a higher number, which I've always used cuz like others have stated it has more of my info. However I feel like I'm always getting very high numbers. Its awesome if they are accurate...but I'm worried they are too high and if I "eat them back" I won't make…

I would like to know the same thing. I can see everything from MFP app on my fitbit app....but not the reverse.

I also tend to hop on the scale a lot...but i only count and record once a week. Your weight fluctuates throughout the day so try to weigh yourself close to the same time each time. You say you did it this morning...do it again tomorrow morning for example. Dont fret, be patient. It will happen! :)

Thanks for the link! I think i will start trying it out, seems like an easy and simple starting point :)

I dont so much get advice, but criticism. They like to tell me im starving myself, i need to eat more, and my favorite...why are you even bothering?! Why is none of their business, really none of it is lol I eat enough for me and i tell them that 30 lbs in 6 months im pretty sure im doing just fine. Keep doing what works…

Anyone can add me. I eat as close to 1200 as possible, and eat back some workout calories. Working well for me so far and would love to help motivate as well as get more support...you can never have enough support!! :)

As many others, i am also a mom of 2. I tend to workout at night once they are in bed, i am def a night person! I know you can jump start your day with a good workout but like to sleep too much! Ive lost weight before but watched it come back, determined to make it work this time! Feel free to add me, anyone!

As long as it is up-tempo im good to go! Ive got everything from tech9ne to aerosmith...eifel 65 to nickleback...i use slower pased songs for my cool downs so i dont get so pumped up! :)

I sat and compared and discovered that in almost every nutritional aspect 2 slices of honey wheat bread is better than 1 whole wheat tortilla. I never wouldve imagined!!

Always looking for new friends and as supportive as i can be! We all need it :) anyone can add me!

I dont have one but am thinking about getting one. Thanks for posting this!

I have never done insanity but I have TurboFire. I am getting ready to start it back up again after the new year i think, never completed it yet. I do absolutely love it though!! Stopped for personal reasons but am very excited to start it again. I think you would enjoy it!!

I am around 5'2" and also 30yrs old. I havent seen a nymber below 145 since middle school but am sure trying!! :) Feel free to add me!

Thanks for the link. Although i am still quite confused it does make a little more sense now. Not sure i will ever be able to eat them all back but i will prob make more of an effort :)

I use it as a guideline only. I just want it to say im a normal weight. I just moved from obese to overweight and felt great about it. However it varies individually. I knew an older woman who was very healthy looking...maybe even on the underweight side...but her BMI actually said she was overweight!! Same with my uncle.…

I am definately not hungry, i actually feel like i am over eating when i eat back what i burned. But then i also wonder if thats just cuz my body isnt used to it. Most of my teenage/adult life if i wasnt hungry i didnt eat...thus causing me to eat a lot less than i should. I found out when starting to use MFP i was in fact…

Having a very small budget, and 2 small children, i def eat them. However...due to the insane sodium content we always have a sandwich with it and manage to split one pack between 3 people. This way its not quite as bad but we can still enjoy them...cuz theyare quite yummy!! :happy:

After reading this entire thread...i dont like only one pic either, working on more myself. Pics of yourself are preferred over cartoons or other things. Boob shots...can do without but it is the internet afterall so you're bound to find them. As far as the flirting/dating...no that is not the intent of this site, but…

I envy the people like you who lose their boobs. I want to but instead my face and fingers get thinner...ugh! Lol

I just copy and pasted that so I could print it out! Made a copy for my friend too. :)

Absolutely! I knew i couldnt be the only one curious! :) @cherbear67 that list is amazing!! Thank you!!

I want to try that but have no idea how to make them! Where can i get some good recipes?

I have started to look at individual nutritional things. I have spent my time really concentrating on calories for now but am looking at where to put my efforts next. It seems to be that sugar, sodium and cholesterol are what i tend to have too much of on a regular basis...so that will probably be where my next efforts go.…

Wow! Thanks for all those ideas!! :) with my immensly picky taste i can work alot with those!!

Me too!! :)

You can add me! :) I thought the point of this is to help get support, not to be made to feel like we are "doing it wrong" advice is nice when its asked for...thats it! :)

Its a little embarassing at first but you get used to it. Having someone supportive in your corner is helpful. All the people laughing or judging either dont have the will power to make the change themselves, or respect for your decision. They will feel different when they see your results. Keep your head held high, youre…
