ElleC I actually started doing a monthly challenge on here almost into my second week of 30DS So I know what you're talking about. What I did was I did it the minute I finished 30DS that way I wouldn't have to deal with it later LOL

Thank you everyone! I'm really please with out this turned out and to see where I've come from is even better. Anyone can do it!!! Just have to get up and do it!!

Red... According to my lactation consultants, doctors, and LLLI you do burn up to 500 calories breastfeeding from day one. As baby gets older and you don't breastfeed as much you tend to not burn as many calories to make the milk. This is why at first you are so tired and hungry is because your body is working hard to…

There is an option in food that you can select that will subtract calories from your food diary. I've been doing this, averaging about 1500-1600 in calories. I've lost about 24 or so pounds. Granted my son is 10 months old now. It really hasn't affected my milk as I eat when I'm hungry and when I eat its full of nutritious…

Shoppie - Congrats on finally reaching your goal. It's a great feeling I'm sure!!! TOM was the culprit for my lack of motivation. I'm decided that I'm going to stick it out with 30DS till about Saturday or Sunday to go along with the Sept Tribal challenge. Then I will be done. TOM for the first couple days kills me. As for…

Blue - I know the feeling on the job front. I hope that gets better for you. Lately I've been having a hard time with finding the motivation to get my body going. I've had great success and I don't want to stop but my body and mind are taking turns battling each other. I want to work out and I know that I should but my…

I have a tracker on my phone that uses GPS to track how far I've walked along with a timer. That helps me determine at least the speed and time of it. I log it as walking at whatever speed my tracker says I averaged. I do this because MFP is a pretty general calculation of calories burned, and I try to underestimate and…

Amazing results!!! I can't wait to post mine in about 7 days!

You look amazing!! Keep up the good work :)

I have a dial scale as well and my husband and I despise it! We have to constantly adjust the dial until we get 2-3 weights that are the same in a row. We'd love to get a better one but have to wait. So this will do for now. I think knowing the .2 or .6 lost would just drive me crazy. I'm too strict about that I guess.…

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water, and try to get in plenty of FRESH fruits and veggies. Also look through your diary and see what you've done differently. It could be food or lack of/too much of calorie intake. Just a thought.

I don't use a HRM. I have figured out a way to figure calories burned based off heart rate and a formula a FFL member found. (Link below) I haven't given it a full swing just because of how hard it is to keep up with. I've stuck with the estimate that I've gotten on here and had no troubles yet. I do not eat ALL of my…

<bumpity bump> We still have room!!

Wheatgrass... I know it sounds awful but I always feel amazing afterwards. Especially if this if followed my a all fruit smoothie. Plenty of water as well!

All this talk of coffee makes me want to go brew me a cup. I started out liking my coffee vary tame. Not so strong and lots of extra creamer and sugar. Now I've gotten to the point where I like the richer bolder coffees with still lots of cream and sugar but I use sugar free fat free stuff with sweeteners :)

I'm finally down to 10 pounds lost and I feel great. My daughter is looking to start school next week. It's only 2 hours for 2 days a week but its something for her. I'm really excited about it. My little guy is getting so big!! I do worry that my working out may affect my milk but it doesn't seem to bother him as much.…

Awesome!!!! Great job!!! Keep up the hard work!

Great job!!

Thanks Shoppie!! It just seems like the snacking never keeps it at bay. I'm trying to up on the protein and fiber to help feel full. It's just rough. I'm not worried about my milk, but it just seems like between him and working out that I can't satisfy myself. I drink almost 3 liters of water a day, and oh I could go on.…

Hey ladies... question for the breastfeeding moms here (if there are any :)) I'm finding it hard to not be so darn hungry all the time. Between feeding my 9 month old, and my metabolism going insanely fast. I find my self very hungry. So much that I'm very grouchy and just want to be left alone. :( I'm snacking a lot but…

We still have openings in our newest group FFL6.... It's really fun!!

The past 3 days have been awful but I'm getting back on it tomorrow. I thing that TOM just throws me off and since I'd only been going strong for a week prior it was hard to keep up. I know if I work hard I'll get these next 3 weeks going good that when that TOM happens again... I'll conquer it :) I'm getting back into…

We still have plenty of openings in our FFL6 group. :) Let me know if you're interested :)
