I've came to the same conclusion and have lost over 30 lbs already, working towards a goal of 100. I'm having trouble hitting that higher calorie goal w/ 'healthy' foods sometimes though. Care to PM and discuss?

We were laying in bed and he was giving me a massage, and started running his fingers up and down my ribs. I asked him what in the world he was doing and he told me that he can feel my ribs now with just his fingertips. After having 3 kids in 5 years I consider this an accomplishment. A big NSV for mea pair of M exercise…

I'm wondering this too. I kinda like to set mini-goals though and place the 'in 5 wks' mark by something I'll remember. the last one I did that for was feb. it said I would weigh 222. I've already beat that.I'm not going to worry bout that until 5 wks before my birthday, I want to hit ONEderland and have passed by halfway…

I had close to 100 to lose, and I'm only like 15lbs or so away from my halfwaypoint! If wait WHEN I reach my goal I might go ahead and try to lose another 30 more but idk. depends what I look like when I reach my goal. in month 4 of activly trying to lose weight or month 6 of saying ok maybe I might give it a shot.

I'm getting married 05-10-15 (2nd wedding for both of us)(my ex became abusive,his became a slut). Since we found the person who we will be happy with for the rest of our lives we want to be happy about everything with the wedding. For me part of that is going to be looking good in my dress. I started out wanting to loose…

I had mine in sept, the 3rd bio-child here too. I was 245ish, down to 222, 13 of those since using mfp. I modified my settings so my cal goal is 2000. I then take 1000 out in execize everday as my BF allowance. I know it's really only 500-800 a day you burn w/ BF but my chunky gal eats A LOT. and I'm not logging the random…

I have to ask what your begining inspiration was. My 23yr old brother looks to be about your begining size (he broke the hospitals scale that went to 500 so we don't know his weight). We've all been trying to help him and motivate him for years. I've offered to exercize with him, teach him to cook, teach him to grocery…

I actually wrote this and posted it on another site just this morning but re-posted it to my blog here.... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/blissfulbutt/view/fast-quick-food-467304

thanks I'll check that out

I never eat back my calories, and I'm usually at or a bit under my calories for the day (I try and get them all cause I'm breastfeeding). so does that mean I'll lose the weight super quick then?

28yrs old, 230, already lost 15 pounds in the past two months, want to lose about 100 more (give or take 30 in either direction). I'm 4'11 so everything shows. I'm bf my 4month old and chasing after the other 3 all day.I still manage to exercize and to track everything everday since I joined after thanksgiving.

I'm also 4months pp (with my 3rd bio-child, I also have step-kids). I'm exclusivly breastfeeding too. Everything I've read states we should consume 2000 cal a day. Breastfeeding itself burns 800-1000 a day. so I factor all that in. I actually have trouble getting the 2000 a day most days. But I exercize to lose weight.…

because all of that added salt and preservitives are just soooooooo good for you

new to the challenge and I say 45 walking while wearing the baby in her carrier. I'm already doing 1 a day.so thats just an extra 1/4 a day

I use to go clubbing like that before I had kids. and I went out 5nights a week doing it. no wonder I was so slim compared to now lol. I would prob find the avg between dancing jumping jacks and walking at the brisk pace and just type that into your exercize log. or see if they have a 'strip arobics', 'erotic dancing' or…

I'm working on loseing the weight from my 3rd. she's 3 months old. I started at 242 I'm down to 230. I had my 3rd c-section andambreastfeeding too.

anyonecan add me. just found out I weigh 230,I need to lose like 100lbs ****

I've been doing this for years and could very well have been the lady at the stre cause i tell people about it all the time! try not adding water and putting them in muffin tins; so delish but my sweetheart eats them as fast as I can make them too.any leftover disappers between the time we go to bed and the time we wake up…

me too! what songs are on your playlist?

sunday sharing- the baby woke up to nurse at 5am and wouldn't go back to sleep. We wanderred downstirs at about 6ish and got started on a huge farm style breakfast.I did pretty good considering I was cooking for almost 2hours before everyone else woke up. (baby fell asleep in her carrier). I kept my portions small and…

I'm breastfeeding my 3 month old and am always hungry too, like starving!

4'9 here! Started at 242, down to 202, trying to get down to 160 and someday possibley 130-140. Would add more right now but the baby just woke up so ttyl

I lost half on my own and am now continuing my journy with this site. All of this info is fantastic. Thank you so much for writting this!

pumpkin spice muffins are a good dessert that the kids like and it satisfys my sweet tooth and snack/small meal hunger. you could do healthyer home made but I just mix a can of pumpkin with the bag of spice cake mix, stir super well, and cook as long as it says for cupcakes. they also like chicken fahitas.garlic and a bit…

also my doc explained to me with my first that they cut through fat, 2 layers of muscle,and tissue to get to the baby during a c-section. when the muscle heals after the c-section it's scar-ed. each layer of muscle is also stretched to get in there,and shifts around. point being is after 3 (in your case 4) c-sections thats…

I had my 3rd(and last c-section) on Sept 10th. I have the same body issue that your having. I'm breastfeeding so I can't restrict calories. I've been walking around the house and dancing with the baby in the carrier for now. I'm also doing Zumba on the connect during nap time. It's kinda helping the 'mothers apron' but…

I also started gaining while I was with my abusive ex. I left him in sept 09, a month after giving birth to our 2nd child, and at a size 22jeans(I was a 10 when we met in 03!(he didn't become abusive until we got married in 06). Those 22s were getting tight when I started to lose weight the first time.I got down to a loose…

I'm also short and frown just about every time I see my body. Knowing that someone else can lose so much makes me confident that I can. How long did it take you?

well I'm just going to jump in here. I just joined last night. I've already lost 50lbs, need help loseing the other 40 or 50 or more lol. I've been doing Zumba everyday, in addition to this whole little exercize rutine I made up for while the babys in her carrier.(youngest of my broad and the last one!). i'm 28 years old…
